Solved WaterCooling Plan (No AIO)

You're right, it does. You really don't see a big difference, doing normal stuff. When you run IBT or Prime, you should see a big difference.

Yeah...that's what i'm expecting.

It lets you frustrated once installed but underneath the all setup, things are happening slowly for your goodness. Plus that feeling you get over it! I never though i will enjoy that much building a water cooling setup, you know sometimes how things can seems so far from you.

It tooks me hell of courage to decide myself and nearly a year turning around, studying, ploting parts... far more than that damn Loop!:D

Will see, now! :)

But, when you make it look as good as you did, there's the sense of satisfaction you get when you're finished. Isn't there? Then you say, all that work was worth it, right?

Well, i revised "I can get no satisfaction" way of thinking surely!

That's little self "Apogee" might not be very significant for manies in trouble nowadays but the show must go on beside that hard time life is given to us in recent events. It does touch me more than usual! :confused:

I felt paralyzed when first closing the Loop, at the idea it will last in the Pc case for a big while and it is there for real...costed me also!

Right, i am satisfied, my demanding curiosity either! :zip:

Non you got things looking and working great.

I do like that tray you make to put under the case.

I think you will find that you will get new ideas on case cooling.
You will try many things to see if cooling gets better or worse.

The fun continues while you tweak your cooling.

Thanks!
The tray was nice to do...i followed the design of the bottom of the case with the angle of the foots and reported measurement on the plexiglas. The case weight a ton now and tiny and thinned Teflon glides help a lot moving it around!

Ideas on case cooling?

My god!! I think the only thing i can do is to watch out the speed of those case fans!!

Next time (four/five month) i'll be run off thermal paste...might see if i can get a better one. Gotta see also if distilled water only or clear one is different from a colored "ready to use" with additive in term of thermal conductivity.

Beside that....i do not see what i could do more with that builded loop! :D
