Hey guys I just finished up my first watercooled project and let me know what you guys think of it. I know the cables are still a bit messy since I havn't had time to finish to make it look all nice (since it's my primary computer) but let me know what you guys think of it.

Lian Li PC75b
Innovatek Dual Radiator Core
Innovatek Reservoir V 1.1
Dtek White Water Block (alumnium top)
Danger Den 12v Water Pump
Ultraproducts Ultra X-Connect UV Green 500w PSU
Enermax Clear Blade 120mm fan
Cooler Master 80mm Fan
ASUSTeK A7N8X-E
Athlon XP 3000
BFG 6800 OC Unlocked to 16x6
PQI Turbo Ram 2-2-2-5 2x256mb
2 Seagate 7200rpm 200gb
Microsoft Elite Wireless Keyboard/Mouse

Everything's been converted to 1/2 ID fittings from Innovatek 1/4 system. My computer is at 41°C idle and motherboard is at 30°C at stock settings (2.1ghz with ram timing of 2-2-2-5 @ DDR400). However I was able to push my computer to 432 DDR 2.8v @ 360FSB with the samsung TCCD @ 2.25ghz athlon xp @ 46°C . I was unable to get my motherboard to boot into windows without lock up @ 420DDR @ 210FSB @ 2.35ghz but it did manage to past POST so I suspect it was a motherboard issue. But I will do more testing tomorrow or the day after.

Looks great! Don't ya just love that case! Keep a close eye on that res. I have seen them crack and fail for no apparent reason. Get 512MB more ram and you'll be styling!

thanks dude :) yeah I love the case and I got it for a great price but yeah I heard about the innovatek radiator leaking only when the O-ring seals are bad at the base of the reservoir. The reservoir is made of hard glass you can say? It's not acrylic as using in those bay rez.

I have no idea, ever since I've got this cpu it's been getting higher than normal temps. with a thermalright ALX 800 w/ vantec tornado I only manage to get 48°C on air cool on idle according to the bios but the noise was so loud I couldn't take it it anymore and I ended up putting on a 34CFM fan and my idles are near the 55°C and on on load it would spike up to 65°C + So I guess a 15-20°C drop is good but I wish it would of been near 35°C or so on idle but with my current setup I havn't seen it go over 50°C on load after playing 2 hours of HL2.

ya 41 seems rather high for a wc setup, might wanna double check that the waterblock is seated correctly, or make sure u didnt put too much thermal compound
