I'm really liking the "floating" temperature meter, I'm so gonna steal that idea when I have next project with a side window

Thanks and go ahead and implement my temp meter idea.

Spot on..

It looks pretty... but kinda overkill cooling system don't ya think? And primary web-browsing... arghh.... could build something cheaper, quieter, better, but probably not as pretty... but then again... depends what you consider good-looking. Most of the components are inherited from my gaming rig....

The inexpensive Biostar TA890GXE offers some kind of automated fan controller, though I'm not sure whether it is based on SB880.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v97/tmwong/spc1.jpg This rig is based on a heavily modded vintage Lian Li PC70USB aluminum casing with the following key hardware; - AMD Athlon II X3 440 - Biostar TA890GXE v.5.2 - 2 x 2GB OCZ AMD Black Edition DDR1600 - WD Velociraptor 150GB - Asus 8800GTS 320MB -...

I started with stock HSF, followed by third party coolers and watercooling. Its actually quite simple. Watercooling Pros - Better cooling performance (water conducts heat way better than air) - Lower noise - Unlimited upgradablility Cons - High cost - More complicated to set up - Higher maintenance ...

So basically all you have is 2 gts 120, when I want to use a single gts240... although I know that the temps are not going to be the best, all I want is to keep everything cool and quiet... so I think your temps are a guideline to what I might get... except I'm not going to cool the chipset, so I m...

I've a MCP655 driving a CPU, NB, SB, GPU, 1 x 240mm rad and 2 x 120mm rads.

Phil

Well... just for your reference I'm watercooling an i7 and 5870. My loop setup is as follow using Artic Cooling F12 fans; Swiftech (ST) MCP655 -> ST GTX -> ST MCW-NBMAX -> Black Ice (BI) GTS120 -> ST Komodo -> ST MCW30 -> ST MCR220 -> BI GTS120 -> MCP 655. For 2 x 120mm and 1 x 240mm rads, here are ...

Question!! How did you mount your motherboard with that monster in the way?

What motherboard is that?

Thanks, the board is an Asus Rampage II Gene.

Bleeding air bubble out of my system at the moment. Temps to be confirmed, but GPU and VRM temps dropped by a whopping 18 and 26 degrees, respectively. South bridge decreased by 5c, but north bridge and CPU upped by around 1c. As for the noise level, the system is almost silent below my desk. Idle R...

Added some LEDs to light up the interior today.

Just posting to share my new relatively quiet and overclocked gaming rig. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v97/tmwong/sprc1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v97/tmwong/rigcosair.jpg MK I For my old MK I setup, please check in here.

Are you using standard 3-pin fans on the Chassis and Opt headers? And the board can automatically control fan speed with these fans? Phil As I hinted above, I'm using three Scythe S-FLEX E (1200rpm), which are 3 pin. I haven't tried any PWM fans on the CPU fan header. Q-Fan in the BIOS can automati...

You might be able to avoid the error message by setting 'CPU fan speed' to 'Ignore' in the BIOS. Thanks., but I'm pretty sure I tried that--I don't want to reboot right now to check, but I'm almost 100% positive I did. It also seemed the only way to ignore "CPU Fan Error" was to disable pausing for...

Gone modular with a Corsair HX620W.

The top open frame 120mm was recently added to eliminate hot air pocket trapped on top of the casing. I see that it`s worth having the top fan then, actually I think it should be implemented on more cases like on many recent lian li's. You could still try to remove the intake fan, air will easily f...

The rest of my gaming rig.

Enough horsepower to handle Battlefield 2 and quite acceptable for Crysis @ 1,920 x 1,200 on my beloved BenQ FP241W.

Phil

That`s a very nice system :) The cable managment is neat, especially for a water cooled machine. At first glance it looks like you could loose a couple of fans, moving the rad at the back so it can double as an exhaust and letting the psu deal with the lower compartment. http://img.photobucket.com/...

Lian-Li's cost arm and leg and are pretty hard to make really silent... Solo would be good, but its still pretty heavy case. I have a Lian Li V1000 and it's pretty quiet if you use the right components. It's also relatively affordable in Asia, too. Check out my rig here -> http://www.silentpcreview...
