Ooooh, I like the tubing

I think I should stop following this thread because it makes me want to spend lots of money on a water-cooling loop

Haha!!! That reminds me of my roommates build. He's running an Athlon X2 250 w/ one (1) Sapphire HD 5770 all at stock speed...his PSU? >>> A CM 1000w Silent Pro Modular. I kinda talked him into it telling him he's have it for at least 15 years!! In case he upgrades...which I'm sure he will

Oooooo It's Christmas in spring for Nexus!!!! Cheers mate! I know that feeling....here's a pic of my day...January 9th 2009:



And I would definitely go for the Dominators. Aside from being excellent RAM, Corsair's warranties and customer service are Top Notch....RMA's issued within 24 hours. I speak by experience.

@adam
How are you liking the NZXT Vulcan. I was linked to a review of the case by a friend a couple of days ago and really liked the general layout and size of the case. What are your impressions? (other than it's small OFC)

Yeah, I've gone through two white led's in that reservoir. For some reason they keep burning out on me prematurely. I have two more on the way.

Redid my water loop today and took out the single 120 rad and left the 240 rad in there and also turned the fans so they blew air out the top and i must say temps dropped pretty good. up to 5 deg i ran prime95 on max heat for 45 minutes and didnt go above 52 deg



*edit*

Well i did 45 minutes of prime95 on max heat with the cpu @ 4ghz @1.25v and it did fairly well. it got full load at 68deg. Not the coolest temps but it will do

Max temp for my CPU is 61c. As is under full load it hovers between 48-50c with an occasional rare peak above 50c.

Remember this is under full load all four cores at 100%

That is not hot. Here's a current shot of AOD status monitor as I type this:



Lapping the Big T will lower the temps by 2c at most. Maybe 4c if I lap my CPU as well
