Got bored again and figured time to update the system..


Swifty 6000, till I finish making my new block.
Maxijet 1200, got to be one of the best pump deals out there. I've beat this thing to death and it's still tickin.
Bonne core, time to retire the ole chevette core.....
Evercool gpu block, stole from an old system, works very well.
And some interesting plumbing. No res, no T-line. Hmm, how does one fill it you say?


First my new case, the Artic Cooling Silentium T2.

Here's a pic of the flow route, no res or T-line.. :D

Notice I use parallel flow instead of series for my blocks, due to the restrictive nature of the gpu block. Also, the pump power line is tied into the psu's.

Whoa! What is that extra tube on my rad? Hey, that's the fill port baby!! :cool:

I'm waiting on two Pabst 4412's before I do a better shroud. All in all system works very well and is quiet. Swifty block is not as good as my home made one, but it is not compatible with new tubing, so gives me a reason to make a new one... :D

Reason for modding the rad to have fillport was to simplify tubing runs. Plus it looks cool.
 
That loop isn't very wise, IMO. You're allowing some water to simply loop through the pump and GPU block. In fact, if your GPU block wasn't restrictive you'd be getting very little water through your CPU and radiator.
 
i think that temps tell the tale of how well the solution works.......what are you running on the CPU and GPU?

Youd be suprised just how well this setup works. Gpu, which is volt modded, does not go over 45*c. With my AC Silencer 4, it would push well over 80*c. The restrictiveness of the gpu block is the very reason why I plumbed in parallel. I would not recommend it if you were using say, a maze4 block.

Believe me, I've done test both ways, have tore down and rebuilt my system many many times. There is no set way to w/c, just some general guidelines and principals, those willing to experiment will reap the benifits, or sometimes, consequences...

Today they are 42*c gpu, highly voltmodded, and 46*c cpu @1.7v under full load.

Indeed, temps tell the tale.
 
are the barbs on your Rad the only thing holding it where it is??? cant seea braket in any of the pictures

Yup. The holes were drilled so that the barbs would just fit in the case, then the tubing with clamps secures it.
