that WildCat4 is one bloody fast bugger... I wonder what HL2 will run like on it... what do u use it for modelling? 3ds max? or maya? or lightwave?

I'm using...a Wildcat 4 7210 384meg 256-bit DDR Dual processor 8x AGP VGA card so I have 2 blocks for that and one more for the southbridge. the blocks are by WaterChill.

sorry small typo....the water block is for the NORTBRIDGE. the southbridge is fan cooled.

That's a nice setup dude - the aquarius tubes fit onto those waterchill blocks properly without modifcation, or what did u have to do to em, and what do they run for. Now, i take it you followed asetek's zip tie method for mounting the morthbridge block?

Nope I used my own tubing for the Asteks, I only used the original tubing for the CPU block. Obviously I also used T and Y connector tubes where necessary.

To mount the northbridge block I used thermal epoxy about 1cm wide around the edge (very strong stuff) and a dab of arctic silver 3 in the middle.

Oh - so how did you fit these larger tubes unto the pump with the smaller ones - y junctions with 2 different fitting sizes?

nope, straight hard plastic tube adaptors...large on one end small on the other, and plenty of silastic clear boat sealent and tube ties.

Oh - makes sense.

One final note. Ppl are asking me about the timer.
The timer only runs the water cooling NOT the thermo electrics. This is so the water cooling removes any leftover heat in the peltier plate and in theory also quickly removes the leftover heat in the CPU after shutdown, reducing heat stress. (whether it works or not it still looks cool )
