Very, very nice, I particularly like your hold down mechanism on the VRs. Good idea.
What hose size is that, and what are the springs for, to stop kinks?
How is your flow rate? I see a lot of restriction, not that that's necessarily bad depending on your aims.

Great work

Cheers

I use 8x1mm hose (8mm inside diameter, 10mm outside diameter).

> what are the springs for, to stop kinks?
Yes...

> How is your flow rate?
The CPU radiator reduces the flow at most because of the microstructure.
The other radiators and the radiator have a good flow.

> What tools did you use under the construction prosess?
Drill..

Nicely done. I particularly like the MOSFET block mount: pretty clever.

Hey very nice!!
What benefits you noticed, over volting?
Any radical overclocking results lately? Post some Testing please.
That's exactly what I was planning, good thing you got it going. I'm still thinking if it's really worth the effort.
Good news!

Hard to see the cpu block in the pics, its shadowed by the others. It definatly looks more pollished than the others, but the colour could be a reflection of the others aswell... Im going to guess atleast the top is just well pollisehd copper. I see no point in wasting silver on the top.. The bottom might be, but we can see even less of that, so I also think all copper?

Tools used: Drill? What type?
Then you must be good @ it. Others including me seem to have a hard time with a normal press.

i have to make a vdimm/vbt mod ... the ram (2x 512mb pc3200 twinmos/bh-5) needs more volt

the cpu block: icebear systems mc1 -> www.icebearsystems.de
one of the best cpu blocks in germany
Copper with microstructure.

tools for the other coolers: drill, saw, "dremel"
