okay ... time for some interesting facts ...
motherboard temp probes are wrong, but if they were right, I'd be doing load at 38C ... but considering system is reading 35C, there is something wrong ;-) I'll have external probes set up later. Right now I'm busy with other stuff.
Eheim 1060 serves me well ... but I plan to move to an iwaki pump with better flowrates when more pressure and height is added to the system. Any recommendations on models and where I should buy it? I'm so fuddlebrained right now I always forget the advice I've been given before on those pumps. The model numbers confuse me too much

All I know right now is that WMD = bad, MD = good
The northrbridge is something I'm proud of. I removed the fan and heatsink ... took the circular mounting setup, dremeled the inside out so it'd fit around the waterblock, used a carbide tip on my dremel to cut holes in it, and then cranked it to the block. This way I'm not forced to use epoxy, since these new abit boards lack the 2-hold mounting mechanism that this relies on. It works very well ... and I have a SHITLOAD of pressure on it ... so much I was afraid I might crack the core. The pictures you see are ones where I was experimenting with mounting pressure ... anything less than full pressure (you see, its kinda space off a bit in the pics, I later found that to be too lose) worried me about bending, improper contact, jostling, etc.
One of the hoses right before the Y off of the CPU (the bottom one) is a bit shorter than the one above it ... which gives me a more forgiving angle for moving it to the graphics processor. I found CPU -> northbridge -> videocard might have been neater, but had too many tight bends. Temperatures aren't a worry with my bong cooling, really. I chose to watercool the northrbridge because its louder than all of my other fans that run at 7v .... damn annoying little thing, and I was to worried about it overheating if I undervolted it.
The bong will hopefully soon be painted. Maybe I'll have time tomorrow ... who knows. I'm bringing the entire unit to Kentucky (I live in PA! 11 hour drive!) for MillionManLan ... if some of you guys are going, say hello!)
All feedback is greatly appreciated. I will answer whatever questions you guys have, and if you have any ideas on how I could make this better, let me know!
