I see alot of people using the OCZ ramsinks, but I don't know about using them with the LP Maze 4.

the build is done, my temps arent even all that great. My idle ranges from 32-26. It jumps up and down. My room is kinda hot though. Gimmie a few minutes and ill go grab the camera. I forgot to fun the wires for the neon lights. Doh!

Did you lap the Apogee? What kind of water are you using? Maybe it's a flow issue?

there u go guys, i could't figure out how to turn the flash off on the camera.

My overall thoughs on the build..Not worth it. Ive spent 400 on just the water cooling itself and im only a few degrees below my BT. Idle temp went from 38 to 32 and load went from 48 to about 41
My gpu dropped about 10 degrees from the stock cooler.

But Ive spent a lot of money and I didn't get the satisfaction I thought i would get when I competed the build.

Well, first of all, your temp drop is quite significant (load is what matters). Second of all, it's been friggin hot out, who's to say that your ambient isn't all that great. That's definately an issue. Third of all, I think you have a flow problem because it looks like there's a lot of head traveling all the way up to the radiator and then pulling it back down. We may have to try putting the pump up higher, but I don't know if that might help.

Also, we need to do some cable management

Also, two other issues that may be the problem... Did you run the loop outside of the case to *ensure* there are no bubbles? Maybe that grill on top is holding back a lot of air, we might have to do some more cutting and get a rad grill less restrictive. Also, maybe we can fit a shroud in there somehow, apparently people claim there is a 40% difference in performance of the rad.

there is no air in the system, I ran it outside of the case for 4 hours making sure. There really isn't anywhere else that the pump can go. Besides, the d5 has a 10 foot head i think. Its only a foot going up to the rad.
