Hey guys first time posting long time reader and lover of [H]. Need some advice i bought a asetek water chill system great water cooler for the money. I hooked everything up the instructions suck they gave me no diagrams of how to route the water lines. Here is a pic of how i got it set up, this is a p4 3.2 @ 4 ghz used to run hot. Like 70 c. now it runs about 40 - 50 c which is worlds better. but i wanna make sure ;)

Looks fine to me except for one thing.

The "standard" setup is to use the Y-adapter on the two outlets from the CPU block, and then run your Northbridge and GPU blocks in sequence. The way you have it setup is fine, but the more restrictive block (probably the GPU block) is getting less water flow than the less restrictive block, and your GPU needs it more than your NB by far.
 
I liked the setup as well, although the Vid Card cooler has a HORRIBLE mounting solution IMO. I ended up just getting a DD Acetal Maze 4. Life is good now.

This was the only thing that I would change with your setup, however if your temps on the GPU are fine for you, then there isn't a dire need to change it. If you notice that your GPU temps dont seem that great then I would change it to how typhoon has his setup.

I would guess 34.7 or 38.2 is his idle or load CPU temp :D That is probably Idle CPU Idle GPU would be my guess.
 
Actually that's RAM temp.

CPU is 32 idle, 39 load
Vid card is 42 ish, and I can never get into the temp monitor before it comes down.

The 2x120 BIX does a great job IMO.

Of course, I couldn;t fit the NB cooler, so if anyone needs an extra Waterchill NB or Vid card block, they're just sitting on my shelf :D
 
Thank you guys for your input. I thought about douing it like that but i figured ah ill take a shot by hooking the n/b and gpu to both outlets. My gpu temp is fine i got the 6800 to 430 and thats good enough till i get sli. my cpu temps are high but not bad i put water wetter in today and it made a 4-6c difference. Thanks again and thank u jeffline @ [H]ardmilitary for the advice
