some of these builds are seriously impressive... I cant get my head round how you guys hide all the cables so well
can some one give me a few tips.. are the bulk of these built with a modular PSU
 
TPWilko, good god :o I'd hate to try and move that but sweet temperatures. Though I'm puzzled how the graphics card is so much cooler than the CPU.

What's the NB/SB temperatures for idle/gaming since you have it under water.
 
i know the graphics card puzzled me aswell never thought they could get that low of a temperature my other temps are.....

Idle

M/b 26
s/b 27
n/b 30

Gaming

M/b 27
s/b 30
n/b 36

is my CPU temp about right considering the ambient temp in the room is 22 degrees and clocked at 4.2 Ghz and voltage 1.5. just wanted to know how high can i take the 1090t voltage safely.....

Haha not easily! It requires a case with a LOT of room behind the mobo tray, a modular PSU and extension cables with a big case. It's worth it in the end imo as if you have gone to this much effort in the first place, you don't want cables of different colours hanging all over the place!
 
tbh ive always thought modular power supplies arent all their made out to be

considering i use most of the optional cables anyway, it just makes the psu look messy

with a non-modular all the cables come out neatly in one place which i can hide quite well at the back

modular power supplies can look even uglier and are more expensive too

Redoing loop with some koolance quick disconnects, might change block and reservoir too. Currently have the XSPC Dual Bay for 1 ddc pump. Have bought a Koolance RP-401x2 + Koolance cpu-370si block.

Right peeps! (Sorry, watching way too much TTL...) Anywhooos finally redid my loop again for the 3rd time in about 5 weeks and this time I a well a truely proud of it! This time I spent about a week doing it so I took my time and I think it's paid off! Really pleased about being able to mount the EVGA 680 backplates on the cards while using the EK FC680 CSQ blocks. I used 4 of the M3x4 screws that come with the block then 5 M3x6 button head allen screws on the rest of the mounting holes to give the cleanest possible finish! They look so much better than the EK backplates in my opinion!

I actually think the EVGA 670 looks ok with that block on it.

Mind you the only other block I'm aware of is the EK block with the circles and square edges. So compared that just about anything would look pretty good!
