wah bro, i assume the radiator in front of the bay is for CPU, wont it be dumping too much heat into ur casing ?

might be air bubble in ur loop, btw ur temp so high 1 even on xigmatek running 3.0ghz...... it like mine running at 3.4ghz time......

u using core temp to measure temperature ??

using distll water should be the best, but it recommended u flush the loop first after using coolant, car coolant known to be quite sticky......

no need that drastic lar..... a bit of mineral is ok. Actaully u can go buy those big bottle of distlled water, usually quite cheap compare to mineral water.

but please dun use soap,........... just joking haha

amdhardcore, congratulation finally got ur nightmare over hehe......

but some how i felt that ur system is better without the casing hehe....all ur things so dangerously place.

anyway what is the brass/copper tube for ?

Ace, ur temp is quite ok and resoanable, u dun expected the temp to go down a lot, but i believe it will maintain about the same even u go to 4ghz. may be u can try to get some more cold air to ur rad, u could see a few more degree difference.

qx9650 in action........ temp seems very good wor.......looks like the nozzle kit really give some good results...

how about the temp of other components ??

hehe IcEMoCHa , thinking of goin water cooling ??? well if on q9450 not much to be gain as it limited by the proc itself.... but temp wise might be lower.......

i was thinking to go water cooling before, but after considering the hassle... give up... and 3870 come out at the right time for me to ditch my 8800GTS 320mb heat monster haha........

you can contact metal zone or moderno....... but stock availabitliy not sure though.

btw any user of the swiftech h20 compact ?? want to know if u expand the loop what wil happen

cascade system usually apply for CPU only u should take note of that.....

btw licheytan, i notice u change ur mobo, plan to water cooled it too ???

lichyetan, it difficult to get thermochilled or black ice rad here......... haha but after seeing what can it do compare to swiftech, i think worth the price to pay.

btw rozz_1291 , what block u using, looks familiar like EK or something

clawahammer, olang kaya goin for tygon hehe, but really good stuff

yeap WC excel in load temp capping...... the more water the better it is.

btw speaking of algae, it will grow even u use distilled water, ur system is fill with air before it run distil water. just only the rate of grow reduces. Even with coolant, u will still get some biofouling, but will be minimal in long term

car rad mostly made of aluminum which is not prefer by most WC user, but can achieve near to ambient is quite good, i didnt know that....

may be i get some try

irangan sudah balik kah haha..........

btw the more water i meant just merely quantity, water can absorb quite some amount of heat per oC of temperature rise. So in theory if u have plenty of water in reservoir, it is better. Longer tube of course does not help at all...... haha

eheim is quite well too iianm according to specs, but cannot get here....... haha

lift ur armour up and slap ur rad at the bottom.........aromour got quite some space at the bottom rite

Diamond water is RO rite, so it very close to Distill....

battery water is PH7, but it does contain a bit other additivies.

distilled water is a better choice, and cheaper too.

irangan's casing and rad ? any plans for expanding ur loop? u still quite some heat room left in ur pa 120.3.......

btw mind to show come pictures of the Rad ?

almostthere show us ur gear too, long time never saw u posting around already.........

thx icemocha, time for u to do some cable management i guess..... btw ur pump u just hand there ??

btw for such a big case, the air on lower portion of ur casing is moreless like ambient, so i suppose make no difference if u put the rad outside or inside.

rozz get a stainless steel 1, surely wont crack..... but quite costly
