NP it was my first attempt. I am really proud of it. I need to get some of that feser fluid. Does it foam at all?

mine does not, only a first a bit when you start it up but thats it, none after that. and I mean the first time you ever start it up, not everytime.

Straight distilled water is the way to go, just as fit says. Just keep your rig out of the window and you shouldn't have to worry about algea. I've never had any kind of algea issues with my loops, and every loop I've done (exceopt the first) was straight distilled.

That is true, if you want color there are tons of dyes that you can add to the loop that give it nice color and have very minimal side effects.

Distilled water is the way to go. However, for a bit of security, I use PT Nuke. It's a few bucks, and lasts forever.

I'd use that stuff but I make colloidal silver in my basement. :laugh: It's not hard to do if you fancy making electrodes and buying 99.999% pure silver.

That thing looks awefully familiar!
 
hey fit so what made you buy that board? What are the advantages of it, or did you just want to try a new board?

I want to believe that, but I don't ;) I hope you prove me wrong.
 
ECS :eek: I can only beleive they are much better now than their bargain basement boards used to be, in the UK they used to be known as ECS..... "Extremely Crap Systems"
 
The last (and only) ECS board I bought was 2 1/2 years ago. The KA3-MVP. It was the worst board I ever owned. The BIOS was absolutely terrible.
 
I've read that the ECS is actually quite good
 
Pretty nice for a budget board! You reckon you can do this with lower volts too?
 
im doing 3d tests so i need a bit higher volts atm

hats off to ECS.

and a big FU to all you doubters.

:toast:
 
Heheh seriously, this should prove the point that X58 = X58.

Imho, it's just about features and price range for this chipset. Which does make sense now that the memory controller is integrated into the CPU and all.
Once again, I have to say the i7 platform is a surprisingly different platform altogether.
 
All I can see is that it works ;) Nothing special here. Not like the Crucial ram.
