erm, yes, yes it has. Its been proven many times, theres thermal/fluid engineering principles on it, for gods sake. The question is HOW MUCH, not IF. 3/8ths, imo, is about the sweetspot for usability vs performance with modern gear.

lol at this thread, eh TN, you did noticed he mentioned the pump overclocking, yes? Hilarity... does mention the low noise though, which is admirable - my main aim for watercooling at any rate.

1) isnt the aquagates pump built in too? 2) its 2" of air and aluminium, and the base is only 1/4" thick max.

Erm, 6 blocks are going to do BETTER in a half inch loop, theres overall less restriction. Man, some of these 'low flow' people are completely oblivious to science. Before you jump down my throat, if i was watercooling again id run 3/8ths.

A second radiator would improve temps considerably at that noise level/fan power.

As long as you follow the instructions to the letter, and be careful, no reason why it should be hard. That kit should perform excellently, as its a great pump, a top class block and a dual fan rad ;)

Check for leaks (obviously you have, but check the actual AGP slot) and check for thermal contact. You may have to reseat your gpu. sure its not a driver issue etc?

Noones mentioned the fact that your water temps are pretty high given your ambient, that ive seen. Your idle water temp shouldnt be that much above the ambient air temperature (ie, <2 deg C) Of course, your sensor could be off that your measuring water temperature with. Post some pic's of...

You've got a dangerden RBX block, which i believe has some kind of jet plate? (correct me if im wrong, i cant be arsed looking) If thats the case, go pump > cpu because you want the pressure to go through those wholes unrestricted. I think. lol :P

:) true that wow, 177 posts, i didnt think id been here that long... jesus, i whore forums :D

proj·ect ( P ) Pronunciation Key (prjkt, -kt) n. A plan or proposal; a scheme. See Synonyms at plan. An undertaking requiring concerted effort. I dont see how its 'hardly a project'... ive seen people put a few cold cathodes in and some fans and call it more than that... nice...

I tried it and found no difference in cooling - over time it seemed to get hotter - but then, i have the ducting mod which might make a difference... I'll try it again just to see :)

I cant see any difference at all? :confused: i think im blind ;p

Nice work, i can see people using this as a stand point in the future. And hey, you got to post pictures of that l33t kingston ;)
