When i was using my watercooling loop I managed to change most components without draining the system. That included the GPU.
Those are good tempsJust a little update. I have now overclocked my card to 688/945 and my cpu to 3.1 the temps are GPU idle 38 load 49 CPU idle 27 load 35. The best bit is when the load is off the temps drop almost immediately and that is without the single rads fan turned up and the low noise is great. I was always a bit sceptical of water but if thats the temps I can get with a £100 kit straight out of the box there is no way I will be going back to air any time soon. Onwards and upwards.What voltage to the cpu?
You owe it to yourself to click here really.
Stock voltage but I am going to up it and clock a bit further this week sometime. I will run it as is for a couple of days to make sure it is all running smoothly. I think the two rads might be a bit of an overkill. Just in case you dont which kit its this one.Those are good temps

OK, well a good test of how good it is a heat dissipation will be to feed the cpu some volts

Yes I will definately be testing itOK, well a good test of how good it is a heat dissipation will be to feed the cpu some volts
Heres a couple of pics. Constructive criticism welcome.
Bit more tidying of the cables yet.
Yes
Looks good, but I'm not sure about all those tubes hanging out of the back

Thanks Clunk. The cable tidying will be done slowly as I stare at it over coming days when that eureka feeling hits me. I was like a kid again and just wanted it up and running. The tubing is supposed to be like that as where its home is there will be a black aluminium plate which is attached to the wall vertically and meets the back of the case so it is all hidden but still with plenty of circulation.
could you not put the hard drives in the 5.25" section, then remove the drive cage?
Nop as the drive cage is riveted in (got the same case), however if you were feeling upto the job you could mount the twin rad on the back and dremel the holes out for the barbs, oh and you should be able to run all the cables behind the drive cages as theres plenty of holes to pass the cables through even the 24-pin atx cable, Ill post some pictures if you want for inspiration
That was my first thought as well until I discovered they were rivetted in as daza says. I have a dvd rom/cd burner in one,a dvd burner in a second and a digital fan controller is going in a third so that leaves me two for a couple of caddies which I may do later. Or I may just buy a bigger drive and partition it and just use one drive leaving the drive cage for the pump and tank. I like drives as they are at the moment. One with vista,one with xp and a 400gb for storage. My missus has put her foot down and I have to curb my spending on the rig for a bitso I will live with it for a while.
Good idea daza a couple of pics would be nice.
Right all done the first picture shows what i was talking about earlier, mounting the rad on the back but facing inwards make it look so much neater. The second pic shows the sata cables as there stiff I had to get imaginative with them, 3rd & 4th show where you could route the cables as there plenty of space back there 5th shows where most off them come out not very tidy but you never see it in everyday use, 6th shows where the atx cable and pci-e cables come out after going down the back in pic 4, and pic 7 shows how it looks to everyone else.

Hope they give you some ideas.
Daza thanks for the pics,its nice to be able to see what you mean,you are a genius my double rad will fit nicely set up like that. I will run my cable along those lines as well. The dremelling willl have to wait a bit though as I want to OC a bit and depending on temps see if I can take the single rad out of the loop.
Clunk I have upped the core to 1.375v and ram at 2.2v clock up to 400x8 but not had a chance to OC it anymore or test stability at the moment so downclocked it again. Tomorrow sometime. My problem being with all my childish exicitement(at 48) I have a couple of rigs sitting in my hall waiting to be repaired and they pay for my hobby so I must get them done before the wife and customers gets the hump. Thanks for taking the time to help it is appreciated. Any other suggestions are most welcome.
Edit
big crash running before I can walk
slowly slowly I think

..i know this is slightly off subject, sih, but about the alarm you got, insead of sticking a fan in to stop it, jus go into the bios, on the hardware monitoring bit and disable the fanspeed monitor for the cpu fan.
Thats what I did but I had to stick a fan on it to get it to boot so I could get into the bios to change it. When the alarm goes of it shuts down for safety.
oh ryt, fair doos then
