Well after about a month of shopping messing around and problems I finally have my whole WC setup running!

CPU Idle Temp


GPU Idle temp


GPU Load temp


Im pretty happy with the temps, they seem to be lower then alot of the temps I read about. I know the on board thermal probes differ from actual temps so if someone wants to translate the above temps for me that would be cool.


Bleeding the lines


Maze4 CPU block


Moment of truth, my comp still works after tearing it apart!!!


Side shot


The external box, having no shroud really circulates the are keeping it cold in the box, so my pump stays cool aswell as the rad and lines.





Tomorrow I need to run over and get a plug for my t-line, then I can actually close it all up.

Noise is a little higher then Id like, Ill try and do something about that in the coming weeks.

I know its out of the ordinary to go through the side but I dont have the tools to cut through thick steel, and yes my case has some really thick sturdy steel, so I just cut through the plastic side vent.

Any questions or suggestions are welcome, Im sure Ive missed something.

well heres mine ill get a pic wiht the door closed later tonight when its dark.
yes the wires are messy but that was during my WC leak test and none of the fans were connected, now all hte wires are hiden behind the board.

PS. i broke the fitting for teh radiator cause my teflon got lodged and it got over turned so it snaped, so thats my makeshift and it works better then the fittings that came with the rad.

my geforce 5900 is OC to 450/800 right now
CPU temp is 32c/86F
GPU temp is 31C

mind you asus probe and nvidia temps are always +-3 degrees. I need to get an accuall temp monitor to find my real temps out.
