Water Cooled Case Gallery

[Zgradis]

It is in Hellmouth with QX9650 under modded phase change. The 780i and tri SLI are temp until I get dual procs for my Skulltrail mobo and a 4th 8800 GTX . . .and until DD (hopefully they will let me help) works out a way to cool all 4 GPUS on the Skulltrail . . .card spacing is tight . . .also gonna use my phase unit to waterchill the Skulltrail's two CPUS.

My new DayWalker build will have dual 780i rigs in one case and either SLI or TRI SLi depending on what GPUS come my way ;)

quad sli? what mb supports that? i didn't know that any nvidia chipsets can do that...

I mirror both those comments! I've got mine all planned but the case i want isn't in stock at kustompcs.co.uk untill the middle of jan :( (lian-li a71) but the only bonus is that yesterday i wanted to buy a new laptop but staples didnt reserve it for me (although i called them :mad: ) so now i have the money for my watercooling (£500 :D )

[CyberDruid]

@Darth Beavis...

What could I possibly say...DP, Skulltrail, 4 x GTX...

Sheesh...you could be a poster child for Xtreme Overkill

[deepsilver]

what is that pump like deepsilver? i've been stuck between that and a dcc1

My pump is an AquaComputer AquaStream XT Ultra. :D

PUSH (http://www.aqua-computer-systeme.de/shopsystem/product_info.php?cPath=7_177_178&products_id=1805&osCsid=270de2e3847bbdc0a2852ef9bacc01f8)

Yeah and how are the two 90 degree entry/exit ports? Normally they significantly hurt flowrate..

I think that's not a big problem, but I have not tested it yet. ;)

Darth Beavis,

Kindly confirm for sure that the DD blocks are single slot solutions, and that the slots in between the video cards are fully usable. I have an itch to pull the trigger on the DD blocks, despite all the smack talk going on about these blocks.

I myslef would like to know how the connections work on the fouth GTX card. I now understand how to rig three GTX cards even without the new SLI connector, but the fourth video card just escapes me. Plus I hear that the drivers out now are supposed to work.

Four 9800 GTXes on a Skull Trail and two QX9775s with eight cores will be a hoot!!

[lennox]

biggest problem with the DD blocks is that your barbs screw into a piece of plexi instead of the copper like EK. I've had two and both leaked at the plexi barbs

[IanY]

Sargatanas,

How do you connect your two stacked cases ? I'm highly interested in that arrangement. Do you drill through the floor of the top case and through the ceiling of the bottom case?

Many thanks / Danke

[IanY]

DarthBeavis,

It looks like the much ballyhooed quad SLI is on its way, but only in the form of a 9800GX2 style card (remember the 7950GX2?). This time, quad SLI is going to work properly and work well. I got burnt the last time.

Pure speculation but there are lots of circulating rumors that Six-Way SLI will be coming as well, eventually. You obviously know that, because most the rumors are on NV's forums, no doubt hyped by the company itself.

The Skull Trail mobo's fourth PCI-E slot would not be useful because of the dual slot nature of the GX2 card.

The Chinese talk about a February 19th date. Warning that this is speculation (with all due respect to the Mainland Chinese) and that the release date may distinctly be an Asian release date, and as usual, the rest of the world sucks wind for one month before getting access to the toys.

http://en.expreview.com/?p=133

What am I? A fool? You probably have the cards at home already, beta testing them rofl :)

[sargatanas]

well the bottom case has a huge hole without the plate which is normally mounted.
http://www.pc-cooling.de/images/products/600084300/600084300-6_gr.jpg

I changed the plate from the upper tower aswell so I was able to use a dual radiator at the top.
http://www.pc-cooling.de/images/products/300100109/300100109_gr.jpg

then I drilled a huge hole at the right part in the floor of the upper case where the psu takes place. the hole is big enough for all the hdd cables, tube etc.
wasnt that difficult...looks a bit messy atm but I think I should make some pictures of the right parts of each tower.
makes it easier to understand the mounting since my engl. is quite poor atm ^^
the loops run through both towers, since the bottom chamber is only for testing atm

[IanY]

Thank you very much.

Do you use nuts and bolts to fasten the two cases, use velcro, or use nothing because the cases are so heavy ?

[sargatanas]

well 3x 8mm bolts on the left and 3 on the right side. is quite enough since the towers weight too much to carry it, think 'bout 50kg.

[IanY]

Thank you very much!

Ya it is good stuff, just a little to big for me these days. Where did you buy your tubing from? s I haven't seen any for sale in Canada. I bought a 100 foot roll from ebay a few years back, and ended up selling the majority of it in RFD.

