im using: Alphacool Water additive Tec-Protect-UV blue 1L

my whole system used about 850ml in total, didnt use the whole bottle. Im not going to put a uv light in though, i wanted a water-like look.

Cpu @ 3.65ghz 1.48125v was 69c with Titan Vanessa-L cooler, its now 54c with my watercooling
Cpu @ 3.7ghz 1.53175c was 74c with Titan Vanessa-L cooler, its now 58c with my watercooling
Cpu @ 3.75ghz 1.55675v is 60c with my watercooling
Cpu @ 3.8ghz 1.59375v is 65c with my watercooling:)

GPU @ Stock was 59c with stock cooling, its now 35c with Danger Den Maze 5 GPU block.

That is tidy compared to mine. mine is a snakes nest just waiting to bite something, got 10 fans all on the verge of eating some cable or another

You joking right?

2 just isnt enough in any mans life.

It's possible to have more available in additional units, but if you need more than two per user then it does seem excessive.

REALLY should use the top inlet on the ddc ;) otherwise the plastic top is fairly pointless

yeah but routing the hose was easier that way. Ive got same pump and have used both top inlet and side inlet. I know the top gives more head pressure and increased flow rate but it made no difference to my temps

It will have done, just the onboard sensors aren't accurate enough (or the difference was tiny :o) ;)
 
running @ 3.8ghz now @ 65c. passes 4hrs memtest, 2hrs orthos and superpi 32mb.

im gunna keep my system at these settings, am happy with the temps.

2.13ghz to 3.8ghz, not bad eh!!!:)
