Water cooling advice ...

only got corrosion on multi metal ... since my EK is acetal+nickel and cpu seem's to be copper based i think i made the right choise with the anti corrosion additive !

Probably, yes.

that top rad is not getting airflow across the entire face of the rad... this concerns me

yeah but inside there is a 2cm space betwen the plastic and rad, and with the cm sniper fan controller fan at maximum i get GPU and CPU load at 50C no more!
so it still does the job, and i don't have the proper tools to cut plastic i used a meat knife lol

humm ya but im a lazy ass father so ATM load temp is 50C , if i want to go lower i can replace the 200MM with high speed 2X120 fan! and then if not satisfied i can go and knife the top out but only if i required..


to tell you the truth i am waiting on stock for 200MM RADS so i can install 2 in my case , one at the bottom and one at the front, that will do the trick im shure

yeah now you are talking

wow seem's my system is really nice atm , i get temp 48C maximum CPU/GPU while playing rift for about 8 hours! with my cm sniper fan dial to max speed! still very silent!

since i changed the PSU for a antec tp-750 , all i can hear now is the pump because the CM Sniper is "tool less" mean that i can't screw the pump/reservoir , so i hear it vibrate! dammit LOL i want perfection! not half perferct !

now im wondering what could i do to fix the reservoir on some kind of bushing .. or i am gona go and buy a liang DDC pump i think its called , and its gona be screwed somewhere in the bottom near PSU ..

should i buy this pump or anybody as an idea on how to fix the reservoir in the front and solidifies it somehow?

thank you

what could i do to fix the reservoir

remove the tool-free plastic from where the screws go, then just use screws in the holes where the plastic used to be?

double sticky tape for the pump, works like a charm

the way the CM sniper is made on the 5 1/4 bay there is normaly 4 screw for lets say a cdrom drive, the sniper as a tool free device that use the top 2 hole, 1 left one right , and there is a space to ad a screw on the 2 bottom hole, left and right, the problem is that the reservoir as 2 hole BUT the hole are placed so that it use the top most hole, and the top hole from other bay. same thing on other side,

to fix this i would need to hole in the "bottom" part ....

what do you mean? double sticky tape around the reservoir?

Wow just found something hilarious in my quest for silence my wife left the PS3 open "its just beside my computer" and the PS3 IS SO LOUD! its like 2x louder then my computer running 50% fan speed. never noticed how "noisy" was the ps3 when my computer was on air cooling omg
just ad to say it because i am so happy

in the past if my pump made vibronoise I just used double sticky tape on the bottom to insulate it

Yup. Best solution.
