Water-Cooling on its way

[Epicurus]

Just started my water-cooling project.

I have ordered a MountianMods case which should come soon but I wanted to see what kind of temps I would get from my new DD Block.

Idle = 28deg and after running prime95 for about 30 mins its at 39deg compared to 60deg under HS+Fan. Idle on HS+F where 38deg

The pump that I am using us a C-Systems CSP750 Mark II. They are very quite and I am quite inmpressed...

I have another one of these pumps to go with a DD NV68 block, but that needs some work as it look like DD could not be bothered...

Here are some pics and before anyone say.. what a mess in there, I know... its not for ever..

That looks real cool mate , nice work. How noisy is it with all the fans at full speed?

You're giving me the 'start a new project' bug...I can feel it coming on

 

[Epicurus]

at the mo I have 4 120mm fans at the front and 3 80mm Fans at the back for the HDDs. When all fans are on full its quite nosiy, but I have not found that I need them all on full..

I have the 3 80mm fans on low and thats enough to keep the hdds cool and the ones for the rad are also on low and that keep the water cool as wel..

when fans are on low its quite....

So what project you thinking of???

Don't know yet, I suppose it will be based on what ever parts come my way. Two watercooled 6800 GTs in SLI on the new Asus nforce board with a MachII cooled FX-55 sounds nice...but way of budget

 

[Epicurus]

now what you mean. I was thinking of doing the SLI thing next year..

When did they change the PSU mounting from under HDDs to over mobo tray? Not sure I like it that way

I did love my old Mountain Mods case it j00ns for case space

I found it noiser than my prommi rig!

Have you had any other pumps to compare the c-systems to? I have a dangerden 12v and its noisy so looking at perhaps c-systems to replace it
