Silent success

[zkosmos]

I wanted to post the success I’ve had with my first water cooling setup. Big thanks to all of the people on the forums, I spend many an hour sifting through the information that’s here.

System Parts:
Asus P6T Deluxe
Intel i7 EE 965
Evga GTX 285
Evga 8800 GTS 512 (PhysX only)
12GB Cosair DDR3 666mhz (6x2gb)
120GB OCZ Vertex Turbo SSD

Cooling Parts:
Lian Li PC-A71F
MO-RA3 9x120 PRO Radiator
Swiftech MCP655-B Pump
Tygon 1/2" ID (3/4" OD)
EK-Supreme HF High Flow CPU Block
EK-Multioption RES X2 - 250
eVGA GTX 285 Waterblock
Koolance 1000W Liquid-Cooled Power Supply
2x140mm intake fans, 700rpm, 9dBA (Noiseblocker NB-BlackSilentPro)
7x120mm Radiator exhaust fans, 500rpm, 7.5dBA (Scythe Slip Stream)
Koolance VL3N Quick Disconnects
Pure distilled water + Silver killCoils

Temps: idle Load
CPU 37°C 52°C
GPU 40°C 51°C

No plans to overclock yet, the EE proc I got a at 1/3 price so don’t feel too bad about not overclocking it. PSU was the last part as the prior PSU was the major source of the total system noise. Had to fiddle to get the pump vibrations isolated to not make any sound. Two missing fans on the Rad are to fit the GPU water block.

Is it true that it's best to be Silent when you Suc Ces ?

Yea, Mesh panel + careful amount of cutting and bending. This mesh was thin enough that I was able to cut it with a pair of wire snips.

Both of these sites carry a range of patterns in the DIY section.
