This is my first WC Build. I ordered blood red coolant instead OC send me Clear UV, which I tested is not UV at all. Can I mix in a coolant dye in to this and is it worth it? Anyway here is the pics: (taken on phone sorry)
Water cooling experience:
Make sure you leak test!! I had 3 leaks from the bay/res one barb was not tight enough and the drain port cap was loose. Leaked all over my HDD and SSD. Overall not too hard and enjoyable.
Specs:
Intel i7 3820 @ 3.8ghz
Asus Rampage IV Extreme X79
Kingston HyperX Beast 16gb 2400mhz Quad Channel
Corsair Force 3 120 SSD
2x WD Cavier 500gb
EVGA GTX 680 Superclocked
Creative X-fi Titanium PCI-E
Corsair AX850
Antec 1100
XSPC Raystrom RS240 Kit
Samsung Syncmaster SA350 27" 1920x1080
Temps:
CPU Idle@ 30oC
Prime 95 Load@ 48oC
Questions:
How do I do RAID 0 on the ASMedia Sata Ports? Kind of lame only 2 x79 sata ports on such high end board.
Looking at current temps how high can I overclock this system?
In GPU-Z it says the card supports PCI-E 2.0 but currently running at PCI-E 1.1? what is going on here?? I thought PCI-E 3.0 was possible?
