white & blue water cool time.

Looking nice there, cant really go wrong with lian li design at a cheaper price...

Nice choice of colours and cpu block looks amazing in white.

id get a rear (intake) fan on there if i was you just to cool the board/ram i found with watercooling u can have some issues with board temp with not much air flowing around that area.

hello,
i've got before and after screen shots of my temp at fully loaded with prime 95 on air and water.

Air:

Water:

As you can see i've got a temp drop of 20'c, i think that is really good.

hope you all like my little project.
thanks for looking

Cool

It's a heatkiller 3 block yes?

N00bbuilder79 · 23 Jan 2011 at 18:14

How did you find getting the 7/16 hose over 1/2 inch barbs?

fine tbh, i got a cup of red hot water left the end in for 30sec and they slipped on really easy.

I was the same as you about a month ago. the advice I can give you is read up n read more, it ain't that hard, I found it easy tbh.
My set up goes, res - pump - rad - cpu - res.
All the best if/when you do yours, ask on the fourm as there are people on here what will help you.

Any plans on dropping the GPU in the loop?

Also, any idea when you are going to be modding the top?

I am thinking about it but i don't have £60 spare at the mo but if i do i'm thinking of adding another 240mm rad to the back just for GPU.
As for the modding the top i was going to do it last Saturday but did not have the rite tool for the job but i will have by the end off the week and will be doing it then and i will post pictures up then.

hows your coming along?.

Apparently a shipment from sapphire is coming wednesday so if I am really lucky I might have it by the weekend.

Looks great, white interior is rare and actually looks rather cool - perhaps if you could get some rather dim blue led strips in there to accentuate certain parts it would look amazing!

Actually they can come off in a very fast hurry
but only if you turn your rad fans off without thinking !

thank heaven for Non Conductive Coolant :rolleyes:

Great stuff mate, looks good and job well done

buttkinz · 29 Jan 2011 at 14:33

that 360 rad would be more than enough for adding your gpu into the mix, no need for a seperate rad
