You can use an image host to upload them

Also, your sig can be max 4 lines long, yours is a bit too big

Thanks , im really happy with the results, the loudest thing in the system is the pump, it makes this really annoying humming sound! Its an xspc 750 dual bay resavoir, i think it may be broken. Im so tempted to do the gpu's awell, mod the bottom and put in a 240mm rad lol.

Nicely done

Hi,

I am looking to watercool my i7 920 CPU and 2 x 5970 video cards. I know absolutely nothing about watercooling but i am trying to get my head around it all

I know i will need a new case, the 800D seems very spacious so i might go for that one

This is the list i have put together so far, please tell me if anything is incorrect or anything you think i should change. Thanks for your patience!

I know this is proberbly not what you want to hear but this needs to be said

If your first time water cooling then COOL your CPU only. When you get used to things then expand your loop

what temps are u getting with ur setup full load?

Im running a 360mm rad with 3x fans in push at like 400rpm each. EK hf surpeme block. Prime 95 with a core i7 930 @ 4.2ghz load on all 4 cores is in the high 60's. I came back off 4.5ghz as in order to maintain it i have to pump a lot of vcore to and i dont really want 1.4+ volts going through the chip. At 4.5ghz it was in the low 80's, but bearing in mind i have three fans doing pretty much nothing thats not bad, i if was to crank up the fan speed and put another 3 fans for push pull config, im sure i could drop the temps further, however i do not want that noise.

To be honest there is no easy way to cool an i7 and 2 high end GPU's without modifying a case. The only other case I can suggest is the Lian LI-PC-P80B or Silverstone TJ07 which stiull require modding to fit the required rads.

Bit off-topic but..

Having recently looked into w/c with my case, im amazed to find out the Silverstone RVO2 can fit, with no modding, Black Ice SR-1 360 and 480/420(in theory) rads with fans.(just take out the three 180mm fans and their mountings and you have more length and depth for a rad than any other case on the market)

And the first case i have seem, to be able to handle a Black Ice SR-1 560 & five fans, with some very light modding.
