wow thats pretty ccool, and does that rez have a top?, i had 4 fans on my core like that for a while, but now i got my 120s and my temps are down a LOT

is that antifreeze?
 
Bottom. still need heat spreaders on the second ram and a decent chipset cooler too
 
my friend the drill with a side cutter drill bit does every thing and this is all i used to mod the case. its my best friend lol.

where did you get that green "sh*t" from ?


/Oblic

from my car lol yup its antifreeze and b4 u say stuff let me explain.

I had to use it cos thats all i had in terms of corrosion protection. and i was storing bottles of this stuff in the freeze to see how high i can over clock. i got to 1890 with cpu temps at 11 degs.

Yah i bought a 120mm 108 cfm sunon but its too damn luad so i switched back to the 4 80mm it does the same though.
i used the 120 on a reall getto cooling job on a overclock duron 850@1150 vcore 2.00 lol temps at 33 folding

are the fans on your radiator blowing anywhere? you may be able to decrease the temps by putting a fan on the other side to reduce air pressure.
yah its a pretty tight fit i got to get more fans to increase flow but its just blowing in to the case at the moment and extracted up the top by a 5 1/4 drive bay
 
you gots antifreeze in there, that reduces water efficiency a LOT and you got a lot in there it looks like, when i used antifreeze i only put enuf in to tint the water green. not color it... thats practally strait antifreeze?
 
Looks like a lot of antifreeze to me 2. I love the duct tape. (my computer just wouldn't be right without it)
 
looks nice

the only thing I would change is that anti-freeze, unless you are mixing copper and aluminum together you only need like 5% of the system to be anti-freeze. Water transfers heat much better thin anti-freeze so you will decrease your temps if you dilute the anti-freeze with water.
 
some people use dielite, some use food coloring, iv tried one of them liquidy pens... the pen stained the hoses really good.... i think food coloring mite stain it, but it mite not, give it a try.... im gonna use a highlighter for my next one instead of dielite...
