Well ok, time for an E-Woody

This is my errection, Had it a little while but for anyone who wants a simple and silent WC setup, these are well worth it. Keeps my OCed Q6600 cool anytime.


These I got a month or two back and are used for my second RAID-0 array. 150+ MB/s read/write for under $150



And these are and Main RAID-0 set. Cost a fair bit more but they scream grunt.

Done and done, but it would be silly to make the assumption that photos won't be posted.

On a hot day (30+), coretemp reports about 65 on the junctions but the real temp between the waterblock and CPU is usually about 35-40.

The system holds about 2L of coolant so it does take a while to build up with heat. Its not a high performance job like some of the gear out there but its silent and does its job. I expect the temps to drop a little soon when i pull the CPU and block and lap them and put in better heat transfer compound.
