nice rig

Looks nice dude though I winced when i saw those Y splitters, i'd push the tubing a lot further on ASAP, it looks like it's about to pop off!

Yeah okay so you made a few easily correctable mistakes but woah! Great effort none the less

As others have said, take out the "y" splitters and make it a single tidy loop. with the splitters like that you are dropping your cooling ability by... a lot. Once you get it cleaned up a bit and get the loops sorted you will probably see better temps.

EDIT: Just noticed that you have the video card in the last PCIe slot as well. That slot is not capable of running at 16x. I would highly recommend moving it to one of the slots that is wired for 16x. but, that's just my opinion, i could be wrong.

Yeah I thought I heard that it does not run at 16x. The primary reason I placed it there was because the reservoir didn't have enough room. x_x I'll have to see what I can get away with.

I'll be redoing the interior shortly. I have already cleaned up a lot of the cabling. But to be honest, I need to clean my room first. There are parts everywhere.

As for temps, my CPU is idling at around 50C and my videocard is idling around 32C. Not very good.... ideas? I suppose I could remove the Y splitter.

Oh and yeah I am trying to get the tubes on further lol. They are over the lip though.

I like this forum, Most forums with knowledge would not bother to point out things that may cause you problems or give Constructive criticism.

The video card block probably has less restriction on the flow of coolant so more coolant is able to pass through that block than the CPU block, therefore better cooling.

As for the video card and res fitting problem, not sure what to do there really. I would say to mount the res horizontal in the top of the case, but that might not be functional.

Might be able to mount the radiator up top and put the res and pump down in the bottom, but not really the right setup for that either, 140mm fans up top and all. Would it be possible to mount the radiator in the front of the case where the three intake fans are? Not sure on the size of the fans or the room available there. there are options, but I am unable to really size things up and get a good view with the pictures.

Interesting idea mate. Depending on how things go, I might just wait till the 2011 socket comes out and then ill update the rig for its very last time. If the board has native 16x support on each slot then it would be fine. I'll look into moving things around probably this weekend or next. At the moment, I am just happy that it is done. So many pieces got delayed, it took me about 2 months to get all my parts. =P

Seen Resident Evil ? Looks like the vials that have the T-Virus in. Jus' Sayin'.
