Awesome thanks


I sent you a PM with the customs form.  Your the first person to get it, so  let me know how it goes.  You should just need thermal paste for the chipset, and 1mm thermal tape for the Vregs. (both the chips, and the coils)

Will do :)
 
here are some pics of the in-progress, need to finish some lighting then starting on the hard tubing that I can do without the blocks (there will be 2 2x120 rads in the final build)

And fruits of the weekends labor (need to do a little more as the green channel is acting up but gives an idea)

Got a gift from the block master himself today. Now to find time to install them and my new water pumps.

Stuid phone won't upload pics. So link for now and I'll fix it when I get to a PC. http://i140.photobucket.c...151830_zpstg3kfxyo.jpg



how is that double radiator burger working out for you? Do you see a decrease in temps as straight or curve performance?

You and me both.Just got to find time now. Thinking about changing the orientation of the loop while I'm at it.

I never tested it as a single rad or without it. It still cools the water, it's just not as efficient as having both rads in a place where they can draw in fresh air. I guess I could take one out of the loop when I put in the board blocks and new pumps and see what the difference is temp wise. That means I've also gotta find my little allen wrench that I cut down to fit in there. Hmm, wonder where I put that thing. I have thought about switching to a single Alphacool Monsta 280 rad up there just to clean things up a little bit. Also I think my CPU has a little more to offer but temp wise I get warmer than I like when the machine is in it's actual room. Some of that is due to the small size of the room and the ambient temps created by the CPU and 3 760's folding/crunching. And the rest I think is due to the Alphacool CPU block. I'd love to see nateman get back to his air cooled water block and see what it could do.

At least fit them on the board to see if I did ok.  Remember this was a straight from CAD to your hands.  No prototyping whatsoever.  You have the first one ever.
