    Default First Liquid Cool Project

    I am going to start with a teaser post but here are my idle temps with crap TIM and no overclocking but I think there is plenty of room to go up from here

    Hardware monitor AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+
    Temperature 0 24°C (74°F) [0xCF] (Core #0)
    Temperature 1 11°C (52°F) [0x9D] (Core #1)

    I'm thinking either you have this system in a refrigerator or there is something wrong with your readings on core #1. What's the ambient temp where the system is?

    That would explain it then. You're using phase change!

    I said i was cheating on air cooling anyway, my rear case fan was pulling in from the ac vent and out the front, I expect my temps to go to hell once we start running the heat. AC is off for the night and core 1 has come up a bit but I think the biggest challenge is definitely going to be the gpu if i cant find a water block for it

    Just A quick update and a question, I have ordered sata cables, fan extensions, power adapters for my hdds to recess them further into the cage. Now the question I plan on having green cathodes at the top and bottom as well as uv cathodes to really make the loop glow. One set will be hooked to the inverter the other will be hooked up to my fan controller which is sound reactive or full on. Which set do you think would be better hooked up to sound reactive?

    Minor update gfx card is getting almost hot enough to boil water, so i stripped it down cleaned the gpu as well as the heat sink and it brought it down about 20 degrees but still not extremely happy with the temps... what are your temps air or liquid.
