That pump is indeed sucking from the GPU.

I've been thinking alot about a future WC upgrade, and am sure i can fit a triple rad in the front of the armour.

But how do you guys actually keep the rad/heater core in place? zipties??

Comments like this greatly annoy me. Have you got an armour? have you used an armour? Oh whats that? No? shush then. And learn to spell.

The Armour is one of, if not THE best case available today. I cant name a single fault with it, and it has INCREDIBLE build quality. So get something to backup your 'point of view' before you bad mouth something that is kickass. Its far better than a Dragon anyday.

Yea zipties are the best

that's just cause you don't have a cm stacker!

no, I semi-agree. everyone is entitled to their opinions, so no sweat.

Dont make me eat you as well!

Theres just something about the Armour that appeals to me more thean the CM. I think its the fact its more shiny and OTT, whereas the CM is quite a modest looking case. It doesnt shout at you. Not until Soloz mods it atleast

How is that pumped wrong.

It goes

Pump -> Res -> Rad -> CPU -> GPU -> Pump

It's correct. I'm getting 31*C idle on the GPU and 34*C on the CPU. With the CPU loading on Prime95 the Load temp is 42*C and 33*C on the GPU

Also, those are Zalman RAM sinks that I got for $8 through somewhere. Ended up being $20 for 2 sets. I did have a minor leak in the Res plugs but nothing major. The tubing into the blocks were fine, no leaks for 2 hours the res plugs were the only problme but I fixed it

My rad/heatercore is standing up by iteself with the tubing. Also the width is 5.25" so it fits snugly in the drive bay

should have the intake of the pump after the res.

edit: oh no! I just looked at my rep

quick someone make it 777!!!

Its not exactly 'wrong', but you'd get better temps from

Pump->CPU->GPU->Rad->Res->Pump.

More flow through the CPU and GPU is better. The speed of the flow through the rad doesnt matter as much. You could say slower flow through the rad is better, as it has more time to dump its heat. The res can be farthest from the pump, as it isnt affected by how fast the water is moving through it.

EDIT: Lol, take a screenie and set it as your avvy ^^

GatorLCA · 06-01-06

I dont think it matters too much where it's at as long as it's the lowest point. If it's sucking it's putting out just as much head as if it's pushing, it's all moving the same speed. The flow is fine. I don't have AS5 on my CPU (waiting for the Opty) so temps will drop a little bit on load, using the Ceramique

noxious89123 · 06-01-06

It probably wouldnt make much difference at all, if any. Plus it'd be a ***** to take it out and rearrange it now anyway.

Here's an avvy i made for you soloz. Took me about 10 minutes.

GatorLCA · 06-01-06

I looked at a review of both of these blocks and when OC'd the temps are spot on and I'm only using Ceramique, once the AS5 goes on and using a CCB1E (lower volts) I'll get a few degrees
