Pop in a bunch of bigass hard drives and you got a good HTPC or something, unless the case is a POS. |

With water cooling you should easily get that cpu above 4Ghz, my guess would be 4.1 or 4.2 at least - if not a little further. The corsair xms3 1600 will clock to 2000Mhz you if want it to, with no volt or temp increase whatsoever. I had mine at the max spec the board was supposed to handle which was 1800mhz and again, no volt mod and cool to the touch. OCZ obsidian black runs perfectly well with xms3. I am using 2 gigs of that ocz now with my corsair. Both have the exact same timing and volts. The video card would not require cooling so thats money saved. looking forward to build shots and benches along with oc results! |

built it into the 690II, but cut away the top mesh to mount the rad instead of having it in the back, its nowares near finished (still waiting for good ol purolator to show up with my bracket ARGH lol) so everythings rough lol . ALSO, thanks to all of you  this time i use hose clamps instead of zipties for the new water lines, give me a sec to upload a pic or 2 onto P-bucket and ill post them up

    the smaller tube come UP from the res is just a temp fill tube till i figure out where to put a fill port, the 1/2" tube is the return from the block, the 3rd fan for the rad is mounted inside blowing the same dir as the other 2, the sata dock didnt have enough clearance with the fan up top and i use it quite alot lol and you can see the h50 hanging out the side |
