That looks great, nice a simple setup. Is that a soupcan reservoir? lol..

I can't really tell on this craptacular monitor, but I think the hose on the barbs on the radiator should be wiggled on a bit further..

I have been seeing people put clamps on kink section and i think its just wrong....here's the deal, you're probably thinking less is more, well make the tubing a tad longer...probably an inch or two and you wont have kinks, trust me on my word cause i'm an expert :cool:.

I've done it before. I'll take a piece of thin cardboard and use it as a shield, then use a vacuum up close to get the debris as it comes off the bit. But I have to have a very solid excuse to justify the risk. In general, all parts are off if I'm generating metal frags. Mine eyes have seen the damage they wreak. Fortunately, I only observed that disaster and was not responsible.

I'd suggest you replace those S12s. While they're great fans, they're not designed to work in high-impedance situations as they have a low static pressure. By comparison, Noctua's P12 fans have a much higher static pressure and will give you better temps for about the same noise level.

OK, I've mentioned this build a few times already and I just finished it...in fact, it's so newly finished, it doesn't even have an OS yet. Before y'all flame me, I built this as an experimental shiats & giggles system, it contains:

Case is an old AOpen that I don't even remember the model #
Gigabyte GA-8I915G-MF
524 Preshott
Innovatek G-Flow CPU block
Sapphire X1300 (Gigabyte 7600GT shown in pics went up in flames last night due to touching top of the case http://smilies.vidahost.com/otn/sad/mecry.gif)
DD CSP-Mag
3 Alphacool Cape Cora
MagiCool Plexi Reservoir 400
Innovatek compression fittings
11.2/8 Tygon R3603 (I was led the believe this was the right size for the fittings I bought but doesn't seem to fit right:shrug: )
Antec NeoHE 380
30GB Maxtor & 20GB Seagate HDD
Innovatek Protect fluid

http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/6170/innovatekfittingskm6.jpg

I'm not expecting any great performance out of this system and soon as I use up all the fluid I bought (enough for 2 more re-fills), I'll likely switch it to an all copper/brass setup with an Apogee Extreme and a BIP.

how is the system? filled? running?

Just finished modding a Stacker 830 SE, was kindda hard as the emplacement for the rad couldn't be used due to the PWM heatsinks on the mobo... So I had to move everything as far as possible to the left side... bundled with the too many connectors on the PC Power Cooling PSU which are impossible to hide lol... this was a pain in the butt to accomplish... really thought these cases were bigger...

Lee what size tubing are you currently using?

Leeghoofd

04-19-2008, 07:13 AM

3/8 it was, my friend thought it was 8/10mm so I bought some new tubing, though when I tried to fit them it was a no go and had to reuse the old ones... pretty cool temp on the Qx at 4ghz around 35°C idle and topping at 57°C under small FFT's ( all coretemps due to Vista )... gonna clean my Thermochill triple rad and use these 3/8's too instead of my thinner tubing...

NuckinFutz77

04-19-2008, 07:42 AM

Couldn't you mount the rad on the underside of the case so that just the fans are on the inside? This is what I'm looking to do with mine (will need the wheels fitted though)

That's an option Nf, but the Swiftech rad is already pretty thick, if you have a thermochill that's even thicker. Me and Nilos transport their pc's regularly to LAN's so a rad on the bottom could be easily damaged... I prefer it to have on the inside as the tubing is also easier to do...

If you look closely the rad is only mounted via 2 screws on Acryl plates...pump also rests on a foam (for vibrations) so the complete setup is pretty easily removable... but a rad on the outside would have made the installation way easier....

I'm looking for a Cosmos S modded case, as I think I can put my Thermochill triple rad on the top of the case... but haven't seem many mods on that case ( yet )

Like I said before the Stacker is huge though once you put in 4 Hd's and 2 optical drives things can get stuffed, and without a modular PSU things get pretty messy on top...

Here's my secondary rig hooked up to my 42" 1080p Westy.

Systems specs:

LL a05 [blowholes up top - needs the airflow in this case]
Cosair 620w
q6600 (b3) [32 idle]
Evga 750i FTW
Swiftech h20-120 Compact
2 x 1gb Dominators 8500 or 2 x 2gb Mushkin 6400, depending on the day
Evga 8800 GTX
HDs: 250 [XP + Vista Ultimate] / 300gb [apps] / 750 [data + media]
Dvico HD tv tuner
Creative x-fi Audio
LG Blu-Ray/HD-DVD player
Plextor DVD-RW
SilenX fans

nb fan has an Antec Stealth on it instead of the leaf blower stock one. If you own this wonderful board, a better fan is a must! Yes, my Dominator fan is missing 6 screws - I just did a diagonal pattern after stripping 2 of them modding the fan. I put in 3 Mini Kazes, and there is a big difference in dBa - another suggestion worth thinking about.

