glad to see you got your overclock sorted clayer, nice bit of bling as well

Looks very nice indeed.

Is that just 43'c at max load? Good temps if it is.

clayer · 23 Feb 2013 at 09:34

yes max temps at full load are mid forties not sure if watercooling or delidding is the major factor or just a mixture of the two the temps are with all fans on lowest setting and twin d5s on setting 1, i know my rad set up is overkill but i never do things by half i would have put more rads in if i had room lol, the gtx 690 has not hit above 40 c .

i recommend delidding and lapping to anyone and its very easy to do just needs a bit of time and patience i used liquid pro on all surfaces as well.

my only gripe with watercooling is its a pain to upgrade now which i often do although it might put me off for a while and save myself some money !!!

could you not flip the 120mm rad to reduce all that tubing ?

clayer · 23 Feb 2013 at 09:46

yes i did think of doing that but i like the look of tubing and it was my 1st time will do a better job next time possibly looking at the 900d as my next project going to wait and see whats new this year ie cpu/gpu before i make any hasty purchase.
