Performed Mods:
This build was meant to be simple and functional. Nothing really flashy, just a water cooled rig with a functional and cleanly designed layout.
The hardest part of this build was cable management and keeping everything themed correctly. Overall, I am very happy with this build. It came out almost exactly like I had imagined. Before I bought any parts I sketched up everything in Google SketchUp to give me a general idea of what was capable. After research and hours of work, i5_alive is complete and running very well.

Post your commentClean build,, Is your flow going from one rad to another then into the mosfet.
by: steelkaneYep. I wanted to keep the tubing routing as clean as possible. I did a bunch of research and it has basically no effect on temps no matter how things are routed. The only thing that really matters is the location of the reservoir and pump. As long as those two components are orderd correctly, temps will be the same no matter what.

I am a big fan of the Tempest and I have been following your log. The amount of thought you put in the i5 build is awesome. 10/10 from me bro, it looks great and I'm sure will run flawlessly!
by: t77snapshotWow thanks t77! You are making my weekend with that rating!

Nice job man, looks sweet.
I like your build,, You did a nice job on it,, I'm not here to put your build down,, Because I do think it's a nice RIG, But shame on the person that told you the flow don't matter,, 8/10
by: steelkaneNo no steel, not flow, the orientation. Example; if I did CPU before the MOSFETs, the temperature difference would at most be about 1C. Thats what I'm talking about. 8/10 is great! :D

Simply eye catching .. very neat! 9 for me! :)
Sweet! I get better temperatures with a Corsair H50. BTW, my i5 750 is OC'd at 4.1ghz using 1.36V.

Very nice! Keep in mind, I'm cooling the CPU, vid card, MOSFETs and the SB. :D

holy shit, how the hell can they take about 70$ for a 24 pin sleeved?
i would take the nzxt 24pin instaed, think they are pretty nice imo

by: (FIH) The DonI'll see how much they are shipped and everything, think they will be much cheaper regardless.

i dont think caseking cost that much in shipping, maybe you should find some other guys in the us to save some money on the shipping?
and sorry for OT #0

by: (FIH) The DonI'll see, I haven't found any in my previous searches. I'll consider the NZXT ones.

Got it off Amazon ckn, just search "24 pin extension". Luckily mine came in black so I replaced the opaque female end with a black one to give it the all black look. I didn't feel the need to sleeve it since it was all black, looks great. :D
this build is so clean and pretty! i love the tubes
Thanks Johnny. I actually ended up ordering the NZXT premium cables. I'm on the phone so if you can google them and check them out :toast:
by: Chicken PattyI've got a bunch of their cables coming for review, I'm pretty stoked. :D

That's cool :toast: I'm interested in seeing the quality of these cables. They are pretty cheap I. Price.
I like it! 8/10
Swiftech Apogee XT and rerouted tubing is getting me idles in the 30-32c area and load (linpack) in the 60-62c area. Thats what I'm talking about. :)
I like it! Nice rig very clean.... and I thought mine was clean.
While my rig is clean...... I think I have to go back to the drawing board :) Nice rig but way to make a guy feel inferior LOL

nice and neat cool tubing too 10/10
Great build. Smart move with the 24-pin extension! :D At first, I thought you sleeved it. Nevertheless, this doesn't look any worse.
