Getting ready to go custom liquid loop. Waiting on hardware to build my first liquid loop on my new DFI X58 JR build.


Here is before photo of new RIG. The Case is SilverStone Raven (RV-02)

H50 is sitting on top with a Scythe Kaze 120mmx38mm pulling air out of the top of the case. H50 radiator has a "ghetto Shroud" gutted 120x25mm fan housing.


Last days for my H50. :cry:

Nice case :D am I going blind or are there no memory sticks in your rig :roll: I have my power supply pull air out of the case. I tried the way you have yours mounted temps went down the way I have it mounted. I guess it wont make a difference since you are going to build a loop.

I have 3x2GB G. Skill DDR3 PI 1.5v in there. Hiding in the shadows.

I'd like the coolest air possible hitting the PSU. I think getting the air from outside is a good way to go for cool air to PSU. May not matter much. I may end up spinning my PSU around if needed.

Hey guys, i bought a used h50 off another member for $50 shipped. It's coming with a ultra kaze 2000rpm fan, and a medium speed yate loon. Would it be okay to run both of these fans on the rad at once? I know they are both different speed's and one is a 38mm and one is not.

Im planning on having the h50 setup in a rear intake in my lexa s and having the two top fan's exhaust. Would i be best to put the ultra kaze as the push fan and the yate as a pull? Or would it be best to just run the ultra kaze alone as a push?

Oh and also i was just thinking that maybe i would be best as having it as a rear exhaust since my two 8800gts's will be exhausting all hot air and most likely the h50 would suck that hot air in. I am a folder so my gpu's run at 100% load constantly.

Oh and BTW, i asked this question over at OCN twice and didn't receive any reponse and all kinds of member have posted since i asked, this is another reason i feel like switching my folding points over to TPU :D

Put the higher CFM on the case side and the lower on the motherboard side. Have them bringing air from the outside in and the two top fans exhausting. also get some MX-2 paste for great results

So run the ultra kaze pushing air in from the outisde and have the yate pulling?

Also do you think that would be a issue with my two 8800gts's exhausting hot air and the ultra kaze pulling that air in?

Replace the TIM on the 8800GTS's with Mx-2 and change the fan profiles to about 50% or 100% depending on how loud they are.

So I bought this H70, and shook it.. and it sounded like the water is not filled tight.. Its like hearing a bottle not filled completely.. like some bubbles still inside. Is this normal?

One question, what the rotation of h50 of you say the pump. Here is 1400 more or less. Is this normal? This connected the 4pin cpu in the motherboard.

Your rig looks sweet man! I think its normal for the pump speed to fluctuate a little bit like yours is.

Also are you running win 7? How do you get your taskbar not to just show icons? I've been wanting to get my 7 to look like yours.

Got an H50 myself. Will post pics when I get back from work.

I have a question though. I have the radiator attached to the back of my Antec 1200 with a Yate Loon on either side of the radiator. However, mine's set up so:

Fan #1 pulls air from inside case and throws it into the radiator --> Air pushed by fan #1 moves through the radiator --> Fan #2 pulls this air and pushes it out of the back of the chassis.

A lot of people, it seems, have done the reverse so that ultimately, after cooling the radiator, the air is thrown into the case. Is this a more efficient way to do it?

I have 3 x 120 mm fans in the front of my chassis pulling air in, a 200mm fan at the top pushing out, and a 120mm on the side panel pushing out.

I just got a h50 myself too yesterday!

I setup mine like this, pushing cool air in from out the back and my second fan pulling the air through the rad. I have 2 exhaust fans up top exhausting also. Here's a few pics of my setup :)
