Project: Liquify Mads

The great day has arrived!

Finally fitting the loop! Will take some pics soon of progress. Just stripped the 480 back!

The bay reservoir is going to be a challenge to fix into the ATCS 840. I forgot about the stupid tool-less 5.25" bays. They are a bit of a pain, since I had no screw holes on one side now.

Did you have problems?? would love to see the pics!!

I will be uploading pics tonight

Even though my exam is done, I have some project work to finish today for uni, so won't be able to tidy the PC up properly until later.

No real problems, just my fingers are in bits from the fittings, and doing up so many screws!

Temps are INSANE! 39 C on GTX 480 @ 900MHz running Heaven benchmark. Idles around 31C or so. Granted my ambients are quite low, as room is cold. CPU idling at 29C on one core, others a bit lower 22C and 24C and 29C.

So quiet! I love it!

Heaven benchmark results. GPU was at 39C during this run!

Thanks. The water is all now, and it runs beautifully. Didn't take anymore pics after that one with tubing, as its just wires etc. Got it reasonably neat inside. The isn't enough space behind mobo panels in my opinion. Would rather the case was a cm or two wider for better management.
