name sounds familiar I wonder where I got the idea from? (hope you don't mind omar!)

got these pics today from fstfrrdy, this thing looks AMAZING!!!










I've been thinking about how to run this with three ports... I've come up with a couple options and need help deciding:

1. run a Y connector from the two "out ports on the outside"

2. cap the middle port and just use the outter two for in and out

3. run one out to my NB then to the GPU and then to the res and run the other out port straight to the res

??? will any of these option be more effective than the other? Is it ok to leave my NB and GPU on the same loop with a 480gtx? I have an extra MCR 320 with a D&D 500lph pump laying around somewhere.


I'm hoping to start the log next week when hopefully everything comes in

Yup, Nice lookin block if I do say so myself!

Very nice indeed!

use the Y

Sarge, you definately don't want to cap the center barb. it is designed to be the inlet. Use a "Y" on the two return lines or better yet run dual returns to the reservoir

run dual returns, with this res, to eliminate the y, for less restriction

Oh thats a nice one....I like that stepped cold-plate. Puurty!. I always run a dual in res with triple barbs, I figure I'll get the best flow that way. I have a HDPE dual in bay res that I use when I have a case. I was going to link you to one but I cant find any, they were only about $10.

Thanks for the pic's, she's a beauty!

The brass top ones stay good a pretty long while, every-time I break my loop down I'll use a little Brasso on it. I bet Sarge know all about Brasso..

I have a copper and brass top V6 and it takes a little more work to keep the copper part looking good on it, nothing major though.

nice stuff i especially love the pic with the american flag in it cant wait to see your build log Ive been lonely ever since manyak went on vacation and as for me minding MORE THE MERRIER

my personal recommendation is that keep every part of the TEC loop seperate... since your using a pretty powerful TEC aswell ALOT of heat dump no good for your north bridge or GPU... I personally would go two loops three gets a bit hectic (as you can see in my build ) I would put the GPU and NB on the MCR320 you have the CPX-1? or db-1? as long as you use non restrictive blocks with the db-1 such as a high flowing NB block and a non-FC block like the D-tek Fuzion or the MCW-60 you should be good good luck bro
