Well the thing is if I didn't pay attention to details it would bug the hell out of me. There are still a few bits and pieces I need to perfect and I'm still not 100% satisfied with the build but I had to get the vid done for another competition so may aswell post an 'ads removed' version here too.
Just waiting for youtube to 'approve' the vid now .
I've been 'into' watercooling for a few years now and started out with a coolriver product that to be quite honest is laughable by todays standards. It came to something when you think a thermaltake bigwater is an upgrade! I just like the look of it. The industrial feel of it and the 'OMG! he's put water in a pc' look when friends & family visit. There is also silence to consider - I hate noisy, whiny fans and no matter what folks say, to get the best out of an aircooler you need a powerful fan and/or very good airflow.
It is never really a bind making a watercooled setup for me as I reckon I actually enjoy building the pc's as much as using them although it can be a little frustrating having to drain loops just to complete a small upgrade.
I have wanted to dabble with phase/ln2/dice but the whole idea of that goes against my thoughts on pc use. I prefer 24/7 USEABLE overclocks, I see little point in overclocking if you can't make use of said overclock. Benching is great fun in the short term and an e-peen parade but I personally prefer to see the benifits of my clocking. It bugs me when review sites post suicide shots as this is of no use to the person reading the review and can be misleading - gimme a stable 24/7 overclock, which takes more work than a suicide shot, any day of the week.
Anyway - after my mini rant the vids finally been approved :
