It never fails to amaze me the detail people pick out of these pictures - I'm waiting on someone asking me what the cable coming into the PC above the graphics cards is...

Some kind of external power cable?. Looks thick enough to be a mains power adapter for some internal kit that needs it? pump maybe?

Does it connect into one of the PSU cables and you can measure voltage or something thats running through it?
Soldato
No.
Given that it's on the same PCI slot as your water pipes, then my guess is it's something to do with your Reserator?

Correct - you need to know it's the power-synch cable for maximum points though! Sharp eyes to pick out the pipes from the carpy photo though

Ah so it comes on when you PC turns on?
I seen the tubes just couldn't firgure out what the hell it would have to do with watercooling.
Any who VF1000 results.
The card is in a different slot. I dont see why there temps would differ as there isnt anything that would heat up the card more being where it is atm. Ill put it in the slot the card with the Vortexx Neo was in when I was testing that tomorrow, just to make sure though.

Max fan speed it is pretty loud and more audible than the Akasa. It sounds louder and makes a different noise. At max speed and can hear it with a Sharkoon Silent Eagle 2000 on the go and thats rated at 30db.

Almost zero I would imagine. The new AC cooler draws air across the whole board, and from my experience it's not necessary anyway.

So is there room for ramsinks to fit under these, or will they be pushing up against the heatsinks?
What heatsink are you talking about manveruppd?

I think everyones impatiently waiting for the 4870X2 
Apparantly its 30% faster then 2 4870s crossfired so if thats the case then it makes the wait ever harder.
Id love to get it but scared of the noise it will make

Either of the 2 flavours of Accelleros or the Vortex.
