The loop is like this: Pump-radiator-CPU-pump. What do you guys think?

[diablos]

the system is too ordered but the radiators can't aspire air and your prestation diminish
sorry for my bad english :p:

[LenniZ]

hmm, what do you mean ? its bad ? is it something that I can do better ? and btw I MUST have two 90degrees bends there.

the position of radiator is too bad, put it up or out of case

[LenniZ]

No, its not space there

[diablos]

No, its not space there
put it out of case

[LenniZ]

nah, why is it so bad to have it in the bottom of the case? In my last pc with an acrylic case, I had it outside, and that sucks because its not good for LANpartying. Btw: I will put the wheels on the case so more air get to the radiator.

ok do like you believe

[mad mikee]

even if the tubing is a little longer, you can get it to bend slowly instead of making the water do this: :brick: (I could do that w/ no angles and not move anything else) Your system will thank you immensely. Get coolsleeves if you need them. You have a big case & space- USE it! :D
(Gotta be someone in teh case gallery w/ this combo, start from teh beginning, I bet you'll find it :hrhr: (Oh and the rest looks okay and getting rid of the bends will help especially given the pump size)

And sure you're gonna carry that behemoth to lan parties :rofl: (I've lifted one of those things, they're build like a tank and feel it)

As for Diablos, that is the why the case is designed that way so you CAN put the rad on teh bottom :D

[Fairydust]

Well he is using the nicely curved angles and not the eeeeevil L shaped ones, also he only uses 2 not a whole lot, so it's actually not that bad.

[Nettwerk]

lol most everyone with stacker cases put the rad at the bottom

The bottom of his case (Stacker) has got a hole so that the air can be sucked from under it. There is also wheels on the case so its clear of the floor by 6cm.

There is no problems with having the radiator where he has it.

[k00lance]

is that rad mounted to the case or just sitting there?

Now this is a nice, tight, good-looking system setup. Kudos m8! I have something similar in mind and am in the middle of outlining it on paper and ordering. What kind of load temps are you getting?

lol will keep it in mind ;)

im just deciding on a case to house my silent water rig, then ill be away again

pc65 less practical, looks much better

akasa eclipse, more room, not so good looking

[stardust]

Bacon you hit it on the spot. The PC65 is very difficult to work with when you want a decent 1/2" water cooling system. I found my solution by locating my rad behind my case about a year ago (page 5 of this thread for my second watercooling setup). This gives me a serious problem with loop order, as Maxxxracer pointed out to me a year ago, and I've been gradually trying to improve the loop order.

When I was first doing my fill, I had some problems with cavitation, but after I managed to get water in every part of the tube by rotating my entire case several dozen times I got the loop working. I filled the reservoir almost completely with water so now everything works like a charm.

My load temps are 32C @ 2.8ghz and about 30C @ 2.0ghz. I think my radiator is big enough for my components, especially with my two loud sunnon fans sucking massive air.

Right now I'm in the middle of cleaning up my wires and looking for an anti-dust solution... any ideas? comments?

[nicholarse]

Have to agree, after going to stright watercooling in a pc65 with 1/2" tubing space is damn tight - very hard to hide the wires thats for sure!having said that I do have quite a lot in this case. Have to say I'm also very pleased with it. Pretty quiet near silent (PSU is the loudest), much mroe convenient that phase change and my load temps are 38C with an overclocked X2 (both cores full load) and an overclocked GTX in the loop. I'm not using a shroud either (no room!) so no doubt theres a big ol' dead spot.

Here is my system, i just redid it all. It's a terrible shot i know, and i don't have any pics of the hard drives bolted in above the CD rom drives. My digicam sucks. But you can kind of tell what's going on.

