New case arrived this morning, so i started moving all my kit across from my recently watercooled P182.

Obviously it was a tight fit, but it all went in there :) Had to drill a hole for one of the tubes from the rad, that's mounted at the rear.

Seems a bit strange having the airflow the opposite way around, i've got the rad fans blowing towards and into the case!
 
Its looking really good, i have one of these little cases winging its way to me right now, im not watercooling mine, but i am going for a tidy uncluttered look.

Did you not fancy stealthing the dvd drive, or have you mainly been working on the guts?
 
Whoops, posted under my girlfriends account :p

Yeah was just working on the internals today, and getting the radiator fitted in a convinient place.

When i was putting the dvd drive in, i did think about stealthing it. Not sure how to do it so i'll look for some guides or something :)
 
Nice job.:)

Slight hijack, but I need to show off my new improved cooling system. The A05 lacks airflow to the top of the case. So instead of drilling a massive hole in the roof and fitting a fan, I went for a new graphics heatsink that allows me to use the CPU fan.:)

Nice and cool:)

Benjo, have you not considered a shroud to ensure you get some airflow into the case at the rear?
 
I didn't think of a shroud no :)

Although i originally tried mounting the rad using a fan, and the screws werent quite long enough to screw into the rad because of those rubber mounts that they put there. Without the rubber mounts, the rad screws are too small and slide straight through the fan hole.

Idling about 35c, and load about 55c. That's with 1.55v to get to 3.8 :p

Blimey, can't argue with that, I've deffo got to go under water!


The stuff I've been speccing is similar to yours, except I've been looking at the XSPC Dual 750 Bay Reservoir Pump. and 1/2" tubing. So hopefully I'd get similar temps. :)

How come you changed cases?
 
Changed the case because i'm moving into halls in september, and didn't really want to carry the massive P182 up to my room :p I was originally going to go for the Dual res pump, but they were out of stock when i ordered :o

Just used a fan to mount the rad, now there's definatly airflow going into the case.

Sorry about the pic, from my phone.
