Wah I thought a lot of pictures liao... heh... the rad extends outwards enough with the help of the rad box, does not block the graphics card output, otherwise I can't use my computer right

Of course with this arrangement the amount of space at the back a bit limited - a bit cramped - but no problem, I'm using a number of ports where the rad is located. Can always put the rad inside the case (if got space) or on top (if there's a way to mount)...

Edit: specially for you... I realised that on the rad photos on the first page, the angle is a little misleading, there is actually a lot more space than it appears there... see:

Will put more pics up when I 'update' my setup in the coming days/weeks...

Hey there,

Just wanted to ask, is there an AMD-compatible block or something like that?

Yes, have a look here: http://www.coolingconfigurator.com

You could contact sabe @ http://www.edge2o.com to bring it in for you if he does not have the stock

[kaixax555]

Thanks for the reference

Is it worth the money if I WC an AMD?

There is only one radiator i know where there is an issue with top placement (very hard to find that rad anyway), the others all no difference

As per the pictures on the first page, I mounted it at the back of the case

Depends on how much premium you put on silence + cooling efficiency + aesthetics... its up to you really... of course its quite strange to wc a budget rig

i was thinking whether to use to MCR Drive (pump, rad and reservoir together). quite worried about the rad blocking the ports behind. thanks for that special picture.

i last question, is your pump secured with screws?

I think there were some issues with the MCR Drive and as such it is not widely available to resellers, and from what I hear it is actually more expensive than buying individual components. You can try asking sabe about it.

The pump is secured with worm clamps, the cheaper option as opposed to compression fittings

 

[sabeee]

Looking swell!

To answer one of the questions: The MCR Drive is being revised at the moment, so probably not a good idea to buy one now, wait for the revision in a month or so. Just talked to a customer yesterday about a problem with his (ordered from overseas) as well.

Sweet

Looks extremely good for first time set up!

Hi there.

Hope you're still awake

Just wanted to ask, in a water-cooling system there's the CPU block, the piping, the pump and the reservoir, along with the coolant. Have I missed out anything?

I asked such because....

YOU SERIOUSLY POISONED ME. Might get a $2k P55 rig and WC it >.<
