    Anyone have opinion on BFG Tech Water Cooled Video Card?

    I bought the GTX295 water cooled version from BFG. Buying it with the block installed already takes out the hassle of you having to remove the stock cooling and trying to install the block yourself, especially with the GTX295. Plus the BFG water cooled version comes with their lifetime warranty.

    Is 1x MCP655-B With EK Top Enough For This Loop

    Is 1x MCP655-B with the EK Rev2 top enough for the following loop or do I have to use 2 pumps. I'm trying to keep it neat by only using 1loop instead of 2. Motherboard = EVGA X58 SLI CPU = Core i7 965 Video = BFG GTX 295 with DD Water Block LOOP = MicroRes -> MCP655-B -> 1st MCR320...

    Chipset & Mosfet Blocks on Asus P6T Deluxe?

    I'm getting ready to put my new pc together, but was wondering if it is worth it to get blocks for the NB, SB, Mofset on the P6T Deluxe. Does the board get hot enough to warrant the blocks or would it just be a waste of money. Also is 1X MCP655 with a EK D5 top using 3/8" tubing enough for...

    It's official, DangerDen has stopped trying

    Dam, that is a ugly and simple block. EK's looks so much better compared to that!

    fan direction

    Blowing air in makes more noise. I have 2 MCR320's with a total of six fans. The fans are all mounted on the back of the rad sucking air in.

    Rubber O-rings?

    Orchard Supply has the most o-ring assorts from a local store. I was able to find them there after not seeing them at Lowe's and Home Depot. The only problem is that Orchard Supply isn't located everywhere.

    what fans for my radiator??

    High speed yate yoons and a fan controller, that way in the summer you can turn the yates up. They're quiet when you use the fan controller to put them at 5v or 7v. I have 2x MCR320's with a total of 6x high speed yate yoons. Quiet since I have them all on 5v with the fan controller.

    My Revised Setup Pics!

    Thanks for compliments. The case does come in black version, but it still has a silver front panel. The Mozart is only 27" high x 13" wide x 13" depth. I took out the foam filter from behind the front panel black screen, for better airflow. The tubing is Durelene PVC tubing 3/8in. ID 1/2in...

    My Revised Setup Pics!

    Thanks, the Mozart case is an excellent case for water cooling. There's enough room on the back of the case to mount 2x MCR220 rads without having to use any mounting brackets. The case's depth is only 14" which provides excellent air flow from front to back. There are slots for a total of...

    Swiftech MCP355 Questions?

    1 MCP350 was fine on my old setup, I only had a decrease of 2C when I added a 2nd MCP350 to the line. Just remember to get either Petra's or Alphacools modified top for your pump. My old system = MCP350 with Petras top > MCR220 > Apogee GT > DD 680i > 2nd MCR220 > 8800 GTX > Alphacool SB >...

    My Revised Setup Pics!

    My revised setup with advice from this forum. QX6700 overclocked to 3.2 MHz. I used to have everything on a single loop, but changed it to a dual loop configuration. Temps went down with dual loop! Loop 1 = MCP350 > MCR320 > Apogee GT > DD 680i > Microres Temps = 32-34C idle, 46-50C load...

    Swiftech MCP355 Questions?

    The mcp355 would work a lot better if you either get petra's top or alphacools modified tops to improve the flow.

    Will an extra pump help at all?

    Your system is fine with just the 1 pump that you have. My old loop had 2x mcp350 petra tops in series powering a 2x mcr220, apogee gt, 680i chipset, alphacool chipset, 8800gtx, and I only had 2 degree celsius improvement from using 1x mcp350 petra top. So I went back to just using 1 pump...
