Tempting.....

You're still dumping the same amount of heat into your case regardless of that ram cooler or not. Adding the cooler doesn't magically make your memory make less heat. It makes the memory run cooler because you're pushing air over them. The air absorbs the heat, and is then pulled out of your case through the radiator.

While adding the fan *might* be better for the health of your memory modules, it's arguable that it raises the temperature of your case because of the heat that the fans themselves make.

With an 800D and 3 120's up top, don't you think that you've got more than enough airflow for your modules without that additional fan attachment?

Valid points. I realise it wont magically remove the heat, but if I remove the fan and use a water block, the only fans will be on the radiators and case. More for aesthetics than anything else.

I'll remove the fan and see how the ram run without it. A $100 for that ram cooler is a nice looking cooler, but pricey.

2nd i7 full board build complete. one more to go and its a doozy.

 

[ontariotl]

Not even a week later a few things updated on my system....

First off, RAM cooler removed to see what it would look like without it since it was suggested

Feaser 1 coolant removed as inspection a few days later, gunk found inside my HK 3.0. UV dye already despositing crap on my fins. Back to just plain distilled water and silver. UV LED's changed to color for EK res. bays

UV yellow SATA replaced with UV blue SATA

NZXT Sleeved 8 Pin PCI-E cable extension

NZXT Sleeved power supply and fan header extenders

Finally replaced the awkward cpu to northbidge connection to two 90 degree barbs instead

I really like the looks of that 800D. If they would only make it out of aluminum...I'd switch out of my Silverstone.

Here is my new Feser radiator. Much better then my old Swiftech.

New setup...

Old setup....

[0xygenthief]

PHK, kind of curious what your voltreg temps are with the 480 setup you have? I plan on doing the same thing and am wondering if I even need active cooling on the cards like you show in your pics. I have two mcw80s on order and bought some zalman ramsinks (low profile blue aluminum ones) just in case I need them.

Also, were you not able to use the 480s fan at all?

My Lian Li. Specs are in my sig. Its a great case and I really enjoyed playing with it. I replaced the grill covers from the stock ones with the air holes to the older style solid aluminium ones. Watercooling is exactly as is shown. Two single 120 radiators to keep the clean lines. Clear fluid, black coil wrap. Stealthed everything possible. It was a fun and frustrating project.

If I ever have to do it all over again, I might just go the simple route. I'm glad I did it, but it was a lot of work getting it set up the exact way I wanted it. No pain no gain.

[dR.Jester]

New watercooling parts installed as well as an XFX 5870 now at 1ghz. Idle's at 34C and never goes above 49C @ load. Also installed a new radiator and CPU block. Swiftech Apogee XT. I'm noticing better idle temps by a few degrees and load temps appear to be about the same. [H] forum member Jiggaman helped with the setup and did a damn fine job.

 

[thisisglen]

My first try and water cooling... got my E5200 running at 4.0 no problem

Here is my setup. Just finished the CPU loop yesterday.. To bad my pump died during the leak test.. Oh well RMA here I come...
Still have some minor wire managment issues to clean up here it is so far...

Hi, here some pics of my V350

Here is my setup

 

[aviduser]

Had to plumb in my hd 5870, so I went and re-did the whole loop.

Im calling it Haf-full, never thought I could fit two 240 rads internal on a unmodded midtower.

 

[NoSkil]

Wroom ( liquidtech ) made for my couple bloks. Now he made new benchtabe. Is cool.

Very nice looking noskil. I'd love to have one of those! Send me a PM if they are available for sale.

That's a cooler master 840 case right?

Looks like you're using the two 240mm fans included to cool the radiator...right?

How does that compare to three 120s?

 

[DooKey]

Check sig for specs.

Hi, here some pics of my V350

What did you use the mount the radiator? I'm considering doing the same thing with a v351.

sig rig

just got the h50. used the fan from a darknight for in and the corsair fan for out on the radiator in my case. did it by turning the radiator sideways and not screwing down the panel all the way (v351b case)

FINALLY at 4ghz 1.26v

Beautiful machine! I need one!

I saw this thread and all these systems, so I had to join and post mine.
Ignore the PSU, getting replaced soon, and so is the crappy CPU block.
