Hope you enjoy some good clocks on that.
BTW - did you swap the tube for some more flexible or use the rock hard Asetek supplied stuff ?

Unfortunately I did'nt have access to IDE drive bays, just a jigsaw!
I would guess the airflow through your rad and mine would be very similar, both suck in cool air from outside the case. Only difference is mine comes in the top and yours in the front of the chassis, and the different rad + fan sizes obviously.
I saw Oppainters install, I did'nt think it was the smartest thing to hang the radiator out of the back of the case, but it works!
As for clockspeed....I seem limited to 220 FSB for some reason. I've read about TicTac's modified BIOS's for the NF7-S but haven't gotten round to flashing any of them just yet.
Asetek now do a softer tube, but its not crystal clear like the old rock'ard stuf they did prevously! If you have a look at the last side on case pic above you can see the tubes look slightly cloudy. Its not the water, just the tubes.
