Heh, it didn't give me troubles, I gave it to myself for being an idiot

--You stated that the hydrocool is "pretty loud", was that on turbo mode?

Yes it's on turbo mode, even w/o turbo mode, it's audible, but not nearly as loud. This is on my computer table which is less than 3 feet away from my ear, so that's why I can hear it. If it's under the table like my computer with all those fans, (not including the ones you don't see) it's barely heard.

--Do you see much of a diff in temps between turbo and normal mode?

To be honest with you, I leave it on Turbo mode
But as soon as the water heats up to the same temperature as the outside air, ambient, then the temperatures won't flucuate, but as soon as you turn on your computer, and see the water temperatures rise, don't worry, give it time and it'll stop.

--Do you think upgrading to 3/8" ID tubing would make a diff in ur temps?

I don't think that upgrading to 3/8" ID tubing using 1/2" OD tubing would make a difference. Why? Because you'd be using the same radiator and same pump. However, there might be a chance of a miniscule change in temperature as there'll be more water running through the system. If however, you decide to add an additional pump per say Ehiem that does 250 gallons per hour and put in another radiator and GPU block (which I am considering) then yes, it'd be a wise idea to upgrade the tubing.

--What was ur ambient temp during testing?
|
Depends on the time of day
If it's around noon time when the air conditioner isn't on yet, my ambient temp inside the case is 39*C (Got it from the Gigabyte Hardware monitor)
I haven't checked the temperatures when the A/C is on, which I'll post later tonight, but I won't be home for the majority of the time, so the A/C won't really affect the computer temps. However, when the A/C is on, my computer and HydroCool unit is less than 1 foot away from the air vent so that can change alot of things.
And don't worry about asking too many questions
