Some of the members here have already seen my little water cooled rig before, but for those of you that haven't, here's a few pics of my pride and joy.

 

wow..nice rig you got there

 

Thanks, there has been a lot of time put into the thing. I'm really happy with the performance out of the system right now.

 

Is that one of the cases from Mountain Mods?

 

i can see that..very neat indeed

 

Any pics of the inside of your case?

 

Yup, It's a Mountain Mods U2 UFO, I started to build it some 2 years ago now. IMHO, it's one of the best cases for ease of water cooling installation. But it is a pain to take to lan Parties...........

 

Looks cool, fiery and dangerous. Nice rig!

 

Look good as ususaly sbrehm but screw the MoutainMods case as the Mozart TX is better huh

 

I wouldn't say better, different is a better way to put it. ......... Both have their ups and downs IMHO, installing a triple radiator without modding is a big plus with the Mountain Mods and I also think the Mountain Mods would be a better pick foe Lans, it's 100% more stable of a chassis (stronge). But the TT Mozart has a much nicer finish, it just looks better when put in different enviorments, like your living room..............

 

R u still using ur CPU fan inspite of having water cooling ?
I can see that in one of the pics.

 

The little 80mm fan cools both, things get a little warm when you crank up the volts to the ram to 3.6v.......

 

Thats a sweet case there...

 

eh you did post up some pictures of the inside of your case maybe not all of the pictures were loaded properly my bad

 

Ya, I uploaded 3 of the inside, I can re-load them as thumbnauls if that would work better for you.

 

Lookin good there but is it really necessary to watercool the ram on your GPU? I don't think GPU memory could generate enough heat to use a water block could it?

 

As a rule from what I've seen, no, normal ram sinks perform more than well enough for the average user. Where it does come into play is in maximum OC'ing of the GPU and the ram. I found out that by water cooling the ram, the entire card runs much cooler, there's almost no heat radiating from the card anywhere. I could OC the GPU and ram slightly higher than running just the GPU block alone. Is the added cost of the ram block worth the small gains attained with the ram block worth the added cost, that has to be answered by the end user himself. For me, I just like high cost parts to run as cool as possibe as I normally don't run at max OC's all the time nor do I volt mod my parts.
