Can't wait to see some pics Mo.

I ordered the Bigwater 365 a while back but the pump was knackered in it. Sent it back and the replacement pump was also f**ked. I sent the full thing back and demanded a refund in a not suitable for printing on a public forums email ...

well, as many have heard, i lost the tyan to a bad bios flash (wtf??? :lol: ), so a supermicro board has taken it's place. and a better board imho. i still get unacceptable temps (10 to 13F higher) on the cpu second in the loop, so i installed yet ANOTHER RAD in the loop (out from first cpu, to the new single rad w/fan, then back to the input of the second cpu, then out through the pump to the big rad), but i still get too tall temps (at load, 95F on first cpu, 115on the second cpu :talker: ). i ran out of liquid metal, so a wait for the delivery from frozencpu
must be endured before any attempts at reseting the blocks takes place...

well, in bios, after a day of folding, the room @70F, i get 86F per core (in bios). not sure if this is a glitch with monitoring apps under vista/a mobo/OS issue (in vista/xp x64, i get cpu1 with 20F higher temps!!! in bios, they are equal, after installing the "helper rad", as there was a slight variance before the "helper" ...). this has been bugging me all week. i think i'll trust the bios reporting, for now... :(

Sorry to hijack this thread (I'm not really) but I need a bit of advice. I need a pump that will work with the Bigwater 365 system from Thermaltake. the pump was bust when I got it from them and in the RMA product I received the pump was also bust. I don't even want to give Thermaltake another penny in postage costs!!! So all I need is the pump. Any suggestions? Linkage to the product info here

well, i found out why my temps are less than stellar: the bottom of the external rad is next to the psu exhaust, and coupled with the proximity of the rear of the rig to the wall...a heat shield is needed to isolate the two. this ought to be fun... :huh:
