i got the er6i's and they sound really nice. but since they are really low impedance you should have a good source to run them from. when i ran them from my laptop, i could hear hissing like crazy, so i got a usb sound card and it sounds really nice now. oh and they really do block almost all sound.
you're using tap water? why not buy distilled, it costs only a few dollars, and you'll never have to clean your blocks out. tap water has all that nasty stuff in it that can come out of solution, and cause problems.
sorry if this is a stupid question, but, um, where are your hard drives cd drives and psu? is the case that big that it can fit a mcr 220 and above that drives?
the only things i can think of with a lot of single 120 rads, is that tubing would likely be extremely difficult to impossible, and it would hurt the flow moreso than if you would get 1 big rad. it is my belief that people on this forum will tell you to do 2 loops if you are planning to cool all...
i see you're pushing the hot air from one radiator into the intake of the second radiator. wouldn't it be better to reverse the first fans so that they are pulling air through the rad, and that way, both rads get nice cold ambient room temperature air?
i remember seeing some shuttle that was extensively watercooled using pipes. It was on some french website (yey google translator). anyhoo, that guy watercooled everything, cpu, gpu, ram , mosfets, PSU , i remember thinking how it looked so hard to fit everything in.
if anyone can find the...
I've been using my swiftech mcp355 with no problems. it seems the ddc, ddc2 tend to fail more when people use after-market tops, not sure if it's true, just something i heard.
I used a swiftech apogee gt on my 478 cpu, and i was able to reuse it when i upgraded to c2d. i feel it did a good solid job of cooling, and i know there might be (and probably are) better solutions out there.
there was a entire 8 page thread about this problem with the e6xxx series cpu's with intel tat and coretemp. it seems as if they assume the tjunction for the cpu's is 100c when it might be that it is indeed 85c. so since temp is tjunction-dts it atomatically adds 15c onto whatever temp it reads...
kind of off topic, but you really shouldn't be running your loop without any clamps. even if you just use zip ties. You could spring a leak at any moment.
