I had planned on putting together my water cooling project this weekend. It was to be a MCR320/655/Apogee Gt internal with the exception of the Rad being mounted with a Rad box. I started assembling and quickly ran out of space. I had intended on running most of my wires behind the mobo but came up short on the funds for a Dremmil(forgot my tags and inspection were due). The biggest culprit was the 24 pin cable infringing on the space the not so small pump needed. Then there was no room left for the T line. I just gave up and made it external.
Now I have this contraption strung across the top tier of my desk and my fiance walks in and is now firmly convinced I am nuts. Now for the problems: I have a barb on my rad that has a slow drip to it. Nothing like tearing it apart already to reaply some Teflon tape. Also the back plate I ordered won't work with the hardware I have so I am just using the stock mounting solution that I am less that thrilled with. Hang with me I am getting there.
My comuter is now refusing to boot as well. Hopefully with the moving around it just doesnt like the new SATA order and will let me reinstall windows without issue. Which leads me to the next point of tempts. I am getting a BIOS idle temp of 35C with a room temp of about 25-26C. I am a little weary of reinstalling my OS without a way to monitor the temps.
I may try to reinstall the OS when I get home(at work now) in the mourning. It is going to be Wed or Thurs before I will ge able to fix the drip. It seems like everytime I start a project something goes to hell.
