Coming from my personal experience of just painting my case the #1 thing to remember is BE PATIENT. It takes time to do a good job on a case. First thing to do is disassemble your case, it makes painting alot easier and prevents overspray or paint runnin on your case. Next get 400, 1000, 1500...

FLOW: Pump>Rad>CPU>GPU>Res>Pump
** had to flip my res over due to air issues. when i get new pics ill post them.
Personally I see no reason to cool the chipsets. I just completed my watercoolin setup on my 680i and my system runs nice and cold. I left the stock fan on the northbridge and it keeps the MCP at 30C which is excellent. Plus when ya start cooling your chipsets ya get too much tubing in my...
Hey guys, I just recently set up my watercooling in my stacker 810 on the 680i board. My problem is i want a stealth system and the chipset cooler is so damn loud. If i take it off my chipset runs at like 77c which i cant handle being that hot. Im trying to find an after market cooler that you...
Hey guys, Im at the final stages of my watercooling setup and am now trying to figure out how to place my pump inside my case. Is it a bad idea to place my pump ontop of my harddrive enclosure at the front of my case. I have a feeling that the vibrations the pump gives off could be enough to...
Hey dude, I have a BFG 7900GT crap out on me and the RMA was fairly fast, though im living in canada. Took about a two weeks from dropping it off at my post office to receiving it back from BFG. If your not sure what they require you to ship with it THIS WILL ANSWER ALL YOUR RMA QUESTIONS. Check...
Well Antimatter, why not run a 1.2terabyte system. Im only using about 60GB out of the setup but the reason i run this is that my system performs alot better. Since all the information is written to the outsides of the discs first and im running 4 drives this lowers your seek and read times down...
Hey dude, i have the same board/processor/ram. Im running it at 3.09GB currently which i plan to up in the next few days. I do have an aftermarket cooler Thermalright xp-90 on my processor. With this rig in my Coolermaster Stacker 810 my cpu temp is runnin at 27C and case temps are about 19C...
5/8OD would give you a crazy seal plus your inner diameter would be almost the 1/2 like your tubing which would give you optimum waterflow. If your having problems getting your tubing around it, warm the 1/2 tubing up in hot water, it makes it more elastic and easier to squeeze around those...
Thanks for the replies. I finally decided id wait down the road to go for a 4GB package when they come out with some sweet sweet setups. For now Im upgradin from my OCZ GX XTC PC2-5400 2GB setup to the Corsair XMS2 Dominator TWIN2X2048-6400C4D 2GB PC6400 DDR2-800 CL 4-4-4-12 240PIN. Should run...
Hey guys im about to upgrade my RAM and cannot decide between the G.SKILL F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ PC2-6400 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-800 CL5-5-5-15 240PIN Dual Channel Memory Kit or go for the Corsair XMS2 TWIN2X2048-9136C5DF 2GB 2X1GB PC2-9136 DDR2-1142 CL 5-5-5-15-2T 240PIN Dual Memory Kit

I can see from the topright of your pic what you use your pc for :eek: ... j/k. Looks nice, just wondering why you opted to not watercool your vid card?
Nice choice man, I think we have the same res, mines just called a pro for some reason. I didnt know that res came in aluminum ends. Mine has gun metal black coloured ends.
Im just starting my watercooling build, most of my stuff is on the way to my house right now, HURRY UP PUROLATOR.. anyways im a big fan of the Cape Coolplex Pro 25 external reservoir. I plan on mounting it internally beside my motherboard. Should be sweet.
I was all about a SLI setup when I was running dual BFG 7900GT for a month or so until i fried one of my cards thanks to my damn ring. Luckly my buddy had just bought himself an 8800gts and now had a spare Radeon x1900xtx laying around. Thru that into my system and wow that single card kicked...
Thats what im startin to think, but i hope its possible, This thread shows someone (M.K.D) with a 680i board with there vid card in pci-e2. Was that just for show, or did he actually get his system to run with it in his second slot. Help.
I have the 680i board and am trying to run my video card (radeon x1900xtx) on the bottom pci-e slot to allow for better cable management. The problem I am having is that when I boot up my system I receive a warning that i must move my vid card from pci-e slot 2 to pci-e slot 1 and restart. Ive...
Hey M.D.K.
