    Hi!

    I just upload some photos from my diy watercooling system.
    I actually upgrade this for CF 7970, just i still waiting for full cover blocks.
    Will fit in next week, and will update with new pictures.

    The hardware:
    Cooler Master ATCS840
    Asus Sabertooth x79 MB cooled with Koolance MB-ASSTX79 (no pictures from this)
    i7 3930K CPU cooled with Swiftech Apogee
    Sapphire 5970 GPU cooled with full cover EK
    8X4GB Corsair Vengeance
    120GB Vertex3 SSD
    Enermax Modu82+ 625W Power
    Vauxhall Astra 1.0 Engine radiator
    Swiftech D5 pump
    Koolance flow sensor

    I living in Ireland, and we have water tank (about 100 liters) in the attic.
    Only 3 moving parts i have in the PC case.
    One fan in the power supply, and 2 DVD writer.
    All other moving parts go up to attic. (pump, and 2X1TB Samsung F1 in Dlink NAS)
    The "hot" water go to the Astra engine radiator, and radiator immersed to 100liters water tank. This water about 7-8 degree...

    I use this PC for playing Battlefield3 with Eyefinity resolution.
    The maximum CPU temp 40 degree, and water never go over 25 degree (celsius)

    I have new parts (Gigabyte UD5 and 2 X 7970), and can't fit, because i can't fit CF GPU without water blocks in this MB.

    The pictures here:

    Nice, but the reason is the "noiseless" pc, why i going to watercooling.
    And u have lots of fan with lots of noise.

    Fan controller works wonders with lots of fans. Keeps the noise to a minimal minor hum. :)

    This! :D
