I've been very busy with school recently, but I've managed to make so improvements/modifications/tests over the last couple weeks on Arctic Rain. I still firmly believe it's an awesome case, as its lived up to my expectations very well, so thanks for referring people here
Recently I've been cleaning out the water cooling system, and trying to diagnose a lot of issues with the aquaero system. I'm pretty sure I'm not using the AE5 the way it was originally intended. I've removed the stainless steel wool so that way I can try the top cooler with just the water falling down. So far, it's showing some improvements over the stainless steel wool, temps seem to be running lower. The idle water temp measured at the GPU's output is typically around 24 - 26c and under full load it usually holds a temp of about 32c.
I've been experimenting without the use of the 360 radiator as well. I'm getting faster response in the water temperatures to increases in system loads, kinda like using a lighter flywheel on a car if you know what I mean. I'll post up some pictures of what it's looking like now tonight. I'll also throw up a couple screenshots comparing the performance of the computer with different cooling setups.
