sexxxxxehhh, is that a scratch i see on the front ?x

Make sure you prop up your desk for all that weight dude!

 

[woppy101]

no mate no scratch just a little bit of sticky on it just wiped it off

 

[General_Chris]

nice rig mate ^^ atleast better as mine xD

 

[AMDFTW]

very nice mate,ile stick with air and a CM dominator

 

[MJMax]

How are your GPU/CPU temperatures with that cooling?

 

[woppy101]

the gpu temps have droped by a few c the ati now idles at 38-40 and the nvidia is down about 10c to 50c

 

[stevej696]

Nice setup very clean!

 

[Socks]

nice rig, but...id change the loop layout...

Why not go from the pump to cpu, cpu to rad, rad to res, res to pump? might look a bit neater and means you wont have a massive tube running all the way from bottom to top of case?

Just a suggestion

 

[Toxcity]

Nah, Socks. Looks aren't everything. For cooling performance the loop is the right way. You don't want to be picking up the heat from the pump and taking it to the CPU.

 

[woppy101]

i was just about to say the same thing

 

[lasher]

You will end up getting lines Socks!

you must write 100 times

res pump rad

res pump rad

and repeat....

 

[biscuitboy]

I was wondering this, really how much heat are you talking from a pump? a degree? Hardly warrants reduced flow rates + lower turbulence in t' block due to more tubing does it?...

I have also read that cooling the water before it enters the pump helps the longevity of the pump! Plausible.

Any tests or reviews on here about loop layout and order etc??

Nice rig tho man! Love the black internals of that case!

is your card workin for physx with ur ati woppy?

cos i read a sticky elsewhere sayin if u want physx to work with ur ati card that the physx card should go in the primary slot!

 

[sammytomjohn]

also nice rig but cant believe you use this over the tj07

 

[Socks]

omg....

Looks arent everything?? DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!! of course they are...

I find the shortest way possible is the best way...and tbh...do you really think that there will be a difference in the temps?? nothing noticeable...and im a man who knows from having too many loops and too much time...

Neatness is the way forth..

My loop = Pump, cpu, rad...

never seen that before mate but physx seems to be working fine

 

[woppy101]

i tell you what the obsidian is far far far easier to work with than the tj07 and it seems far bigger

 

[tinytomlogan]

I used to loop the res>pump>rad way, but even I just do it the tidiest way if it really comes down to a mahoooosive bit of hosing.
