New watercooling build

[Xed]

First, thanks to aigomorla for answering all of my questions.

Parts -

Cpu block - Ek Supreme
Pump - ddc 3.2
Top - Xspc Res Top
Case - Antec 1200
Rad - Thermochill pa 120.3 /w Noctua nf-p12's

I'll be adding a gpu block once I decide which to upgrade to. I also haven't done any wire management so it's a bit messy. After waiting 24 hours for leak testing I just wanted the damn thing up and running =)

I removed all of the 3.5" drive bays and mounted the radiator in the front of the case. I also moved the hard drive into a 5.25" bay under the dvd drive.

Cpu Idle temps (Real Temp 2.6)

Room temp 72f

core0 - 27c
core1 - 31c

Max load (after 3 hours of prime)

core0 - 38c
core1 - 42c

Idle is about 12c less and load 25c less than I had on air, and much quieter.

A few pics below.

Dam. Antec learned something from 900. The mobo location is further down. More space for a big cooler. 1200 looks decent & has lot of space to work with. Those are nice temps.

ahahahah simple and clean!

and yes those are nice temps.

Those are the new noctunas right? not the old ones with the thin blades?

The new ones i heard are great, if its the old ones.... well maybe you should invest in yates @ 3 dollars each.

Just get kaze ultras 3k rpm and drop them on a controller.

You'll get very close to san aces at half the cost.
