My New Watercooling Rig *Lots of Pics*

[Tyreal]

This Winter Break I decided too take the plunge and go watercooling.

Here are some pictures of the finished project:








The hard drives weren't being cooled enough so I modded in a fan to cool them.





I wasn't happy with my temperatures so I popped the IHS on the A64.




If you are interested in the temps I'm getting now....
Coretemp reports:
Core 1: 29c
Core 2: 35c
for an average of 32c. Currently overclocked at 3 ghz with 1.45 vcore.

Very nice Ty......Looking good bro................
You need another dvd burner in there though!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tyreal]

Hah! The 5.25 inch drive cage is so packed full of components I can't fit one more thing in it!

Another thing... Don't you mean DVD Bruner?

I like that 5 1/4 fan mod that is pretty cool man!!

Is that a 92mm fan? sounds about the right size, but what a great idea

[Tyreal]

No it's an 80mm fan. I couldn't fit a 92mm and I wanted to put a fan grill on it.
I can't take credit for the design because I recall Blake doing it on one of his first mods.

The best thing about the makeshift hard drive mounts in the 5.25 bays is that I can hold about 5 hard drives! Much more than I could originally take.

Yea I was just checking out a 92mm on a system here, and I see that it is too big to fit