Yeah, its a Swiftech H20-120 Compact. Quite a nifty kit for the small case even though I usually go with discrete parts in most of my rigs. This makes for a clean build, which again, is great for a small case and for optimization of space/value/performance. I use Swiftech Hydro-X in this with a mixture of Fluid-XP+ [clear].

Edit: its around 32 idle/53 load

any problems getting room temp ½" ID tubing over them or did you have to use the hot water trick?

I'm actually using 7/16 tubing and even with that all u need to do is wet the barbs alittle and they slide right on, getting em off is pretty tough b/c of the ridges, but thats why I dont use clamps or zipties this time around. The barbs look really nice too, with 1/2 i think they could slide on very easy

This will sound wierd lol, but I sometimes use a waterbased lubricant (yer laugh all you want guys)

**Head out of the gutter yet??**

and that lets it slip right over the barb.

**No didnt think so, wont be now.**

And its usually a bit easier to pull off again aswell..

I have had this PC together for a while, I haven't posted any pictures of it yet. I decided since I just got a Radeon 3870x2 that I should take some pictures. Sorry for the fingerprints and the slightly cloudy tubes(it has been running for 4 months without a flush/new tubing and its masterkleer). I also didn't dust it before the pictures as I am lazy today :shrug:.

P.S. I am not a photographer.

Dawgdoc

04-25-2008, 01:49 AM

Knet I would get rid of those elbows. 90 degree elbows are HIGHLY restrictive and dramatically reduce flow through the loop.

2 X 45s would be better, but best would really be just the tube with a slight arc to it.

I've had Tygon flatten on me even on even on easy gentle curves...gave up on the stuff due to cost.

zlojack

04-25-2008, 07:39 AM

I use smartcoils because my tygon was starting to kink on the curves. I am probably going to remove it from the longer runs of tubing though, because I'm beginning to find it tacky.

dnb#

04-25-2008, 07:40 AM

nonsense, buy some 1/2 ID 3/4 OD uv resistant r3400 and I'll assure you it doenst kink.

All smaller sizes have thinner walls, I had 3/8 once, but that sucked ass with tight bends. And in some way the r3400 black uv-resistant tubes perform way better as the clear ones :S I've had all kinds of tubing and doing this for about 5 years so I know what I'm talking about :)

But If you don't mind how it looks, it doesn't matter offcourse ;)

System looks great btw!

knet370

04-25-2008, 07:50 AM

And you definitely have to throw away those UGLY smartcoils...why do people still use them, I really don't understand that.....just buy reasonable tygon? I use tygon for about 3,5 years now and never had any kink. and believe me, my previous loops were tight bended. just buy r3400 with thicker walls.

how i wish i didnt needed the smartcoils. prob is, i got a 5/8 od and it kinks really really bad. especially the run on the cpu block to the single rad on the exhaust. man it kinks so bad i had to use smartcoils. but i totally agree smartcoils looks ugly..i may have to use 3/4od the next time i change tubes. for now, it does the trick.

SoulsCollective

04-25-2008, 07:53 AM

Solution: un- and re-bent paperclips and matte-black heatshrink. Looks rather good actually, and certainly much less intrusive than smartcoils.

I think it's not to bad. The Laing should be enough for that setup. I'm running with an Eheim 1048 with CPU/GPU/NB/SB/Mosfets and a 3x120mm rad. I know i could use a better pump but my setup is working fine with good temps. His Laing is alot stronger than my pump.

you are both right ;)

i really have to think about my calbes... but it's :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing narrow in there...

and yes, the pump really is on a limit. i bought the pump, cpu-cooler and radiator from a friend, so i was thinking about adding a second laing ddc (maybe the ultra version) after the nb. i was just wondering, if this really helps my temps (53° at full load; Q6600 b3-stepping @3,2ghz 1,36V).
but i guess it's of-topic in this thread, isn't it?

well 53°c at full load ain´t bad:yepp: I was equally adviced to get a new pump and i did just that. Stupid me, my temps didn´t get any better. My advice for now is try and take care of you cables. ;)

As for everyone hating Tt, yeah kinda. When they decide to leave the Alum for their cases only and make quality WCing products that work well, attitudes around here may change. I mean, ppl can only put up with pumps quitting, res's cracking, weak flow, poorly designed or alum rads, and cpu blocks cracking for so long before they rise up and beat the snot out of someone. ;)

Oh the thing you can't tell what it is....it's a 4 into 1 for running 1/4" tubing for the memory.

this is only a test as i thought to find someone able to made a professional job with this design,like MM or someone else.
if you know someone able to do it will be great, i live in Italy and we have none like MM .

the back it's quite chaotic, but the psu is huge and not modular so i have no so many option ,also to keep clear the back of the psu and take air from the radiator fan

no, are quite noisy but not as the Sanyo Denki 109R1212H1011 on the other rad.

Stoner that is one of the most amazing cases I've ever seen, keep it up!!! (sleeving your psu wires would make it look neater too).

the psu cables are sleeved, the extra cables are witout sleeve (the small lcd on the top, the molex-3pin adapter,led and other).
i'll do it, but i'm not sure to leave the cables in that way or find another solution.

At benching overclocks(which is worst case) depends on realtemp or coretemp. Using coretemp it's about 55C full load and low 40's idle. Realtemp after calibration shows about 10-15C cooler. Thats with QX9650 at 4.5Ghz and 1.57V(the bench speeds). North bridge gets to about 42C with 1.65V under full load.

http://home.comcast.net/~aicjofs/Untitled.jpg

Fans are Yateloon D12SL's. Loudest part is the DVD rom at spin up.

D5 pump.

Glad everyone likes the colors. It was tough getting the liquid to match the GPU shroud. I keep thinking I should have powder coated the inside red...I have sample pictures of colors I'll post later. Next one I'm going to try will be a blue interior.

On that note anyone know about the fans in the OCZ RAM cooler. The LED's are a terribly bright blue. I was thinking 1) snap off the LED's but I don't know for sure they aren't in series with stator, 2) Black nail polish over them, 3) Replace...but I can't find any replacement fans that are thin enough.

Thanks for all the kind comments, because I have seen a lot of TJ07 mods that seem better. :up:

EDIT:

What case is that and how did you mod that side panel?

Silverstone TJ07. I didn't have to mod the side panel, they have one with a window. That said, I DO want to mod the side panel. I'd like to try drilling some holes and placing LEDs in the acrylic so that the outer edge of the window will glow red. I have wanted to do that mod since the beginning but I never get around to ordering the LED's.

Cheers

Indeed, Love the red liquid with black hoses but love the alu GTX less.

Leaving the long running alum/nickel plated/multi metal loop corrosion debate out of it. I think you might be right for just the reason that the copper top replacement might give a more uniform appearance with the copper NB/SB/Regulator heatpipe assembly. I might just do that change, although the GTX holddown will still be silver in color...

Aicjofs, that's my case of choice and a very nice setup up. One question though. How did you get the rear covers and internal structure black? Did you paint them yourself, or is Silverstone now offering it like that off the shelf?

No Silverstone doesn't offer it(they should though huh? :D ) As you probably know the TJ07 comes almost completely apart so powder coating it is easy. Putting all the screws in every hole of the motherboard trays keeps the holes from filling up during the powder coating with the added side effect of having black screws to work with in the end, downside was there seems like 100 holes in that tray. The painting the backside kind of just happened. The masking wasn't good enough and there was a bit of overspary through the air vents near the i/o shield area so the backside got completely powder coated and then the extra power supply grill too to match. I actually do like it better that way.

Here is the unused hard drive cages painted up with some different powder coats to to see some different ideas. Nothing was masked and some sides are coated with different color on top of each other so there is some bleed through. The black in the case was like 90% gloss, I wasn't too fond of it as it ends up a finger print magnet, something with a little more texture on the next build I think will be better. I like the black classic look myself but some people like the flash and bling so had to look at other color schemes too.

Higher gloss Red and White

http://home.comcast.net/~aicjofs/Red_white.JPG

Here's a ugly funky green(You could match the Nvidia green exact if you wanted too, which might look cool, actually if you look at the picture above on the lower left of the red you can see what the green looks like, lighting wasn't good for any of these pictures) and some textured blue.

http://home.comcast.net/~aicjofs/Green_Texture_blue.JPG

The texture up close.

http://home.comcast.net/~aicjofs/Close_up_texture.JPG

A blue (with the bleed through that isn't in the finished product), and a black texture that almost looks dark blue in this lighting. Sorry for the poorly lighted low res pics, but just trying to show ideas.
