Shit, the first time I put it together with my dad.. No leak test! lol.. Then found out the dang barb on the Fusion was miss threaded.. lol.. But still all good!

Second time I did for about the same time as you Wile. Didn't have him around!

I think all the seals are tight but I just dropped a pretty penny on my new hardware so I'll do a good leak test.

I'll post up some temps before and after just for grins!

Well got everything hooked up, tested, and installed. I'm loving the look and sound, although I shocked myself twice on the stupid lights.

I dont have a pictures due do a dead Digital Camera. I will upload a small youtube clip showing off the system and small mods I did. It'll be later this week before I shoot the video and upload it.

I have some screenies of temps on stock air cooler and with the loop. I must say Idle temps are nice :D load temps are above what I sensed would be adequate, especially the overclock load temps. Screenies to come!

Install a quirk(how do you spell that) on top then run one water line down to the bottom into a small shower head



Then have the fluid come out the top.


I think I'm going to change the phase into a water chiller.....





Now would it perform better even with dry ice/LN2 if I went and had it nickel plated first? That way I would not have the Alum and Copper mix........

How about just replacing the aluminum tube with a copper one?

No, it's adding another layer for the heat to travel thru.

Define long time. And it's a proven fact anyway, D. It's just a matter of time before the corrosion causes problems.

Hey guys I'm getting disapointed about my new loop. I'm thinking something is wrong cause my temps are crazy. Idle is nice but any overclock load temps just get out of control. My latest run was with a 3.7 on 1.3Vcore and my highest temp was 80C. I was amazed as my stock cooler is almost seeming to keep up with my loop.

My lowest Voltage overclock was 1.28V at 3.1GHz and still load temps were in the 70's. I just did a run at 3.7GHz at 1.3V and load temps peaked at 80. Whats going on?

You need new paste IMO. I would look and see if your water block is flat also.

I just looked at your loop on youtube.

Air in your system? Is your radiator getting fresh air?

My rad is mounted where the exaust psu does get pulled in by the top fan. I'm going to try moving it down so the rad box is attached to the top and see if that makes better sense.

As far as air, I think so. My res generates lots of bubbles from the swirl affect so how can I address that? I'm starting with just distilled water, should I move to something else?

distilled water is just fine

Fill it all the way up till the bubbles go away. Then tap the rad till all the bubbles are out of it.

Still I think you should repaste your CPU. You might have a air bubble(it happens).
