coolermaster cosmos?

Love it Maaja!!!!

[De5tr0yer]

what case is this?

cosmos for sure! only question is whether is it S or plain.

[benniebeeker]

cosmos s.... sorry... i thought the triple fans up top would have given it away... ;)

[Fragger]

Maaja if you spun your rad around so the hose barbs were at the back of the case you could have much shorter tubes.

[Patriote]

Ahhh! I love the smell of freshly completed WC Rigs in the morning! :D

[sargatanas]

rig is still in progress, but here's a lil preview:

[Arni]

sargatanas try connect tubing same like Malik here :
http://galeria.shackit.pl/Malik/6/slides/dscf1930ky3.jpg

[[XC] NetburstXE]

@sargatanas - Awesome build. Can you post some more pics?

[sargatanas]

well im fine with the tubing.
loop 1: swiftech res - d5 - black ice 360 gtx (with 6 scythe slipstream) - d-tek
loop 2: swiftech res - d5 - mo-ra2 pro (with 9 scythe slipstream) - nb - 2x mosfet - 2x 9800gx2 - sb.
isn't that easy to change the order of the tube since the sb is covered by the 2 9800gx2 and i needed to put in both 9800gx2 cards at the same time since they are connected.

now, the temps are much better on the gx2 cards. idle ~31-33°c (stock ~60°c), load ~38-40°c (stock 73°c) during gaming a few hours crysis.
well the nb temp...don't know, 38°c seems still hot for wc. on the other hand the nb has much to do with 4 gpu cores and 4 mem stick.

gonna post some more pic later on.
well i'm a bit tired now since i had a lil wisdom tooth operation this morning. after that, i had to finish the wc so i mounted the coolers and tubes.

[Dawgdoc]

Maaja do you have any other fans on your rad other than the Antec BigBoy located at the top?

I dont see any other top holes in the case for venting. How are your temps?

Im curious because I have an Antec 900 that I have been pondering water cooling with keeping everything internal and trying to figure it all out.

Thanks!

[peebee]

sargatanas try connect tubing same like Malik here :
http://www.million-dollar-pc.com/

First of all: Please remove the Hotlink to MDPC.

Second: It won´t work, because he has two loops. So tubing can´t be like Malik´s

@ Sargatanas: Do you have a build log? Would like to see more :)

As Peebee already said: please remove the hotlink (a direct link to a source on someone elses website) of the photo to www.million-dollar-pc.com
Save the photo on your desktop and then you can upload it to an image hoster of your choice. :)

very tidy mate
very nice work on that window!!!

[taylormsj]

Thanks you, i need to wait for chilledpc to get some of the molding back in stock, cos im using old stuff at that isnt the right length, and so i haven't added acrylic to it yet.
I think the pc 7 can be realy neat for cables if you make one or two cuts here and there ..

And I'm still digging the lambo :p:

[ThatGuy16]

Thanks, haha.. i hate!! that poster :ROTF:

[Cptn Vortex]

Can I have that poster?

[ThatGuy16]

no, it covers a hole that needs a good fixin'.. lol:cool:

[Cptn Vortex]

What if I trade for old underwear.

[ThatGuy16]

I'll tell you what, you fix the hole behind the poster. And its yours!


I never realized how ugly that thing is. I need to atleast find a better looking poster... hehe

[Lusken]

If the plans goes as it should I would, in a couple off weeks, got Watercooling! N' just for CPU og GPU.

[Janno]

i hate you all who bought rocketfish cases for dimes!
(not really, it's envy talking)
what i meant was - very sleek build, ThatGuy16 :up:

[lennox]

ThatGuy16... what's with the D5? You can put 3/8" tubing on a D5 with a little lovin...

[ThatGuy16]

I tried, i pretty much concluded it impossible. The OD on my tubing 5/8, not easy to stretch lol. I don't know if theres a difference, thats a MCP655

[Maaja]

Maaja do you have any other fans on your rad other than the Antec BigBoy located at the top?

well i have not done anything serious, but as far as the temps, the top my cpu has seen is 22C... thats playing crysis

[Utnorris]

Man you must have some low ambient temps to be pulling off 22c under load. Do you keep the room at almost 0c? Just curious as that seems real low for a load temp. :)

Although I partially agree with you, the fact that this is the "Water Cooled Case Gallery", everything is suppose to look immaculate. It also doesn't cost any money to shove cables out of sight.

