Water Cooled cpu took fover to get the right pump but now its all good (its a pump used for aqurium filteration but I removed the filters and I bought it at petco its expensive though this is the brand name Penn Plax Cascade Canister Filters). Oc'ed my cpu to 2.8 run stable. At stock cpu settings System temps are 23c to 24c idle with water cooling and without water cooling it used to be 30c idle.

hmz intresting, 6/10 from me !
 
Very enteresting. Cabling doesn't obstruct airflow, H2O set-up is one of a kind. 8/10 for me

Thanks, anyway the water cooling took me like 5months to get it just right I went through 2pumps and this one worked the best. Also cabling was very bad so I cleaned my pc with my air compresor and finnaly got to work on the cabling and the fact that a like a clean case
 
LOL zach it looks nice. Very custom job there, i gave u a 8
 
Awesome work guy. Love it.
 
Watch out! Are those white cable ties for securing the hoses? That's terrible. You need jubilee clips. The cable ties are not strong enough to ensure unpullable connections! Fix it fast before a disaster! 1/10 before 7/10 after fix.

Your talking about the zip ties right because there just as thight as any clamp and they have been on there forever and never leaked yet plus metal clamps are to big to put on my cpu water block. What would you recomend send me a link ok.

The zip ties are useless. Their exertion pressure (clamping pressure) is not much > zero. Metal clips are ok... just get size "000"

Hey Zach why aren't you using that big 19in monitor you got lying on the floor?
 
One of a kind setup you have there m8...
Just like Completely Bonkers said to use metal clamps will work much better than cable ties.
I gave you 8/10 for presentation.
Good luck with the water cooling....
 
Interesting concept, looks like alot of time and effort spent, good job.:)
 
Good effort, I would get rid of the cable ties on block and turn it 90* you will have trapped air in the block @ the top, thus giving not the best cooling ;)
 
quiet unusual but it's ok!
7/10
