What fluid is that? I want some!

I use Feser Red Dye available here (http://www.petrastechshop.com/feviacuvdyer.html). It's a pretty dark red in normal light and a dark red-orange under UV.

Beautiful pictures in your Soldam links.

Regarding elpibe10l rigs I agree! Those are indeed some BEAUTIFUL cases and you do some very nice clean work.

I had a popup on your homepage from some silly dating service, but other than that you are obviously an experienced, meticulous computer enthusiast :)

I'm currently planning a white build myself based on a Silverstone TJ07. Was having some difficulty picturing what it would look like finished as I haven't seen any other cases in white, but seeing your case has really helped.

Strange that you chose the Silverstone HDD module for a Lian-Li case when I was thinking about using a Lian-Li HDD module on a Silvertone TJ07 :rofl:

So many nice rigs here :eek:

This is my first WC rig and I seriously made lots of mistakes. I'm going to repaint the case, redo the whole WC setup, add 8800GT to loop and mount rad inside the case. Maybe even get rid of res and add T fitting. I would be very glad if someone would point out what is wrong in my WC setup so I don't made same mistakes again. I mean really point out everything what is wrong, don't hesitate, make me cry, its all good. Ofcourse you cannot see pump which is hidden in 5.25" slots. Don't have any pics of that, but I think no-one even wants to see it :)

Going to take more pics when I have done everything right :)

In the pic above. When you redo the loop make sure you change the intake of the CPU block to the bottom. You want the water flowing in from the bottom to the top to eliminate any possibility of their being bubbles at the top of the CPU block.

Other than that, nice looking rig and good cable management :up:

Looks like kind of a light load for such a big rad, I'd be surprised if it couldn't keep such low temps. Most ppl here could run that on a PA120.3 with only slightly warmer temps (if not equal). It also puts a massive burden on your pump with all the 180° bends, restriction wise, that's probably at least 10 PA120.3's worth. What was the load and how long was it applied?

How did you mount the PSU that way? Using the standard V2000 PSU plate, the PSU is upside down here with the fan drawing air in from the top. Turning it around doesn't work; the power switch hits the circular shape in the plate.

Mine is kinda junky. Gotta chop off all the extra tubing, put in a t-line, put in better coolant, do a bootleg fan mod so I can cool my ram better, and turn by rad around. I was bored as hell, so I made a vid. Its pretty bad because I didnt edit it yet.

You must have been really bored to feel a need to make videos of your computer. I think if you replace the coolant with either blue or clear and cut out all the extra tubing it will look quite nice. I'm not really a fan of it now because the green coolant and all the extra tubing.

Shocker, I like but...I think you need to remove those restrictive Alphacool blocks. I think that's your biggest problem now, that and maybe 12/10 tubing next time, 8mm I.D. is still a bit small.

[smee]

and my temp ís still high:confused:

The reason your temps are high is because having smaller tubing will make the pump push the water through really fast, water going TOO fast by the copper on the waterblock CAN create heat.

You should look into getting chipset blocks like the MCW30's (http://www.petrastechshop.com/swmcchco.html) or some EK's (http://www.petrastechshop.com/ek5unchwaa.html), and maybe some 7/16" ID tubing (http://www.petrastechshop.com/7id5odmagepu.html).
You've got quality components in your rig, but you can cool it better with an air cooler compared to some of the watercooling gear you've got in there now.

I think your doing a great job improving on this build, some here might not like some of the things you've got.
But what really matters is if YOU like it and that it WORKS. :up:

Keep up the good work m8!

CM690 modded and painted. Dual loops with a PA 120.3 on each. The GPU loop is supposed to be SLI but Im waiting on an RMA for the 2nd card. The CPU loop is going to include the FETs and the NB in the future which is why I have it on its own loop.

This is only my 2nd loop ever (first one was about 2 weeks ago) so please feel free to critique! Im not thin skinned and would appreciate any comments or advice.

The wires need a tad more tidying, and I need to trim my fill lines as well as perhaps reposition the one going to the top pump. I also am going to get some modders mesh and make a cover for the lower right open area which used to be HD bays to cover up the wires stuffed behind there.

:D

WOW! Excellent job there m8!! :up:

Looks great. What GPU block(s) are you using? MCW60 or D-Tec GFX?

[Dawgdoc]

MCW-60 :)

I think its a decent job, but Im really not happy with the position of the top pump located a the bottom of the 5.25 bays. You cant see it, its hidden in those pics from the fill lines.

Thx for the encouraging words :)

Any recommendations/suggestions always appreciated.

I cool! I didn't even think of the pump, couldn't see it! :p:

No problem!

