My Akasa Project.

[Bully]

Very soon I will be Moding my Akasa case to water cool my cpu and possibly at a later date the GFX card.
I will be using a single rad setup to start with.

Heres some before shots of my case (air cooled), I will update pics during and after mod.

Me to, i'm trying to get him to use a 120.2 rad in the roof.
Mind you, depending on where you mount the pump/res you could mount a rad in the floor instead??
You need to take that blue sticker off the corsair ram cooler - looks better all black

During..........

[Bully]

Finished.........

My individual core 1 and 2 temps are now at 27?C idle and the overall CPU temp is 32?C idle, these temps are with the CPU clocked to 2.9ghz from 2.4ghz.

My temps before modding were, core 1 and 2 individually at 38?C and the overall CPU temp was 43?C.

Looking awesome mate, even if i do say so myself, lol
H2O FTW!

[Jura55ic]

Very nice m8!! bung a tripple rad on there and those temps will come down further.

P.S ya could have put the cpu block the right way up lol

Im just in the middle of changing my liquid from green to red, i will post some pics once done.

Awesome mate.......how much was the kit and did you have any leaks when installing?

What red coolant are u going to use? I think the best red out there is Fluid XP, but it's thinker consistency than water (and feser) and temps are higher with Fluid XP than with feser or water.

He had to have the block that way due to tube routing.
BTW i really didn't like the feser tube, Tygon FTW

[Bully]

Had no leaks ya mo.

[Lloyd_mcse]

pump,res and top was about ?80,
rad about ?40
EK Supreme CPU Block ?35.98
And that Akasa 12" Blue cathode is superb as it seems to have high UV reaction! Good buy they are!

[Jura55ic]

I was gonna go with feser red and some tygon tubing as my current tubing is green (changing system to red as my gfx card is now Ati and it will match my red Ballistix Tracers)

[Bully]

The Feser One non-conductive coolant is very good.

[Lloyd_mcse]

But Feser don't do a good red - it comes out pink - the best RED is Fluid XP Blood red -