My temps are really great, the only disappointment is the UV green. It wasn't very bright so i put a few more drops into the loop... instead of making a brighter green, it clung to the tubing in its condensed iodine-looking form and ended up coating all the tubes with a dull red-ish color. So it's not much of a neon green...

how much pressure is there on the rear of the mobo tray/fan mount with that rad mate? only curious as i was thinking of hanging a pa160 on one out the back of my pc65 as i wont be modding this case

[stardust]

Bacon,

The rad is holding up well. I don't know the exact pressure, but if you don't secure the tray to the case, it may bend slightly at the corner of the tray. I put in my motherboard after I attached the rad setup to the tray and it fit fine, so no warpage happened. The PC65 mobo tray is surprisingly durable and strong.

The only problem I have right now is taking the side panel off. I need to unscrew the tray from the case and slide it out about 1 inch before I can take off the side panel. I saw this problem in advance so I left extra length in the res-to-rad tube that snakes under my cpu block. If you look at my "teaser thread" you will notice the tray is slightly open and that tube is taut.

Bad temps?! Wow, with a rad like that? Maybe a pump that can handle something like that is in order.

Usama aka Ferrari Freak

[wittekakker]

this pump can defenetly handle it. must be something wrong with the block I think

[EnJoY]

The pump is dumping about 3x more than heat than it should be. Get rid of it and get a pump more suitable for that application, like an Iwaki MD20RZT.

I was finally able to make a better turn from the graphics card to the T-line...my previous two setups had the tub coming from the right barb and making a weird loop which cause me to have to make a window in my sidepanel that extended off the sidepanel just to make room for the curving tube lol.

My first case-mod, water cooling, phase change (built a few rigs on air though)

[moonlightcheese]

@Leeum - the interior of that case is just beautiful. you did a GREAT job on the aesthetics in that thing. this is about what i want my case to look like on the inside. so pretty /slur

@cinOxen - you did a marvelous job fitting that rad into the window the way you did. what kind of molding is that around the window?

@cinOxen - you did a marvelous job fitting that rad into the window the way you did. what kind of molding is that around the window?

Thanks. Its blue-reactive window molding from frozencpu (http://www.frozencpu.com/mol-03.html). I wish I took more time trying to fit it. It seems to need a fairly large radius to be able to go around corners and I wanted square lines to be able to extend the window up high in the front. It was the very last thing before I could say the rig is "done" (never really done) and I wasn't careful enough. I should have done it first ;)

Another strange thing about that molding is that it has a strip that is supposed to secure itself. I found it very hard to fit and ended up leaving it out – it seems secure enough without it anyway.

I reccomend swapping the fans out on that for serious use.

1. the stock fans used in that device are anemic at best.

2. the stock fans have very annoying multi-color leds.

I swapped mine out with very rare, but quiet and powerful 40mm evercools. Don't bother looking for them, you won't find them. ;)

Looking good wildc4rd, is that a Thermochill 120.3 rad?

[LenniZ]

Mounted a GPU block, what is your opinion on this?
I need a nother rad, thinking about a single BIP, need it to cool down the warm water from the cpu, gpu is not cold enough :/

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y55/LenniZ/PC1.jpg

[SustaiN]

Looking real good LenniZ ;) what pump are u using?
I think u should remove the 90 degree elbow fittings. They will make your waterflow more restrictive.
Btw. is the rad able to "breath", I mean have u cutted the bottom of your case?

[trifid]

Yeah, its 1/4" tubing, and yes, its a Bigwater SE. And it cost a fraction of the price a custom setup would of cost me.

[Gimmpy224]

maybe, but custom would give much better temps ;)

[trifid]

My temperature today, was flickering from 27*C to 28*C and after half an hour of playing battlefield 2 the peak the temperature graph hit was 32*C. My friend spent £150 on his water cooling, and he gets 25*C on idle. Considering he spent 1.5 times more than me (I spent £60 on mine.) I don't see this as a good enough temperature difference.

(my CPU hits mid 50's on load when I had air cooling.)

