So apparently everything is deleted when you edit a post and just replaces it with your edit. So...

If you want to see pictures check out my profile; http://linustechtips.com/main/special/albums/5663-my-system#post5663

But my loop is as follows:

XSPC Dual Bay Res with D5 vero pump

XSPC Raystorm on my I7-930

XSPC RAZOR gtx 680 on my GTX 670 ftw

XSPZ 280mm Rad at the top of my case that bring cool air in from the top of the case

This is my first loop and i love it. It was a lot of fun and very frustrating to put together, which is a good thing when building a computer if you ask me. When im pushing my system at over 4ghz on the cpu and over 1200 mhz on my gtx my temps stay around ~65 centigrade. But when im gaming at my normal 3.61 ghz and stock gtx boot clock setting i never break 50 centigrade on them both.

So my question to my fellow water coolers is who has used XSPC and like them. I have been very impressed my self with their products. In my opinion they are the best looking products on the market and they are certainly on the cheaper side when it comes to water cooling. I was going to go with swiftech products when i started thinking about water cooling but i really just dont think they are worth the money. And really not that great looking.

I did have my mate helping me!! That's the sad part lol. Will forever hate that reservoir! But XSPC's radiator is doing nicely: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=3C8ADD99C4CC42C3!1026&authkey=!AHQ0DzwIPFjmhLw

Hey guys just wanted to share my PC. I put a lot of time and work and planning into this. It's almost done just awaiting a PSU cover and a custom GPU backplate. Also have a few more cables to sleeve.

here is the backplate I am awaiting.

Looks amazing! Is that a Lightning edition 670 (that's what the yellow one is called right?). Cause it's a shame you had to take off the matching cooler :(

Here are a few pics of my Corair 600T, inside I have an AsRock Fat1ity Pro 990FX motherboard with a FX-8210 OC'd to 4.7Ghz. @ 1.4000V and an MSI GeForce GTX 680 4Gb. OC Edition GPU. The cooler I got from FrozenCPU (dot) com. The cooler is a XSPC Raystorm 750 RS240 Extreme Water Cooling wiht chrome compression fittings by Monsoone and UV Blue reactive tubing also by XSPC. Let me know what you guys think.
Thank you, I think it has been coming along quite well. I always like suggestions on direction and style so feel free to let me know what you think. I'll see if I can't paste a link for a video of mine showcasing the UV Blue Water cooler, and Sound Activated LED mod. It gets really good at like 6:00 minutes in if you just want to skip through :)

Oh ya, here is a video showcasing the XSPC Extreme Water Cooling Unit with the custom Sound Activated LED mod that I installed in the case. Let me know what you guys think and if there are any changes that you can think off that would help me continue with this mod :)
Thanks, I looked at what you were talking about and I can kinda of see it, so I'll go ahead and give the tubing the relief it needs. Don't know if it's going to make a difference because it doesn't look like there's that bit of a kink at all, but now that I see it I can't leave it like that :) THX

My old system: This was built in a chopped up Antec 300. Specs were i5 750, Asus board, G.Skill memory, 6950. some Rosewill 650w that was carbonfiber wrapped.

I think it was pretty good for a $30 case.

Holy crap, that's one of the most amazing WC builds I've seen to date. Clean, short efficient tubing, great cable management. Also, that RAM looks amazing. Would you mind sharing what that is? What case did you use?

In a 600T :

EK Supreme LTX

EK VGA Supreme HF

EK DCP 4.0 and reservoir combo

Phobya 200 rad (in the front) with Silverstone AP-181 fan

Alphacool NexXxos Pro II 240 rad (at the top) with 2 Gentle Typhoons 1850 fans

Masterkleer 16/10 UV tubing

Mayhems X1 coolant

1337202222-DSC03463.jpg

I'm adding an Alphacool NexXxos Full Copper rad soon (120mm, 45mm thick)

I think I did nothing special but I can tell you :

1) no use of LEDs...these things would brighten up the whole room xD

2) 2 UV cold cathodes, 30cm (mine are from Revoltec) placed away from the motherboard : on the edge of the case. almost on the windowed side panel (one on the far left, vertically, and one on the visible side of the top radiator -> this one can't shine "in the interior, towards the mobo"). It's probably because of that, that the rest doesn't light up that much :)

I hope you see what I mean. If not, I'll post a picture.

How about this:

i7 860 @ 4.0GHz

2 x EVGA GTX560Ti 2GB Edition

3.120 x 60mm Thick EK Rad in Push Pull with Bit Fenix PWM Fans

All EK Blocks and two points of liquid red awesomeness.

Also the case is two-tone :P

I must say, that looks AWESOME!

But why having a water-cooling on H77?? And on the top, push/pull w/ thin radiator?! Why not a thick rad like the RX without push/pull... And in the front you have lots of room for the RX radiator as well, maybe even push pull...

I have been so impressed with my xspc 280 ex. I am even impressed with the stock fans. I have my 930 and gtx 670 on the same loop with just that rad. And my temps are way better then they ever could of been on air cooling. Very quite to. Are you using XSPC waterblocks to?

I was doing some googling on the the stock fans because wanted to upgrade to better 140mm fans and came across a review for them over on overclocker.net. They did very well in his round up. Check it out if you are interested. Now i have no clue what to do with my fans now.

And yea, that old PC was really bright. After i moved to the 690II i got rid of all the lights except for that front blue fan, which has an LED switch.
