1st of all. I got my system all setup, I love the noise level. Even with my fans at full blast I would guess my DBA level is no more then 36dba... I got alot more goodies to top off my cooling system..

I have a cystalfontz lcd display thats fully programmable using VB, and I have a couple cold cathodes on the way, black and a red one. Couldn't make up my mine wheter I wanted red or black so said screw it and grabbed the red and black one.

I'm also replacing my panaflo m1a with a h1a, and I ordered 4 panaflo u1a's. This will be wired into my lcd display, and I'm gonna program them to come on with cpu usuage not temp... if a certain level is sustained for so long, I would like the fans to spin up more. I would go with the digidoc but they can't control your fan level and the module I purchased can. So thats why I'm gonna get nice high flow fans, that way on hot summer days if I need to I can really fire them babys up, plus when I play games noise doesn't really bother me.

Temps are pretty good. Ambient right now is about 24C, my system temp is 25C and my cpu temp is 35C before at this abmient temp my idle would be pushing 46-47C and I'm overclocked higher now too. Here's a cpuid screenie of what i'm running. this is at 1.825 vcore also.

I got some questions though, my radiator is mounted here. (see pic)

Here's a shot with it in place and everything going from the front of my case.

What I wanna know is, do you think this might at all be causing any negative effects on my water cooling? I really haven't done much testing with the front intake fans at diffrent settings, cuz I did notice it takes much longer for the cpu heat up to full load and cool off to idle. Frankly I don't really have that much seeing as I use my computer work. I don't know my water temps, but my ambient as of this moment is 24C, system temp is 25C and my cpu temp is 35C and I have confirmed the accuracy of my onboard thermister and all I got to say is way to go Epox? I hooked up one to the bottom of the cpu and basically it's just slightly more responsive... When it would reach 36C it would take a little longer for the onboard thermister to read 36C other then that it was usually right on, or at most a 1C off.

Like I said ambiet 24C, sys. 25C, cpu 35C.

Here's how my setup is now, I redid from the previous pictures, this way netted me about 2 to 5C cooler temps depending on my fan level and my ambient temps. either way it's cooler then how I had it before.

Here's a quick block shot, yes I know I need to get rid of the dust, adds character though
