This is simply the same system as before, but, with watercooling on all the parts. Nothing big, but I thought I would share :-)
 
Nice looking rig, but could use a bit of dusting.

How do you like that combination CPU waterblock/pump? Seems like a pretty nifty idea to clean things up a bit.
 
no phase ??we want phase !!! why you didnt use apogee gtx or gt ?

Well, it's the daily driver. Since the QX6850 is old school, it was time to move it down the food chain. I am waiting on the next build a bit. I have 2 of the black Stackers. The phase system is complete, with case, PSU, etc. Just waiting to update the CPU and video cards. Right now, I wanted it cool and quiet.

Well, back to phase. I sealed it up with insulating foam, etc to silence it up. The loudest thing on the system is the chipset fan. Nothing like a -24C processor under load :-)
