Ok, well its been a long while since i have messed with this thing, its back up and running after 8 months of not being turned on...I love the navy...Its still running great, it actually leaked some when i turned it back on, but caused no harm and is fixed...Just got a new case and radiator, and should have the new setup on here soon!

Nice job on the H2O set-up! What are the temps like?

Has a slight "Mad Max" look to it.
Nice!

Is that a CM690 case?

And would you mind running through the flow layout of your loop? I'm intrigued by the setup.

Is it just me or do I start trends? :p.

I make a "silent PC"

Next thing you know another few people start posting "silent PCs".

Anyway, excellent build. And yes that is an RC690. Too bad how the side panels mate ruined some of your good paint job. err... 8/10

Loop-resevior>pump>2x120 rad>1x120 rad>cpu>NB>gpu1>gpu2>back to res...

Nothing in this loop sees 50c under load now which is awesome cuz those 2 2900's used to get up to 75c under load.

@tkpenalty-Heh, yea those panels have no love for the paint...Oh well. And I'll tell you what with those 2 2900's silence is absolute golden, these things were sooooo loud.

Thanks for the comments guys

9/10!

Good paintjob, nice lights, nice curve jobs with the hose, clever job with the T on the bottom, wicked job with the 690's top. hehe.

Ever thought of letting it pass on the 1x 120 rad first before the vidcards?

I really like the work you did here. I think it looks great! And I do think you should go to a 220 and 320 radiator for it, as an alternative method, you could plumb it up like mine. (i have a 320 & 220, all external). I wanted to get the stacker 830 myself, but I found the size and ease of the gigabyte case to be great! I just finished this rig over the weekend, so I am taking pics this week to post up in the case gallery, just have to clean up all her wiring first!

Yea, actually when i get done being so lazy, I will go ahead and try this route just to see if there is any difference, it's just been running so nice now I haven't gotten around to it. I'll post some pics with any temperature changes here soon.

also, Im worried with the CPU > NB hose.. is that a kink? it might be building up pressure

Yes there was a kink forming, had to open the res top and relieve it, and put a small piece around the hose to keep it from kinking...needa figure out what is causing this small pressure buildup
