Notes

Dual Loop Water Cooled, with external radiator Box Primarily used for audio (Cubase) and video (Vegas) editing, with gaming thrown in. Not into a lot of bling, so no fancy lights or fluid dye, etc. Used in small studio, and went with external radiator box, so I could put it in another room. I run the hoses under a door to my furnace room, which is usually very cool. This way fans, noise and heat go in other room, and my tiny studio stays quiet and cool. Old big machine would heat my room up 10 to 20 degrees. I tapped a 12V power wire from the main computer and ran a wire to the radiator box, so when you turn on the PC, it trips a relay to power up the radiator box. Also included over ride switch, so I could leave the pumps on, even after the computer is turned off, to continue to cool the rig after a hard session of gaming. Have a USB cable running from the Aquacomputer Aquaero (I had it laying around from an old build) to the computer, so I can monitor loop temps, and flows on my computer using the Aquacomputer software. The computer is virtually silent, and can turn the fans down it needed for recording. Just getting round to benchmarks and over clocking.
