SharkFin

Wow, this will be epic.

Though I'm not sure that tubing will work xD

Maybe try hard tubing it with copper pipe or similar? That will offer much better bends and be more controllable.

Can also help add support for the rad I suppose.

I was actually in the midst of building this EXACT same project not too long ago, but changed my mind due to the fact that i will need a higher fsb than this board can muster from my research on that Zotac board, if you wanna overclock it and get it past 380fsb you really need to keep the northbridge (MCP) cool and make sure to disable the onboard graphics in the BIOS. I was going to add a chipset block to my loop and see how far you can push it Here is another forum that has extensive knowledge about this board:

I am actually building a WC loop just for this purpose right now, and when i get my zotac back from RMA (Bricked it with the whole bad bios scandal sad) I will post my OC results. GOOD LUCK WITH THIS BUILD!! can't wait to see the results

JaCkHoLe am i right in saying i have put the block on the northbridge? Or have i put the block on the 9300 chip? Or have they been combined under that single heatsink?

Sharkfin hard tubing is out of the question. I think i can get the tubing round that. I'll use zip ties to keep the tube from kinking as much as possible. I will most likely buy a few 90 degree barbs to put in where necessary. The rad will be supported enough by the lid, it will not need anymore support.

Haha thanks :P It won't be completed for quiet a while. Got to balance it against school work. Money is also an issue. My watercooling sponsor hasn't replied to my emails in 2 months

Subscribed. What program did you do the 3D renders in? They look top notch! Should be a super exciting project to watch.

Looks like Google SketchUp, its free!
