Hi there i'm new :D

Just finished building a testing my first watercooled rig. Have had the rig for 3months now, but just got around to fitting the watercooling.

Comp Spec:
E6600 @ 3.5ghz 1.52v (in bios)
Asus P5n-e mobo
2gb Ballistix 5300 @ 950mhz 4-4-4-15
8800gts @ 620/950 (1900)
X-FI Fatality
Antec P180

Watercooling:
Swiftech Storm Extreme Block
Swifteck MC30 chipset block
Liang 18v Pump with acrylic top
XPS RS360 120.3 rad
3x Yate Loon LED Fans
250mm Magicool 3 Port Plexi Reservoir
1 Litre Smoothy F1 Water 1Ltr (UV Blue)
1/2" Tubing from local Hardware store :D

And the build pics :

Having to RMA the res as its leaking, but got the replacement yesterday so i'll throw up somepics when thats done.
 
That looks very good, I like the spoiler-esque mounting of the rad!

I'm not too sure about the window though, have you thought about putting some edging round it to hide the join?

PK!
 
One extra thing.

Voltmodded the liang 18w to 5v :) and a lot quiter. and also stopped the rad from letting small air bubbles in dude to a stupidly high flow rate. also decreased temp 2degrees :D

Full load of 40 @ stock and 55 @ 3.5 1.52v :D

Trying to work out if i have the space to WC the GPU too :D (seperate loop :)
 
For some reason that last picture of your res reminds me of a slush puppie machine. If its just me that thinks that I blame the two pints I had at lunchtime.

PK!

Yea thats with the pump to high. Thats it causing, air to get into it.

With the 5v mod on the pump its just a gentle wirl :)

Grr, how do i 5volt mod my pump, the noise is doing my head in! (DDC 18w... w/ delrin top..)

I tried plugging the rpm sensor into my fan controller and turning it down.. didnt seem to do anything... probably just be being a n00b

The sensor wire is just that, only a sensor.

I'm pretty sure you can damage a DDC by reducing the supply voltage, have a search around before doing anything drastic, though newer models may have now resolved this.

What noise is it?, if it's vibration through the case you can easily isolate it.
 
Would be better off with a FuZion or ApogeeGT/GTX for LGA775 setups. The IHS and die size of Core2Duo/Quads processors means storm suffers as they have a direct impingement focused cooling area.

I'm pretty sure there is downsides to volt modding the Laing DDC series, I'll find out for you.
