Hi, I currently built a new system! The specs are:
Intel i7-920 (2.66ghz) Processor (Overclocked @ 3.2Ghz)
Asus Rampage III Extreme Motherboard
Three (3) nVidia 8800gtx Graphics Cards in sli
12gb DDR3 Corsair Dominator Ram
Antec (HCG-750) 750 Watt Power Supply
Corsair Air Series AF120 Fans (X2)
Corsair Special Edition White Graphite 600T Case
Xigmatek XOF-F1251 Case Fan
Cd/Dvd-Rw Drive With Lightscribe Technology
Two (2) Kingston Hyper X 3K 6Gb/s 120Gb SSD (240Gb) in Raid 0
Windows 7 Ultimate Operating System
Liquid Cooling:
Koolance CPU-340 (cpu water block)
Koolance VID-282 (graphics card water blocks)(X3)
Koolance MB-ASR3E (motherboard water block)
Koolance HX-CU720V Radiator
Koolance RP-1005 Reservoir and Pump with Temperature Sensors
Koolance LIQ-702 Coolant
So here is my problem... this was my old setup:
The two fans on top would pull cool air from the outside, through the radiator, and expell hot air into the case which would flow out through a fan in the back. This setup would keep the inside of my case REALLY hot.
I then tried something different.. this is my new setup:
The new setup pulls cool air from the back and into the case which is pulled through the radiator and the hot air is expelled from the top of the case. I also repositioned the drive bays to allow the intake fan in the front to push more air through. The inside of the case is cooler but the cpu temp is still around 140F... :confused:
Any ideas, suggestions, or comments on what I should do to improve temps?
Thanks
P.S. I will fix those cables in the pictures 😛

That sounds really strong, X Pack... :cool:
If you thing that your case's size is a problem for more radiators, you may consider external radiators too... attached to your system by quick disconnects...
