It's up and running. I'm seeing 41/47 on the cores under load and the GPU's are hitting 39/35 under load. The lower temp is on the GPU after the rear rad so it does make a good difference. Ambient temp at those readings is 28C.

Now, here's a bit more detail on the loop since my pics are so damn dark. Little did I know that this camera was pre owned by a film noire fan. Anyways, this loop features SLI and I have the Swiftech Ramcool 79 on here. In this situation you run one F fitting to the first card and at the back...

I think it's kinda cool looking since there's a shroud covering all the unfinished funky parts you see on so many heat pipe coolers these days. To each his own though, one man's spirit is another man's poison and all that.

Nope, I don't do UV additives as they have a very bad tendency to separate out of the water. I'm running a 6% mix of blue Zalman coolant to distilled water. After I get home from work in the morning I'll get a few closer shots of the details such as the res and the GPU blocks, I was too wiped...

Well, it's sitting on the table doing the leak test as I type this. I didn't take any pics in the interim simply since I was trying to hurry and get it finished but here's where it's at now. The loop is plumbed and I added a second auxiliary radiator at the rear of the case. This is to help...

Yes as long as there's not much else on the 12V rail.

You had trouble registering thanks to your fellow countrymen spamming our forums with ads for cell phones and other assorted garbage. Rob did an IP ban that pretty much bans all of Russia from registering into the forums thanks to the ones that are non-stop plaguing us. I'm really sorry about...

SFF is Small Form Factor. It's the craze that can be attributed to the "cube" PC's introduced by Shuttle although it's grown to include all the micro ATX based systems coming out, the majority of which are aimed at gamers and more specifically lan gaming. Actually the drive doesn't get that...

I hope so. I'll get some pics once I get a bit more done on it :)

X2 3800+ at around 2.6Ghz, ASUS A8N32SLI Deluxe, 2 gigs Corsair PC4400 Pro, EVGA 7950GT KO SLI, Ultra X3 1KW, 500Gig Seagate 7200.9, WD WD1600JD 160Gig, Auzentech X-Meridian 7.1, Swiftech Apex Ultra w/ 2 MCW60's for the vid cards and 7900SLI ramblocks. Then there's the usual ODD's...

It's not that bad... you just lay the case on it's side and fill it. The res and pump are not tied down so they can be moved easily for filling and bleeding. Thanks man, I can't wait to get it finished :)

Why am I not surprised? I'm sorry to hear it though.

Ok, well here's the start: This is the air cooled version, I've already started tearing things down but you get the basic idea. The new home for the reservoir. The res will be held in place with the modder's friend: Velcro. Speaking of the res, here it is. And there's the pump. It's...

I plan to log the whole build in here as it gets completed. I just did the rad today. Actually the mobo and tray are on a shelf and I've got the res mounted in a HDD bay and the pump is in front of the fan duct in the mid case area. I've gotta unmount the mobo, route wires under it (I got an...

I made mention of the holes in the case roof being tapped right here but I guess you missed it... ;) Yeah, I could use toothed washers but I don't have any to hand and I don't feel like fighting traffic to get to Home Depot (it's over by the mall...terrible place to try going on a Saturday) and...

No, the screws won't pull the angle out from under the rad screws. The holes in the case roof are threaded so that when the screws are run to the mounts on the case roof they're tightened to the case roof. You'd have to strip the holes in the case roof mounts in order to get the screws any...

Again, to continue... I cut out the bar in the middle. This case will be my main rig and will live with me for a good time. Again, the mock up from another angle. I drilled and tapped four holes in the brackets, two per side on the ends. Mounted! The roof holes are tapped so the rad cant...

Ok, to continue... I'm using 3/4" aluminum angle to hold the rad. It'll run along the fan holder mounts in the roof. Cut it to 11-1/4" long and mount to the rad. Setting it along the roof shows how it'll fit. There's a bit of a gap, nothing terrible.

I'd like to cover the proper way to put a rad in a TJ09. I say proper since the rad will be sealed all the way down the sides and the mounts will be tapped. there are no nuts to try to hold in place and no funky L brackets to fight with. Here's the bottom of the case roof. Here's the...

It's madness...
