Well...i decided to go for a new case, and when i bought the new case i was at PDXLAN which just so happened to have a dangerden stand there..so i then thought..."what the hell" and bought my new wc setup (old one was a Kingwin liquid cooling system)

So after i was done talking to them (awesome bunch of people) this is what i ended up with.

Thermaltake Tsunami Dream case:
MAZE4 A64 block 1/2" barbs
Arctic Silver Ceramique
DDMAG 12v pump
BIX w/ 120mm Sunon fan
1/2" Fillport w/ 1/2" Tygon tubing connected to 3/8" tygon on 1/2" barbs (nice fit almost the same flow)

temps:
A64 3000+ s754 Clawhammer @ 2.40Ghz 1.55vcore
29c idle (sitting for a couple hours)
32c idle (listening to music surfing web working on clients computers)

39c load (playing HL2/BF2/RA2/HL DOD CS all them for extended periods of time)
42.5c load (running Sandra CPU Arithmetic burn in 25 times.)


Original side fan for case is 80mm piece of crap which fows about nothing and the 120mm rear fan which is also a piece of crap and flows about nothing so i've ordered a new 78cfm 80mm smartfan for the side and a Sunon 108cfm 120mm fan for the rear. Hopefully my temps will be somewhat better after i get those fans.


OLD temp with Kingwin Liquid cooling system
34c idle (surfing music all that crap)
47c load (gaming/benchmarking)

Tygon tubing.. mmmm I wish I had that.

Is your rig quiet? That's the most important thing, quiet and fast ;)

no not really the 120mm sunon is loud but not as loud as a tornado or anything...but i don't really care about quiet...considering youi can easily talk over the fans and have the tV on and hear it without a problem

Get quiet, you won't regret. Sooner or later, you'll want a silent system. There is nothing more cool, than an oc'ed watercooled rig, that is quiet as a sudden windy breeze.

I need to start water cooling, *must resist spending money* I will eventually. I do agree quiet is a must.

Is that Red Alert 2 I see up there?

What's your nick name (s) on there? And do you do Yuri? That is the game I play most online, and since everyone there is pretty much a n00B now (well for the past 3 years) I always seem to win, usually, and if no one else cheats before I catch it early so I can counter cheat, hehe, or beat the cheater fair and square, hehe
