I didn't know there was a "black water" anything out there...I just came up with that name while I was listening to some Doobie Brothers....Another Park another Sunday just didn't seem right!

I just had a birthday also...really feeling the age creeping up on me. On the bright side, I can now be a cranky Ol man....

I've got the system all buttoned up but my sli configuration is really getting warm...idle is around 52 with fans at 40%.

I think I might have to put these under water also. I will say that this case is really nice to work with for a wc rig, but I don't like it...squeeks alot for a Lian Li case.

Just not happy at the moment....to much work for these results.

Have you identified the source of the noise at all? Don't rule out a bad fan just because they are all new.

He picked great parts -- a labor-of-love in which I imagine he spared no expense.

This is the sort of thing I'd like to do myself, but with my budget, I recycle old '90s era cases and haven't made the jump to water-cooling (not even YET, Aigo!)

So -- you can have "bling."

Then -- you can have a wonderful WC-ing setup.

He's got both, I think!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: and two big toes.

Well,

I didn't go for the "bling" just wanted pieces that would perform well together, and they do. The system is uber fast, needs a SSD to complete it though. The area up near the cpu is a dead zone for air movement in this case...and I have since remounted my rad to the top of the case hoping to force some air movement in that area....no go, or at least not enouth...the chips get really hot to the touch.

I don't like the case at all...I'm just not a fan of big, full tower server cases...with that said the air flow in this case is dismal...and when I install fans, voltage modded or not, the sound level starts to climb back up and defeats the whole purpose of this mod.

My original goal was a small, water bases system (chip, vr's, mosfets, nb, sb, and gpu's) on a dual loop. Swiftech 355's running through dual TFC 120.2's with some 3/8" tubing and compression fittings, and low speed YL fans spinning quietly. I have failed to accomplish this and I'm cranky because of it....and every time I hear the system it just reinforces my pain.

See, I'm starting to sound like a cranky ol man.
