First, very nice job on how clean the design is..Excellent work.

And the GPUs have to be cooler that way with so much unrestricted airflow (its not like the airflow from the rad is hot)

I used/modded one of those Swiftech all in one coolers and while it didnt work the best (was ok) the cool thing is there is a reg DDC pump in there and with the addition of a aftermarket top it can be used to its full advantage.

Its REALLY cool to see a great job get better and better (I wish I could keep one of my comps together long enough to refine it like this one)

Temps are about the same as they were when they were in my other build but it was a Tri-SLI. 56' idle 83 max @ load. I am however considering running a single GTX280 or pair of4890's

What settings were the fans on for those temps?

And 4890s would probably be hotter! :eek:

Thanks,

I'm think that reservoir that serves as a top for pump will fit if I go to one Video card or a dual card. I tried my PA 120.2 but push pull won't fit with long vga cards. I'm working on some Ideas so there will be another refit. :0

75% fan speed 675 core 1475 shader 1200 memory. The cards ran 700 core 1525 shader 1300 memory 24/7 when they were in tri sli.

Wow they are getting a bit hot then especially for that fan speed :/

Ugly case, but excellent setup! Most hardware is some of the best stuff out there. Great job man, I gave you an 8!

Okay guys, another refit. The Swiftec H2O 220 didn't mount well and the temps weren't always great when overclocked. I wasn't currently using my old corsair nautilus so I removed the Laing DDC pump from it, used the radiator res combo from swiftec kit and added an Apogee GTZ water block. I dropped the push/pull fan configuration as all it did was increase noise and I needed the extra space for tubing. I'm currently considering yet another refit to include either the swiftec micro res or XSPC reservoir top for Laing DDC Pump to go along with a better rad like PA 120.2 or Fessor Xchanger Dual.
