Id do it just so it matched, but then we all know what Im like for details

 

[Denis777]

Yeah i pay a lot of attention to details too but i just still can't decide either to add water cooling block to my second gtx 260 or sell my video cards and get two gtx 480 and then install matching water blocks heh

really nice how come you watercooled the ram aswell?

 

[AMDFTW]

thats epic fella

 

[Denis777]

what do you mean how come ? i don't know if that's going to answer your question but personally i don't think that ram sticks need water cooling they don't get that hot; but i did it because looks kool that way

really nice how come you watercooled the ram aswell?

Great modding man!

The only thing I can see that I would have personally done differently was put the cooling loop in a different order. It looks like you have the CPU after the RAM, or after the MOSFETs, depending on what direction your water is flowing. It's important (to me at least) to always have the most important part of your loop get the coolest water (ie. CPU and GPU(s)). Just a suggestion!

Edit: Same goes for the GPU loop you have, not sure if the GPU is before the Chipset or not, but I would definitely make sure that you've got the coolest water hitting the GPU before the chipset!

You got a point there water goes to MOSFET first then CPU you are right water first to the most important part or the hottest .... but because of the layout of the motherboard in order to make my tube run nice and clean was to first MOSFET then CPU any other way tube run would of look ugly ... so i traded little bit of performance for looks and personality i don't believe that it makes that big of a difference because MOSFET's doesn't get that hot so...

And yes water goes first to chipset and GPU but in that case its hard to tell whats more important chipset or GPU ... the chipset on my motherboard is NF200 which is known for getting extremely hot before i water cooled my system my GPU would get 80c on full load but my chipset up to 93c so i believe i am okay there because chipset is the hottest part.
