Awesome components, very nice OC, I like the vid cards :P, very nice rig. 8/10 , check mine out!

Nice and clean....great job...

There is alot of space in those things eh!!!

I have one still in the box in the attic I have no idea what I'm going to do with it. Just bought it since the things were cheap.

[ThatGuy16]

Thanks, yeah i got mine for $50 after tax. Great deal, even if your not water cooling, you should do the radgrillz mod. Its the finishing touch. With the grill and the windowed panel, i have about $120 in it all together.

Watch out for that aluminum top on the gtx.

I would advise you to pick up the copper one.

I have enough antifreeze in there to kill a horse. I didn't buy my WC stuff new, i got a good deal on it. Otherwise i would have gotten fuzion or something. When i rebuild my loop again, i'll buy a copper top lol.

[aspire]

Just for the record, you know that anti-freeze is a coolant inhibitor correct?

[ThatGuy16]

Yes, i do lol.

I mixed it about 20%ish antifreeze in a gallon of distilled

Updated, got a couple 4850s!

[Whilhelm]

Looks good.

Good job on the top mount rad install, gotta love those Rocketfish cases.

You should try running strait distilled with a few drops of copper sulfide, your temps will be a bit better than running distilled with antifreeze.

[ThatGuy16]

Thanks

Yeah i would but i have the aluminum top on the GTX.. i don't want to risk any corrosion, right?

[Whilhelm]

Well the radiator is copper already so corrosion is a slight possibility, I know that the GTX is supposed to be coated to resist corrosion but I have seen some cases where it has happened. The copper sulfide acts as a biocide to kill algae, petras sells it and it is called PTs Nuke Biocide. Next time you take your loop apart for maintenance have a look inside your Apogee GTX and make sure there isn't any corrosion. If you run into any problems get a copper top for it.

[ThatGuy16]

Yeah, its not suppose to corrode. But you always know how that goes. lol

If i ever tear my loop down again, im going to check it and if it is corroding im going to get a copper top for it. Along with the antfreeze, i was told to add a few drops of povidone iodine to act as a biocide i believe. I think it works, its been about 4 months, and its just as clean as the day i put it together