And also, is 50 C under load really that good?

[Papu]

ha poor guy , i think it looks alright

[The0men]

No need to flame because his system doesnt meet your standards.

But on that note, being a gallery, people like to look at systems where alot of effort has
been applied, but a little cable management wouldn't go a stray InsaneOne.

Your temps are good though.

In before, "Laff it's a kit!"

It looks alright though. I like your case.

[unkn0wnhacka]

I bought this kit because i used it in a customers computer and it works great.
It installs easy... fits outside the case perfect and looks cool :)
Im only keeping this setup for a little bit anyways... im selling it on ebay or in my computer shop soon :) I just like building them and selling them lol. I think im leaving AMD for the first time EVER... ive never built an intel but im not getting any satisfaction from AMD and they will slowly burn in hell if things dont get better :)

im at 2.8 and its only 35c

not too bad :)

[SparkyJJO]

And also, is 50 C under load really that good?

at 4GHz sure is I'd say

[fungry]

Nice setup unkn0wnhacka.

Regarding the earlier posts, this thread does not need negative feedback but rather constructive feedback. If you don't think it doesn't look that great, why not give some tips. It doesn't hurt putting out suggestions.
At 50C on load, the temps are not at its best but at least it isn't that bad.

Everything was moved from old (mid tower) case .... and was used as is ... :D :D ... Actually, ClearFlex tube seems to get cloudy so fast ...maybe tubes are exposed to light too much (while in old case, I had the side panel wide open)? Any way to clean them without taking them apart?

Modzona... I really like what youve done with your SATA power cables between hard drives :up:
Care to teach us a bit about that :yepp:

[fungry]

Those are 90 degree sata cables. Dont' really know what they are specifically call but the SATA port on one end of the cable is perpendicular. I believe he just had them run down and then ziptied them so it won't get messy. that way the sata cables will stay together.

:shrug:

Nice setup though and I really like that keyboard :D. Old school.

There's a brief guide on how to do this on the Xtreme mods forum here (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=122152). How easy this is to do depends largely on the SATA connectors used by your PSU. If they're easy to remove, it's simple:up:.

That tiewrap (pink) on the fitting of the gpu waterblock isn't enough imho...
The tubing might slide off slowly... been there done that ;)
You'd better use something stronger to keep that tubing on there...

[Schmetterling]

I cant wait to build my 2nd Watercooling, I have learnt a lot of my mistakes, and will try not to repeat them.

I got 1/4rd of my order shipped to my place.
http://www.imgx.org/pfiles/7919/IMG_6101%20%28Large%29.jpg

You got almost the same stuff lying there as what I go in my postbox two days ago haha. I already have my CPU/GPU blocks lying at home, ordered my NB block from EK today together with some Tygon tubing which hopefully arrives next week.

I hope to get all of this including the radiator inside my Lian LI :)

Ive got a hose clamp on the line from the 120mm rad to the cpu block. I only need it on those 2 cuz there the only ones that were sorta loose. The other ones wont come off unless i cut them.

Well here's my new build, enjoy ;)


Still bleeding the loop so lots of tiny bubbles are visible.

Seems you put a lot of effort in it. :)
Thanks :up:
My biggest hobby is my computer so yes, most of my spare time goes into it. I've customized al of my waterblocks.
The CPU block is a TDX for socket 939 which I made a custom LGA775 mount for. The base of the TDX is also bowed [CLICK] (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?p=2703245#post2703245).
Same thing for the chipset block. Its a Maze4 NF4 so originally it doesn't fit P35/X38 chipsets, so i made a custom mount for it also.
The EK waterbloks came with ugly black bolts which I replaced with nice chrome ones. The chrome ones look way better with the chrome fittings imho.

TDX 939 custom mount:

No, it's just regular PC Ice Clear. Tygon Silver Anti-Microbial tubing.

Looks whitish in the reservoir due to millions of tiny air bubbles created by the cyclone in the EK res. Does anyone know how to stop that by the way ? :confused:

The EK waterbloks came with ugly black bolts which I replaced with nice chrome ones. The chrome ones look way better with the chrome fittings imho.

