» cheap 'syscooling' water cooling
» lapped cpu and blocks
» twin PSU's (overclock was dropping the voltage)
Performed Mods:
the really cheap syscooling water cooling i got from ebay is great (the pumps not the best though so i have a thermaltake instead) but the blocks REALLY need lapping and DON'T over tighten the studs on the reservoir as they will expand when the system heats up and crack the mounts (i did this but i am getting a new tank for free they are very helpful, but i did manage to fix the leak with silicone sealant)
i also used a coolmaster eXtreme Power 550W supply DO NOT USE THESE the fan got noisy after 3 months and its just not a good steady voltage anywhere (getting 11.19V on 12V)

Post your commentmy lash together till i get a better case and power supply.. just a big mess as a bit of a joke
dude.. hope to see you get a better case and nice cable mgnt first, then I'll vote for you.. btw. ur hardware is really a nice one.. what's your system temp with all that mess? keep it coming..
by: legends84yeah im getting an antec 1200 and a 1000W power supply (this case was $90AUS with a power supply, but i replaced it with a coolmaster eXtreme power 550W and its CRAP DO NOT USE THESE the bearing in the fan went after about 3 months (some oil on the bearing has fixed that though) and the 12+ is more like 11.19V at load and i cant even get the cpu volts to what the bios says (its set to 1.47 now and i have 1.36 on load and 1.43 at idle yes the MB is prolly more at fault but not with the 12V))

as for the cable mgnt it was ok till i added the second psu lol
this is more of a joke than anything.
as for the temp cpu is 51°C at the core while running prime95 and the gpu is about 52°C after 10mins with firmark burnmode
you know your cards running at pci-e 2.0 @ x1
by: DOMLOL about this...Yeah look GPUZ!!!1x!!!It would be an 8600 not a 8800 that way...;)

As for the 2nd PSU try to fit it under the VGA like in the bottom of the case.I ve done it once and it fitted and u ll route the power cord through one expansion slot...
And then cut the cables from the 2nd psu keeping only the ones u use and from the 24pin only the green wire and a ground...U ll be able to close your case then;)

LOVE the Title!
are you using a non conductive water cooling fluid ? if not I highly recommend it.

Wow, all those wires. Be sure to post it again when you're done with it. What's up with that black sys fan in the middle of yr case?
by: polo360xcheap engine coolant ;) i just made sure i did a good test of the system before installing

by: theorwnah the pump would be in the way of that position and the pump is also to wide for this case.. so its side off till the new case

by: mangoSiwell as the side is missing it gets no air flow across the memory etc so i have the fan there temporary lol like the rest of the lash-up
