Finally put my pc back together. (well almost)
I'm planning to replace my old res w/ a new EK version when he finishes them.
My wires aren't cleaned up very well yet either but when I swap out res I will finish it.

Thanks, my idle is about 30* and max load is 42-43*.
I haven't pushed it hard at all yet because I had really no cooling for the NB or RAM till now but it runs 3.5GHz very easily.
Here is a pic I posted in a thread last night.

Watercooling looks good, but that zip-tied fan dangling there to cool off the NB/ram is fairly ghetto!

Click to expand...

I won't argue that, it was a last min thing. The problem is I needed cooling there and really needed a 80mm fan but so happens all I have are several 120mm fans laying around. There just isn't much room for a 120mm. I think I will replace the NB with MCW30 and use a fan that mounts above the ram.

Also, the reservoir looks very badass/sexy

Thanks Guys, Blackbird the res is an old "waterplant" made by a Criticool (in Canada I believe). It is very similar to the one I'm wanting to replace it with except the new one by EK has a divider. With a strong pump it's hard to bleed air bubbles with this one because the air is sucked back in before it can reach the top of the res.
