Ther's no colour additive in mine, just de-ionised water and Zerex so it looks slightly pink. I couldn't decide whether to get some red additive or not. I thought with the red LEDs on the Mobo it may be a bit too much. What do you reckon?

I think it looks mighty fine!!!!!
and "delbuenno", I think the colour looks sweet as it is!!!!!

Nice looking system madness 
Couple of Q's :
Have you cleaned your entire loop coz that liquid still looks a little 'milky' and there seems to be a lot of residue in that res?
Whats the temp monitoring hardware?
Why cool the Northbridge when the Southbridge is hotter and (reportedly) gains higher FSB from cooler temps?

cheers
Well the loop has de ionised water, coolant, red coolant lol, some uv dye, and some diet coke (not really but i was tempted
).temps are good, cpu is 52 idle and 65 on load
i thought the northbridge was warmer with the mch on it? needed for higher fsb

Well I tested mine (through touch) and the southbridge seemed much hotter wheres the NB was cool to the touch. I could be wrong m8 as I have seen people cool one or the other. I dont really have the option to cool the NB though as my P5WDH(P5Bdlx was faulty) dosn't have any holes just a clip so my options are limited anyway.

1.485V @ 200fsb (multiplier clocked only) with HT X3 and 1 "notch up on the HT Voltage and chipset voltage.
Takes plenty of tweaking with pump speeds & fan management and also everything I don't use is turned off in BIOS.
Great case airflow and a solid PSU obviously help enornormously.
Last January I had it stable at 3.4GHz @ 1.5V idle at 31 degrees. After 2 hours of Far Cry online it was still stable at 37 degrees.
Come on Winter..... DO YOUR WORST!!! You can't come quicly enough!!! lol

Wow! You've generated a lot of interest in this thread.
or perhaps the view count hasn't been reset.

Sorry for the off-topic but the other thread got pruned...Bob - do I just need to connect both the floppy *and* molex connector on my DFI board for more stable clocks?
Thanks!

I personally would connect both connectors, that's what it says on the book You do not have to though.
May be worth contacting DFI and asking.

Theres no need ot lower your HT multi if your HTT hasnt been raised, admittedly the performance decraese wil be less than 1% but still, every little helps!

Andy,
Was going to drop you a PM, but it seems ze forum is locked down... Tubing arrived day after, legend for sorting that out. Cheers man!
I finished putting it all together last night, and starting to get itching overclocking fingers put I think I'll be making another purchase from your good selves as my RAM sucks. DDR400 at 3.0-3-3-8 Nanya crap.
Anyway, purpose of this - what were those settings you reckoned for the 4000 batch? You said something about a flashed set of chips - care to elaborate more on that - am interested in extremis.
Thanks again for the wicked service and getting that problem sorted.
Mike.

1.4375V
12X Multiplier
240FSB
HTT multiplier at X3
That will give you 2880 MHz (2.88GHz) Which is FX57 speeds
Put the FSB upto 250 and you will be at 3GHz
Glad you got the tubing OK
Happy to help.
Here is a link to a thread discussing these chips:

Theres a screenie of one I oc'd at work to test them on the second page I Think!!

3ghz is what I'm aiming for, but I doubt that the RAM (if you can call it that) I've got will come anywhere close. However, bang on that the chips run at that from that batch - fair indication of things to come maybe...
What temps were they running at with that kinda overclock btw?
Damn, makes me wish I ordered RAM instead of two new HDD's from you over the weekend now!
I'm still tempted to hold on for that though, given the pre-chrimbo prices - always seem to inflate around this time of year. Might wait for the January sales
Random point - in the System Properties window, you've edited the CPU name etc... I seem to remember how you do the OEM logo, but haven't been able to find how you do the rest. Care to share?
Thanks for the info btw, much appreciated.
