So, i finally upgraded my Radi :-)
if u can´t remember, take a look here to see why i did that....

ok, this is my new baby:
Up

Down

Side


and btw i cleaned my desktop, because i´m using 2 PC´s and now i´ve got my KVM Switch :-)
Before work @all


That´s my PC - old look

u also can see the old Radi there...

ok....
first, i cleaned the Desk...it was time :-)
and removed the old Monitor/mouse/Keyboard of my Linux-Machine
after some hours, lol
it´s looking like that....

hummm, ....much better than before

the next step was cleaning the Watercooling system
i released the complete water and the Pump i cleaned under clean water
and my dog took a look at me ...


of course, the old radi is now in a very dark room ;-)
the new Black Ice Pro II is modded, of course...

There u can see, that i built 2 place holder, to have a better air flow under the Radi


next step was to combine the Radi and the Case....
i did 3 holes......
2 for the Water and 1 for the Fan


then i filled the complete system with water and i let the pump run some minutes alone to remove the complete air in the system

ok, after half hour it was ready :-)
the system is was now without air....
and i started the system for the first time
now it´s looking like that....





sweet?!

so, the next interessting could be the temps...
with the old radi i got
Idle: 43°C
Load: upto 55°C

with the new Blackice
Idle: 33°C
Load 45°C

it gaves me 10°C less with the new big Radi
very nice i think
btw, i´m using 2x120mm adjustable Fans and they are running at lowest speed
maybe it can be some degrees colde if i pump up the speed

but with these settings i can´t hear the system, almost and that with good temps, i think


so what do u think about that all?



to be countined.....?

vents in suck or blow mode

blow
that´s why i used the alu to set it higher so there is a good airflow under the Radi

OT: what was your dog's name? he's perfect lol

Quinto

and for all other Dog Fans take a look at this Thread :beer:

i just tried to let the vents run in suck mode

idle: ~39°
load: ~46°

hummm

sure ... basically suck it better
but you got to see .... you got no air chamber ... the vents have no chance sucking air when the are next to an object
thats why the are louder and have less airflow