I spent 200 USD (80-90 euros??) on my custom set up, and am getting temps of 33C/46C in a warm room, approx 77-78 F

so yea, ur friend definantly spent too much

anyways guys, i need a big, roomy case so i can fit my W/C set up INSIDE instead of having the rad and pump laying on teh floor outside of my case, any suggestions?

STORM and peltier is a very bad solution!

STORM is only cooling a small spot but intensively... A peltier needs cooling covering all its surface... A Swiftech 6000 or an old DD Maze4 would work much better!

[peanutplanters]

heres mine

I modded a zalman "reserator". Alot of people have negative reviews about this passive watercooling. I got the kit for free, and the first day i removed the crappy stock pump and replaced it with an ehiem 1050 pump. My idle temps are 32c with load temps at 40c, with my x2 4200+ oc'ed from 2.2ghz to 2.65ghz. Actually a really good solution, since its completly quiet. Absolutely not worth the money, but considerign what i spent on it, its just as good as most active watercooling solutions.

Firstly, when you cut the fan holes, did you use the jigsaw? Secondly, how did you attach the acrylic to the case? And the black foamy, rubbery stuff, like this: http://www.crazypc.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=120199&Product_Code=83010 or this http://www.crazypc.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=120199&Product_Code=8302 ???

wasn't sure where to stick this so if yr a mod and its in wrong section move it please

Here is another pc-70 to add to this gallery, personally i think mine is the best (reason : its mine lol ), phil did this for me in a one off colour well, put it this way he has never anodised a red and then had it polished to this standard, the colour is what you would refer to as blood red and really is stunning in the flesh (but doesn't that apply to any thing?)



Here is a pic took of it before he shipped it

Temps wise im sitting at 26 - 27°c idle to 40°c load, ambient is 20°c (load tested using S&M which loads cpu more than any other program) but adverage load using bf2 which loads cpu and gpu is 36°c which aint bad considering all fans are 7v and produce very little noise considering, id say about 25db if that!!! Which aint bad at all, temps to noise ratio is very good considering!!

W/cin parts are.....

Cathars G5

Danger Den's Chrome Maze 4

Danger Den Dual floppy bay res

7ft of 7/16th tubing

Hopefully at i26 ill get loads of attention....


If you need any more ill stick em up, but ill replace them ones with some better ones 2morrow taken in the day light .

The psu is a biatch to try and wire, in that case as its posistion its quite hard to hide wires.


There is still more work to do, i was hoping to get my uv dye today but no luck from coolercases (been waiting 3 days for it now - naff service if u ask me), iv still got some wire braiding to do as well as get the bulgin lit up although im mot sure which pins go where lol, also got to get some new ide cable and sata cables

Yea couldn't fit it in the case...aw well it's the best solution for me anyway :)

[SustaiN]

Tim, I like your system but yeah it's a shame you couldn't fit in the case. very nice job ;)

[tatts]

not as good as most but this is my first ever WC set up and love it :banana:
spent the last 2 weeks spending and building me a new rig (my other one is a boring p4 lol)

basic specs in sig, WC set up is:
Swiftech Storm, Swiftech MCP655, Swiftech MCR220, DD maze4, DD dual bay res, tygon r3603 1/2" tubing

Isn't that pretty noisy, with the pump attached to the side panel??

[Marlowe]

Isn't that pretty noisy, with the pump attached to the side panel??Yeah I don't know how much the eheim vibrates, but I would guess the aluminium door could resonate and make noise, but then again the pump is bolted stuck, so it might just be totally quiet :p: However, another thing.. why didn't you mount the rad something towards what like I've done instead? The BIP fits perfectly. (no I still haven't mounted the rest of the watercooling (goddamn pump!), so I don't know how it performs :p: I've just let it stay there:P)

Well yea...it was bloody noisy...but I had some AKASA dampening mats...silent now :)

@ Marlowe, I dunno....it was a possibility...maybe next time...I kinda like this one more, because fresh air from the front is carried directly to the rad...instead of hot case air...how did you mount them btw? With screws straight throught the fans or something? :)

If you can find one, I'd go for it. I'm looking at temps around 26-28 idle, and I've seen maybe 35 under load right after some Doom 3. Awesome rad... best I've ever used. I'd definately mod it to have a larger shroud though. It seemed to really help my system.