One thing that I personally don't like seeing to much is empty tubing.... like at the top of your T-lines, I would fill them up and hide the ends of them somewhere in the 5.25" bay area.
So then all you would see are the black T's and green liquid filled tubing, thats what I like :up:

[[XC] NetburstXE]

I personally think you should switch to black or green coolant. Green just isn't my style for coolant. Also, as smee said, shortening some of the tubing would definitely improve the looks. Other than that, looks good.

[Shocker003]

The reason your temps are high is because having smaller tubing will make the pump push the water through really fast, water going TOO fast by the copper on the waterblock CAN create heat.

Am using 7/16 tygon tubing and my pump is much stronger than the D5 at 18v.

You should look into getting chipset blocks like the MCW30's (http://www.petrastechshop.com/swmcchco.html) or some EK's (http://www.petrastechshop.com/ek5unchwaa.html), and maybe some 7/16" ID tubing (http://www.petrastechshop.com/7id5odmagepu.html).
You've got quality components in your rig, but you can cool it better with an air cooler compared to some of the watercooling gear you've got in there now.

I don´t think any air setup will handle a B3 at 3.4Ghz better i feel the problem might be my rad.

I think your doing a great job improving on this build, some here might not like some of the things you've got.
But what really matters is if YOU like it and that it WORKS. :up:
Thanks pal :up:


Shocker, I like but...I think you need to remove those restrictive Alphacool blocks. I think that's your biggest problem now, that and maybe 12/10 tubing next time, 8mm I.D. is still a bit small.

Maybe i will change them in future becos of looks, but they are doing their jobs well. My chipsets 9°c above room temp when my cpu is idle.

The only thing i dont like are the fan grills, the rest looks good, im not sure about your temperatures, what are you room temps, what fans are you using, and i dont know much about your pump, is it powerfull enough?

My core 0 is always 15°c above the room temp and core 1 and 3 are equally 11°c above the room temp too(idle). 100% load they can reach 56°c for the hottest core with room temp at 25°c. As for the fan grill i had to install them becos, i once got a cut on my finger from the exhaust fan. I use three silverstone FM 121 fans on my rad. I dont know if the rad can really handle the heat from all the hardware in my loop. Am thinking of adding a Swiftech MCR220 240mm Radiator to my loop, but i don´t know if it will help.:confused:

My problem is how can i get my cpu cooler,:( the NB and SB don´t run hot expect when i have the cpu at 100% load. I don´t think that 9°c above room temp when idle is bad for my chipset. please correct me if am wrong
Meanwhile am using 7/16" tubing.

doesn't effect temps though. flow doesn't either. only when you have a difference of 100gpm / 1200gpm It's all a bit too overrated.

just don't use thermal compound and lap your IHS and block as good as possible. I got rid of the compounds, and now my loads went from 62c to 54c. :S

Do you have any idea what you're talking about? The only case in which not using TIM will improve your temps is if you apply far too much.

im not a guru but isnt the purpose of TIM is to help heat transfer/conduction become more efficient? atleast thats what i knew..its been around for like for years.. i dont know..this may be a new discovery and tim manufactures havent noticed it yet..

[knet370]

NetburstXE;2966523']Gigabyte Aurora.

its gigabyte 3d mars to be precise..

[SoulsCollective]

im not a guru but isnt the purpose of TIM is to help heat transfer/conduction become more efficient? atleast thats what i knew..its been around for like for years.. i dont know..this may be a new discovery and tim manufactures havent noticed it yet..As NetburstXE, disruptfam and myself have above pointed out, this advice is arse. You're correct in that the purpose of TIM is to improve heat transfer - no surface is ever completely flat right down at the microscopic level; what may be flat to the eye or the micrometer will in reality be covered in peaks and valleys. Therefore, you do not get perfect contact between the IHS and the baseplate, and therefore, thermal transfer is less efficient.

The purpose of TIM is to fill in these microscopic valleys, and thus increase the area of the two surfaces that is in contact - and thus increase thermal transfer. However, if you're ham-fisted in your application of TIM and smother the surfaces in contact, you'll actually decrease thermal transfer - no matter the product, TIM is less efficient at conducting heat than perfect metal-to-metal contact, and so it will actually serve as an insulator.

Apply sparingly in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and remember that the flatter the surfaces in contact the less TIM required and you'll be fine, but above all else do not listen to dnb#'s advice here.

you guys are definitely right about the TIM, but can you explain why my temps dropped so heavily with just 2 flat surfaces on eachother? I can't but it works freakn great. And NO I didn't put too much or not enough TIM on my cpu / block. One thing is certain, 200gpm more flow and 4feet less tubing doesn't help you to drop the temps, not more than 1c thats for sure.

about the TIM don't listen to me and smoke your cpu. But I'll never use this peanutbutter again.

