more pics less chatter :)

what liquid r u using ?
Its a "toyota" coolant but I suspect that its a Zerex derivitive

*rapty* where did you pick up the RAM duct?

Came with the Lian Li Case you can also buy them sperately, planning better plumbing with elbows with my Conroe system later this month.

ffs, more pics less chatter people! :)

[postman]

hmmmm... didn't heard, but beauty. the most of that blocks that i've seen (i mean the heads of wbs) were made from plexiglas (and i did the same :)).

Delrin is also known as Acetal, is a plastic Polymer.
I consider thar plexiglass crash very commonly, but delrin never crash because is more flexible that plexy.

tiborrr, beauty coloured system. is a cpu w/b selfmade? if not then what is it?

@L'enFer: The waterblock is Eddy's simpliest EK-S model (here's an URL: http://ekwaterblocks.com/ - Slovenia's best WC stuff manufacturer). I had Morphling's MK4 waterblock (whitewater design) before this one but had to switch to a less restrictive spiral-type block.

[dnottis]

haha his cabling is so good - he made his video card disappear!! Now thats some wiring magic there ;)

[[XC]Atomicpineapple]

Just reworked my loop, added a second D5 and Eddy EK chipset and VGA block. The Repack reservoir is also new, and it sucks, seems to be too small for even 1 D5 as air bubbles kept being sucked straight through it back into the loop even when filled to well above the level of the exit barb. As a result I changed that to act as a reservoir to a T-line.

[CRXican]

Couldn't stand the stock sidepanel so I ordered up the windowed panel. Had issues with tubes rubbing against the window and getting tweaked hence the black velcro strap things. The CPU out to GPU in tube is still touching the window, too long. It doesn't look like any of the fittings are stressed but because I like to worry, I am stressed. Good thing new tubing is cheap. Anyway, on to the pics:

Cant say about card temps as 1s a 16 pipe X1900 Crossfire Master and the others a 12 pipe X1900GT so the heat output will be different, perhaps when I'm bored ill swap the blocks around and see if theres any difference.

I felt like posting it here, because Koyo will be ready soon and thus this little setup will be gone :p. I miss clean/neat watercooling :D, but that is price one must play for Xtreme H20 Cooling :)

[ghent915]

Holy bejeebers Zen! A full on racing rad for watercooling. That is spiffy, yo.

Also, your old setup looks to be quite the clean one. I'm not a HUGE fan of T's myself (prefer res'es for ease of filling, ect), but it looks quite nice. Also, are those TMD fans you are using?

Krueml:
Just curious, are you running any sort of fluid-additives in that loop? Mixing metals (aluminum in the rad, copper in the blocks) is asking for galvanic corrosion. I can't tell due to the coloration in your pictures.

Also, what CM case are you running?

Naw, not at all. Those were taken right when i finished my loop on Friday night. Afterwards, i did get a hose clamp on there. Last night, i did try it with both on and off, and it didn't make one bit of difference. See, you guys forget, Masterkleer is probably better at bending than anything we've used previously. It can take a pretty large bend before it really really kinks up. But, it's fine...and it doesn't hurt the performance one bit.

Not to nitpick, but true that it might take a large turn before kinking. However, yours is definitely kinking :D

it is not good

[mcflurry4321]

There is no way that kink isn't affecting your performance. Even if the tubing isn't technically kinking, you still have a sharp turn.

[ShoNuff]

Mine is still a work in progress, I need to do a LOT more wire management. :nono: :slapass:

I like the UV Blue panels...nice touch. I can relate to what you are saying with respect to wire management. While everything else is pretty easy to install keeping it neat is another issue. lol

Looks like you have a kink as well on the snake like tube that goes form the middle to the top.

[JME F1delity]

Looks like you have a kink as well on the snake like tube that goes form the middle to the top.

nah thats just the angle and how tygon tubing bends

[ghent915]

The thing is, that is still impeding his flow something ugly. You might want to try putting a few zip-ties onto that run, or, barring that, pick up some coolsleeves and use them.

Or, it might be time for some open loop surgery.

Just my $0.02.

I read that.....

That's why I posted back...because I still thought that that HAD to restrict flow. No matter what you say. Unless you have a flow meter hooked up to it and can prove that that doesn't hurt your flow.

