Default my first attemp!!

Well here it is.. (no pics atm) but keep reading!

I bought the Swiftech H20-220 Off of Newegg

Just installed it, did a 3 hour leak test, was fine...

Installed it, was just about to hook up cables, and dumb me didn't look.. And the GFX card cable from Monitor to GFX was to long.. Dam rad was to close to case, so I had to mount one of the two fans that came with it, on the outside of it...

Like this:
: = Fan | = RAD

:|

Hope that' don't bother the temps..

Anyways, as a n00b at water cooling, this was great for me to get my feet (lol) wet and learn it. Kit was easy, manual easy.

Temps Air: 44-48c IDLE
Load: Don't even ask..

Temps Water: BIOS reported 31c-33c IDLE
Load: 55-60c

Room: A/C set to 68F all the time, being upstairs... 74F maybe.

Those temps not bad?? I like it, dropped 8-10c. I'm asking because it's my first time on water

Thanks!!

P.S. Anyone getting this kit.... people who wrote the manual, saying add like .5 L, is crazy.. I had a crap load left over, just put it in a Jam jar, seal it. Save it.

Those temps are a little bit on the high side. What Type of TIM (Thermal Interface Material) are you using? Other than that I see no problem with you're loop. Though, I would like to see some pictures of the Loop
