No temps yet just some crappy cell phone pics. I replaced the TIM with that IC Diamond stuff. So i dunno, stuff is really thick, and tacky. Anyway here are some pics.
 
First purging the bubbles. Good thing I got that PSU tester from Crazy PC's sale :)

Pump/Res

Res. Decided to velcro it to the side of the drive bay, works so far and saved me from drilling holes. May not last is the stickiness fades...Will be moving it soon enough though.

Overall shot. Need to use a real camera...

Gotta show the 570's some love right?

CPU waterblock. Phones flash blows so I appologize. I'm sure most of you know what this stuff looks like lol.

Pulled back a bit from above so...yeah.

Lil closer in overall, using phones flash.

The rad. Its in a push pull config the way I mounted it. The case itself has 2 230mm fans at the top so those are pulling while the 2 120mm's push. I don't know how well it's actually working nor do I know how to tell but for now that's good enough for me.

I dunno, more 570 love?
 
Anyway i'm not going to judge/give temps until tomorrow. I'm folding right now but will test it out later. Also I want this IC stuff to set.

    Good job. One other thing I'll suggest is get a 60mm fan and attach it to the vrm heatsink right next to the cpu. That sink needs some air blowing on it.
     
    Example pic with my Classified board. The fan fits right between the block lock down plate and you just need two screws in the bottom of the fan. It holds tight and isn't going anywhere.

    Look around and see if you have an old cpu heatsink like from the days of the AMD XP cpu. That's where I got mine from.

    No, most of that I lost during a bad moving situation. Smallest fan I have is from a netbooks CPU cooler. And it's small... Other than that only 3 molex connected 80mm's.

    Hmm...microcenters cheapest is like 9 bux (ridiculous), but If I click that link, I'll have to buy more than a fan.... must resist!!

    So, running this i7 950 at stock speeds i'm not really seeing much difference between this and air cooling. On air when I would leave it maxed out I would get about 57-60c. Anyway here's what Hwmon says

    YEah this is my first try at Water cooling. Could be an error on my part but how do I find out lol. As for what kit it's the Swiftek H20-220 Ultima kit (or something like that)

    Maybe you should put it up in the mods rigs section, or have a mod move it ;)

    I wish i didn't buy it lol, well not really. Also I don't like the color to be honest. I like blue, But that's what came in the kit so I'll live with it for now. gettin the VRM fan as well.
