What is with the fans fallin in the back, other then that looks good
it takes talent to oc? more like a good balance of balls and knowing when to call it quits(lack of words to describe second one)Equalizer said:Thanks for the comments. I actually bought the case a few months before I even planned the system. I wasn't really sure if I liked it or not, but It was the best case of choice and only cost $110. I have since then come to love the case.
My 3dmark05 score was 11439. I just ran the test from a straight boot and nothing is OC'ed on the system. It's running on a 4000+ San Diego chip. I'm sure someone with more time and talent than I could probably get a better score.
i say experience. having a good feel for what you're hardware is doing is important.ryuji said:it takes talent to oc?
the D5 is higher performing then most AC pumps, im pulling cool air into my rad from outside my case, heat inside the case gets gone fast and doesnt build up i see no issues with internal water cooling my 1.55v max prescott and 1.4v 6800, (6800 idles at 40C 48 load, prescott at 45 idle ~52 load) all with a 80F ambienteastvillager said:it isn't practical if you're going for top performance, which would appear to be what he is doing.
You don't want the pump in the case generating heat... and you don't want it on your PS either.
You don't want to use internal(relatively hot)air to blow over your radiator, either.
That kind of mirrors my take on watercooling, after building a couple wc'd rigs myself. If you're not going for a sweet overclock, don't bother with watercooling. I just built mine to prove I could, then moved on.

considering most people run a64s nowdays, no reason whatsoever to say that internal water cooling isnt any good for cooling quiet/silent if i can do quiet with my prescott keeping in mind i have one of the 'leaky' prescotts heat wise
i am eventually getting phase change for my cpu(my friend can build me a sick one for the cost of parts which is about $300) and just use the water loop to cool w/e i can get water blocks for phase change isnt happening for a year or two tho, im saving it as a performance boost since my friend used to run this cpu at 4.8 ghz

a. yep, thats why fresh air hits my radiator FIRSTeastvillager said:a. The lower the temp of the air you push/pull over/across your radiator the better. You can agree with this, right?
b. Ambient air temp will almost always be lower than air temp inside your case. You can agree with this, right?
c. Pumps generate heat and vibration. You can agree with this, right?
d. Pumps draw current. You can agree with this right?
c. my pump is silent, my suspended on rubber band hdds are louder then my pump(maybe i got a elite perfect silent at full speed one)I've yet to find a pump with a reasonable flowrate that doesn't generate more noise than a couple 120mm 7v fans+passive northbridge+arctic silencer.

ryuji said:xp-120, those 80mm fans look real small
why dont you run the wires behind the mobo

compussr, there the copper shielded ones, wouldnt trust my data to unshielded rounded cables that are THAT longshoney said:Where'd you get those long IDE cables?
and that is very clean!

find me some bitchin long flat cables and ill switch any day, problem is there hard as hell to find at that 3 foot length i needaltec said:No good dude.

ryuji said:run the wires so they pop out behind the mobo, this pic should get my point across well(its a old pic and i dont try to make a hidden part of the comp pretty)
theres the front of it again, look at where the wires go