You've just contradicted yourself. Your temps are better without you applying TIM than they are with but your recognise the essential thermal mechanics that are working here - therefore you applied too much TIM.

You don't have a clue whether I added too much. I know I didn't, because I used watercooling for about 5 years. 90% of this topic is new into WC. and they definitely can't tell me how to get better temps. All the theoretic nonsense about flow for example are just different in real life. there are so many factors...

[SoulsCollective]

You don't have a clue whether I added too much. I know I didn't, because I used watercooling for about 5 years.
How else would you like to explain it then, short of a poor mount every time you installed your block using TIM? Magical temperature fairies temporarily suspending the laws of thermodynamics inside your case?

In any case, this is all a bit off-topic and really deserves its own thread. For your viewing pleasure, I leave you with...

There's something very odd going on if you're not using and TIM there dnb. you must have the flattest surfaces ever and used 10000 grit paper to polish both sides!

This can only be obtained by machine milling not by hand mate... secondly you got a swiftech block which are known to be almost 100% perfect, no need to sand there...as you prolly make it worse

a little bit of TIM is never bad...

But by the way nice build man, great job... same remark for Carey too... can we have more pictures form Down under

dnb#, please tell me you lapped the GTX while it was bowed. :rofl::ROTF:

Blocks should NEVER be lapped, especially if they've been bowed purposely. Most (if not all) blocks today are machined flat (much flatter than you'll get it by hand), unless you have been lapping things for years as part of your job, you are more than likely to screw it up. Yes, it may be flat...but is it parallel?

My IHS + GTX the GTXs' copper was pretty dirty and definitely not even near flat. the IHS of my e6750 was actually better than i've seen so far imo.

I don't understand you guys thinkin that I don't know what I'm doing, probably better than the most in here :shrug: have had 10+ al different setups included chillers and tec's. so I've had all the problems that are possible to run up to.

I bought the GTX because of this nice inner structure and mostly because it was proven to be nice and flat. Dissapointed me though. lapped it once, after 2 months in use another time + the IHS and now it's running great with a 120.2 BIS lite w/ 800rpm fans. 56c full stressed after 30 mins at 3.8ghz+ 1.475

drb, if you looked at a perfectly two flat polished surfaces with a microscope, you would see it looks like a mountain range. actually they would mate with alot of airspace. im sure you could figure the percentage of non contact if you measured the peaks and valleys. this is were the thermal paste comes in, to fill the valleys. less paste is good, as long as you get 100% contact. do a google search on surface finish, and you can learn more about this subject. respectly, randy.

LOL, I lapped my GTX.... On a calibrated Granite surface table, and it is something I do in my job....

To be honest, if I bought another one, I wouldn't waste my time....

Your right... The center was rediculessly flat, ie not measurable, and the parts not touching the table were only the corners where the cap screws are. Which you wouldn't want touching anyway.

I also lapped CPU, and I'm glad I did this, the IHS was rather concaved, but thats to be expected, its just solder, and the metal will contract while its solidifying. I just lapped untill it was all copper, only lap with light pressure so it maintains its natural shape, and didnt bother polishing until the cows come home... only went to p1500.

Guarentee theres no gain beyond about p600.

Totally your prerogative to make that mistake. nik is one of the more trust worthy members that does testing here. Many here wait for his word on what blocks to buy or avoid, if you wish to ignore his testing, then that's your problem.

LOL, I lapped my GTX.... On a calibrated Granite surface table, and it is something I do in my job....

To be honest, if I bought another one, I wouldn't waste my time....

Your right... The center was rediculessly flat, ie not measurable, and the parts not touching the table were only the corners where the cap screws are. Which you wouldn't want touching anyway.

I also lapped CPU, and I'm glad I did this, the IHS was rather concaved, but thats to be expected, its just solder, and the metal will contract while its solidifying. I just lapped untill it was all copper, only lap with light pressure so it maintains its natural shape, and didnt bother polishing until the cows come home... only went to p1500.

Guarentee theres no gain beyond about p600.

Table.....plate....what's the difference? :lol2:

Ironically, I have a 12"x9"x3" Granite surface plate here and it's the only thing I recommend for lapping. Even a Grade B surface plate is flatter than any piece of glass and if your lucky, you can find them on the cheap.

If your the type that goes looking for every last MHz and every last °C, lapping the CPU is a must, even under these conditions, the block still shouldn't be touched, despite what some might say.

