PC Water Cooling Overhaul

Testing out the system, some impressive results!

CPU i5-3570K @ 4.1GHz:

old idle – 35C, new idle – 33C

old load – 65C, new load – 57C

GPU GTX 670 @ 1200MHz:

old idle – 40C, new idle – 30C

old load – 80C, new load – 50C

Sound level before (idle) – the H80 was pretty quiet, but the stock cooler on the GTX670 even at 30% was somewhat annoying.

Sound level before (under load) – When the 670’s fan got up 70% I could literally hear it from my kitchen.

Sound level after (idle and under load) – I can now hear my furnace over the silent hum that comes from the water pump. The fans are dead silent.

All in all, an awesome upgrade
