Just like the title says, lets see pictures of your watercooling systems.
Let's try to keep questions, comments, and complaints within the other threads, just pics and specs here.

Here is a link to the old sticky, if anybody wants to browse or salvage pics from it...

CPU: Dtek White Water Aluminum Top

Temps are 29 C ambient, 33 C idle on CPU and 38 C load on CPU.

LEDs on my Sunbeam Rheobus sure are shiny...note that the temp reading is for the hard drive, which is being cooled by the Vantec Vortex.

Meh, will get Chevette core mounted sometime. And no, my tubing isn't dirty ;) . It's a slightly orange tint from adding Prestone coolant (most of it already faded away).
 
I am kind of emarassed to post with the way most of the rigs look here but here goes.

Tell me what you think about it.
 
Just finished my first WC install, into an Antec Sonata. This is an Asetek Waterchill KT03L20 version 2. I snapped a quick pic for another thread I posted into, so here it is. Will come back and edit when I have more/better:

I got this SN41G2 to power an XP2400+ at 2325MHz. And it never gets above 40c.

Changes coming: Wire sleeving and eVGA Geforce 6800 coming Thursday. New watercooling parts eventually.
 
Until I receive the parts necessary to have my 6800GT on its own loop using the DangerDen NV-68 (3/8"), I'm gonna keep using this setup.

The parts should come in a few days. I'll update then.

This is what it used to be:
12189.jpg


Due to the low-flow pump of the Koolance and its lacking radiator, however, I disasembled it.
The parts include a Via 1300 pump (370GPH, 6' head), 86 Chevy Chevette heatercore, a Sunon 120mm fan and shroud, a reservoir, and the DD-NV68.
 
Here are some pics of my new water cooled rig.

Just put this rig together a week or so ago, and finally got some image hosting on the web for the pics.

This is it right before plugging it in and pushing the button (already did 24hr leak test)

The wires could use a little more cleaning, and the hoses are a bit sloppy... but oh well

Here it is, with my laptop, with flash

Without flash (the side fan isn't plugged in, but is a blue LED 80mm)

Don't worry, since this pic I have fixed the orientation of the CPU block so it's correct :)

Odie :)
 
Why do there have to be so many WC pic threads? I've done this like 3 times now on hardocp. Since I didn't find my name in this thread I'll post it again:
