Finally took a couple of pics of my small rad setup...it does it's job. One day I may get around to finishing the wiring....I just have too many other things to do in the real world... :p

what temps are you getting?

and my i ask why pink?

The water in the system is 25% Toyota antifreeze as a biocide and a lubricant. It is a bright pink color by nature.

Temps? Well...it kept my old XP running at 2.4ghz, at 45c under extended loads.

This rig with it's well known propensity for reporting too high temps using a CG stepping cpu, shows a max temp of 60c using the 7/29 BIOS and max of 39c using the old shipping BIOS. The new 7/29 BIOS is supposed to be accurate but people testing both a CO and CG stepping cpu in otherwise identical rigs have found that the CG's report higher temps at the same exact core voltage and clock speed.

I set MBM5 to a -5c reading for this rig, I have based this on several factors. One being that my old XP chip ran 2.4ghz @1.8v, and knowing that the A64 puts out more heat by nature, but I am running only a 1.55v core, I can theorize that a 10c gain in heat is normal. Also I have measured the temps of the waterblock, pump, and radiator with a digital temp probe and never have seen anything over 39c. Same type of probe they use to measure race car tire temps, etc.

It is rock solid and being that my radiator is all copper and very small, I have a very quiet rig with cooling on a hgh end air level. I am quite happy with it.
