At least as far under as I care to go. This took me 11 freaking hours!!! Those two small pieces coming from the CPU? 6 hours!!!! I could not for the life of me figure out what to do. Things were so close together! But, MOBO is under water and CPU and GPU's. Cooled by a 240 rad and a 360. The 240 is a swiftek I've had since I bought the kit, it's in push pull, the 360 is the new pretty blue rad I got a week ago.
It's thin enough to be top mounted in this case, but not thin enough for push pull. That is my only complaint about the case is that tiny amount of room up there. Also oddly enough the Radiators holes did not line up for that last fan that's on the bottom/inside. Was not going to "Fix it" as it's fine how it is...for now...I've been folding for a while now and temps are as follows....
 
 
ALSO a sidenote here. Thanks Zophar for the caps! They work perfectly, of course and I've seen no leaks :P Also thank you Muskie for the help with fittings. Ended up not needing one of the 45's so If I find no further use for it I'll give it back to you or someone else on here! Now I have a radiator to send to Escobar :P
 
Ambient = almost 80f....it's toasty in here....
 
CPU MAX: Core 0 54c
                Core 1 52c
                Core 2 55c
                Core 3 49c
Those are total maxed temps
 
CPU Idle: Core 0 24c
                Core 1 24c
                Core 2 33c
                Core 3 27c
 
GPU Max: GPU 0 42c
                GPU 0 41c
 
GPU IDLE: GPU 0 33c
                 GPU 1 30c
 
And since it's cooling off in here they are dropping. I know they could probably be better, but they could  be worse, so I'm happy.

    I'm guessing distilled, since it's clear in the CPU block.

    True. Agreed. The tubing looks brighter than most colored tubing. I like it!

    Yeah it's distilled, nothing more, silver kill coil in there somewhere. Tubing is Primochill Primoflex pro LRT  tubing 7/16ID - 5/8OD. Should dI add anything? I hear ppl put liquid soap in and whatnot?

    Sounds good! And does the pump make splashing noise, etc?

    I was the one who came up with the soap idea. My pump always made a splash sound, even without bubbles.
     
    Well I added two drops of dish soap into it, and it suddenly got dead quiet. All the foam broke down in about 8 hours, then it was set.

    Idk... Haha. Well I was washing my hands, and thought "Hey, soap makes things slick, and soft.", so I figured it would maybe "lube" the pump and blocks, so the water wouldn't sound so rough, and well it worked perfect. I've been doing that now for 5 months with no issues.

    Love it!  And I hear you on things being too close together!  I just finished putting my CPU under water the other day.  The outlet on my rad is just about 3 inches from the res.  Trying to get in there to make the fittings - well, fit - was physically and mentally painful!  Great job though.  I'm seeing similar temps on my rig - anywhere from 10 - 12 degrees cooler than when I was on an H70.
