Heh, I'd love to have one of my rigs going water, but I'm a little worried about it going swimming...

Roster corrected. My apologies, Rolandoo.

I've got to stop living up to my custom user title...

Thank you sir!

Honestly if you take your time with clamping the tubing, and leak testing you should be fine I was very nervous whenever I made the jump to water but it was well worth it, and it looks "Pretty"

ill make the jump to water if i have the money. seeing those water blocks being so expensive and rad's being so big makes me hesistant. how loud are LCS's ? i see ppl using like hella high CFM fans on the rads. gotta be loud

I'll give you that.

When looking at all those tubes, I can't help but think that the machine looks alive. Especially with reddish coolant.

My w/c setup is pretty noisy, I went more for the performance approach than the "Silent" lol I am using 3 of these on my radiator 120mm x 38mm Sunon and my radiator is outside the case also.

I am sure there are better fans though, I just didn't ask enough questions when I set up my w/c loop. I don't mind the extra noise though.

i want performance and low noise! LOL. im already complaining about the noise my fans make now LOL

Lmao yea I am sure there are quiet fans with great performance. Like I said I never asked any questions regarding that. I also like all the space inside my case, I would hate having a HUGE hs that could possibly break the mobo

From what researched so far, there are two primary styles of rads:
Low CFM/Low Density and High CFM/High density. Low CFM rads are designed to use low CFM fans for good to moderate performance with a lower fin-per inch density; using the sheer fin area of the rad to transfer the heat into the surrounding air. The combination of a great suface area, and some very low rpm/low cfm fans can make a very quiet cooling solution.

High CFM/High Density rads have a greater density of fins per inch, and thus require higher CFM/Higher pressure rated fans to perform, but due to their extra heat transferring area, they can greatly reduce load temps, and keep delta temps ridiculously small.

In the end, all a LCS is, is a very over the top HSF, with the Liquid and tubes acting as Heat pipes to carry the heat away from the waterblock to the radiating area.

I would like to suggest to txtmstrjoe that we add Real-Time High Dynamic Range Image-Based Lighting v1.2 ["rthdribl"] to the "Links to Recommended Stress Testing Programs and Overclocking Tools" section.

Sure, our CPUs are all stable, but what of our video cards? Rthdribl does to your GPU what the S&M CPU battery does to your CPU. It is the fastest way to find GPU instability and/or artifacts.

To use, just turn on all the eye candy (AA, Filtering, etc) and increase the resolution until you are at 99.5% or more GPU load. Be forewarned, try to exceed 100%, and the program will crash.

Watch your GPU temps, because this sucker really roasts them.

I tried this a week ago since I seen a trusted member recommend it and I never heard of it before. Well I really prefer this over ATItool now.
