No, no, no! I like my Monsta 360 where it is now although putting it into an ice chest is a possibility.

OK, Just as long as you can....
                                                                                   

                                                                                    

LOL, the only thing stopping me now is worrying about condensation inside my case from the hoses. I never would have thought of that idea. Only you could come up with that one. I repeat, you're a bad infuence on me, Mister hallowen. Shame on you for preying on naive gullible newbs like myself. Personally, I would rather have a setup like yours which is built for fun and excitement but I needed something that looked like it was done by someone in a professional shop. I don't know if I accomplished that part but it is neat and presentable while keeping everything cool and stable for me.

You could use a chiller like this one (maybe place it on the floor below your Rig) and control the temperature to just above the dew point to prevent condensation on the components and lines.
 

Heck, I'm already walking around my kitchen trying to figure out how far I can go already. I have another D5 pump top for added flow if needed. I would need to pump coolant about 4 ft vertical from the floor. IDK if a single D5 will handle that. That 'chiller' looks interesting but IDK if my apartment's current wiring could handle the extra load. The whole apartment is on a single breaker. The cost is out of my reach also plus the noise would drive me nuts.

I can understand the initial cost of a pre-made chiller can be anywhere from a few hundred $$$ and up, But Those 1/10 - 1/5HP Aquarium chillers are very quiet and only pull an additional 1/2 - 1.0 amp at 120VAC.
 
Radiator-in-an-water/ice-bucket (No Fans) would be the cheapest/quickest way to see how low you could get your temps.

My video boards are only 7° above ambient after playing Fallout 4 for a while. They rarely go over 45° anyway. I think the biggest improvement came from that huge reservoir I put in there. It holds a lot more coolant. Several places had that res for the same price but I decided to give ModMyMods a chance since they're right up the road a piece in NY. Delivery and packaging were good. I took the invitation to be the first to review the product and I took my time and wrote a favorable review for the most part. The only drawback was having to cut away two tabs separating the drive bays. I took my time and did a thorough job writing it but it never got posted. Because of that I doubt I will be spending any more money at ModMyMods in the future. It might be nitpicking but when you spend that much time promoting one of their products you expect it to get posted.

Yeah, Sometimes nobody cares about the Mods you have to make to products that don't-quite-fit no matter what the costs.
45C under load is very good temps and like you stated that Large Alphacool reservoir probably helps a lot.

Well, I'm back to my normal of 20° above ambient after playing DOOM for an hour. Yep, that's my reservoir. I read a similar review at a different website as far as installation problems but it didn't mention specifics. After ModMyMods whined about how they were the same people that used to work for that mean man at FrozenCPU after he had his meltdown and promised the same customer service as before when they opened their own business I fell for it. All I asked for was a little respect after I wrote that review and I got none. I can only speak with my wallet which isn't very big but I won't go back there for more parts.