@ [XC] Kayin . . .Cooling quad with Two Thermochills in the loop, 10 SilenX in push/pull;)
@ Bla$nA . . .Don't worry, I will have new cards eventually . . .sponsors FTW ;)
@ Zgradis . . .Quad SLI = Intel SkullTrail . . .Tri SLI = Nvidia 780i . . .I do both
@ IanY. . .Single slot bro. Slots inbetween are usuable if the card is not tall. These blocks perform and I have numbers to prove it. My understanding is no connector needed for quad.
@ lennox . . .yes, that is an issue

I am waiting for a pump to arrive so I can change my setup to waterchill using the phase change unit. I was unable to get a good seating on the CPU on this board so my temps sucked.

I am working on getting procs for the SkullTrail and need get blocks made for the SkullTrail yet including a GPU solution.

DarthBeavis,

I think I'm going to skip 780i. My first EVGA board was flaky so I RMAed it. I just found out that my Asus 680i will boot a Yorkfield just fine, so I'll stick with that for now, especially when it works for Tri.

I hope to step up to Skull Trail when it gets available.

Can you advise me as to how you manage to fit two Vapochill units inside your (presumed) 22 inch Mountain Mods cube? Or do you have two stacked cubes? I'm also assuming that you use two Vapchill Litespeed units or you have the Jinu VapoLi modified units.. Am I right?

Now, I hear that they are creating new format cases with 8 slots, presumably to accomodate Skull Trail's four gpus. So, you are saying that the Skull Trail will take four standard GTX-style cards without any SLI connectors, and that the magic will come together via software, right ?

[IanY]

That's what I like most about DarthBeavis. He's not afraid to challenge all conventional wisdom.

He says DD fullcover blocks are superb, and now I trust him and will try. Whatever you say about SilenX, you don't know what he knows.

Way to go, DB !!

Hi Been i like the way the top one looks! what hardware do you have in there?

[CyberDruid]

emPUR3 I like that first cae: the black lines are super tight.

RE SilenX

Considering I have bought/sold/used THOUSANDS of dollars in SilenX fans I can attest to them being dead sexy. Especially the 38mm deep ones.

However out of the hundreds of SilenX fans that have moved through my hands I have had several obnoxious failures. Leaking oil from the mylar seal/sticker is one particularily annoying failure. But usually the failure is just that the fans make a clicking noise of some kind...or the LEDs fail...

I did have one CPU cooler fall apart....that was a real pisser.

But mainly I encountered a prejudice towards them from people that have never even used them. SO I stopped stocking them all together.

I myself have a prejudice against Yate Loons and refuse to use them so there!

[IanY]

Brave words, CyberDruid. You have my admiration for guts there :D

Brave words, CyberDruid. You have my admiration for guts there :D

have you not seen the size of his chin .. he can take it :rofl:

tbh i have got 3 silenex 80mm fans from 2/3 years ago and thats where my prejudice comes from. all 3 seem to have developed a rattling noise and its almost like the fan has come loose from the chassis

How do you think I lost that one eye :p:

Yep I got that exact same failure. They just don't last for a long time...and they are not really suitable (too low static pressure) for high density finned radiators.

On a PA type rad the deep body fans work pretty good though.

My personal favorite fan for ANY watercooling set up is the Sanyo Denkei SanAce 1011 103.5 CFM fan. It's really a superior fan.

do you prefer them @ 7v like vapor does?
i'm curious as my first WC build is coming up at the end of the month and i'm trying to gauge some opinions

[CyberDruid]

Yep 7V is a sweet spot.

They are in that Lian Li case I posted above.

[Waterlogged]

That's odd because I consider a fan "failure" to be where it simply doesn't work anymore. I've got "leakers" that burned off all the oil they could and have been running 24/7 without so much as a peep out of them for well over 9 months now. I took it as "excess" oil burning off, but if it's everything from inside the bearing chamber, I'm fairly certain that I'd hear a noise of some kind (rattle, click, squeal) by now, which simply isn't the case.

I've said before that I won't recommend them for rads, but if you've already got them, they do make nice case fans. I've got more than I'd like to admit having, most are scheduled for use (as I have 5 ongoing builds), some were for cases that have outlived their usefulness ( but may still find life as MOSFET or RAM coolers).

[DarthBeavis]

@ IanY . . .I am actually using a single modifed Vapochill and using it to waterchill both CPUS (well, I will once my cpus come in). I am making a pimp setup for it (tubing in polished conduit with foam insulation sprayed in.

For fans . . .I actually use Yates and SilenX in builds depending on the color scheme . . .Yate for blue cause they are cheaper, otherwise SilenX. For Autopsy I used all AC Ryan. The SilenX's are really quiet in Hellmouth. Just wish they were not so spendy.

[CyberDruid]

The AC Ryan Blackfires are fun to look at...but not so much to listen to.