[ghent915]

I agree...while a kink may not directly affect your performance now, it will have a detrimental impact on the flow. Now, if you are using a pump that can power over such an impingement, Great! However, in the interest of making the least amount of work for the system in question, kinks, bends, ect should be minimized, at least from MY experience.

go outside and bend your waterhose vs not bending it and see which one has more flow.....this is not rocket science if there is a kink it IS slowing down flow period! not trying to bash you or call you an idiot but this is very basic stuff..:woot: :toast:

See, Grinch...please read my post earlier. I HAVE ALREADY PUT A :banana::banana::banana::banana:ING HOST CLAMP ON IT! I HAD ONE ON THERE AFTER THE PICTURES! So, guys, before you post, learn to :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing read.

And yes, it is slowing down flow, but not so much that it's absolutely killing my performance. Same thing happened with my other one, with HE120.2 with shroud, where the barbs were coming right up against my DVD burners.

[phelan1777]

well pray to the H20 gods that this weekend I can get my loop together, filled and leak testing, if so I will post pics in my stacker thread, then when i get the beast back together I will post a shot of it here.

I finally have all the components. YEAH!:woot: :toast:

[Viktor]

I have a Stacker with the rad mouned in the top, works very well and there's alot of room left in the case. Need some work on the cables though. Can post pics later maybe. :)

[CRXican]

I have made plans of mounting the radiator in the top of the Stacker very soon. Although, I must say, having it hanging on the back like it is now, is very good.

I don't see the point of keeping it in the case when I can have it on the back of it - thus not taking up space that could be used for something else...

-k0nsl
something else? like what?

you let your cat sleep in there or something?

[Maxym]

Some people aren't quiet so dB concerneed that's why the rad is out back on that Stacker.

Oh and i'd like to see you fit 2xPSU's, 4xIDE's, 4xSATA's, full pci slots, along with multicard readers, floppys, and 3 bays full of monitoring stuff (gatewatch, and my home made lcd panel with a switch).


I.E. The entire front bay is packed from top to bottom. And the tiny spare space you get between the smaller devices like floppies is crammed with cabling to try hide it.

Please look more closely at the picture before saying things like that, alot of reason's for many things. :)

[Maxym]

Plus i like to think i have very minimized tubing / minimized kink's with the current orrientation of things.

wanna ask u guys..
is ZEREX UV reactive?? or can it add any addictive to make it UV reactive in Pinkish color?

[qdemn7]

My system below.

[trance565]

bootleg but its worth it for the extra drop :)
yep, and imabout to ditch the cardboard and ducttape, ima get some thing ply wood (1/8th inch) and jb weld em together, so as to be able to transport it with out havin it fall off :D of course i will use the cardboard cut out to put over the fans, as its nearly perfect because of my 1337 box cutter exacto knife skillz

[septim]

use 1/4 thick, 1/8 is like flimsy...

[Got Chow]

That ghetto fab..... er.... ingeniusly improvised solution is awesome. :D:D

[trance565]

lol, septim : 1/4 inch is less flimsy, but if you use the right stuff, the 1/8th inch aint flimsy

lol ehtto fab is exactly what it is, took me a whole 5 mins

[trance565]

Sorry. Outta topic...
wanna ask u guys..
is ZEREX UV reactive?? or can it add any addictive to make it UV reactive in Pinkish color?

im not sure about the UV thing, but i put some dye in afterwards to give it a more greenish look, now its kina like a good green color, i used almsot an entire bottle of taht thermal take stuff

im also using too much zerex as most ppl recomend, lol im using nearly a 70/30 mix of DIwater and zerex instead of 10% or less
but it IS uv reactive now for sure lol

[creidiki]

Watch out for clogging...

[PenumbralFigure]

Is there much difference in heat output versus air cooling? Currently, i have one 80mm intake fan, 120mm CPU fan (ThermalTake Blue Orb 2), and 120mm exhaust fan. The room this computer is in is 10'x12', and it heats up the room to the point that i am on the verge of sweating. Does watercooling decrease in heat output? My reasoning behind the thought that it would is that with watercooling, you have only 1 120mm (depending. i've always been looking at dual 120mm rads for my WC ideas).

BTW, I figured this would be the best place to ask before making a thread.

[creidiki]

Heat outputted by the components doesent change, its just more efficient at dissipating it.

Well, you have to add 1-2 fans's worth of heat (9-15w typically) for the pump.

http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/8100/2ch3.jpg

[NortHWizarD]

Well... this was my last 2 liquid cooled systems.

The first one is a Socket 754 A64-3700 with an ATI X850XT-PE

Has a Danger Den TDX block and for the vid card, a Silverprop Fusion HL, with a Black Ice Pro 120.2 on the back of a Nikao Dragonfire case... I am not a big fan of pre-mods, but I kinda like this one and it was given to me free as a review case. The system has been flawless and no matter how hot it got here (around 110* F with about 85-90% humidity), it never went over 42*C

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c78/northwizard/f878772b.jpg

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c78/northwizard/3700-updates-2013.jpg

And then there is this one... please ignore the mess... I didn;t build this one for show, it was all for the performance, and also I had no plans on keeping it very long.

