Hal's CM Mystique mod

[halutzparilla]

here is my finished mild mod for my CM Mystique








next project will be the side panel window when i get the chance...

oh btw the temp went down to 34-39C at 80F room temp, all in stock speed.
the whole loop is :

MCR320 Rad, D-Tek Fuzion, Stealth VGA Block, Tygon 1/2 ID, PC CHill by DD, Yate Loon Med Speed fans, MCP655 Pump, Blue Cathode LED by Logisys, and my CM Mystique....

I would cover the cathode from the inside with something reflective so it wouldn't blind you when you look at your tower yet reflect more under.
My 2 cents :)

i was actually thinking about that putting some acrylic casing to cover the Cathode then wrap the cover with a foil to bounce the light more downwards... i might do that tomorrow...

It's not a bad idea, I wonder how it would look. I guess you could just try with a foil of aluminum before doing anything haha :P

Looking good so far HAL, but I definitely agree with the foil idea.

Also, great rad choice.

i had a minor leak from the stealth block i have to re-tighten the worm-drive hose clamp i used for the tight space, i just started to clean it up nothing got major soak but a little drip from the base of the fitting. from the looks of it, the fitting got loose and i got a few drops of coolant on the base of the comp...

i running it again for hours to check again for leaks...
i'll try the foil in the afternoon...


btw anyone have a Stealth VGA Block, i wonder if they are also experiencing the Vcore mosfets keept falling off the card...

I wouldn't mind WC myself but as I tend to not even touch the inside of my system for 6 months at a time I would be afraid of leaks that I don't know of.


Looks great Halutz!

leaks are no issue when you perfectly tighten your clamps and using the right fittings and proper non-conductive fluid their is no worry...

my CPU is a hell of a crap really it always stay at 37-42C with the WC, but my GPU is way better at 35-38C never break the 40C mark, my GPU with stock HSF shoots up to 58-60C.
i dont know maybe i'll change the CPU when i get some money for Christmas...

maybe Q6600 or E6750? either one i hope i get a good batch unlike this CPU E6600 always runs hot...

Looks great, Hal! But what about all those elbows? Is your flow still good? I'd be worry about some restriction if I were you...

Well... you might want to loer your vCore a tad. I don't think your E6600 needs 1.46v to run at 3ghz...
