IT IS DONE AND IT WORKS!!!
Here's some pics...
Video card temps under full load are about 60C. Haven't tested the CPU temps yet.
I want to give my thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. All your posts helped me build my first water cooled system. Again, many thanks!!
No, I didn't have to mod anything. The only thing I did was remove the hard drive cages.
I'm more impressed the Black Ice GT fit on top. If it were any larger it would be a problem.
Alright guys, here's a quick update and another question.
I now have all the essential parts and can put this loop together at anytime, but before I do, I'd like to have your thoughts on my plan. Also, what is the best way to construct the loop so I can easily bleed it? Should I add a...
It's to late, I already pulled the trigger on the RX240 and Stealth.
If the Stealth doesn't fit in the top then I will stack the Stealth with the RX240 and mount them both in the front. Then I'll get a RX120 and mount it in the rear if needed.
Ok guys, thanks for the advice so far!
I think I'm gonna mount an RX240 in the front and a Black Ice GT Stealth 240 on the top. The Black Ice is gonna be a tight squeeze, but I think I can make it work. That's as much radiator as I can fit in this case.
What do you think?
Ok, thanks for the advice! I'm gonna ditch the thin radiator option and go with a bigger one. To make additional room, I completely removed my hard drive cages. Now I should have enough room to go with a decent sized radiator, while allowing for some nice air flow.
Here's a pic with what...
I am building my first water cooled system and plan on only applying the water cooling to two 7970s. The case I'm using for this build is a Define R4.
So far I have purchased two XSPC Razor Waterblocks for the 7970s, and plan on buying the following major components to complete the build...
I need to create a basic standard for the implementation and configuration of firewalls for a mid-sized business. Does anyone know where I can find a sample document of a firewall standard?
Thanks in advance!
I just bought a 2nd GTX480 to SLI my rig for BF3, but I lost my SLI bridge! Where can i get another? Also, do I need to get two? It seems the GTX480 has slots for two bridges. Thanks in advance!
If you're hoping to play games that look like this, I'm going to say save your money and buy something better. I don't want to scare you away from PC gaming, but my video card cost more then that entire computer.
I understand that the logic is limited as to what the optimal settings should be, but it should be able to set setting that would run the CPU stable. If not, I am thinking there is a fault in the CPU, and perhaps that should be RMA'd.
The more I think about this, I am leaning toward the CPU...
I already did RMA the motherboard. The problem was present on both boards. Also checked all temps. Everything is in normal ranges. Like I said before, the only things that haven't been thoroughly tested are the PSU and CPU. I think my next step is an RMA on the power supply, and if that...
Yes, I have tried Muskin and Kingston. I Also did try testing with all non-essential hardware removed. No luck!
Here's a report from WhoCrashed...

I'm talking BSOD. This is no driver issue. I even had it BSOD on me while booting off the Windows 7 setup CD.
I think you are right on with this. The real question is- why isn't the system running stable when I load the "optimal settings" choice in the bios? What would cause the need to add...

I just purchased a H17 Bluetooth Mic. I was able to pair it to my PC (running Windows 7 x64) without any problems, but I'm having trouble using it with all my applications (specifically Vent, Teamspeak, and Sound Recorder). Oddly, it works with Skype. When I go to the sound configuration under...
Is anyone else using an X-Fi Titanium card with a Rampage III Extreme? If so are you experiencing any crackling issues?
For the most part it sounds ok, but I do hear the sound crackle on occasion. I'm specifically hearing crackles every time I start windows and the "Windows Logon" sound...
I'm very confused and need some help. I'm right in the middle of a new system build and have run into trouble with my CPU cooler. It seems that the Zalman CNPS9900ALED does not fit on my Rampage III, even though the CNPS9900ALED supports LGA 1366 boards. The screws on the cooler simply...
