The lighting in my room is not a true white, it's RGB LED stripping so that's why the color is off. The vent on the back really helps reduce humidity in the room. It's connected to a cardboard panel I have in my window

So I had some free time this weekend to do some more mods on my build. I decided to try installing RGB strips in the cooling system, and have them react to the thermal load on the system. The Aquaero 5 has a RGB LED controller, but each channel is limited to 20mA of current, and hooking up the strips directly to the AE5 would either fry the driving circuitry, or just simply not work. So I found a couple N-Channel MOSFETs on an old Nvidia card rated for 12.5A of continuous current, that the 5v signal the AE5's LED controller could control.

The bottom:

Getting the strips taped down and secured. All I had was duct tape, so don't hate.

Started to rework the setup for all the hoses that connect everything up:

All the new tubes cut and hooked up

This is the result:

As you can see, the system starts off a cool blue, indicating the heat output is low. Once it starts to warm up, it fades to a dark orange, indicating a high thermal load. When the cooling system turns on, the system fades back to the cool blue color, and the cycle repeats.

I've been experiencing a lot of major electrical issues with my computer. Whenever it powers down, the power supply seems to be switching everything on and off very quickly. I pulled the motherboard and PSU etc. out and have it all hooked up on my desk with one of the pumps to run the radiator. Hopefully everything is ok.....

Seems after some diagnostics, the motherboard is messed up. It causes the computer to rapidly power the PSU on and off. Which I know for a fact is not good for the hardware. I'd rather not kill the 2600K and the GTX670, so I don't want to risk using it. :/

So I bought a Sabertooth Z77

Going to paint the thermal armor all a nice matte white. I'm also considering re painting the entire computer matte white.

A white Sabertooth would be pretty hot! My nearby Microcenter has some open box Saberooth motherboards, which I've been considering, along with an extra processor purchase...

What paint did you use for your plastic parts, by the way? Going to be working on a BitFenix Survivor case soon (stock white) when it finally gets to me. I've tried Krylon Fusion so far, but I'd read about someone having good experience with Rust-Oleum's high heat range.
