I just noticed your rear fan is pulling air in while your cpu fan is trying to exhaust out the back. Your temps might improve if you simply flip the rear fan to exhaust as well.

Good one the 5970... My case can't handle one or I'd get one

Now, since you say "tuesday" for the card, you going to do wire/cable management in the mean time?

PP Mguire · Jan 31, 2010, 01:08 PM

That water block is super sexy =)

brandonwh64 · Jan 31, 2010, 01:09 PM

PP - You talking about his AM2 water block?

PP Mguire · Jan 31, 2010, 01:18 PM

No im talking about that nickel EK he posted earlier.

Lol HKs arent that pretty imo.

computertechy · Jan 31, 2010, 01:36 PM

@ cold storm, yea mate doing some cable management and cleaning my loops out, the cpu one is done and im gonna start doing the gpu loop tonight, and finish on tuesday

@ pp

i have to agree, they are not the best looking blocks but it was either the HK or the koolance one, HK is better looking tbh. its hard to get performance plus good looking when it comes to watercooling anyway

Better shot of the uv blue tubing the uv green fluid

PP Mguire · Jan 31, 2010, 01:44 PM

Performance > looks when it comes to water. What the HK lacks in looks it makes up for in pure performance. Its to bad i was never able to afford one during my short period of WC.

Hes putting a little devil on your shoulders, whispering "GET A GOOD LOOP!!!!!"

PP Mguire · Jan 31, 2010, 01:51 PM

When i can afford it or afford the possible needing to replace parts then yes ill go back. I really dont like 50lbs putting pressure on my board.

The last loop i had was fairly decent. I only needed some quick disconnects to make it solid but it was also what killed my 3rd and last 280. Hopefully though with my last trade my performance will be almost on par with what i had.

brandonwh64 · Jan 31, 2010, 01:54 PM

What do you mean by "I really dont like 50lbs putting pressure on my board"...?

i would rather have a waterblock pulling my board than a massive IHS, watercooling is very safe, if u have the time to invest in it. since i have been WC'ing i only do 1 hour leak tests and have never had a leak.

Yea i hear ya. Hence the reason i said i want to be able to afford it. Go all out with the proper fittings, Tygon tubing, full copper rads, quick disconnects, ect.

I think on my previous loop if i had 4 disconnects i woulda been happy cause i disassemble my pc all the time for various reasons. I had so many problems cause the loop was always in my way with the way i had it.

i have never liked quick connects, all my loop's pull out the case anyway

thats the advantage of a insanely huge pc case

PP Mguire · Jan 31, 2010, 02:18 PM

The Antec 1200 is pretty large compared to most cases id say. I had a 120.2 rad inside the drive bay with 4 extra slots left for a dual bay pump/res and 2 hard drives on the bottom.

computertechy · Jan 31, 2010, 02:37 PM

Wow thanks for telling my that. my server needs an upgrade and i already have 2 4870's with waterblocks and a 120.2, just need a pump, res, cpu block, pipe and a new case, the antec 1200 it is then.
