Lots of Sharkoon silent eagles!

those sharkoons must make some noise! Are they 2000s?
 
Nah they are all 1000's the loudest noise is the water sloshing in the GFX loop Res. Im more of a silent person than coolest temps kinda guy. But i have noticed my quad sits happily at 26ºC at 3.6GHZ and under full prime load its about 47/49ºC. For my personal use i have my happy medium. :)

The biggest shock is that my 8800 never goes of 35ºC no matter what! I need to start clocking that if i can figure out this new fangled rivatuner :(

EDIT: There are 9 Sharkoons in total 7x120mm and 2x80mm all 1000 speed
 
The 8800 temp sounds fine, I'd say the prime load one is the one most likely to be off in my experiences :p - then aain my loop sucks for low temps.
Both seem fine though.

Nice setup though mate
 
Yeah your probably right with the prime load since i got bored (wanted to play GTA MP) after 4 hours and decided it was good enough :o Thanks for the kind words, at times i was lying on the floor surrounded by pc bits in a daze :eek:

It looks nice but the tube from pump to rad looks very restrictive. Straighter bends + less pipe always means better waterflow imo.

You could mount it at a right angle above the rad so it only needs to do a 90deg turn.
 
cheers Stelly :D

Darg it cant be that much of a restriction coz am getting idle temps of 30ish and loads of 45/50 with my current speed of 3.8:p

I'm getting the same mate, at 3.8 as well... must be the case :)

I have thought about getting a bigger one, but well I just dont know...

Hey steveo... you ever considered getting a couple of EX-33 fan intakes?

Would match the v2000 a treat:

This is my new case, I was in two minds whether to get a case like the Akasa Eclipse or go for a HTPC case as it would be more practical when I moved out again, I went for the latter and am very pleased with it.

The case is a Thermaltake DH101 and the best thing about it is the remote as it has full mouse and keyboard controls, ideal for when you just want to check mail or start some music :cool:

That's a very nice build Agr3sive! :cool:

Lovely case.

Thanks for the kind feedback GT ;)

I was a little worried that a HTPC case would knock my overclock down as its more cramped and the smaller cooler is less efficient than the AC7 Pro I was using before.

Luckily though I haven't lost too much, I was getting 3.42GHz with 1.52v before but have now dropped back to 3GHz at 1.32v, so its still a fairly decent overclock and most importantly it keeps the cpu and case temps under control.
 
Well heres my attempt

Specs in sig, the 9600GT is only in there till Overclockers send me my replacement for my old 8800GTS, 28 days apparently :( Also need to get another cathode in it at the bottom, but apart from that comes up pretty well I think :)
