    Its DONE!

    All up and running! Looks unreal!

    Got the DSLR camera out for these shots so they are better quality.
    Sorry about the reflections, not much I can do about it without setting up a studio!

    Wow that's a lot of quick disconnects. Do you find yourself connecting and disconnecting quite frequently?

    Its easier for maintenance and safer for the components, since I can remove any component from the system without flushing the whole loop out.

    Less chance of a spillage as they are high flow no spill quick disconnects.

    Yes I have also changed my setup a lot in 6 months.
    I have even changed the loop since initially building it because there wasnt enough pressure to push an even flow rate through the GPU's in a parallel setup, so they are now in series and it took 5mins to change without flushing the system.

    Did you manage to see the pics in the end? No one else has had problems?

    I notice my ipad sometimes doesnt load them all as it runs out of memory sometimes.

    Nice build, looks really good in the new case. And it also looks like your new CPU will do great.

    I'm just glad I'm not your pump though... Have you ever measured the flow of your system? All these blocks, 90C turns and tubing must keep that pump under some serious pressure?

    Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?

    Yeah normal gaming peak temps are 76c. Only benching and stress testing pushes the temps to 88c. Thats with an ambient air of 26c to 28c as I dont have A/C down stairs in the new space.

    No that's with fans at 900-1200rpm depending on water temp.
    Going any faster just creates noise and doesnt really cool much better, maybe 2-3c better with fans on max and not worth the noise.

    Ok, where do you measure the water temp, and are the rads hot?

    Are you satisfied with those temps?

    The water temp is measured in the res and the rads are not hot at all.
    For the OC i've got Im happy enough with the temps, though because I have room I will probably add another BI GTX360 rad at the back on the bottom 3 fans.

    Why not take out the rads, and wire the fans on each of them together and only have 1 plug for the 3? Some heat shrink tubing to clean up the soldering and sleeve it and presto. Went from 3 to 1 single wire to control the fans on your radiator.
