Atlast i got some time to reinstall my watercooling system after a fair bit of problems.
pic of my first build
first it was installed in a 3800x2 system with an xfx 8600gt
next a e2160, p5k-vm and the same 8600gt
then a q6600, 680iLT, 2 x 9600gt in sli
and finally, now, with a q6600, maximus formula, 2 gb dhx and 2 gb xms2 pro ram and a diamond hd 4850.
i purchased the watecooling stuff from US last december and here are its specs:-
cpu block: d-tek fusion ----------------------$54
chipset block: swiftech mcw30 (not using as the block doveloped an 'irreperable leak, in its delring top) --------------------------------------------------$19
gpu block: aqauextreme mx-1 and swiftech mcw60r (which im using now) ---------------$39
pump: swiftech mcp655-b @1200lph, 3.1m head - and without speed control. -------------------------------------------------------------$70
radiator: swiftech mcr-320qp 3x120mm with 1/2" metal barbs- ---------------------------------$54 + $2.5
tubing is a mixture of clearflex pvc tubing, and locally available pvc tubing
coolant used is car radiator coolant with de-ionized water
The remaining specs of my pc:-
processor- q660 g0
motherboard- asus maximus formula
ram- 2 x 1gb corsair xms2 pro 800mhz (with real time led activity display)
2 x 1gb corsair xms2 dhx 800mhz
gpu- diamond hd4850
fans- 5 x logisys red led fans @65cfm
3 x delta ffc series fans @ 200cfm
2 x 4cm fans directly mounted on the nothbridge heatsink
subeamtech 7 x fan speed controller, 3 x temp sensors
logisys- dual 12" UV ccfl
casing- coolermaster cm690
psu- coolermaster extreme power 600w psu to power the main components
generic psu to power the fans, fan controller and cold cathodes
here are the pics:-
pic of the pc before the mod/ installation of the watercooling system. notice that the radiator is mounted at the top. this is usually where i used to mount the radiator and the main reason why i bought this casing as it can house a 3 x 12cm radiator inside. this time around it won't be in the same location!
the components:-
the monsterous delta 12cm ffc fan which can blow a massive up 22cfm of air (and consume 24w)
the ram with the tv tuner and the stock cooler off the 4850
the hd4850 with the water blocks installed; top:- with the aquaextreme water bolck, bottom:- with the swiftech mcw60r which i will be using
the dtek fusion waterblock on top of the motherboard with 2 x 4cm fans installed on the northbridge heatsink
the waterblocks
swiftech mcp655 pump opened
components stripped out from my current system

the radiator was first installed with 3 delta ffc fans mounted on top of it
next the psu, pump and reservoir were installed.
the waterblocks were placed to estimate the piping route. i had to make sure that the bends were not too tight as it could 'pinch' the tubing before cutting and routing the pipes.
the fans were installed in the top and front. the motherboard, and 4850 were installed with the waterblocks to create a mockup. the tubing was then cut as required and clamped and then the motherboard and graphics card were removed so that leak testing could be carried out.
then the system was leak tested. all joints were covered in tissue paper to detect any leakage. when a leak was found the pipe clamps were adjusted till there was no leakage. the pump was left running for about 10 hours to be sure there was no leakage in the system.
and finally the system was assembled. first the motherboard, gpu, ram and other expansion cards followed by the hard disks, uv lights, dvd drive, fan controller etc. pics of the assembled system:-
its alive!
xms2 pro ram with their real-time led activity display
and now for some uv reactive fun!
