Installed extra Black Ice® GT Stealth 120 XFlow Radiator as the 2-pass Dual 80mm Radiator was not coping alone with the heat output of the two 8800 GTS's. Loop currently arranged Pump+Res -> GPU 1 -> GPU 2 -> Dual 80mm Rad -> 120 XFlow Rad. The GPU 2 cops an extra 13'C rise as it is in series with GPU 1. Waiting on parts and will re-arrange loop to consist of Pump+Res -> GPU 1 -> Dual 80mm Rad -> GPU 2 -> 120 XFlow Rad to see if any benefit.

Nice one mate, I've been waiting to see someone with a Coolit Freezone hybrid TEC/water cooling unit. So what's your opinion of it so far? Was it worth the amount you paid?
by: ZalmannWell I've had the Freezone approx. 7 months and haven't looked back. Was it worth the money? By the time you set up a decent watercooling system it will be the same price if not more without the sub ambient results. I thought the thermo control module had buggered up, contacted Coolit and they sent a replacement for free no questions asked, then discovered one of the resistors was shorting out on the case. I now have two perfectly good controllers! :)

Sweet setup
Very nice setup. I give it a 9.
A great assembly. Almost looks surgically clean. You have me seriously considering breaking down my water in favor of TEC. I build some pretty flashy systems because thats what most customers ask for, but nothing is classier than the look of clean shiny steel. Very nice mate!
9/10. No computer is perfect, but yours sure comes close.

very nice system and case, put it together well id give you 8/10
For the CoolIT Freezone, do you have to use the included fan? I read that it was a 92mm. Can you use a 120mm?
This is an almost perfect machine. I'm so getting the Stacker for my next setup. 9/10 from me.

by: 0V3CHKiNYou can purchase a 92mm-120mm adapter and mount a 120mm fan but I have chosen to stick with the stock 92mm fan. Check out HeavyH20's rig with an adapter installed.

Nice build, but you should have put some GTX's in there :)
nice set up, very powerful. gtx's would've been better, but the two gts are the same as one gtx, so i can see why you got gts's. very nice 9 out of 10.