It is an Opteron 144 on an ABIT AV8 3rd Eye (with Uguru clock) motherboard, a gig of OCZ and a Hercules Prophet 9800 PRO vid card.

The cooling is an Arctic Web, 437watt/24volt Peltier block powered by a meanwell S600-24, and to cool the fluid it has a Bonneville heater core with 2 x Aerocool 140mm Streamliner fans, and also a Black Ice Pro 120.2 with a pair of Yate-Loon fans on it - the Opty ran, with an overclock of 334FSB @ 1.6 core volts, giving me about 3ghz

it's kind of a mess, but the thing ran, under full load, around -10*, -20* at idle. Here it is...

[mugs]

This seems as good a place as any to make my first post. Here's my watercooled setup, it's an Asetek kit that I got for £29 and added an Antarctica LGA775 waterblock. My system isn't very extreme so this is more than enough for my needs - it's more geared towards being quiet, hence the large lump of iron sitting on foam underneath the pump to decouple it from the case. Fans are Yate Loons @ 7V and the hard discs are suspended in the 5.25" bays, so the whole thing is very quiet. The main drawback is the size of my case (Antec SLK3700AMB) which forces me to have the radiator at the front. It's all a bit messy at the moment, I'll do some cable tidying when I get some quieter fans delivered (next week hopefully) and I still need to get hold of a neater Y-adaptor for the waterblock (the kit didn't come with anything so I had to go to B&Q and grab whatever would work!)

[phelan1777]

Welcome to XS, strap in and hold on:D (I KID I KID)

hey, you may not be as insane as the most XS'r but you still did at least a little modding to your case, and its doing what you want right? Meaning it is quieter then it was. That counts for something.

what do you mean, wrong cpu block? id say right one considering your pump....

[blossa]

I have changed gpu and added waterblock for chipset after this picture was taken. It is three triple 120-rads in there. Also, I have added a fan in the back of the case that sucks out the air of the case, meaning air coming in through rads.

Ohhhh... dual opty... Cool. :) How is that setup in keeping your components cool?
42-43 degress on CPUs and around 45 on the X1900XTX gpu. But when benchmarking I have to add some more fans. I have two fans below the rad in bottom that is running when benching. They also work as a vacuum cleaner. :D

hi guys , do you think green UV liquid mixes with Blue UV lighting? is the result nice?

i am thinking about green water and blue fans+cold cathode

umm lol , id test it before putting it my loop
it might come out looking like gunky " havent cleaned my loop in years" swamp thing green

[Ic3man]

No such thing as blue UV m8, they are blacklight, and they only come in one 'colour'.

Green 'UV' reactive stuff works well with blue aslong as it aint overdone imo.

[ea6gka]

i have seen blue cathode lights that illuminate UV reactive stuff like cables etc so i think there must be blacklight and blue UV reactive cold cathodes , forgive my ignorance :D if i am mistaken

currently i have 2 blacklights with green liquid

heres a pic, plexy is to be installed soon

2fink, did you cut out your back plate where rad-plate-fan, seems like you didnt...

no, i didnt. i only cuttet some parts out for the 230V pump-cable. theres a blowhole, where i normally had a 120er fan blowing out. now the fan is on the outside of the case sucking air from the inside.

greetings

[Xeon th MG Pony]

thats becuase all VFD produce UV it is the phosfor that creates the light that you see, blue just allowes more of the UV to escape. black lights with proper filter will be purpolish, but a phosor in a blue dye will flourec blue.

@ Cl4w:

What type Nb is that? looks ok, I need to find one for my PC-DL (I875 chipset).

[eXa]

it looks alot more restrictive than it need to be.
mcw30 would be your best choise, it has a flat bottom only.

[creidiki]

Looks like a standard Unnecessary-Restriction-Issue Alphacool NB.

sorry for the photo quality.. only hv a camera phone..

[creidiki]

jesus, how much additive did you put in that loop?

[Vandread]

You sure that aint some strawberry sirup? :D

[daze]

probably 7% of ZEREX only..
it only look so bright & vibrant on the last pic.
maybe cause of flash.

[Batman!]

I would get some ramsinks on your card dude.

[creidiki]

7%... I use 1 tablespoon...

[daze]

1 tablespoon of ZEREX with a bottle of battery water??
hmm...isnt tat too little??
label written mix coolant 5% with 95% distill water..

