I wouldnt pay too much attention to the # scores. The words dont match the # close enough to be accurate.

This mod just keeps getting better, Excellent work

thanks for support, man!

btw, I decided to add a DANGER DEN RAD-3310 STEALTH GTS 120 between the cpu and gpus to get a more efficient cooling process...hopefully!

just a quick check on the temps [ WC COOLED GFX ]

room temp 28 C (Summer has hit us hard... its 34C outside :eek:)

NOW: (CLOCK) -- IDLE -- GAMING -- BENCH

CPU (3 GHZ) -- 35C -- 40C -- 42C (+2 due to ambient, +2 due to GFXs included in the loop(compared to only CPU WC))
CPU (4 GHZ) -- 39C -- 45C -- 51C (SERIOUS HEAT BUILD UP...soon to add an extra rad to the loop)
GFX1 (780/1000) -- 38/44/50 -- 41/48/60 -- 42/50/62 (GPU/MEM/VR) (JOB WELL DONE)
GFX2 (780/1000) -- 42/46/52 -- 44/50/60 -- 46/53/63
GFX1 (820/1100) -- 41/45/53 -- 45/51/61 -- 48/54/65
GFX2 (820/1100) -- 44/47/55 -- 47/52/62 -- 50/57/66

In average I got an increase of about 3C on the CPU and a HUGE DROP of about 8-14C on the GFX components!
