That's pretty amazing. What order have you got your loop? I can't quite make it out from the pic.

So i noticed jim , i looked at gonz0s sale thread and noticed the pa120.3 was up and was like.... NABBING!!! and then saw it was sold to you and died a little inside .

If you're building into a case with rad fitting space already then you wouldn't want it, it's the old fan spacing. Of course, since I'm modding a cheap tower I don't really care what spacing the fans are as long as the rad fits (which it only just does, incidentally: I think I've got less than 2cm total clearance front to back ). I'm pretty busy this week but I'll try to get a build thread started before too long (that said, I'm also broke for a month or two and still need a pump, and maybe a res... oh, and fittings. and tubes. And free time. etc. etc. etc.).

oh its the older one? The HA120.3 series then, not the pa or did i skip a change in design?. Im broke too, will be modding my case once again to fit this rad in somehow, i am thinking of just stripping the paint off because its all been scratched/peeled away so may just sand it down to have a brushed steel affect and somehow fit a black radiator in it xD.

its the original pa120.3 with 25mm spacings, and the loops are as follows.

pump, cpu, chipset (single block for nb/sb) mofset x2 rad and back to the pump.

vga loops pump, rad, card 1, card 2

i may tinker with it later on and put the chipset/mofsets on the vga loop, we will see !

final parts have arrived so i can link the 480's together now and get it up and pumping


this time i brought the GTX's and the koolance kit to kool them, the rest of the rig was already there.

GTX480's are sat at 28 degrees c idle, and with the msi kombustor running they go up to a whopping 35 degrees, pumps at 8v and fans are running at 10%

Great temps there - and somewhat quieter than on air, no?

[GoNz0]

oh m8 i hated having them in the case with the stock coolers, i have the fans to the pa 140.3 turned off to see how long it takes to get the water temp to 40 degrees !

5 mins and 29 degrees so far

Cool build! (Pun fully intended )
You could probably run the WC loop passive when you're not gaming or something if those temps stay stable!