I also replaced the ugly black bolts but with polished stainless steel caps and had the alloy heatsink copper plated to match the rest. Polished the block as well.

[smee]

Polished the block as well.

Hey man, looks great!
But, even though polishing makes it look sexy, it does not help performance... in fact it worsens performance.
It's like putting lubricant on a table surface, it makes it slippery and you have no grip at all, same goes with thermal heat transfers, it's a layer between the copper and coolant/copper and CPU/GPU.

Just a heads up. :up:

BTW, @Canine, :shocked: HOLY COW!!! That looks simply amazing dude. :up:
Excellent job there. :clap:

[Fragger]

Only polished the part that the coolant dosent touch, so no loss of performance which is outstanding ;)

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

The rougher the surface the more surface area the coolant has to contact and also more turbulance is created which is also a good thing.

For better pics, you can reduce Iso to lowest possible setting (50, 100) and therefore you

[Vatos_locos]

xpatar how the block performs ? if you compare it with the D-tek Fusion ?
i need a new block and i can't decide witch on of those two :(

[xpatar]

xpatar how the block performs ? if you compare it with the D-tek Fusion ?

Well I can't tell about the D-tek Fusion cause I haven't tested it.
The swiftech Apogee GT is simple awesome, it has the same baseplate with Apogee GTX and with my rig running four instances of prime95 at the same time for 10 hours the temps never went over 50 Celcius degrees.
Remember, I got a C2DQ 6600 G0 revision running @ 3.2GHz, 1.3v.
Of course you may have better temps with your rig with better cooling as each rig is unique.
Anyway I would recommend it to you as an excellent cpu waterblock.

Note: I had to remove the passive cooler of my asus maximus formula cause it wouldn't fit at first. It's an apogee GT waterblock so go for an Agogee GTX,
same base plate, better compatibility with new motherboards, excellent performance.:up:

[SoulsCollective]

xpatar how the block performs ? if you compare it with the D-tek Fusion ?
i need a new block and i can't decide witch on of those two :(The Apogee GT with bowed base will give you equal or perhaps slightly better than the D-Tek FuZion Rev. 1, however the Apogee is a more restrictive block. The D-Tek FuZion Rev. 2 will give you better temps than the Apogee GT at a lower impedance.

[Fragger]

The Apogee GT with bowed base will give you equal or perhaps slightly better than the D-Tek FuZion Rev. 1, however the Apogee is a more restrictive block. The D-Tek FuZion Rev. 2 will give you better temps than the Apogee GT at a lower impedance.

I thought the D Tek was more restrictive :shrug:? Especially when you start putting nozzles in it.

[sargatanas]

ty @ all =)

[peebee]

I made a test, where the D-Tek was better than the Apogee GTX (should be better than GT) bowed and unbowed the same. Unbowed the GTX was very restrictive (~259l/h), bowed it was better. (385l/h). D-Tek had 439l/h without Nozzles and ~350l/h with Quad-split-nozzle. (Loops same always with CPU-Block, a DDC+, Rad, Flowmeter and Tempsensors) Delta was ~29°C with Nozzle in FuZion and 33°C without Nozzle. Apogee GTX had ~35°C bowed and ~38,5°C unbowed.

But that all depends on the quality of the block you get. And I tell you: buy 10 Apogees and you will get 8 different results ^^

Lately it was getting pretty hot here in Holland so i decided to ad a extra 120mm rad to my setup. I am someone who has so have all the components of the PC inside the case but there is not much space left.

I modded a old Lian-Li EX-34B HDD bay for an 120mm radiator.

Here is a pic of the stock Lian Li HDD bay.

http://www.tdjdata.se/images/gtek_EX34B_1.jpg

I cut of the HDD bay itself so only the front was left. Then i mounted the 120mm rad on to it and here is the result.

About 40 idle and 50 stressed for the CPU. Keep in mind that i have my watercooling for silence and not for low temps or OC'ing. I'm running with Papst fans, all of them on 7 volts.

The core of the 8800 is about 40 idle also and about 47 stressed.

Tubing is regular Tygon 3/8ID and 1/2OD tubing, the coolant is PrimoChill Blood Red - entire syringe was used to color the coolant. It does stain your tubing, when I drained my loop the tubing was a see through light red, but I'm not planning on changing colors and I got about 20 feet to Tygon sitting in my closet.:shrug:

I modded a Thermaltake Tribe set, put in 2x 120mm radiators and an Eheim 1048 pum instead of the stock thing. Also added the RAM cooling.