[smee]

If your the type that goes looking for every last MHz and every last °C, lapping the CPU is a must, even under these conditions, the block still shouldn't be touched, despite what some might say.

To lap my QX6700 ES or not to lap. That is the question..... :rolleyes:

It is really flat already, but I wouldn't mind getting it flatter at least on the corners of the chip....
Do you think it'd be worth it?

Utnorris what case is that? custom?

[Utnorris]

Thank you guys for the comments, I really, really appreciate it. As far as PSU, I ended up using the OCZ Gamestream 700watt. Its not modular, but I have plenty of room for the extra cables. I am using just distilled water with anti-algae, although I had used red color water last time and unfortunately some of that tint is left over. Still trying to figure out what I can use to clear it up a bit, maybe a couple drops of bleach? Probably not, :). The case is one I built out of acrylic. I wanted something like the DD, but a little bigger and not so expensive, so I built one myself. Not quite as good as DD with their laser cuts, but overall I am happy with the final results. I just can't wait to fire it up, crossing fingers, and see how it looks with the blue LED fans running. Anyway, thanks again everyone for the comments.

I think you will find as far as cooling it would be similiar, however it may be more restrictive with two duals vs. a single triple. I had asked the guys over at Petra's and that seemed to be their thoughts on it. The only reason I a did two duals was because I already had one and it just seemed to be the best option for me. I really think it will come down to your pump selection and how restrictive your other loop components will be, i.e. the EK Supreme is more restrictive than the D-Tek Fusion. Check out the flow estimator to get an idea of which might be better for you, it's a great tool to get an estimation of how restrictive your parts will be.

I took it of the stand and mounted it on the out side of one of the legs.
Than I bend it over. I ziptied it to the other leg for some extra support (not really needed)
The screws on the outside are not used, just put them there so I don't lose them.

There is an older estimator that I have attached that should have your stuff. As far as you question, here is the response from Alex Venz gave me when I asked pretty much the same thing.

"People have had mixed results with that approach... Putting two radiators into a system can improve performance beyond that of a single 3-fan radiator, provided that the added pressure drop (and, thus, lower coolant flowrate) doesn't negate the performance gain from the added surface area. Since you're using a DDC-3.1, I think that the flowrate difference would be pretty minimal so, if you have room, a second double fan radiator may be a better solution.
Best regards,

Thanks for the kind words guys :up: took a good while to finally get all the cables hidden the way I wanted them. The tubing is clear, it's the coolant additive that is gives it it's green color. It's also UV reactive so I'm planning on also putting a UV light on the bottom to really make the green tubes jump out. :)

How did you mount them onto the graphics cards?? thinking of doing something similar in my build

[DarthBeavis]

via dremel is more fun...lasercut need no skills ;)

i know some local companies, where i can made lasercuts for $$$, but its not "real" modding in my opinion - handmade rocks :D

It is all modding just different tools dude. As for skills . . .can you use Solidworks and CAD? Those are skills ;) If you had a laser in your garage you would drop the dremel and use it . . .

Very nice Fragger! I plan on doing an external radiator box some time this summer, much like yours.

[H2omg]

@Fragger

How do you have your radiator fixed? It looks like it's attached to the wall or something. I'd like a better picture of the radiator setup itself : D

[Fragger]

The rad is attached to a clear piece of plastic which is bolted to my desk. Must thank Dave my plastic guy who made many parts for this build, cheers mate :up:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t168/beveldrive/rad.jpg

Being external the rad gets colder air and space is not an issue. This pa 120.3 only cost me 6 British pounds more than a 120.2:yepp: It really is overkill at the moment but I will use the northbridge cooler (Asus) on my next mobo and the chip will no doubt produce more heat. The GPU (8800 GTS) now idles 20 degrees lower than air which blows me away.
Im glad you all like it as it is my first build but I think it goes far beyond a normal first build and it has never leaked :D

[the monk]

awesome rig fragger.....

[Leeghoofd]

Is ttere a reason Fragger you run ya dimms next to oneanother ? is that not single channel then ? (I assume it's an Asus mobo I'm seeing in ya rig...)
Great build but not for me as I need to transport the rig many many times to LANs

Nice set-up but man those small boston cube speakers? I had a set of those with a sub that came new on an old gateway 466MHz, those things gotta be around 10 years old! :ROTF:

That is one sweet looking rig. Alien like!

Well spotted, dual channel no longer works. To remove the right side panel of the case I must unscrew the mobo as it attaches directly to it which is a major PITA. The last time I did this dual channel would not work when I got it all back together. Must be time for an upgrade ;)
Yeah it is a permanent installation.

Mirrors rock
