Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Well, my case is here and everything is as is!
Running my CPU at 3.8 GHz on 1.225 volts. Load goes to about 67 degrees.
That case mod is insanely brilliant! Looks like a PC Iron Man should use.

Hey there ryanrich
pardon my ignorance if you stated it somewhere in your post, but what are you using to cool your system, i am looking for something similar, and also where did you buy it and how much green did you part with?

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
I think I mentioned what I have in drips and drabs over the past few pages so no worries...
I have the following currently set up:
Jingway 600L/hour pump
Black Ice Extreme Radiator
Danger Den Bay Reservoir (added a blue LED behind it)
Swiftech Apogee XT CPU Block
Danger Den Satin Copper GTX 480 Block
Tygon 1/2" ID Tubing
Feser One Blue UV Coolant
Various fans, barbs and clamps
Total cost was about R5K (excl import duties). I bought everything from Danger Den (www.dangerden.com) except for the CPU block which I got from Landmark locally (www.landmarkpc.co.za).
It can be done for cheaper though. Have a look here, where B@rNeY is busy assembling a nice system as well...

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Hi there ryanrich
first off, thanks for the response with all the details in it, that really helps me a lot. I am definitley going to look into it, as soon as my budget allows for it, as it was spent on my new goodies.
correct if i am wrong, but from what i can see, is everything cooled in one loop there, or is each one on its own loop. If that is the case (no pun intended), i am definitley going to do what you have done.
Thanks again for your help with this.

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Ryan, you OCing your card? What temps do your CPU and GPU run under load?
Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
No problem! CPU and GPU are both on one loop.
Yup, card and CPU running at the overclocked speeds in my sig. Both max out around mid to low 60's under load at the clocked settings. Not bad for a single radiator and single 120mm fan...

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Hi guys, as you read I decided to upgrade my current setup to a i7 2600 Sandy Bridge (NO NORTHBRIDGE!!)-- read below...
I can give you some stats on the H50 though...
IDLE (my PC is OC'ed Q8300@ 3.75Ghz from 2.5) it runs at 32*
ON LOAD (Gaming, ORTHOS,Prime95) it comes in at just over 52* and STAYS THERE.
My big drawback however is that my Northbridge is statically cooled, and this means the inside of my case is a nice and hot 52* as well !
I (presume) this is detrimental to my cooling performance - but not too much according to some of the forum posts I have read on overclockers forums, have put a fan on there - but being a olde(r) board the Speedfan app cannot control this little 40mm ... and its running at 5500RPM all the time.. noisy as HELL !
Over all I am happy.. and will post up some more results when I have the i7

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
I see there is a H60 now. Can anyone tell me what the differences are between the 50, 60 and 70?

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
From the reviews I looked at this morning, performance of the H50 and H70 is pretty much the same as any high-end air cooler, so wouldn't be worth the extra cost for me to sell my Venomous X and get one.

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
You mean a WC kit that's closed? 'Cause they already have the Aquagate Max. Which looks awesome, but not everyone seems to think it is.

XSPC Rasa 750 RX240 WaterCooling Kit
http://www.watercoolingshop.co.uk/XSPC- ... ASLZF.aspx
Any idea if its good...? Friends of ours is returning from the UK in August (works for Maersk shipping), he's willing to bring it through customs if I will just pay the extra costs... Running a H70 at the moment, but it limits where I can push my i7-950.. I'm liking the idea of a complete kit so I don't have to try figure out inside / outside diameters etc.
Case will work perfectly for it (HAF 922)...

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
I know the 750 RS360 got very good reviews (see link), so I would imagine the 240 is also a good kit. I'm going to get the Corsair H100 when it comes out as it has a 240mm radiator.

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
So I'm waiting for my H100 to arrive, hopefully that'll be before the end of August. What do you guys think?

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Okay, so my H100 finally arrived! Running my 930 @ 4 GHz @ 1.27v, going to run Prime overnight to check the stability. Max load temps ranges between 69 and 72.

Re: Watercooling Setups - Advice and pics here
Okay, got my 930 up to 4.2 GHz! It's running at 1.35 volts, also had to up my PLL, IOH and ICH volts slightly to get it stable, but it seems to be running fine now. Today is a slightly warm and humid day, so load under Prime95 is up to 81 - 83, but normally it's between 77 and 79, which I think is great! What an awesome cooler...
