Nice setup there, very clean (wiring needs a little work; but no dust, haha j/k).... Still don't get why GER wasserkuhler are small dia tubing and US watercooling is big bore tubing.

ps... are those pics really two years old?

no my ******* cam resets the Date when i start the cam , ******in crap :D

yes wiring needs a little work , when i have free time i put my hands on ;)

i think its all the same , which tubing u use^^ the flow is ok , too

the temperatures are also very good..so why do all american watercooling users , take this **** big tubings ?

i think it looks not very good with big tubings :(

are there in US no shops , where u can buy this "normal" tubings?

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

Its actually an Alphacool NexXxos tripple 120mm but it does look very similar to the XSPC 120-T and has the same size 1/4" fittings, difference is in price, I paid a bit over £30 for that rad from www.candccentral.co.uk whereas the XSPC is about £45. While I cant compare its performance to the likes of a PA120.3 or any of the other top performing radiators I can say its well built (and I do like the chromed shroud for fan attachments!) and came with all screws necessary for attachment of both fans and the radiator to the case, also included were rubber grommets to reduce fan vibration noise. Obviously its much better than my old setup of a dual 80mm and single 80mm Asetek Waterchill radiators.

This stuff comes next week;

- A case called aerocool Masstige to replace my Aopen H600B(got that already)
- A PSU from Seasonic 600W to replace my LC-Power 550W
- A MCP 655 swiftech pump to replace my eheim 1048
- Nexxxus dual extreme rad + grill instead of my heavy tractor rad.(got that already)
- A swiftech storm block instead of my zern pq +, a copple of sharp razor blades for popping of the ihs.
- Maze 4 for my x800gto² thats heating up my chipset fan so everything in my comp will be quiet again.
- A plexi res for in my drive bay.

I have 2 choices of tubing.

- Dangerden tubing uv (13mm) for 1/2"
- Silicone tubing (11mm) for 3/8" and 1/2".

I only worked with silicone tubing and its great because it works so easy. Dangerden I have to try out.

I new to this water cooling and i am looking @ going with water. One Question for anybody here, have any of you seen or have the Thermaltake Armor case setup with internal rads in stead of external rads on the back ? this is the case i have and i was just wondering how hard it would be to make a good internal rad seup. I was looking at the Switftech Apex system or should i build a custom setup, I know the Appex has dual external rad and can i save any money by putting 1 together my self. Thanks..............:D

My case http://www.legitreviews.com/article/241/4/ is reviewed here but I still thinking what would be the best spot too set up my rad.

In front of the removable 5.25 bays where i easily can place my rad. It can suck in the cold air outside the case and let the warmer air out of the case at the backside of the case (120mm fan).
Small problem, I have a dvdrw + floppy + fancontroller + reservoir that needs to fit in the remaining bays. Hope this works or i have to choose the following setup.

Drill out the top of the case to fit my rad. Bit more work but saves some space.
But radiator is cooled with hotter air from the case too the outside.


But the same setups will perform about the same, nothing to make me worry about. I already have a good caseflow (2*120mm + 4*80mm and 2*120mm at rads)

I think i'll go with the rad at top. :)

Drives will sit on left, taking floppy bay and using it for now, then some dremel work and riveting to take one of the HD mounts I removed and put it up there. Think there will be enough airflow for the drives. No window since this is for HTPC and no one will see it after I'm done :shrug: And I am making this another cooling system that can be removed w/o disassembly, just unplug and detach Res and Block, then pull the whole thing out :D

the capacitors on the face of the cpu can be dammaged if the waterblock tips over. I have experienced this, where my TDX tiped over a little and shorted out on one of the caps, which restarted my machine. The CPU died quickly thereafter.

I was going to do that at first but it would require about a foot more of tubing. What I'll probably do is wait till I change my water and clean my blocks and replace my res with a t-line to make it easier. btw, there's only one pump ;)

Also that is a really really sharp bend you got there near the rad and pump. You might wanna fix that because your pump could be sucking in air. You'd probably hear a whining noise. It's in pain, man:slap: !

I've been trying to figure out how to fit a proper water cooling setup inside my Coolermaster ATC-200. Its a tiny bit shorter than the ATC-210 and there isn't much room for pumps and radiators. I considered mounting such gear outside the case but i'm still uncertain.

This case of mine right now is too loud..... need to enjoy the silence.

It took me forever to find another ATCS210 (I've owned my orignal one for a few years already), but I recently got another and am gonna chop it in half and stick a phase unit inside ;) The mod's been done before, but I loved it when I saw it and now am capable of the same....:woot:

Just finished up my daily user earlier today:
EDIT: In the pics, it looks as if there's some water on the pump's base...I guarantee there isn't....It's just some sort of wierd reflection from the plexi..lol

WOW. Looks awsome.

Could you list the components used? :)

Thanks :toast: The W/C loop is Res -> D5 -> DtekCustoms Heatercore -> Swiftech Storm -> Swiftech MCW-50 -> T-line -> Res.......All tubing is Tygon-3603 1/2ID, 3/4OD, oh...and a DD fill port...

I've grown tired of running my daily user outside of my case and on the table so I decided to build this. I've still got a few more plans for this unit and when I'm done, it'll be cooled by a custom single stage phase -> that's still a little more manageable than my -87C autocascade :p: It's been a couple of years since I've been away from water, but I must say that I'm extremely impressed with this Swiftech Storm cpu block. It sure blows the block I last had (whitewater) out of the water (hehehe). This block allows me to idle a good 6-8C lower than the best aircooling I've had on my FX55/56 (the one in sig). Here's a shot of my temps in bios @ 1.58Vcore. This room is definately not cold, no windows are open, and it's in fact a quite comfortable ambient temp....

