Hi guys!!!, huge thanks for the compliments... 

The h60 performed better after the mod

 

stock h60 temp:

82 degrees celcious after running IntelBurn in test @high

 

after h60 modification:

67 degrees celcious after running IntelBurn In test TWICE!! one after the other@high :D

 

it was a farely good result, so i don't regret what i did to my h60

 

"maybe because there was such amount of water added to the system that made temps lower...." :)

 

i had the h60 running for about 3hours before i installed it to my system,, 

WOOOOO great improvment. Have you considered adding another radiator to the loop? Maybe another 120 rad?

hi Tito! I think that would be it for now, I am more interested in upgrading the cpu and motherboard soon.

and next is getting myself a dremel and replace the 140cm fan in the front and put two 120's

I wasn't sure about the colour scheme at first but in that final pic it looks really nice, plus nice idea to mod the H60 into your custom loop!

That modded H60 is SICK!  I have no idea if that makes any tangible improvement to performance, but what a party piece to an otherwise low key and very clean build!

The pump of the H60 is very weak, so another 120 rad might not work.

ow,, well thats a bad news.. when i was trying it for the first time and trying to remove the air, i noticed that there is a very small amount of movement on the water, i just thought that it was fine. 

thanks for the info virusal19.

You should be because you have demonstrated that a a person doesn't need the most expensive and huge parts to make a good rig. It would be cool if you posted some bench marks of your rig.

Linus stop putting Deathadder mice in your mouth and feature this rig on the next live stream!
