This block is not as good as the Apogee GTZ I use in my other rig indeed. It's a sufficent setup though considering available space and the mild 4Ghz OC. :)

Its the Swiftech unit, so the pump is integrated into the actual waterblock, clever little space saver for such a small case ;)

why don't you reverse the rad, cut the hoses short and thus increase heat transfer!

just an idea...

white is... refresing! not sure about the green tubing, though!

I just realized there is an ass load of DVD's behind that case! Holy smokes! How many you got... almost looks like the wife's collection of Disney movies!

I give you a 8/10 for hardware and putting together a neat little monster you have there, great job with the space you have.

he'll be leaving it as it is due to the fact that if you disconnect anything or trim the tubing you void your warranty with swiftech.

It would be wise then to use different hoses instead of cutting them :D

Im sure it wouldn't be that hard. The hard part would be trying to bleed a fully enclosed WC set-up like that.

The green coils is what came with the swiftec unit. I've got white on the way ifg I don't just change the tubes.

It would be wise then to use different hoses instead of cutting them :D

I was thinking the same thing, just undecided as to what. I use PrimoFlex Pro LRT on my other build.

depends if you can get the original tubes off without damaging them in any way :ohwell:

Yeah they come off easy.
Im sure it wouldn't be that hard. The hard part would be trying to bleed a fully enclosed WC set-up like that.
It's pretty quick, the rad has a top fill reservoir.

Thanks for all the comments guys

Benchmark Scores Not a Bench machine only OC'd cuz it's in my blood. This is boarderline over-kill for my needs, but
I love this case and motherboard. Full featured micro atx!!! Very cool.
So my critique, http://ie.thefreedictionary.com/critique - #1 work of art.
Add a little more red, change the water-block, maybe some red cool-sleeves instead of green, if they are even necessary.
But, with that said it won't be as tidy with a new block, cuz you are gonna need a pump.
There is something to be said about the all in one system, as far as simplicity goes. So maybe just some red or white cool-sleeves.
If temps are good why mess with it.

I have the Antec Quattro 1000 psu, and you NEED to get some air down there
some how. Unless of course you have a fan down there and I just don't see it.
In either case you get a 10 from me.

Great job!!

Okay took some advice I changed the tubing to Danger Den White UV Bue 3/8 in ID 5/8 Outer ID. Since I changed the tubing I went ahead and added Swiftech MCW-NBMAX Northbridge Cooler because this board has high Norbridge temps. Temps are about 10'c cooler than they were previously. Working on windowing out the side panel now.

Nice! But I would be worried about those GTX 280s, not only are they really close with little room for intake, but the exhaust of the Rad is blowing at them too :eek:

How are the temps for them?

Looks better, man!

8/10

Thanks!!
Nice! But I would be worried about those GTX 280s, not only are they really close with little room for intake, but the exhaust of the Rad is blowing at them too :eek:

How are the temps for them?

The rad exhaust actually helps with the overall internel air flow. Warm air is better than no air. The rear 120mm and the top 200mm get all the warm air from getting trapped in the case.

Temps are about the same as they were when they were in my other build but it was a Tri-SLI. 56' idle 83 max @ load. I am however considering running a single GTX280 or pair of4890's

Poor thin MCR240 :( a core i7 and an x58 northbridge for it.. hehe

My idle core temps went up 7'c but the 10'c drop in idle northbridge temps was worth it. I've got a My first i7 920 will do 3.8Ghz 1.275v & 3920Mhz 1.32v. I'm gonna put it in and stay @ 3.8GHz 24/7. The chip will do 4.2GHz @ 1.425v but that will be far too much for the current cooling.
