Looks good man. Where did you get that quick connect T from? I saw some similar items at Home Depot.

Also thats some serious cooling for the RAM I like it :D.
 
thanks, and thanks for all of the help i got around the forums as well

lol, yeah i got it from home depot, it was either the white of gray, that 80mm panaflo pushes a good 40cfm and does a very good job cooling the ram and mobo components but i was thinking about replacing it with a 92mm denki.... BTW you leave your card vmodded all the time? notice how i cool that section of the video card with the 60mm fan, on the underside behind the fan are two big metal resistors(i think) at the edge of the card, they get mighty hot, i ended up epoxying some ramsinks on it and attached that fan, might want to look into it

is that swiftech hydrx? cause that stuff really glows! i've never seen it under UV lights before

yes it is, but it is really diluted, supposed to mix it with 1 liter but i mixed it in 1.5-2 liters, you think that glows? lol, i put UV leak detector in the water i was using before and it was about 3 times brighter than this stuff, but it stained my tubes so no more of that stuff
 
the outlet of the swifty waterblock is ment to be at the top, you have it at the bottom, id get that fixed if i were you

:) its recommend to be at the top for bleeding purposes only, i completely bled my loop before i installed it

i know you are trying to help and i appreciate it, but it can be installed in any way:

SWIFTECH MANUAL said:
In order to bleed correctly during the fill and bleed operations, and while the system is standing upright, the water-block discharge should always be at the highest point, as shown in case 1 and 2(up position). If your block installs as shown in case 1 and 2, then proceed with installation instructions in paragraph 3. If due to the socket orientation the water-block is oriented as shown in case 3 or 4(down position), such as frequently encountered in dual processor boards for example, then the water-block must be bled PRIOR to installation onto the socket: Simply set-up your cooling circuit first, and while filling it up with fluid, hold the water-block in your hand with the discharge pointing upwards so that all the air trapped into the block will escape. Then attach the water-block onto the socket.

it glows really green... alot of the other stuff glows sorta yellowish from what i've seen
 
looks great. my mobo has the ram in that same position. actually one of my tubes was touching the heatspreader on the ram.

caught that and used an ide cable to prop the tube away from it. temp went down 1C

I have a 80mm TT smartfan sitting over my ram as well, makes me feel a lot better knowing I have more than enough airflow for the ram.

Also thanks for the tip on the resistors, when I get my sidedoor back on my case with its 120mm mounted I will sink those up for sure. Oh and I do leave my card V-modded all the time, it stays fairly cool when its not under load so I dont mind leaving the volts so high.