[rehpyc]

CyberDruid, would you recommend those San Aces and running them at 7V as opposed to running a 50cfm or so fan that already runs pretty silent at 12V? High cfm will help during the hot summers, but otherwise I'd want things to be pretty damn silent, if the San Aces are just that at 7V heh.

[pika198]

Anything involving a water cooled 900 definitely takes some skill. Good job!:clap:

they starting to adapt tho...i saw at compusa the new antec 900 cases have watercooling holes on the back like the higher end cases...so it should be quite easy to watercool it with an external radiator :D

[emPUR3]

You need to hold a San Ace in your hand...you'll see the difference immediately...about three time heavier...not a fan you want to stick a finger in :D

I agree...there are a lot of ways to do it. I just thought of a couple more ;)

Thanks. Yep...got (heresy) an aircooled rig to build and (sigh of relief) two more external coolers to build...

Is that the Lian Li PC-7B? And what are those fans?

[j33pownr]

Yea thats a Lian Li PC-7B on aluminum legs and the green fans are old Cooler Master PL12S12L. I think thats the part number. The black fans up top are Yate Loon D12SL-12.

Very nice way to do that man...

DDC 's are powerfull pumps for multi-block systems :up:

i wonder if its the 10w or 18w pump?

[CyberDruid]

Alphacool just came out with a pump that is better than the MCP 655 and scales with overvolting nicely. Martinm210 did some testing and I was amazed.

[trouble2000]

The loop is quite alright with this pump. It got a lot better since i removed the alphacool reservoir for the laing and replaced it with the mcres. Flow is quite good now.

i wonder if its the 10w or 18w pump?

It's the 10w.

[CyberDruid]

Hell if I can remember the name. It's a $100 pump with an external powersupply (wall wort)...I'll try and find a link.

[CyberDruid]

http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=201&products_id=4505

Alphacool 1510 in the new kid on the block...kicking butt too.

With the external adjustable DC voltage converters (12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 Volts) you may adapt the delivery rate of your pump to your own configuration. The 1500 litres which are achieved at the highest level satisfy even the most pretentious expectations.

The pump is attached at the transformer, and the transformer at the power pack of the PC.

NO 115/230V connection is needed! The extra power cable is superfluous as the pump turns on/off automatically with the PC.

This centrifugal pump is conceived for the thoroughgoing continuous use. The pump sells with 36 months warranty. Due to the G1/4" internal screw thread, the pump is compatible with all types of connections.

Specifications:

Powered by OASE !
Pump performance: max. 1500 l/h
Delivery height: 6m
Power consumption: 17 W
Connection: G1/4"-connections
Sound level: approx. 21-35 dBA
Dimensions L x W x H: 115 x 100 x 80 mm
DC-voltage converter L x W x H: 118 x 75 x 60 mm
Weight: ca. 720g

[RockfordFosgate]

Nice pump:)

[deepsilver]

My card is only for vitrine. :D

[Origin_Unknown]

CyberDruid, i just saw that on the alphacool website but didn't think it would be that.
1/4" connections means a convertor to 1/2" is needed?

nevermind, found it

21-35db...seems pretty loud to me..

Martin's flow test with overvolt showed it to almost match the Iwaki RD 30 :shock2:

[Nate P.]

It's the 10w.
:confused: I thought it was either 9W or 18W and I thought that was the 18W (DDC 3.2, MCP-355) because of the blue impeller (same as my MCP-355).:confused:

[rge]

Now, can't decide one loop or two. (needed temps 3C lower to keep 4 ghz orthos stable at my normal ambients)

While waiting for second pump, I added mcr220 to single loop setup in sig, load temps decreased by 4-5C, (they decrease ~7 on load when remove ultra). I am still getting 1.3 gpm (fills 1 gallon jug in 46.5 seconds x 3tests) with 9W DDC through everything (got 2.02GPM when just tested through tubing). Maybe will just keep second pump for spare, or wait til go quad for two loops.

Cheers mate... I choose the 7/16 tubing because i don't like the look/perf of the smaller tubing... tubing doesn't look as big as it does in pic.. oh and routed the tubing the shortest way possible probably could of done it a tad cleaner but im happy with it...

nice rig

like to see ppl still rockin the s939 :)

[CyberDruid]

Like the base. You should consider buffing out the copper parts: they would look a lot more attractive.

[Origin_Unknown]

Hi napass Love the hard lines :D

[Papu]

yeah , or covering the copper in something nice , like shower hosing

[RockfordFosgate]

Waov copper tubes and hardly modded Armor.

Great job men ;)

Here are pics of my new rig, got a great deal on a lian li pc a-10 so I swapped out everything from my p182. The HR-03's are run w/o fans on them, but there are 2 Scythe Kaze Slipstream 110cfm fans blowing at em with a Kama-bay supplying the air; specs in sig

w00t. Me and my Dad took it outside and chopped it up. A little nasty around the edges but it was a quick jigsaw job, and we knew it'd be covered up.