Thanks for the kind words!

[mindwreck]

did you make that shroud? I've been looking for one for my BIP3 and haven't found one that looked like that

[Master_G]

What is the chipset heatsink you are using 3Tripnip?

G

[3Tripnip]

It's the Swiftech MCX159-CU. I found it for sale online without the included fan so it made it a few bucks cheaper. It's performing great so far. ;)

How about an old dual Athlon MP using old Gemini Cool Spirals? Used as a SQL server running 24/7 for almost 2 years. Finally replaced the Mag3 with a DC pump.

I finally got on to it and installed a second Wc rig.
Had the heatercore laying around for 2 months without using it, same for the D5 pump, which I got as a replacement from DD after my D4 died.
So I ordered the NexXos XP bold S775 block a couple of weeks ago and started installing it.

Components :
NexXos XP Bold S775 block
Maze4 GPU block
DD D5 pump
Weapon Heatercore with shroud and 2*120mm San Ace fans.
Coolplex 25 reservoir
1/2" Masterkleer tubing.

Board is ASUS P5WD2 Prem, 630 @ 4450Mhz, X800GTO @ X800XT, 2*512 MB PC6400 OCZ EB, Enermax Liberty 500W PSU, 80Gb Hitachi SATA

The rig is not 100% finished. I need to finalize cabling and stuff.

You MIGHT want to shorten the run between one of your D5's and your GPU. That just seems a wee bit overkill to me. With the sleeving you have on your lines, you should be perfectly fine with a more direct run.

I did try a more direct route, but it was putting quite a bit of stress on the card. The tube has the wire moulded into it, which is great for lack of kinks, but can be a bugger to bend. Am getting 35 and 39 degrees load temp at about 23 ambient on GPU 1 and GPU 2, so am pretty happy. The CPU has its own loop as well, so is not affected.

I can't really oc my athlon 2400 mobile barton any higher (maxing vcore on my dfi infinity nf2 alrdy) but my temps has dropped dramaticly comapred to my eheim1250,BI pro single 120mm setup on maze4 cpu block. Also all my fans on lowest speed gets the same temps as when i have the fans going full blast, that obviously shows I not even comming close to taxing my radiators cooling ability yet :)

When I upgrade my rig in hte spring/.summer to M2 and g80 or r600or r580 I'll go with a nice hot dual core M2 .65nm processor and hopefully TEC cool it, as well as the vid card, then i'll start using my rad's ability.

It's not loud at all actually, i used the neoprene patch that came with the pump and mounted the pump with 2 of these:

The pump is very good built and the mount is a bit flexible but it definately won't come off.

MaxxxRacer, coming from you its the highest compliment I could ask for! :woot: That silicon-based tubing I got from work makes it easy (I work in a chemical plant).

[Rapier]

taht is SWEEET

how much is that tubing btw?

I don't know, I charge it back to my department and sneek it out with me. I'll see if can find out some specs on the stuff. Its a thick wall silicone tubing. 3/8" id and 1/2" od...

...From what our store room employees say the same as McMaster-Carr. mdl. 3038K22. Search for that part number here:
http://www.mcmaster.com/

The only trouble me and Rockhammer have with the stuff, is that liquid must evaporate through the tubing walls at a very low rate (like < 1 ounce a month or 1 cc/day). Rockhammer says after 6 months or so that the rate will drop to about half that much. its weird, you don't perceive any loss through the tubing walls, but at such a very low rate, you wouldn't anyway. The stuff does stay very flexible even after long periods in time. Rockhammer does say it'll stain with what ever dye you use in the system after some time, but it doesn't really matter if you never change colors.

side is off by the way, i gotta dremel a spot in the case window so that the d4 fits, it's hitting the window atm :(
btw, will it effect my cooling if the rad is mounted on it's side? cuz that seemed to be the best way to mount it with the tubing

Here's my war-wounds, The pump is too big under my 6800LE's heatsink so I had to chop-up the case a little, Hopefully once my 6800ULTRA arrives I can bend that little piece back in.

