Just tried my hand at a water cooled set up. After years of listening to the whine of fans 24/7, the wife complaining of interupted sleep, I decided it was time to try. Now I'm treated to what sounds like a "water fall" --- you know, the things you put on your end table or such that have some means of water running/dripping down, to soothe the savage beast...
Anyway, after taking my time ( a first!) and 3 hours of double-checking everything ( this is my main cruncher after all ) I hit the button and wa-la...the only fan I could hear is the one I left in cause it had this really cool blue glow...
Temps are holding at 43c, FaH running, music playing, downloading...I feel like I just stepped out of a hot tub I'm so relaxed, course that has nothing to do with the 6 brews I've had celabrating a successful first time install. :shocked: Plans for the future include an insulated bag with a frozen gel pack with a loop of the cooling hose runnig through it for those really hot summer days, can't wait to try it out!:thumbsup:
Got to say, the whole thing went extremely well, after doing one, could almost do it blindfolded it was that easy ( most things are in retrospect ), and best? No leaks. Woot!!
