not a fan with all the lighting, but anyone with a watercooled Stacker is cool in my books.

Thanks.

It looks very bright in the pictures but in reality its much dimmer. Must be the UV having a distinct lighting effect that's captured only in pictures.

The only phrase you can use is Hawt o.0
Damned slick dude

My new board arrived yesterday from Necrosis, btw dude i'm having problems with the WiFi thing that comes on the board, it's not picking up my network at all. installed my USB adpater just to check and it picked it up straight away. This is under Vista x86 and Vista x64 Btw.

Pic might be not that good quality because i'm a UV Whore but here's my rig atm with the new board. And yeah yeah i know, cables *rolls eyes* I tried harder than with the IL9 pro though.
I'll re-do the ATX Power later

Another pic with a bit of light, and too much DOF lol

o lord that is a lot of cables.

matthew_davao · Apr 22, 2008, 08:40 PM

It would help if your cables were sleeved.

I think i'mma save for a new PSU, one that has sleeved cables, should make things a lot easier

Check whether or not the cables are fully sleeved or not.

Some brands do not sleeve their cables all the way.

picked up a Noctua NH-U12P and a cpl of yate loon fans suggested above by lowfat. (Thanks). I had a 3000 RPM fan in the back before and the sound was rediculas. I put a medium speed fan in the front by the HDD cage because that is the only intake and a lowspeed in the back. Placed the cooler that way in order to get better airflow from the only intake fan by the HDD cage, and hopefully draw some air over the NB heatsink. (opinions?) and the low speed in the back in order to move a lil air but not steal from the cpu cooler.

hard to get a good idle comparison temp wise to my prior setup because i changed the case fans aswell, but the pc is now near silent, especially compared to before with the 3000 RPM rear fan! CPU used to idle at about 32c, now it bounces between35-38c. the ambient just rose in the last few days aswell, from about 22-24c to 28-30c. the load temps are great though! with the stock cooler and the cooler ambients prime95 would max out at about 65c, today with the noctua and the warmer ambient temps prime95 maxed out at 51c after 8hrs.

i think the lil higher idle temps are ok because now the pc is nearly silent and the load temps are about 15c lower

That looks great! I know you are enjoying the he** out of it!

I'm right behind you too [hobo]eclipse - with the same motherboard.

@matthew_davao

You might wanna put your tubing further on your pump... it looks like its coming off a bit.

**kris23** · Apr 27, 2008, 07:28 PM

get clamps too man...

knowing how those pumps were made to deal a good amount of pressure, that tubings gonna come off......

i dont watercool but i use high pressure pumps in aquariums, clamps save fish lives, theyll save your computer's stuff too....

He is using 7/16 tubing over 1/2 barbs. Trust me it is going to be plenty tight. When I used 7/16 tubing I never used barbs either.

greetings all.....i see some nice graphic improvements on this site from the last time i was here. I had some issues with my system for awhile there so i hadn't been on much while trying to iron all of that stuff out with that and school etc. But once again i am here.
and a few pics of my rig:

Mousey · Apr 28, 2008, 05:08 PM

And not a thing's changed since we last saw your rig

Dude get saving to go intel already :P

matthew_davao · Apr 28, 2008, 10:37 PM

Yup I use the 7/16" ID tubes. It pretty tight, I broke a sweat trying to connect the tubes to the pump. (until I realized the hot water trick)

Will post some updated pictures of my rig once my new monitor arives. hehehe

@ashalloum

Many Thanks.

**kris23** · Apr 28, 2008, 11:06 PM

matthew_davao · Apr 29, 2008, 12:05 AM

Don't even bother putting water cooling back in, you might as well save and go intel and put some uber stuffz in
