Congratulations! finally turned out awesome

Thanks man I'm looking forward to seeing your completed 140.3 project :P

It looks awesome, but i have one question: why not exiting the last tube from bottom card -> res from the top, instead of from bottom, that would make a more direct path, less bends, shorter tubing... ?

Could you explain a bit more what you mean?

looks great thumbs up

how are your temps? and any OC on that 920?

Hey

Thanks.

I just replaced the water in the loops yesterday as it was looking a bit low.

The temps are pretty good:

IDLE:

Temperatures
Motherboard 43 °C (109 °F)
CPU 25 °C (77 °F)
CPU #1 / Core #1 31 °C (88 °F)
CPU #1 / Core #2 31 °C (88 °F)
CPU #1 / Core #3 29 °C (84 °F)
CPU #1 / Core #4 29 °C (84 °F)
GPU1: GPU 38 °C (100 °F)
GPU1: GPU Memory 30 °C (86 °F)
GPU1: GPU Ambient 36 °C (97 °F)
GPU2: GPU 37 °C (99 °F)
GPU2: GPU Memory 29 °C (84 °F)
GPU2: GPU Ambient 34 °C (93 °F)

After a bit of gmaing they go up by about 5 or 10 degrees so not too bad at all.

I'm not overclocking yet. Going to wait until such a time when I need to :P


Oh I finally got round to installing the UV lighting so it looks pretty cool now.

The tubes are glowing :P

I'll get some pictures uploaded when I get the chance.

If you guys have been following my post at: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...the-heck-is-it you will see I had issues with a contaminated loop.

It looks like the radiator was to blame all along and now leaks. My trusty PA120.3 has let me down.

I'm moving the front radiator into the bottom as I need 24.5mm spacing but have had to buy a new one for the front CPU loop in the form of a TA 120.3.

What I also noticed was a lot of the nickel plating had come of the Bitspower fittings exposing copper - shocking really.

So then it's good-bye front PA 120.3, hello PA140.3. The TA 120.3 didn't impress me much.

I'm still keeping the bottom PA120.3 for cooling the GPUs and Motherboard but the CPU willl now have its very own 140.3

I'm in the endless rad flushing stage at the moment but have already modified the case and brackets to fit the new rad.

I'll post some pictures when done
