Ah right, understood, must've missed that bit....!
Only reason I ask is that I'm currently assembling a build with the XSPC dual D5 vario res/pump combo. However due to the way I'm setting up my case in a a slightly unorthodox way, the pump/res is sitting on a foam pad insert which in turn is sitting on a rubber isolated drive tray.
Haven't turned it on yet though...
Get a firestrike score uploaded then
First try here http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4568146
That was CPU 4625mhz and GPU Boost 1480mhz.
It is crazy that during the run the GPUs only went to 37c and the CPU 60c on Physics test.
And Ultra on the same settings http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4568220
Disabled SLI to try Single card, best clocking one on the air settings was 1530mhz so I stuck with that for now, will try higher later!
Normal http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4567886
Ultra http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4568333
Suffice it to say I am very happy with the system performance

Man that motherboard is godlike!
Hah yeah, the Asus Workstation boards are very nice! They do cost a bit more but you get advanced rma which is a next working day door step replacement service.
Hope I never have to use it but nice to know I have it
Still bleeding some air out, went and inverted the case trying to get air out the rads and then the pumps ran dry and sucked more in
Once I am happy I will take some pictures with the case sides on and a few better shots of the interior.

Thanks guys, really am chuffed to bits with it!
Now I have the Aquasuite software setup for the Aquaero it is just perfect, set both loops to try and hold 30c water temps with a maximum fan voltage that is acceptable to me (may adjust that with headphones on) and then I can just forget about CPU and GPU temps (I do have both overheat and low flow alarms).
Leaving both D5s on full speed as I can hardly hear them, getting 270LPH on the CPU loop and 215LPH on the more restrictive GPU loop.
With the side window panel on and low room lighting shining through it really does look good, the colours are are spot on.
I want to try and get some good pictures with a DSLR camera as I can't get good enough pictures with my phone, just doesn't do it justice.

Wow, work of art.

I love the build the colour scheme that purple looks amazing in that terminal block!
Custom cables sweet as, but can I ask why no hard tubing was used?

Thanks guys, I couldn't get hold of a DSLR but have a decent compact so should get some better than phone pictures today before I move it.
As for the tubing, I just don't like the look of hard tube, I did think about it but look at some of the spans of flex I have used, over 4 meters in total.
Really couldn't be bothered with all the effort for something I am not into. As I said in another post, I like the "traditional" look of flex.
My first water cooling build was in the late 90s and I used a pond pump, green pond hose and plastic barb fittings with jubilee clips, moved on a bit since then just not to hard tube

Omg do you have a pic of the pond build?
So loving that colour scheme!

Not the original one but I do still have most of the bits in a box above the garage along with two phase change units and a whole load of other PC stuff I can't throw out
Awesome job and so much inspiration for my next build
Thanks
That is a brilliant piece of work. Love the attention to detail. I am on holiday this week in motorhome and just had a nice read of this thread from start to finish. I wish I had the patience and ability to put a build like that together.
