Hey,

I just got the last of my parts...WOOT! Anyways, I need to find a program that can actually give me accurate temp readings. MM5 dosn't have my motherboard and Sisoftware Sandra dosn't seem to be right.

I'm going to have to hack and slash my case...I won't have any 3.5 bays when this is done.

you have a DFI...use smartguardian >_>...thats pretty freakin accurate.

use a program called mbprobe....but all these programs use your onboard sensors. So it is mostly dependent on what mobo you get and the condition it is in. Otherwise, you'll have to get yourself some external sensors to do the job if your mobo isn't recognized.

So with the leak testing. How do I test it then get it in my computer? Can I disconnect the hoses? It seems like that is the point of leak testing is to make sure you have everything tightened down.

you can test it buy connecting power to the pump with the system together running off ya psu. (assuming you know how to rig that up) you can disconnect the hoses but you just need to make sure the seal in the waterblock is working and not leaking,(the more expensive ones are pressure tested in factory) its pretty rare to get a leak, you only have to worry about leaks when taking hoses on and off the waterblock when the block is still mounted on the cpu. you could always just waterproof ya mobo and general parts with some silicone spray if worried as you do when using peltiers, just dont get any in ya ram slots, cpu socket and pci slots

No problem, you can use MBM5! Download the config file from here: http://premium1.uploadit.org/soundx98//MBMDataFinal.rar
Unzip it using WinRAR, and then copy it into your MBM5 "Data" Folder.

woot for no leaks.....I am out of my hack and slash disks for the dremel. I've got to go buy some more tomorrow. I'll take some pics tomorrow too. Only problem I have is I didn't get enough of DD MCT-5 Liquid, but I ordered some more tonight. The amount of flow is looking great!