But is it really that bad?:confused:

Very Good Case.

[matt100]

Hehe, i did before this mod :P

I dont really use the thing anyway so it doesnt matter. I hoped it would fit with the extra rad and the DVD player but thats just not the case.

When i need it i'll just install it for a while on my desk and remove it when done with it.

yay!! another person who wants watercooling over optical drives :) I connect my old sata dvdrw via esata when I need it now, which is hardly ever! Nice build :)

[MayDay84]

Did a little upgrade to my chaos rig. Changed to pump to Laing DDC, reservoir to a tractor brake fluid tank and added the Black Ice 120mm radiator to front of case attached to Scythe Kama Bay (http://www.scythe-usa.com/product/acc/008/sckb1000_detail.html)..Yea, and GPU got AC Accelero S1 with 80mm cooler standing on screw legs under it (120mm coming soon..) :) Here's how it used to look like before:

From a positive point of view why do you give directly water from the pump to the waterblock?
Pump also produces heat.
I think you'd better change your loop to:
Reservoir-pump-radiator-waterblock-reservoir.

Just cursing here the block 'cos it sucks!! It's Zalman WB4-Gold..It doesn't move the heat well enough to water because my cpu (3.2GHz) is idle over 50c now and the water is about 30c degrees..The cpu HS is straightened so the contact should be fine..

Reservoir-pump-radiator-waterblock-reservoir.

Aw, I wish someone told me that before I set up my tline. Thanks for the info though. If I ever take the loop appart again I will be sure to put it in that order. No idea why I put it that way though. I had nobody to help me so I just followed the instructions in the manual lolz.

"11) How should the water flow in my loop? Pump -> Radiator -> Chipset 1 & 2 -> GPU 1 & 2 -> Reservoir? or _________________?????

posted by Atomicpineapple: Loop order makes no difference as long as your resevoir/tline is before your pump. Overall water temp difference around a well balanced WC loop is less than 1 Deg C.

posted by MaxxxRacer: Loop order is something that almost always confused people that are new to watercooling. So here is a general rule to follow. Pump>Radiator>CPU>GPU(if implemented)>NB(if implemented)>Reservoir. This is the most efficient way of setting up your system. But there are a few exceptions to this general rule. First, is that it is generally better to have the shortest amount of tubing with the least amount of bends in it. So that means if it takes a lot of tubing or some 90 degree bends to get the loop order that I just suggested, don’t do it. Figure out a way to have it where these bends and extra tubing are not need. But there is one rule of order that you must never break. That is to have the reservoir right before the pump. If you do not follow this rule it will guaranteed hurt the performance of the system and cause the pump to be starved for water. One more thing to keep in mind is to NEVER use 90 degree bent barbs in your system. They are absolute and total flow killers. Using them will most surely hurt your performance.";)

@xpatar: The myth is that it has no singnificant impact on the temps. So when recommending people to change their loop order it can be a reassuring also to tell it has no big impact on the temps. Few people will change their set-up for 0.19c or less.

We are looking for the most efficient setup of the loop even if the temps are less

Mine is slightly off but w/e, I am happy with my temps and my cpu speeds. Not many people hit 4 ghz on a quad.

[Vatos_locos]

Well I can't tell about the D-tek Fusion cause I haven't tested it.
The swiftech Apogee GT is simple awesome, it has the same baseplate with Apogee GTX and with my rig running four instances of prime95 at the same time for 10 hours the temps never went over 50 Celcius degrees.
Remember, I got a C2DQ 6600 G0 revision running @ 3.2GHz, 1.3v.
Of course you may have better temps with your rig with better cooling as each rig is unique.
Anyway I would recommend it to you as an excellent cpu waterblock.

Note: I had to remove the passive cooler of my asus maximus formula cause it wouldn't fit at first. It's an apogee GT waterblock so go for an Agogee GTX,
same base plate, better compatibility with new motherboards, excellent performance.:up:

The Apogee GT with bowed base will give you equal or perhaps slightly better than the D-Tek FuZion Rev. 1, however the Apogee is a more restrictive block. The D-Tek FuZion Rev. 2 will give you better temps than the Apogee GT at a lower impedance.

