My Spin On The Corsair Hydrocool

Having used the HC for several months I was pretty pleased, portable, easy to use, the only issue I had was that it used 1/4" tubbing and I wanted something that had 1/2" as I am planning on going to a Dual Opteron setup and I needed to maximize the amount of heat that the system was able to remove.

So what I ended up doing was stripping the HC down to the frame and then I added the best 1/2" parts that I could fit in the chasis.

Here are the Pics,

I like it, very well done. One question, Where did you get the Quick Disconnects for 1/2" ? I want to add some to my setup, but dont know where to get them.

VERY impressive sir. Temps?

Awesome! Now the real question: what kind of temp change did you see going from 1/4 to 1/2 plumbing?

The 1/2" disconnects I got from Colder

Colder Non Spill

as for better temps, its kinda hard to compare right now as I am using a different cpu and its is hotter then #$%@ in my apartment ( damn summer ), as it is I only see a 4-5C increase in temps between idle and full load (F@H)
