HAF X Water Cooled (first)

[blair]

Hi,

Here are some pictures of my gaming rig built it a few weeks ago but only now is it completely finished

is my first water cooled pc hasnt leaked yet (touch wood) and temps are excellent GPU has gone from 45C idle, 90C load to 21C idle, 36C load. CPU idles around 30C cause fans are on 40% and 100% load around 50C with a 4Ghz OC. Very quiet only a little noise i can hear and im sat right next to it, had to change the fans though from some Apache one cause they didnt like the speed controller sounded like a nest of wasps, using Gentle Typhoons now 1850rpm.

Here are some pics:

nice and even nicer temps though I would of thought the AMD proc would be lower idle. looks great mate

Yea i was surprised too, thats the temp 100% load on furmark gets around 32C running a game and cpu 42C running game. can lower more by turning fans on full but i dont want a tornado in my room. lol

Thinking of getting rid of the dvd drive as it makes it look untidy inside and i hardly use it and buy a external one to put on my desk for the odd time i need it. just wondering can you play games that need a cd through an external one?

Yup, I have one and it was only used on the initial installation of windows.

Looks great, I have some questions if you don't mind, I just got the HAF X and am looking for pointers on how to set up my watercooling loop.

well you can fit a 360 rad in the roof on push pull and sometimes you can fit a thicker rad too i already had a 360 slim rad so i fitted the 120 in the back as i added the gpu to the loop.
