    i5 2500k getting too hot, new cooling solution? H80 or more air?

    That is one golden CPU. I would try to remount the heatsink to rule out just an unlucky mounting issue as was suggested. If that does not lower the temps. then you should look into better solutions.

    swivel fittings

    Swivel fittings usually are a little more prone to leaking, but really any fitting can leak if not properly taking care of/manufactured. Koolance is one of the only companies I really trust with fittings besides the higher end BP fittings.

    Cable Sleeving Thread

    Yeah don't take what I said too harshly, just figured if you wanted to really sell the product, the heat shrink job would have been better. After that explanation, I now have a better understanding of why it looks that way. I still think it looks as close to MDPC as you can get it. That means...

    Cable Sleeving Thread

    Looks like a decent alternative to MDPC, but your heat shrink job needs some work. Might have to try it to compare with some of the other sleeve I have got from various companies and review each of them.

    AT World of Warcraft Thread (Cataclysm, Where do you play, General BS and all that)

    Yeah now that I think about it that does seem exaggerated due to many times just walking away and logging off due to AFK. So probably at least 200 of those are "additional time." Still a lot of my life, but I have had a ton of fun doing it and know when to stop playing and spend time with...

    AT World of Warcraft Thread (Cataclysm, Where do you play, General BS and all that)

    I really would hate to see the amount of time /played has been put into my accounts if I could add in my sold accounts and current account that I have. I know people have some crazy amounts of single character days, but I spread it out on numerous alts. If I took a guess from pre-beta to now...

    AT World of Warcraft Thread (Cataclysm, Where do you play, General BS and all that)

    I came back around FL time and so far I have killed the normal FL bosses and did all the new daily zone. Without a solid group however to raid and the boringness of PvP to me anymore, I am thinking about quitting and just finishing up all the unplayed games I have from Steam sales. Shannox is...

    It's nice to dream.

    I would rather get a Quad G34 and save my money. And as far as I know the Quadros perform on par with regular GTX xxx for way more price for extra memory and other features.

    How do I test for watercooling leaks ?

    I would go with what everyone else has already stated. Go with custom water or go with air cooling. These kits are nice for awhile, but are not really worth it in my opinion. If you do wish to check for leaks, just use a paper clip in the 24pin while only having the watercooling components...

    The TeAm's Great BBQ Recipe Compendium

    Let me know when you find a good instruction list to boil water. As for BBQ, I am thinking about doing some chicken thighs on the grill with some BBQ sauce added for some extra flavor.

    Need a big case!

    Right now it has my SR-2 sitting in it and it looks small inside the case :eek:. It gives me the room to upgrade from just watercooling my 2 cpus to watercooling my tri-SLI/tri-fire setup and a new dual S2011 board (basically a planned system for late 2011/early 2012 and will use basically...

    Need a big case!

    I love my TH10. But that is normally overkill for most people.

    Some F@H Questions

    Probably will be a little better, but I was just saying that could be another thing that is adding to the temps. along with a few other factors.
