My Rig

xXx
Level 10
Just thought I would post pics of my Rig. I ran my own IT company in South Africa . Water cooling gear here is very expensive . We get nailed on shipping and import duties. Our Rand is that the strongest currency arround so we dont really see many monster builds from here.

Oh, I just spotted something on the picture you (xXx) posted in your first post...

What is the coolant flow order in your loop?!

Because a right setup would be Res-Pump-Rad-CPU-Res... in that picture I'm not sure actually in which direction is the coolant going... - but you have to keep in mind with those EK blocks that they're unidirectional...

The inlet of that block is on the hole which is more centered (left side on your picture) and the outlet is the one which is close to one of the edges (right side on your picture). If you're changing that order, you will get definitely higher temps...

Are the fans directly on top of the radiator?

is the water circulating, are are the fans working..

i mean.. What prog are you using to get the temp reading?

I am using the right hole on the cpu block, as water intake..

I have dissembled this block to the bone, and i cant remember seen any difference (holes in/out)

My order is , res \pump ( Xspc 720) --block( inlet ) -- Rad and back to res \ pump. Fans are ontop of the case blowing down . Have tried bloth directions , didnt make a difference. Surely my Rad is big enough just for a cpu. Its a xspc Rs 240 ( The thick one )

What do you guys use to monitor your temps? I have been using Realtemp but now when I installed Asus AI Suit II , its says my cpu is idling at 27 ..

What am I doing wrong? I have tried shacking my pc and it weighs a ton but they keep coming back.