[smee]

Nice job Nick!

BTW, are the 690's made out of steel or aluminum?

[NickS]

Thanks man :)

They're all steel.

[perfection]

NickS: can we get some pictures of how you stuck the fans under the mesh please :)

[smee]

Thanks man :)

They're all steel.

Could you tell me what cutting blade you used to cut it?
The case I'm using in my new build is steel too, and I've been using a dremel to cut things (see my sig for worklog), I just wonder if using a jigsaw would be better...

[Chewbenator]

@Napass, that setup is so bad ass on so many levels :up:

[NickS]

NickS: can we get some pictures of how you stuck the fans under the mesh please :)

They're just screwed into the radiator w/rad screws.

Jigsaw is definitely better. It's a BOSCH metal blade found @ Home Depot. Relatively cheap, in a 3-pack.

[fitseries3]

does anyone know how or where i can find out how to flip the motherboard tray in my TJ07?

[g1raffe]

I think you are in danger of a kink (the tube from cpu-block to the reservoir), but you got a very nice setup. Not much space left :P
Thanks, that tube is fairly close to a kink, but it seems to be fine. :D

[pattherat111]

its good to see another whirlpoolian

[~aoe~]

does anyone know how or where i can find out how to flip the motherboard tray in my TJ07?

I'm just starting to install water cooling into my TJ07 and have almost totally dismantled the case. You may notice that almost everything can be removed from the frame as it's all screwed in.

There are also additional screw holes for placing the motherboard tray on the other side.

Basically, after removing the motherboard tray, you would need to remove the 2 vertical supports for the 5 1/4" bays, then the horizontal panel. The motherboard tray guide rail at the top can be removed and screwed into the other holes at the top of the case (remember to rotate the rail first). This then leaves the other guide rail on the horizontal panel. Unfortunately, this rail is riveted :down:, but there are holes on the other side to mount the rail :up:. Drill out the 4 rivets and then mount the rail in the other holes. You'll need to find some way to attach this rail - best way I think would be to tap the 4 holes so that you can screw/bolt it in (the aluminium plate is 2mm thick, so should provide sturdy fixing). You can reinstall the horizontal panel and then the 2 vertical panels.

If you're still unsure, I'll try and post some pics of where everything should go.

Haha, actually I need to order some more tubing so that I can put my Accelero and ramsinks back on. I redid my loop and cut things too short, and ended up having to remount the stock cooler. They're sitting here on my desk getting dusty but I probably won't get around to it until I get some more orders filled. :p:

Hello All :)

i have been reading the threads on XS for the past few months now and all your cases has inspired me soo much that i desided to join the site...

sorry to bring up the Murderbox again but it was the main case that inspired me... just one of the many questions i have about it is.... how do you mount the 3 Hard Drives verticly in the 5.25" drive bays as you can see in the top left hand corner of this pic below??

thanks in advance :up:

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h3/liam_roberts_41/MurderBox05.jpg

[dnb#]

Take a screwdriver and turn to the right to tighten, left to loosen the bits.

[Junkee]

Thanks guys really helpfull:down:

im trying to ask what brackets are used?

[kinghong1970]

i'd think any bracket that enables you to mount a HDD in a 5.25 bay should do...

you're probably going to drill anyways, you will want to mount 3 HDD vertically, no? kinda waste of space to mount only 2 there...

I made the bracket on a plasma CNC machine.

Depending on your ability to sem-mass produce, you might want to consider selling some to Petras tech or something....there is a definite need for rad mounting solutions, and that one is superior to the Swiftech Radbox in many ways.....

[Sta!nless]

Agreed. I'd be interested in one too.

[Nate P.]

Yep, you definitely got a customer over here.

[g1raffe]

Thats a nice bracket, much better than the Radbox I am using, the Radbox barely gives me room for DVI cables into the GFX card..

[Mxlplx]

lichyetan, im just curious about your nb block, is it custom made or you just modified it, sorry new to w/c'ng 1st time ive seen a block w/ a heatpipe.

[Lloyd]

lichyetan, im just curious about your nb block, is it custom made or you just modified it, sorry new to w/c'ng 1st time ive seen a block w/ a heatpipe.

It looks like an Asus Fusion block that comes as standard with high end Asus motherboards.
I have a similar thing on my Asus Maximus Extreme...

[Nate P.]

It looks like an Asus Fusion block that comes as standard with high end Asus motherboards.
I've only ever seen it on they Maximus and Blitz lines.

Well, I hope it stays as clear as it is now :) But anyways - the inside will be anodized black soon and then I am completed with this project and hopefully, they will not bring out another huge case in 2008 ... hmmm have to correct myself instantly: GIVE US A BIGGER CASE!!!
