I played the hell out of ut2k3 and 2k4 with mine. Actually still do from time to time. And I almost forgot, Alice.

Here's a desktop shot of mine.

Lotta times they do, seen a few occasions on which you get the same board back repaired. Could've been the slightest non sense as to why it wasn't posting.

Oh it wont be once all the PSU cables go in there!! It'll be a nightmare!! I'm not looking forward to putting 3 graphics cards in there!! I don't think it'll be any better when I get them water cooled either

Oh the blue tubing was because I wanted blue liquid, but the last time I used it it stained everything so I cheated a little
I've got drains on all the loops so its easy to drain it out and re fill should I need to

Thank you for the comment I do try

I should really put up a spec list for each rig, I'm very happy to finally have them all setup I'm looking at leak testing in a bit... Motherboard loop first

Thank you for the kind words

I'm just currently leak testing the motherboard loop.... I hope to be able to fire it up shortly!! I've just gotta do the CPU loop and see how that goes!!

I am looking forward to seeing it turn on!!

Oh... Well here's a spec list for each rig

759 System Specs

EVGA Classified 759 with Koolance water blocks
Intel i7 920 D0 @ 4.42Ghz with Heatkiller 3 CPU block
G Skill Patriot 6Gb 2000Mhz @ 842Mhz Cas 8-8-8-18-59 2T
2 x EVGA 3Gb 580GTX's @ stock clock speeds
Adaptec 5405
WD Velcoraptor 150Gb SATA drive
Samsung F3 1.5Tb SATA drive
2 x IBM 73Gb 15k SAS drives
Samsung DVD-RW SATA drive
Sunbeamtech fan controller
2 x Quad Thermochill Rads with 4 Scythe Kraze 3000 fans on each rad
1 x EK Triple Rad with 3 Yate Loon fans
3 x Swiftec MCP355 pumps with XSPC res

762 System Specs

EVGA Classified 762 with EK full water block
Intel i7 920 D0 with EK Supreme CPU block
G Skill Perfect Skill 6Gb 2133Mhz
EVGA 3Gb 580GTX @ stock clock speeds
Asus D2X sound card
Adaptec 5805
WD Velcoraptor 150Gb SATA drive
Samsung F3 1.5Tb SATA drive
8 x Seagate Cheetah 15k.5 73Gb 15k SAS drives
Pioneer DVD-RW SATA drive
Sunbeamtech fan controller
2 x Quad Thermochill Rads with 4 Scythe Kraze 3000 fans on each rad
1 x EK Triple Rad with 3 Yate Loon fans
3 x Swiftec MCP355 pumps with XSPC res

Each loop has just one component to cool. The triple rad is for the motherboard on both rigs. Both of the quad rads are for the CPU and GPU. Both separate loops. I just hope that the quad rads will be enough for the 580's whether its 2 or 3 of them For the 762 build I hope to put 3 cards in there at some point..

I think it's pretty safe to say you'll have a minimum ^T, you'll prolly be close to ambient on all component's A trpple rad can disspate about 400w and a quad can handle in excess of 600w IIRC

Will it depend on what fans are used with how fast they spin etc?

I hope it'll be enough. I'm hanging out on newer GPU's I think These 580's are awesome but I might need something, a little more powerful me thinks

I'll do some more tests when I get time I'll see if I can post up some results for you

Of course fan's make a difference, i was just recalling #'s from the depth's of my memmory bank's Those #'s would be with correct fan's. The Ultra Kaze's are a decent fan, especially at their price point, definately use them with a controller (which you have so ya)

If you update your GFX situation you may have lower temp's seeing as the efficiency level has gone up with the die shrink, for ATi anyways, Nvidia still yet to release so it's all speculation on that side but they should see an increase as well

Well I've been trying to get the 762 board to boot but i have had a few errors.. 7F and now FF and I've swapped out ram and CPU and both work fine in my 759 board.. its gone 1am so I'm off to bed as im up for work at just arse 5am so I'll have another look tomorrow after work

With regards to the GPU, I can't wait to see what NVidia brings to the next round, these new ATI cards are very good and that power saving trick they do is unreal... I can't wait to find out

@Phill- don't let it get you too frustrated. Take a step back and take a little break... mistakes get made when your stressed, tired, and pressed for time. A new perspective is always gained with a fresh look

I spent many years wrenching cars and found this approach to be the most effective at preserving the equipment I'm working on/with as well as preserving my sanity

Here's a cpu-z shot of my nf7-s system. Can anyone spot the cpu-z fail? It's easy to spot and it is the reason it won't validate my setup.

You be correct. That is one fast ass athlon xp-m, 4410 mhz blazing. It should be 200 x 11 not 400 x 11. And check out that dual channel setup. I have both of the Nforce 2 boards I have running setup that way and running in dual channel. 1x 1gb and 2 x 512 mb.