Ramsink.. later on.. SWiftech RAMSINK is overkill.. on d pricey side..
still looking around.. still need to soruce some other stuff as well.
some air filter element for d 3x5'25" bay... some screw for the top grill.
some sound damping for d pump and etc... and Bling Bling maybe..

[creidiki]

Its a full copper loop just like yours, there's no corrosion to prevent, its just there to stop bacterial/algae growth. And its more than a bottle, like 1.1L of DeIonized.

I dont even bother with it in the winter, just use pure DI, but my pc gets a fair bit of sunlight in the summer, so I put a tablespoon in just to be on the safe side.

NOPE! thats the second kit up on their product breakdowns. then there is the one with the chipset thingy too!

oh well i'll jsut link it:
http://swiftnets.com/products/H20-220-APEX.asp
apex kit, the standard cpu only. to which you can add to whatever you want

http://swiftnets.com/products/H20-220-APEX-plus.asp
plus kit, for chipset and single gpu cooling with ramsinkss. not sure how much savings you get on this but it is pretty much their one-stop-purchase for users startin out who want a good system.

[creidiki]

Yah.. so its not entirely an swiftech kit, cause the maze 4 wasnt in the kit. Am I right or what? ^_^

Now give me cake :D

Oh and all these custom wood/MDF cases make me wish I had the space for a second pc, lol.

It has no T-line or Reservoir...

[JoeBar]

Need some cable management.

[Nefilav]

Its an Antec P180B, there is a good reason it does not come with a side panel. Believe it or not, thats after some cable management. The worst was when the chipset was covered by stock IDE cables had 44 degrees...its now at 29, 26 ambient with the rounded ones.

[IanY]

I put this computer about a month ago. Its basically a FX62 with 7900GTX SLI. The water cooling is essentially a basic Swiftech Apex kit with Apogee AM2 (Storm not available yet), D5 and two MCW60 video blocks. There is a standard MCR220 and I added a Thermochill PA120.1. The case is a Lian Li PC-G70B. Yeah. The cable management is a nightmare. I basically stuffed so much crap into that poor case that there's no room for anything... especially airflow :)

You can see that, appearance wise, its extremely plain. No lights, no neon, no LEDs (ok, only two.. the power LED and hdd LED). Everything is black and polished aluminum. From the outside, its hard to tell that there's anything unusual inside.

Sorry the radiators *must* be inside. Have toddler with tiny fingers that fit through wire grills. Any stuff outside and the whole machine gets vetoed real fast. So, for those of you who complain about heat, there's nothing I can do. What wife don't see don't hurt nobody. The cpu loads up at under 40C and the videos load up below 44C, so the high case temps ultimately don't affect the machine much.

The dome light on top is a battery powered touch light that is very useful when working on machine, especially at night. You can't see it over the flash, but its extremely bright, enough to blind someone in the dark.

There's some excess slack in the tubing, but I like it that way. I can remove individual components out of the case easily and work on them. In fact, I had both video cards comfortably out to fix the video ram heatsinks.

Many thanks for reading. Input greatly welcomed.

[n00b 0f l337]

What PSU?

[sdkevin]

am I seeing 10 HDDs in your case? :) lots of U-turn tubing in your case, why not get PA120.3 mounted on top of case and move the PSU to bottom so also you can get rid of PA120.1 in exhaust too so you have more clearance in your case

Edit: This is my case

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b161/sdkevin/Case-1.jpg

[IanY]

Sorry, I will reply first to your advice :) I bought the necessary hole saw and the mandrels. Unfortunately, I have not had enough time lately to work on the case. Also, I am a real klutz at such projects and may end up with a busted case :slapass: :)

I really did consider a triple Thermochill up top, but I guess its easier to just order the same case pre-modded. Another problem is the issue of a toddler baby with fast fingers. Like I said, 2 year old boy moves like lightning and his fingers fit into pretty much every fan grill. I tested the fingers in a grill and envision his finger in the middle of a 220 cfm Delta fan :slapass:

Also, there is always that dreaded wife acceptance factor :D

Thanks for all the help with getting the images up!!

maybe sometype of fan grill, brick design, or unconventional alum filter on the exhaust if you put the PA120.3 up top...

its winter here.have tried chilled water and got the idle temp down to 15c but started to have condensation probs.plus the ice only lasted approx 2 hrs.
waiting on a friend who is building me a refridgeration unit to cool the cpu and gpu's.he is aiming for -25 - -30c at the blocks.so i will have to build a bigger case.will be all aluminium.still be using Silverprop blocks.
will be an awesome project
