Crystallize wroteOh well... it doesn't look like the boxes I use to build.
The CPU, well, I can't see it but assume it is in the middle where I see two of the green water cooling tubes go to.
How ever I can¨t recall any CPUs that uses this upright
standard since some was it P2s or P3's.
But then again that doesn't say that much, I haven't seen it all.
Not exactly. There are two water blocks where you describe, one for the processor, one for the northbridge chipset. The top green tube enters the cpu waterblock, the bottom green tube exits the northbridge block, and the thing in the middle exits the cpu block and enters the northbridge block.
Also I can't see any RAM set ???
The ram is shot almost directly from the top. It's in the slots directly to the right of th cpu and northbridge.
It looks noisy despite the water cooling, inside chassis fans, intake blow fans ?
I prefer to keep it as quiet as possible with as few fans as possible,
It's virtually silent unless I turn up the fans on the radiator. The rear and front chassis fans are around 17db, you can't even hear the big side fan or the Power supply fan.
However, the graphics card, ram, and certain motherboard components can get quite hot, so trying to rely only on the power supply fan for air flow will likely get you a some fried components.
I see you have the PSU with the big 12cm fan, with that you shouldn't need to have any additional inside fans at all, as it serves as a internal fan also in the same time.
Also, I don't know what brand of PC you are building, obviously not a Conroe anyway, they wouldn't need that much extra cooling.
It's an overclocked Core 2 Quad Q6600. Stock speed is 2.4ghz, but this runs as high as 3.7ghz (and probably higher) depending on now hard I want to push it. Currently, it's running at around 3.55ghz and temps are in the 40-45c range using coretemps.
But it is pretty never the less
Thanks!
