    Default My Akasa Project.

    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

    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.

    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

    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)

    The Feser One non-conductive coolant is very good.
