    Project : Green HydraCooled

    So basically I plan to do a project starting tomorrow, I currently have no Photographic Evidence of any progress so will post it here for now.

    My Current Rig :
    i5 2500K running at stock voltage/multiplyer on Stock Cooler
    MSI Z68ma G45 (B3) which I plan to change soon
    4GB Corsair Vengence LP
    Inno3D GTX480 with Reference Cooler.
    Gigabyte Perspex Chassis

    I currently have the following W/C parts :
    Corsair H50 + Rad
    Corsair H60 + Rad
    EK Full Waterblock for GTX480.

    What I want to do :
    Mod my chassis and use laser cutting to imprint my Sig on the side of the chassis.
    Remove all company logos off all hardware (Gigabyte, Inno3D, Samsung, Corsair etc) and create my own.
    Mod the H50 + H60 to run in one complete WC system with the cpu and 480.
    Possibly Lap the CPU and either H50 or H60.
    Configure the Chassis inners in a way to maximize airflow.
    Lastly obviously, OC this thing to near death.

    Im pretty new to watercooling so all of this will be a first for me, but Google is a kind gentle helpergnome at the moment
    Will update any progress I have here over the coarse of the weekend.

    Peace

    You will need more than 2 x 120mm rads if you want to WC your CPU and GPU.

    So... I modded the H50 and got it to watercool my GTX480. Will post pics as soon as I get a half decent camera nearby.
