depends on fan speed/load currently fans almost off but house quite cold cpu 32 gfx 38.

Max load probably gets cpu to 43 and gfx to 49ish.

hmm there was a time when, watercooling proved to be a lot cooler than air but my freezer 64 pro cools my opty at 2.8ghz at temps of 28c idle and 41 load :S

thanks for your input.. :confused:

problem is it'll be a hell of a lot louder doing it and I guess it probably looks a bit dull.

This isn't an exersize in low temps for me and quite honestly I'd be a bit worried with a 13 degree idle-load difference. (dunno whats in your opty but I also have to get 1.55v into this x2 to get it to 2650mhz)

Anyway, it's whatever floats your boat, I got tired of having huge great lumps of copper hung off my motherboards

Looking good though Matt. What tubing did you use for the sli bend after?

Nicely done mat100!

This thread has re-spurred my interest in re-plumbing to accommodate a dual loop. One for each of my SLI gfx cards. That would let me get rid of the tight loop between my cards then. I don't have to worry about my CPU as it's phase cooled.

I think that will be next project after finishing up on my home cinema.
