ok, I'll try to share if I can find something =) just keep Your eyes on temps as You go, that a hot card..

Yeah, I have space for 280, will drop a pair of 140 Noctuas, & D5 with small res. or.. if I mod a bit more, this might be the way to go http://www.frozencpu.com/products/14265 ... 33015.html - really like it as it would keep the tubes to 2 - one to the water block & One out =DDD no extra mess ..but we'll see =)

If you plan to expand your loop - d5 is the only way to go.

The res look awesome - why I've never seen it before :)

Top quality are bitspower res but I cannot spend that much on res only. :( I am expanding my loop of dual d5 top from ex

hehe, dual is a way to go for peace of mind (if You have extra funds & space inside) just to know that if one fails, You don't start boiling water & melting Your tubes =DDD

back ago I've forgot to turn on the pump (there was some crazy DIY experiments..) & see in my eyes, how tube starts stretching, bending..& then when I touched it (without any idea what was going on).. water got out - the rig was up & running =DDD.. I'm still alive, there was no parts fried, but..I was shaking for half an hour at least..-I could have been dead =)

It would be very interesting to see this comparison updated with numbers from version 2.13!
