    Nice work Major. Your good results make me think I should go with water setup as well, at least with one loop (cpu) for a start. I have positive experience before with Performance PCS, so I'm still having second thoughts about cpu block and radiator since I wont to put rad inside my cm690 rather than back on the case.

    I'm with you, I like everything inside the case and out of sight.

    Always put cooler air into your rad. I have a PA120.3 push/pull supplying ambient room air into my U2-UFO, across the MB and out the back and top.

    I totally agree, but with my rad being in the top of the case that is easier said than done.

    With the addition of the drive bay fan I've got my temps inline. When I add the rad in the bottom of the case that should help too sice it WILL be drawing in cool air from under the case.

    Was looking at setting up the new loop and figured out how to use the sythe kama bay fan to mount the RX120 up front in the drive bay.
    Just needs a mod or two and that way I can leave my pumps at the bottom of the case too.

    Just an update. I finally got everything to add a Rad in the bottom of the case.
    RX120, 2x GT 1850rpm, and some right angle fittings for the pumps.

    I'll post some photos after I get it all set up (I'm sure I'll stay up late messing with it! lol)

    Here is the last temp test I did after I reversed the fans in my case. All are blowing out now except the ones on the RX360 in the top which are drawing cold in in through the rad.
    The RX120 will go in the bottom of the case drawing cold air in through it as well. I'll post some results after I get it all set up at the same settings below for comparison.



    BTW, I have some money to put into my system next week. Looking at going with a 980x on the RX360 and RX120 with the same setup and adding a Nvidia 480 to a separate loop with 2x Swiftech QP120's one in the front drive bay and the other in the rear of the case. I may have the money to go with some DDC 3.25 pumps and dual tops too.

    Pretty happy with the setup

    First off I needed some additional space under the case for air flow to the rad and PSU so I installed some coasters:



    I had to rearrange the pumps to fit in the drive bay, I used Velcro tape to secure the pumps to the bottom of the drive bay and reduce vibration:


    Initially I was going to use 2x GT's in push/pull but the lower one between the rad and the case was making contact and scrubbing against the case opening so I just went with the one fan for now.


    I think it looks pretty clean, not like it matters to much since I don't have a window on the case and nobody will every see it that would actually appreciate stuff like sleeving or hundreds of $$ of fittings! lol


    Here is the font view with the Scythe Kama bay fan, the pumps sit right in front of the fan (notice my work bench is the kitchen table these days! )


    And finally the results, Major's water cooling Revision 1.3


    If you look back up a few posts you can see the difference in temps from the previous revisions of the cooling. The RX120 made a 5c improvement in temps.

    It hit 70c one instant but stayed at 68c max for core #1, I'm sure I'll get another 1c out of it when all the air is purged.

    I don't think I'll have room to add any more Rads without modding the case for cooling my video once I get something new. Not sure what the best course will be for the video.

    Well I don't have any other pumps to compare them too!

    They are very quite though, when they were in the bottom of the case I couldn't hear them at all. Now that I've moved them up into the drive bay in front of the fan I hear a very slight hum. They seem to be moving some water based on the vortex in the micro res.

    Only real complaint with the pumps so far is the lack of mounting options.

    One observation I just made and I'm not sure what it may indicate.

    I monitoring the rpm's on the pumps through the mb and EasyTune6. I just noticed that now the pump rpms are up from the previous setup.
    Before they were at 1700-1704 rpm and now the are reading 1735-1739 rpm. Would that indicate an increase of flow? pumps not working as hard?

    I added 2x 90deg fittings to the setup that should have added some restriction to the loop.
    The only other thing that has changed other than adding the RX120 is the male to male rotary that was connecting the two pumps has been removed and I moved the pumps up higher in the case.

    Just curious, may not indicate squat haha

    I think it's due to the added restriction. Just pinch a tube and see if the rpm's go up, that should indicate it.

    Nice setup you got there Major, good to see you're enjoying WC.

    Thanks!

    Yep, pinched one of the tubes and the rpms shot up to 1745.

    Just seems like it would be opposite to me, but what do I know

    So, I didn't quite make it to revision 2.0 yet.

    I'd say I'm on Rev 1.6 right now.

    Installed 2 RX120's, one in the bottom of the case (replacing the one I messed up) and another in the drive bay. Changed the pump configuration around a little but kept the EK DCP 4.0 pumps.

    Res>pump>RX120>RX120>pump>RX360>cpu>

    Didn't see much of an improvement in temps by adding the second RX120, but I'm ready for more processor power now!
