So then, there we go. For the card we created a second loop. We have the CPU on a separate water-cooling unit, which is passively cooled. With an overclocked Core i7 processor close to 3.8 GHz I figured I'd be pushing it too much, hence the second loop which is thus dedicated cooling the two GPUs.

As you can tell, I have a fetish for the glow factor alright. UV lights are located (hidden) everywhere in this system (this is Project X by the way).

The tubing used is UV reflective, and the coolant has a UV reflective mixture as well the results is that this thing lights up like it has been camping in Chernobyl for a week. There is massive water-flow going on here, so we can conclude there is very little resistance inside the water-blocks (which is good).

For those that notice, yes no clamps are used (!) The ones supplied by BFG had too wide a diameter for the 5/8" tubing. The logical thing to do then is use zip ties or run to the store for some proper metal clamps. I however used an glue like waterproof adhesive and literally glued the tubing to the barbs. It's something new I tried (out of necessity) and quite honestly, it looks just so much cleaner and better.

One last beaver shot. It is time to wrap up the photo shoot and commence a series of military drills on this graphics card, yes... it's time for our benchmark session.
