Right. I've pretty much finished my watercooling rig so I thought I'd post it up here. I just need the barbs for my Danger Den res then it's finished.

Spec:

ABit AV8 3rd Eye MOBO
AMD 64 Venice 3200+ CPU
GeIL 1GB Dual Channel RAM (Not pictured 'cause it's had to be RMA'd :( )
nVidia GeForce 6800LE
2x 80GB Maxtor HDD's
Hiper Type R PSU.

Watercooling:
Standard Asetek CPU Block. Might get a new one.
Asetek DYO GFX card cooler.
120MM Asetek DYO rad with Vantek stealth fan.
Asetek Pump
Asetek 10mm hosing.
I'll have some UV dye soon hopefully. :)
I'm pretty happy with it. Comments welcome.
 
Nice one, im especially liking the overflow hole in the side just incase it breaks and spills ;)

Haha. I really need to do something about that! :o

Might see if I can get some more acrylic from somewhere.

That nearly came in handy when I was bleeding it actually. Had 2 leaks right on the GFX card! :eek: One from the CPU block and another from the rad. :rolleyes: I was surprised it still works. Hehe

If the GFX card and CPU were running you might have been crying...:p However, when electronics are switched off, they can take a bit of water without any problems. You just have to make sure they get dry before you turn it on again lol

Not as low as I would like TBH, but that's probably because there's loads of air in there. It's damn hard bleeding it without a Reservior!

Currently getting 36idle and around 42load.

I get about 26 idle and around 36 underload on air, seems fairly high for water cooling. Nice job on installing it tho ice tidy cabels too :)
 
Yeah, that's because I have loads of air in the system. Also my fan is spinning at a really low RPM. 960RPM at the moment. That's off the CPU fan header though. I might try it on a different header and see if that makes any difference.

Cheers for the comments people, glad you like it. I should have an updated pic' tomorrow when my barbs arrive. :)
 
Quick update. Just got my RAM and barbs through the post today so it's all fitted up nicely :) No air is left anymore so I'm happy. Also I changed the rad fan from the CPU header to the Aux1 header and it's running at 1500RMP now which is good. :)

Here's an updated pic(Crap because I took it with my phone):

Now I'm going to try overclocking it. See what I can get.... :)

Oh, and the loop order just incase you can't tell: :p

Pump> Rad> CPU> Res> GFX> Pump.
