I'm curious Gurdas as to why you have not watercooled your GPU as well.
Or do you think your Rad will not be able to remove the heat from CPU/NB/HDD & GPU?

Those ribbons arent staying for long.

Reason I didnt watercool the gpu was because its pointless adding another heatsource in the loop when a passive job will be just as good. A gpu waterblock would have cost me the same price as the zalman gpu heatsink but its just easier and more efficient not to watercool it.

Thats a fantastic idea, must remember that

Well.........hasn't caused me too many problems. Watercooling the CPU, GPU & NB & getting load temps of 47.5 deg C at the meoment.
This is compared to load temps of 58-62 deg C with my SLK900 air cooling

Dont play games, I would be more than happy with my old GF2 Ultra, just the oppurtunity came up to get a new one around £60 and I got a R9000 pro and im very happy with it. I spent £400 on the gf2 ultra and I wont make that mistake again

matskiosaurus · 10 Sep 2003 at 22:00

£400?? bargain!
In that case ill offer you 350 2nd hand?

j/k, think my gf2 was about 200 quid when i got it, and that was donkeys years ago

as long as it takes voltage - volt mod it

ironman · 11 Sep 2003 at 17:02

Volt modding/overclocking the graphics card will make no difference to me, thus the reason I didnt.

Mr Gimp · 27 Sep 2003 at 22:33

What size is your case mate? (HxWxD) I cant believe how bloody cool it looks, and i thought mine looked the dogs danglies!

ironman · 28 Sep 2003 at 02:19

Cant take any measurements at the moment but its just a normal size case. I guess Lian Li pc60 size.

Still need to get them chorme parts back, havent been bothered to collect them but ill get my mum to get them in the week.

A Twang Theme · 1 Oct 2003 at 18:25

Whats being chromed now?
I thought you had got all the bits back.
I want to see the finished product

ironman · 2 Oct 2003 at 21:08

It was some little pieces I told them to redo. Havent had the chance to collect it, dont really want my mum picking it up because I want to inspect it first.

I will put pictures up when it is totally finished I promise.

mazza7282 · 2 Oct 2003 at 22:09

so he keeps saying..............o ya and gurdas i did loose the 60 after all

Sir Random · 4 Oct 2003 at 04:48

Jeez, that's an awesome job gurdas.
Congratulations on a very professional mod, hard to believe a 16 yr old had the patience and foresight to plan it all out and execute it piece by piece without compromise. I've just finished reading the whole thread and found it very inspirational. I'll be following it to the end now

My own mod plans seem very tame in comparison.

btw, Does it have a name yet?

I suggest this goes in the Archive eventually to stop those nasty donnies pruning it. If so RTM it and let a donnie know.
