Good news, I slapped a low speed 120mm fan on the bottom of my case, and the NB temps shot down from 38 to 31C. It's very quiet, and does the job.
One thing I'll keep in mind when buying 120's...
Thanks for making that post there, I'll bookmark that! Next time I'm in there I might switch it over, I'm also going to be posting on that new thread too!
Right now it's all at stock. I'm having some weird problems with my video card (that I've had since I've purchased it) so I might OC this system a little before sending the card back to XFX to get...
Yeah I was debating that, but decided to go parallel so that the pressure would be the same throughout, if I made is 1/2" to 3/8" and then 3/8" to 1/2" wouldn't that change speeds? I bought the...
Double-post, plus possibly resurrection here, haha.
I got all of my watercooling installed!
Here are some lovely undoctored pictures!

Yeah they're just over-glorified corks!
Yeah I have one fillport at the top of my case, but when I switched the system out I just disconnected everything and took out the complete system.
In retrospect it would be easier to get a second...
Oh yeah, that page has both at the bottom, lemme fix my previous post to have 2 links.
EDIT: previous post fixed
Yeah, well vga, chipset, and then mobo since I bought the Asus board with wc-ing.
Okay so heres the new list of parts that I will be working with:
I bought the MCW60-R, compatible with both my 7900gt and the future 8800gt:

Reminds me of System Shock 2 (hence my sig)
Yeah I just read the "FULL 16X 2.0!!" and looked no further. Plus they are so high end + ASUS!:redface:
Haha I was just looking into this when I saw your post. Balls, I guess my brothers getting an 8800gt for xmas! For the pricetag of $207, $225 shipped, it's not a huge letdown. Plus this will be...

Daaamn yeah, I might hit them up!
"When coupled with the MCW60 water-block, the kit provides a totally silent, high performance, and relatively low...
By the end of the year I will be cooling the CPU and Mobo for sure, but I might put in the cpu cooling within the week! After I get the 8800's I'll see how expensive waterblocks are for that, I...
Oh yeah, I heard the same thing, but it's actually decent, it's about 39C. Maybe more under load.. I need something to monitor that more accurately, the only thin I really believe atm is the BIOS...
Hey I used Core Temp! I usually use speedfan, which I had to fall back on since core temp would shut down my computer randomly. Also you can check temps in the BIOS is you want it to be super...
Okay I got the majority of the upgrades..
New Stats:
Intel Q6600 2.4Ghz
ASUS Maximus Formula
2Gb OCZ DDR2 1066Mhz
XFX 7900Gt
2 x Western Digital 250Gb 8Mb Cache (I think it's 8)
1 x Western...
I'm getting rid of some of my W/C stuff, dual core block, 120 rad, and intel north-bridge heatsink. Gonna upgrade to the quad block and 240 rad.
Not sure about upgrading the waterblock though, DD...
I already bought it :(!
Would 620 watts power the dual 8800gt's, 2 HD's, plus the watercooling, anyway?
I know that the GT's are the most power efficient at ~277watts each
277 * 2 is 554...
It's so beautiful! I played the demo and it almost fried my card! 7900GT... granted I wasn't skimping on the detail either...
I'm sorry that I could not have posted in time, but DID ANYONE take...
As mentioned before temps are hot, they're around 76C with the stock fan... APPARENTLY it is a little overclocked, from 1.86 to 1.89.. could this really cause such high temperatures?
I'm...
Yeah + rep for those man!
Okay this is weird...
I put the stock fan back on, and it says it's at a whopping 80C! This is with two extra 120's attached to the case. My GPU on the other hand is down to 45C..
So the temp...
