I went hard core on the pumps, had to solder molex on as they came bare wire, the yellow and black lead to the red and black of the pump, they run out the back of the computer to let me avoid a separate power supply for the pump. Avoiding the friend turning it on and frying the cpu cause they didn't know to turn on the pump. The Green one is to a really loud fan that will be replaced later, the cork screw red and black is a molex to 3 pin fan adapter. This all happened kinda fast, so I took a mental inventory of fans and decided to run with what I had until I saw if I liked it or not. I don't know If I'm going to make it first time around but the intent was to keep all electrical connections out of the cooler.
This build I'm trying to use a Zalman water block on the NB, to attach the 40mm to the passive you just use a pair of needle nose pliers to carefully release the wire clip on this heat sink, clean the heat tape off with what ever you use (I use lighter fluid/naphtha same thing, then wipe it with an alcohol pad and dry it, commercially speaking Goo Gone from walmart, then alcohol works too), apply Artic ceramic on the NB itself (just the little chip). While you have the NB passive heat sink out, fire up the dremel with a Small drill bit, drill a small hole on the corner fin on each corner, (run down to dollar general, they have 100 small cable ties for a buck) then cable tie each corner of the fan to the heat sink. If if vibrates annoyingly, clip the ties off and put a small felt washer under each corner. (that's why you got a hundred ties
) It's simple and easy and lets you up the FSB speed insanely
I found a couple of black sata in my collection, after I rerun the wires inside the case I'll probably use them. I also got neutral clear high EMF wire braided floppy and IDE cables so I can ditch the blue rounded ones.
