Orientation of Radiator Help Needed quick!

As bubo said - elastic / mini bungee / rubber bands to make a web or cradle.
Or get the ek x-top for the D5 - small boost in performance and whine is gone.

I had the Apogee GT before - and the diamond pins get gummed up very easily with algee or die.
Highly recomend you give it a clean (remember to aline the pins the right way when assembling it - pic on swiftech site)
temps are good - always been a fan of high flow rate blocks in quiet systems

My i7 @4ghz is 65c full load with the fans on the rad running at 5v....

Idle temps are around 38c

Whilst my main criteria for maintenance is also whether cooling efficiency has fallen since new, I have to say leaving it 3 years with knowledge that the UV dye has made the water look like pea soup, I would be getting concerned whether the pump is being worn or stressed having to pump the stuff around. If it remains as non viscous as normal water then I guess there is no problem since you say your temps are still ok, though you did say you could see bits being pumped around. I'm as lazy as the next bloke when it comes to wanting to avoid stripping down my PC, but if the water looked like that I'd do it myself, just to remove the snot like appearance if nothign else.
