Wow, thats basically exactly what I was thinking of doing -- Guess I need to work on those searching skills :P

Well, I'm thinking my mid tower days are over. I started off modding, threw in overclocking, and finally bit the bullet on water bout a year before university. At the time, went with: TDX BIP120.2 2 Generic 120x38mm fans (Push a tonne of air at 12v, 3 blades, googleing the brand on the fan...

I went with a dual bay res and am regreting it now, as I really dont need to see the coolant, and it was not easy to fill. I used pentosin G11, not for colour, but because we had some out in the garage -- First time I went with DD's non conductive stuff, temp difference was about 2c higher...

Lots of it. It gets much warmer then the 7200.10 I have. Burnt my finger on it... :mad: Ive got a 120mm blowing directly over the drives. -Cameron

With how hot mine gets, I dont doubt it :o Maxtor needs to cool down their drives. -Cameron

ditto

My temps are high -- idle 37, load 51. However... ambient is probably ~28-30, and im running one fan @ 5v, on a bip240. Sure, I could turn on the other fan, and run them at 7, or 12v, but then I would lose silence. My loop: DD TDX on... Opty 165 CCBBE0167, 2.7@1.344v DD Maze 4 on...

Ive a 320gb and a 250gb, and I find that the more I have, the more I fill. Used to have a 40gb drive for a long time, added 250, and filled that in about 2 months, added the 320, its almost full. Stargate seasons 1-9, + current season Stargate Atlantis seasons 1-2 + current seasons Music...

Oh boy. Not looking forward to this. About two weeks ago... Motherboard went kinda funky, (Asus) and B channel memory slots didnt work... Used one in A channel, and now the DVI on my VX2025WM isnt working. Fast forward to today: Motherboard back from asus, B channel memory still not...

9/10 distilled, 1/10 pentosin. Why? Secksy blue colour, kills all the little swimmers, prevents corrosion. Any antifreeze (well any toxic antifreeze) will do, pentosin is used for the nice colour. -Cameron

Running one, borrowed a friends WD 250 caviar SE just to test against for a few days, the 7200.10 actually felt a little bit snappier, if that makes any sense. -Cameron

Bah wish id thought of that before I sent it off... sent it off about 5 hours after I posted the thread, oh well :( -Cameron

Pretty much what I figured... sounds like its chipset related. Wierdest part? I do all my work with parts in a room with hardwood floor, and I was wearing a static wristband attached to the case. Meh, either way, called up asus, told em what happened and what ive tryed, and they will...

Just use a small dab of superglue in the corners, and spread the AS5 around the block. No burning or anything like that here, been doing it for years. I usually make my own ramsinks, but decided id give the swifttech ones a try cause they looked really nice... Im gonna stick to making my own...

I sure hope you do another run of these, id grab one in an instant. -Cameron