@ Trance - Of course it's in the loop, why wouldn't it be? lol It's mounted where the hard drives usually would go, so of course I had to figure out where to put them inside my case ;) :

lets hope i can get some money together so finish the monster off, anywho, heres the pics :) enjoy:

any american places that sell it?

MaxxxRacer
01-29-2006, 07:49 AM
Nearly Every watercooling shop in the USA sells the Laing DDC. The version that Staucher has is not reccomended due to the arcylic and that it uses smaller ID compression fittings which restrict flow.

In australia there are a few tops that are good. They use 1/2" fittings and have the inlet on the top, reducing flow restriction. The DDC "Pro" also has the top mounting, but uses the micro fittings like the other 2 compression fittings shown in his pictures.

Pumps are 1046's. even though theres a lot of blocks the pumps cope quite well, flow is good to still enough to shoot out the res when filling.

Well, it looks like the cpu and GPU blocks are innovatek. The chipset block looks like it might be Alphacool Nexxxus NBX, but I could be wrong because it's hard to see. But since it looks like the alphacool MB Heattrap RegCooler on the voltage regulators... I have to say the chipset block has to be alphacool also. I've seen the ram waterblocks before, but I don't know who makes them.

Yup, but I'd rather not at an antifreeze to my loop when I'm not going below freezing. No point in it otherwise, it will only increase corosion occurance (not that I have unlike metals in my loops) and lower thermal efficiency.

You have to give a slow shutter speed at least 1 second so you have to use a tripod.

Most european produced WC is made for 8/6mm and 10/8mm, but alot of people (including me) is using 12mm or ½"..

Jupiler
02-13-2006, 08:01 AM
10/8mm is also used, more common in Germany.

Here's an update on mine.
I wasn't that pleased with the UV Dye Lite Clear Blue performance under UV lights. So I changed it to D-Tek's Visible Blue and I like it much better.
Had to change the tubing too, as my Masterkleer tubing was pretty dirty after only a couple of months of use.

The cathodes were placed like this, just to give an idea. 1 goes to the top, the other to the bottom of the case and 1 x10cm will come unter the 120mm fan at the back.

I'm personally gonna go with 1/2" ID UV reactive tubing for my next loop. I'd rather not put dyes in the loop as they'll just clog my Storm.

MaxxxRacer

EnJoY
02-13-2006, 12:53 PM
I've owned the Primoflex UV tubing (the same stuff I plan on getting next time), and I didn't notice any difference in elasticity between that and the Clearflex 1/2" ID I had had right before that. However, in terms of flexibility, my Tygon 7/16" ID has been the best...but I have a feeling that has more to do with it being 7/16" ID 5/8" OD rather than it being Tygon.

The ATCS series of cases IMO were some of the best cases ever made. Their aluminum is NOTHING like the cheap stuff they use on Lian-Li's and they're built absolutely rock solid. I originally paid $250+ for my ATCS (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1239164&postcount=936) and it was worth every penny. I just recently got ahold of another one - which I'm gonna chop in half to house a phase change unit for my rig. @ the $119 price for the case shown above, it's well worth it......

02-13-2006, 10:03 PM
yea, the ATC-210 is gorgeous, but the only thing i hate about it is the airflow. you have a single 80mm in the back as an exhaust, and a single 80mm uptop as an intake, i kid you not. since the ATC-210 has a clean faceplate and uses the chassis of the ATC-110, it was the only solution they had.

to get better cooling, i drilled x2 80mm intakes in the back, and a 120mm exhaust ontop (for the rad).

haha, i dont like Lian Li much either. the new top dog is Silverstone, no doubt about it. mostly the TJ-03 (which i just got!) and the TJ-07.

The stuff DD sells? It's a bit less flexible than tygon. Still works great though. Although I'd rather have tygon since it grips barbs better. I used UV and tygon without clamps on my MCW6002... tygon was water tight all the time and UV leaked right away.

I agree, that was my attraction to the case. It just looks so clean, and appears to be very well built. If you look back at Liquid_Cooled's one that started this conversation, its clear to see how clean it really does appear. I dont mind the glass either, I think its an interesting touch.

This is my water cooled computer, I redid my original kit - a Kingwin Arctic Liquid Cooler with a car heatercore and longer tubing so I can put the radiator out my window in winter, sort of a winter water chilling. I can lower my cpu temperatures 21'F (12'C) before condensation starts forming on my water blocks. The specs for my system are listed in my signature. I can run my Athlon XP 2500+ to the speed of a 2800+ on the stock vcore but never really tried serious overclocking. My 6600 GT can overclock from stock 500/900 to 590/1093 almost 100mhz core and 300mhz on memory :banana: And excuse the crappy pictures, my digital camera sucks and doesn't have a focus.

The tower - The top unit is a Pioneer TX-960 digital radio tuner and the bottom is a Acoustic AI frequency equalizer and spectrum display, both units are connected through my audio card, my subwoofer is under the desk. The stuff on top is a 10gb portable laptop hard drive i made for less than $20 including hard drive from garage sale, a starting capacitor from an air conditioner, some cds and some blank cd's as well as some electronic christmas trees that blink when you hook them to a 9v battery:

My EL keyboard with modded num/caps/scroll lock leds - they were originally green:

An inside shot, it's hard to see but the PSU lights up (threw some blue leds in):

@ Sveinbra
I like. I want to mount my dual120mm rad in the top of my stacker like you have your triple but I'm not sure how I'd go about doing it.
