Not a particularly impressive system, but whatever:

I'm having fun with the cool weather--50F ambients for the radiator give marvelous temperatures indeed!
I was getting ~40C full load with the CPU @ 3.6GHz & 1.28V, I'm experimenting now and I'm running it at 3.83GHz & 1.38V (high, I know--I'm shooting for 4GHz with this voltage) and temperatures are 54c on the hottest core and 48c on the coldest. Awesome

W/C GPU but not CPU? You've done it the other way round to everyone else, ha.

Plans to get a CPU block?

New tubing, some cleaning and it would be good as new.

some cleaning would go a long way and pulling the tubes off and cleaning them would help too if you didn't get new.

What are we using as coolant these days? That is just straight distilled water and has been in there for a long time so not surprised it is a bit on the green side.

Nope.... The black ones are black but the others are supposed to be clear. I guess if you neglect to change the water in your loop for a long time this happens......

It's great to see someone else running an X58 setup
Even for four years old, they're still wicked powerful

I figured as much. That's why I ran dexcool in mine. No discoloration after ignoring it for two years.

I myself used distilled water with a little of the swiftech coolant to help stop the things from growing in it or the petra's stuff(can't remember the name) i got out of water cooling a while ago, closest thing i have is a h50 on a c2d based pentium

My X58 is just a cruncher, but yes, it's still very solid. With a SSD, a modern GPU, and more than 2GB of RAM, it could run nearly anything
