Well here it is, my first successful attempt at water-cooling. If you guys read my post from last week, I originally tried to make my own version of Swiftech's fill & bleed kit using 1/2" ID tubing. That ended up being a disaster. After that, I re-designed my system with just a simple t-line. I was very annoying to fill because my t-line is so short, but I didn't have much space, and I didn't want a long t-line. Thus, the short, stubby-looking t-line. But it's ok, I'm willing to suffer for it, haha!
I'm using a 1:20 ratio of Zerex and distilled water. I'm going to add some bacteriostat soon. If you're wondering, there's nothing above the t-line cap except for my Plextor, hard drive, and PSU. I'll install the other HD later. The t-fitting is actually 5/8" OD. I wanted to make sure that it wouldn't hinder flow too much. Enjoy the pictures! Let me know what you think. I know it's not the most innovative nor cleanest system, but I did my best. I'll post more after I tie everything up and put the side panels on. The last picture shows all the spaghetti in the back that you can't see from the front! Also, I still need to design a filter system for the front intake...
Edit: Man, that sucks that the pictures don't load up in the posts anymore...
Edit 2: Sorry, but I haven't had time record temps yet. I've been running it pretty stable at 3.8GHz (FSB238 x 16). I'll experiment with higher speeds later. I'm also running my 9800 Pro at 470/400.
