I think the phrase you are looking for is "they threw the baby out with the bath water". Such a pity.

Thanks R1ck. I'm kinda set on getting a XT di and a mounting kit for my existing XT. I'd like to compare the performance of each. I wonder if the bases are interchangeable too.

The youth of today! ;)

I'm surprised you got any help at all after that comment. There's more polite ways to ask for help.

I think it's probably safer to get a mounting kit anyway as well as the di. I may not be able to use my 1-in 2-out in my future plans. It would be easier to sell on my modded XT if it had a mounting kit for the newer motherboards. It would be nice to have the mounting issue confirmed though.

Which is why I haven't bought it [yet]. Maybe another reason why benchies of the new ATI cards in Crossfire are being held off?

Yes indeed. The weak point of that system is the crappy DFI RD200 mobo. I want to replace it with a 790FX and make a few alterations to the water cooling circuit. This time forget north bridge and hard drive cooling and all the stupid lighting. You see my 6 loop design could be very easily...

Me too! I'd love to see a 4x4 setup, water cooling each of the 3870's when waterblocks for them become available. Then we'll see if the new AMD OverDrive is worth the pilgrimage... My casebuild may be in for a reload...

It looks like he had to use a screwdriver to split that block apart. Coalescence at it's best (I had a dictionary for breakfast).

Can anyone tell me if the mounting kit of the AC Cuplex XT di will fit the standard Cuplex XT? It looks like it does, but looks can be deceiving. I'm about to change my mobo and cpu to a 790FX and Black Ed 6400+ but don't want to retire my modded Cuplex XT. Rather than buy just a new mounting...

I'm wondering something simillar...how does 3870 CF stack up against X1900XTX CF in all the recent games? My DFI RD200 is an old piece of crap and now's my time to upgrade to a MSI 790FX. The planned Black Edition 6400+ cpu (no Phenom just yet) and a some DDR2 should be a nice boost (2x 16pci...

Got your PM, I would have missed this thread! Yes, noobtard is right, they are anti-kink springs for the tubing. I bought them from airline pneumatics, the link is to a list of the types they sell. Should be available in the US. As for the flexible tubing on the lamp, you could trying...

I'm getting the same artifacting with my crossfired X1900's and the 3 games from the orange box. Thought my cards were overheating, but they sit around 60C during load. l'd expect a hot fix pretty soon.

The system is running pretty well thanks. l'm itching to make something else, but l'd have to sell Parallel Hex to afford it :( and l've got no idea what I would get for it. As for dust, it's not bad if l cover it when I'm not using it. lt does suck in bugs when it's on!

Damn... I go away for a bit and when I come back everyone's an AC Hater. Shame on the forum... I really thought this thread would have been interesting to the water cooling community and expected more comments, theories and such. Go figure.
