Watercooling advice ............... :)

So after that all went relatively well and the front of the rig (with the door open) now looks like so (Still deciding on whether to remove the chrome fan guard and replace it with mesh) but for now :



Also fitted a new 6 channel fan controller

I did actually strip the fan / holder pump down and eventually use the even shorter screws to screw the fan to the rad through the closest holes and then thread the soft fan mounts through the other holes, through the fan holder and through the grilles.

So all in place and fired up :




After looking at the set up with them on and off I decided to take the springs / coils off

With UVs on (although its not particularly dark atm - ill get some better shots) :

Idle temps are down 5-7 degrees although ambient room temp is up a few - so all in all a good drop from removing the x2 from the loop and the x2 temps aren't too shabby either



Under load (see max temps) using IBT:



Realtemp cool down test (maxxed out on Prime @ 50)

And some real nice temps on a cool morning (yesterday )

There was a guy on chilled the other week saying he used wrong size screws and made 12 holes in his thermochill 120.3 rad....he soldered them up..... took a few goes b4 it was sorted. gutting.
Looks like its nearly time for a new case if you get another 4870x2 m8.
