its pretty damn sweet, its completely fixed my Never winters nights: mask of the betrayer extreme low fps issue, i can now even run every single setting maxed @ 1920x1200 smooth and apparently with a very high fps reguardless of my 2900xt's clock speeds :)

same with unreal tourny 3, every maxed out, vsinc, i dont get less than 58ish fps, when uncapped im running 90-100+fps. intensive battles, lots of carnage maybe as low as 70fps :)

memory bandwidths breaking 10k in sandra, and when gaming etc i can run all sorts of crap without worrying about bogging down the cpu.

However, about the cooling, i think im gonna need to upgrade to 1/2" tubing, which sucks as im gonna have to do alot of replumbing etc, as Todd, the guy who assembles the Arctic Webs is getting -9C idle on his QX6700 @ 3.7ghz, and 6C load, Im still certain that the core readings are erronious, and im not even 10000% certain that the cpu temp is accurate :rolleyes:

You may not have to go to 1/2". Try putting a second pump inline with the first. That should easily overcome any flow restrictions.

I am going to get a Thermaltake Armor when my tax return cash comes in. Mainly because my bro has a Kandalf and i need more space for bigger cards. My good ol Super Lanboy is not cutting it in terms of space.

Woohaa! Damn that's fast :eek:

I can't even imagine the time it took you to do all of this..

That CPU cooler.. I have never seen one like that ever before. Is it new on the market??

the cpu cooler is kind of a re-done job of the original dominator TEC cooler.

I have a pleasent 9C load when gaming for several hours @ 4.4ghz

superpi and everest cache/mem bench:

Mandalore why dont you purchase a temp diode so you can confirm the real temps...? Half inch tubing is a good idea as well as a second pump :p

Cause the temp diode wouldn't give real cpu temps either. In an environment like that, there's too many variables to calculate core temps from temps at the IHS with a diode. All he would essentially know is the temp of the pelt.
