BTW. The rig looks fantastic with the black and green
Cheers man. Um mounted the rad like that so that the tubes make a loop easier i guess, if it was the otehr way i'd have to use more tubing (i ran out) so yea that was the most logical way i could think of.


+1 for the DB1 pump also, its solid and silent well i used to have the MCP650 which sounded like bats in my bedroom.. not cool.

See Pic Above for other rig using the samea stuff, a bit darker tho.

Nulon Read FTW which i got from my local Autobarn for about $10 for a 1lt bottle, that would make up about 2-3 loops. I use it in both my rigs and so far i am happy. I am going to make it slightly darker and put a UV Light in it this arvo, i will post up another pic in the "Nulon Red" thread thats lieing around here.

Cheers. Not bad a for a old hack job casea

just one thing though: I can't believe how well ONE rad is keeping ur CPU nice temps and your feeding it 1.4 volts... have you gone much higher yet?[/QUOTE]

Yea, it is doing a good job which is good to see. I bet if it was a Quad like in my other rig it would be a bit warmer

Do you have any ideas where i could get the inside of my case Powder-Coated black like that?
Im using a Lianli- PCa10 with a case window and think it would look amazing.

I think a handful of people on the forums have had their cases powercoated..
Can't name names though you'll just have to ask around, Me? I can't think of anywhere you'd be able to get it done, sorry

Heres another pic of em without them being turned on - this might help you see what they look like normally.

Also, before i had the Rad outlet and pump inlet as 3/8" Barbs but i have since thrown 1/2" barbs in there to replace them

Apokalipse - Thats a moster case and a weird spot to mount the pump, i have never seen em mounted there before. Very neat n tidy but i swear those GPUs are hanging to be throwing into the loop also

They are meant for a Car They are Aepro brand and they do a resonable job. I just chopped off the 12v car plug and wired it up to the Floppy Disk power plug and i threw in a toggle switch that i mounted on top of the case so i can control em

I thought i would do it as this is just a "hack" case and i wasnt fussed about it.

No Idea, i imagine they are the same basically. I dont have a comp store locally that has em and had the money in my pocket burning a hole so i got em when i got some more coolant.

For $15 each, they do the job. With the Blue die i have they do a better job, the Red doesnt react the best IMO but its still better then Green

Here is my compact addition to the mix....

Computer Bits:

Case - Antec Nine Hundred
CPU - E6600
MoBo - P5N32-SLI Premium
RAM - XMS2 DDR-800 4-4-4-12
GPU - XFX 8800GTX SLI

Cooling Bits:

CPU - D-Tek Fuzion
GPU - 2 x EK8800 Full Block
Rads - 1 x Swiftech 120, 1 x Swiftech 220
Pump - Swiftech Laing D5
Res - Swiftech Micro

Piccies









Not overly impressed with the temps, particularly seeing as nothing is overclocked...But I was really after a quieter PC (temps are still better than air though! )...
