    Yes it is a nice block ...

    Not much progress today, busy with other things, besides I am waiting for the AC dualtop. When it arrives I will finnish this "upgrade". Untill it arrives, hopefully tomorrow, nothing much to do really.

    So stay tuned ...

    Finally received the dualcover for my pump. And a lot of thanks to Aquacomputer whom sponsored my build with this dualtop!

    It was not that my previous dual-top didn't work, but is was bigger and lacked the flexibility that this one has with respect to inlet and outlet ...

    Anyway, here is a few pictures to give you an impression of the new loop.

    Thought I should produce some daylight pictures today, but it was already dark when the we returned home ...

    Anyway, a small goodie arrived yesterday. A black bezel for AC multiswitch. I have been waiting over two years for this. Time to retire my self made bezel ...

    [​IMG]

    The self made vs the new AC bezel (can you tell the difference?)

    [​IMG]

    And the new one in place ..

    [​IMG]

    And yes, I will change my self made bezel for the poweradjusts, when they produce one in black ...

    So long.

    drbo :cooldude:

    PS! I know my Camera sucks, be the new one (Canon 550D) is ordered, but not in stock yet ...

    That's a sweet build. The straight line of tubing going from GPU to the motherboard block is very neat.

    Are your temps crackin'?

    Yes, the new loop is very efficient ... thanks Stonedsurd

    The flow, is a little bit slower the previous loop ... I guess that the combination of a more restrictive CPU block, and the flexibility of the dual-top (for the pump), makes for drop in flow from 120 L/h to 110 l/h.

    But the temperatures has also dropped a little, that is the CPU temp has dropped. But this is also hard to state clearly, since I changed CPU, and I don't have the old one to compare.

    But i now run comfortably with water temps around 30C (29-31 before after radiators), in a summer room of 26C, in a typically multitasking working situation when running everything @stock (you could get a glimpse of my thems at the last picture in the previous post). I will post a picture from aquasuite later today, when Im back home.

    Ahh - perfect job again as always :) Aquacomputer should hire you!

    Did you post a picture with the new poweradjusts mounted?
    I guess I have to come and and see for my self :D

    Oddly enough we have almost identical water temps - but I only have a flow of 35l/h from my aquastream.
