My first watercooling rig.

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.

Cheers mate. Glad you like it.

Hopefully I'll get a few more UV Cathodes to put in there.

Haha. I really need to do something about that!

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

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.

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:

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