This machine is going to be the best watercooling setup I've built yet!
Very excited in seeing how this thing will perform in the temp. department.:p

The setup includes:

TC-4 rev.2 waterblock

Camaro '89 Heatercore w/shrouds (shroud on backside is still in the making)

Danner 500 Gph mag pump (also have two via aqua 1300's)

Prototype Air trap (made out of pvc and JB welded barbs) - Clear air trap in the making

Looks fantastic. I can't wait to see the temp from it I didn't have the guts to build my own water rig so I went Koolance and I must say that I'm VERY hapy it. Once I'm more familer with the way is works then perhaps I'll try my design

I was thinking about getting a kit, but then I didn't find one kit that had everything I need, and all the kit really includes is instructions (compared to buying things seperately). Since I can download instructions from a kit off the net, I am buying my parts seperately.

BTW, ElGriton, is 31c your load or idle temp?

31c Idle but it's never higher than 38c Under load. Prime95 torture test.

Not bad at all... :) I don't even know what my idle is anymore... all I know is my load, which is at 50c when folding. (gotta love them Dragon Orbs... :mad: ) :p

I hear you man, mine hits 48 C folding and I've got a Dragon Orb w\ ASIII. Luckily as soon as my Tygon and my TC-4 Rev. 2 arrive next week, I'll have everything to start my H20 setup:D

What's so good about the TC-4 waterblock? What do mean by it's quality? You mean there's a warrenty or sth?
