very nice! pretty much identical to the setup im planning on building. how much air do those fans move?

Very nice but I have to ask, did you really need a triple rad for just your cpu or are you adding gpu water blocks later?

I have a similar system in an Armor but I've also got the nv78sli dual gpu water block from danger den (same cpu block and pump) but I've gone with a 2 x 120mm rad inside the case taking up 6 drive bays in the front behind the mesh covers. It took a little modding with a couple of L brackets and a drill but it keeps the rad inside the case, didn't like it hanging out the back on my old Tsunami case, which is why I got the armor.

na i bought the tripple orginally to cool the graphics card too, but i tried teh heatsink on that and it didnt work out very well at all. So i went to Cpu loop only, but i found that teh radiator external from the case makes the radiator much much more efficent. Heat in case, room tempterature outside of case. pretty simple. yeah but my Resivor likes to heat up i gotta get a bigger one or remount it.

Nice setup. Time to test that puppy out, and see if the trifan rad is overkill. Time to let 'er rip, and see what she'll do.

Nice one dude.

wow noob, you have the inlet and outlet of the storm wrong. the water should enter at the center where the jets and pins are.... if you inject the water from the side... its probably the most POS waterblock you'll ever use.

is the thermaltake bigwater 745 good enough to cool a conroe e6600 (entry 4mb cache version) if i overclock it with a fsb of around 400mhz (1.6ghz qdr) or do i need something to cool the northbridge as well as that -no doubt- will get hot on a 1.6ghz fsb :lol:
