Going under water for the first time, part 2: moving to a new home

I would not be using a triple rad for just a cpu normally; I will be adding two video cards to the loop in the future.

460's dont count as 'adding to the loop' considering they fold at sub 60c temps :P

Answer to both of these is you are not overclocking high enough.

No matter what clocks mine are at they won't even run @ 1.212V. Lock up after a few minutes no matter what.

Who knows; if the 460s I have run really cool, and I can't hear them over the rad fans, I might not stick blocks on em after all.

They run cool, especially with the adv units. I tried 4 of them at once in bench and they only do around ~55C, 0.937V, standard SC clocks (763 Mhz) without a blower on top. I can't give figures inside a case since my 690 II can't accomodate all four of them. I'm waiting for a P50 so I can put all four of them online. Hopefully they won't roast each other

I have 2 inside my case, both fold (one slot apart) at sub 60c. Usually closer to 55c depending on ambient.

You really don't need to WC them Chris, even in your apartment. They put sweet F-A out for heat. Save the cash. Trust me.

This can't be on stock cooling.

Leak testing right now. I like the look of compression fittings...too bad I did not have enough for the whole loop. The top makes the 655 pump look much better too (picture soon). I did have a leak straight away, due to one fitting coming loose while putting in another..noob mistake, but the leak did not touch any components.

I hear that 24 hours is suggested for leak testing...is it a terrible idea to go with just 6-7 hours?