Thanks, M8! I did a lot of reading on this forum before I made the plunge (no pun intended). :D

[Eagleclaw]

rotNdude nice.

What mixture you have? Is that Pentosin?

Thanks, M8. Actually, it's *cough* PC Ice *cough*. I didn't do quite enough reading before I bought it.

My system used to be like this:

Hey Atomicpineapple: That rad looks similar to an XSPC R120-T... how's it treating you? :)

Nice setup Waxman :)

One of those new Aquacomputer fan grills in black would look nice instead of the brushed alu one imo!

How is that respack reservoir? I'm considering using one in my next project :) The outer frame of it is anodised aluminium isn't it?

[Waxman]

I like the contrast of the silver grill with th black case.

The reservoir is great. 1/4" threads. The one I have is made out of delrin (same as the Storm). There is a version made out from aluminum, but this one is safer.

In the making. Waiting on my 1/2" Tygon, and Raptors to put it in this weekend. Should be fun transferring from this CM Praetorian to the TJ03.

Hey everybody, this is my second post on the forums and I'm just looking for some friendly advice... I am thinking about watercooling for the first time, and as a beginner I don't want to get in over my head. I'm pretty confident in my abilities, but I think the simpler the better. I've been building computers for about 10 years now, and here is my current setup;

AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice E6 CPU 1.8GHz (9x200) @ 2.7GHz (9x300) 1.7v
1024MB (2x512MB) OCZ Premier 2.5-3-3-7 Dual Channel PC3200 RAM w/ Heat Spreader
ATi Radeon X1800XT 512MB 625/1500 @ 750/1800 (Core/Mem) 1.48v
80GB Barracuda 7200.8 SATA 7200RPM 8MB Cache
200GB Barracuda 7200.8 SATA 7200RPM 8MB Cache
MSI K8N NEO4-F Mainboard
Enermax 535W PSU

My cpu idles around 32c on stock air cooling, and under a full load reaches about 47c. That's a 15c jump that I would like to eliminate. But not bad temperatures considering the 900MHz overclock, and extra .3vcore.

My video card idles around 42c (at stock) or 60c (when overclocked) and can reach upwards of 90c when full load. I definately want to eliminate those high temperatures on the video card.

My plan is the following... I want to pick up a thermaltake bigwater se kit... I work at a computer store so I can get one cheap. Comes with approx. 10feet of hose (1/4" ID) a 120mm radiator (copper heat pipes with aluminum fins) a small water pump (approx. 100LPH) and a resevoir that fits into a 5.25" drive bay... I also plan to pick up a 1/4" waterblock for my video card, we have some KOOLANCE blocks at work...

I know that most people think 1/4" is too small, but I am a beginner, and I am not looking to get crazy cold temperatures... Mainly I want to quiet down my computer, the X1800XT and CPU fan both at 100% all the time make my computer sound like a jet engine.

The way I look at it... Any watercooling setup (even 1/4") should give better cooling and be much quieter...


Anyone have any input?

[Trice]

I would say 1/4 is a bit thin to cool a x1800 that well. You shouldnt expect too much, I almost would think it would be close to air cooling, obviously a little better, without the noise.

I dove right in to my WC setup, it was easy to setup, I had no issues at all.

[trance565]

go custom all the way dude

my first wc set up consists of
d4 pump
120mm heatercore with 1 fan pullin, 1 fan pusshing
mcp05 cpu block
and a res
all 1/2 ID tubing

it's really easy to set up
i would suggest getting a t line though
and maybe a dual 120mm radiator/heatercore

That's a lot of rad hanging off the back ExtraPickles!
