Hurray after finally getting around to ordering the stuff for my WC setup i have finished installing it.

It has taken around 8 hours i have a huge headache, backache cuts and sweat but its installed and it looks sweet :):):)

Now all i need is some better photos as they are not that pretty to look at, now all that's left is to get some black and red braid for PSU and it will be almost complete :D
 
Had forgotten about this thread, 2 months since the last update haha. Nice to see its still going though :) How does this setup compate to the H50? Temps much better?

Well temps at the moment are better than the H50 although i suspect i have air trapped somewhere possibly in the rad and at the minute i don't want to pick this thing up and deal with it i am ruined from yesterday, this little thing weighs so much it's silly.

I am currently doing F@h on CPU so I'll be able to see how it compares, the H50 used to get to about 80°c+ so i am hopeful for a reduction it is currently sitting @ low 70°c :D:D, and it's so quiet but my northbridge and VRM's are getting toasty :D
 
:(

Shame this is now on the scrapheap after the mobo died again and my foot went through it now gonna order a ATX mobo like the new gigabyte ones and the coolermaster 690 II will hopefully see how that goes.

It was such a good little rig but i cannot stand things failing and will not be buying EVGA again in the future, As it takes a while to get apart and get it back together and tidy so im going back to ATX :)
 
I should be able to send it out to you, dunno when might pop out this weekend to do some stuff and see about getting it to you. It only has a crack down the left side of the Dimm slots and is a bit bent so its still in shape sort of :D
 
It should be enough just aslong as you have enough surface area then you will be ok, i am hating writing on a ipod touch takes forever and keeps dropping connection to wifi and having no games to play well bored lol.
 
Didn't even know my thread still existed :o yet alone put in here :p

I used a junior hacksaw and cut down to near the center where there is a long slot makes it easier to fold up the side out the way and might need a file or sand paper cos it ill be sharp :D

Just try and work out where the top of the rad will be and mark it then just cut away it aluminium so easy to cut and fold or just cut it right out, I left mine incase I moved on to full watercooling and needed the support of the bay.