I made a test, where the D-Tek was better than the Apogee GTX (should be better than GT) bowed and unbowed the same. Unbowed the GTX was very restrictive (~259l/h), bowed it was better. (385l/h). D-Tek had 439l/h without Nozzles and ~350l/h with Quad-split-nozzle. (Loops same always with CPU-Block, a DDC+, Rad, Flowmeter and Tempsensors) Delta was ~29°C with Nozzle in FuZion and 33°C without Nozzle. Apogee GTX had ~35°C bowed and ~38,5°C unbowed.

But that all depends on the quality of the block you get. And I tell you: buy 10 Apogees and you will get 8 different results ^^


@Sargatanas: Greetz from NRW ;)

thanks guys the prize here in Greece is the same for the two blocks 55€ so i decided to go for the d-tec (http://www.plaisio.gr/product.aspx?catalog=20&category=69977777&product=933937)the loop will be something like this

tank > ehaim 1250 > triple rad > D-tec > maybe dual rad > Enzotech SNBW-SLI > Swifteck MCW30 > tank

i don't know if the dual rad would do anything better in temps so i still don't know if i'am going to use it :/

[l33t p1mp]

You should add a second pump. Would be better than a second rad.

[Vatos_locos]

the pump is looking good 1200L/h :/ i don't want to add a second pump because i am bored of getting in so much trouble :D
if i add a second pump then it is better to make a spare loop for the chipset & vga with the dual rad :/


so i might just put a triple ran and nothing more :p

Get some 90 Degree barb fittings for your radiator and get rid of those ridiculous loops of tubing sticking off the back.

Major props for this, i couldnt make that tubing run when i had my MICrores in that position, its very tight, well done :up:
Thanks :)
I was unable to find a better place for that.

You can insert the tubing first then mount the Res, that's what I did and it was a piece of cake.


:eek: i just realized:shakes: your loop order, i think it could be a lot better, flow wise

Yea, earlier I got the pump wrong, I changed the loops order to this now
Res > pump > Rad > CPU > NB > GPU > Res
the flow is really good, just as fast as my previous CPU + GPU loop, since I gave much attention to any possible kinks.

Very Good Case.

Thanks you :up:

The case is not completed yet, I have mounted green LEDs behind the fuzion mounting plate to give it a back-lit effect, still working on it.

This was written by Cathar, liquid cooling expert and manufacturer of the G4 and G5 waterblocks (and designer of Swiftech's new 'Storm G4' flagship CPU block
"HOW MUCH PUMP IS ENOUGH? HOW MUCH PUMP IS TOO MUCH?

Broad guidelines on pump selection:

* DO NOT select a pump that draws more than 50W of power. Performance will not improve further and the pump will be drawing more power than is needed, effectively being a waste of electricity which just shows up on your power bill. Pumps drawing much more power than 50W will actually make your CPU hotter.
* In general avoid pumps that put more than 16W of heat into the water per 120x120mm of radiator area (or equivalent). Match your pump to your available radiator capacity so that pump heat is not a major player in your water's temperature. In general, try to keep pump heat to radiator capacity down below 12W of pump heat per 120x120mm of radiator area.
* Try to choose a separated armature pump (spinning magnet around the impeller) as opposed to a canned motor (eg. Laing style), or electro-magnet motor (eg. Eheim style) as the separated armature design minimises motor heat transferral into the water
* Avoid pumps with less than 1.0mH2O of pumping pressure at 3.5LPM flow rate (or 3' of pressure @ 1gpm), unless you have a very specific need for some particular pump (space requirements). Such pumps are too weak and performance will suffer noticably.
* Try to avoid "high flow" pumps (pumps with >20LPM peak flow rates). Such pumps tend to have the wrong impeller design and flow characteristics for water-cooling use.
* Choose pumps with at least 6LPM of peak flow rate
* Choose pumps with at least 1.5mH2O (5') of peak pressure
* When trying to decide between two pumps where one pump has more peak flow than another pump, then so long as the rated peak flow rates are at or above 10LPM, always choose the pump that has the higher peak pressure rating, over the pump that has the higher peak flow rating. If the peak pressures are about equal, but both offer peak flow rates above 10LPM, choose the pump with the lower peak flow rate as it will add less heat to your system."
