I'm new here but just wanted to show my 2 watercooled PC's.
The first one is my old PC, i had that one for a long time but it just could not handle all the new games so i sold it and build a new one.
http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/7378/pc013yr5.th.jpg (http://img137.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pc013yr5.jpg)

Specs of that PC were.
XP-M 2600+@3700+ (200x12.5=2500MHz@1.85 volt)
6800LE@16x1,6vp@375/850 (good for 11k 3dmark03)
The rest does not really matter.

I have got my new PC for about 3 months now and i like it alot. It's a modded Lian-Li PC71. I build this PC for playing all the new games but i wanted it to be very silent.

I used 2 Lian-Li covers to build in the fancontroller and to stealth the dvd so it would look better.

I modded the 3x120mm radiator in the case.

Nice one there nicks, i like that circle air vent mesh design, did you do that yourself? with what tools?

(i always keep a spare keyboard and mouse handy...)

Performance PC's cut the hole, and I bought the FilterRight filter from them too. It was meant to hold a fan, which it did before until I moved my radiator inside of the case. Then I had to dremel down the bolts to size and I just mounted the grille there.

No, the P180 is not big at all(internally). Its very cramped inside, especially with all the kit I have hooked up. The motherboard is a P5WDH - atx. It took me a good 2 hours to attempt to hide the wiring.
what tool did you use to cut the side panel? I'm asking cause I'll be modding mine and I need straight lines :)

Looks like nobodys has yet complimented you on this Rig...PilatuS... Nice Job! I like the Dual Monitor ;) You watercooling Gear could be better but overall it's a Pretty Good Gaming Rig!

Oh and I like how you clean cutted the holes for the Rad! Looks Professional not like mine...lol

10-08-2006, 07:10 AM

Tnx for the compliments. It took me about 20 hours just to cut the holes, mount the radiator, the reservoir and the pump. I cut all the holes by hand to get the best result. I really needed it to be good because of the price of the case.

I know that there are better watercooling block and rads but i chose Alphacool because i really like how it looks.

I know it's alot better for the temps to do that. However my system is stable and the temps are ok. It would be better but i do not look forward to getting out all of the watercooling stuff and the motherbord just for better temps.

As long as my system is stable i dont really care about it. Since i found the stable voltage for the Core 2 Duo OC i have never had a reboot or any other problems with the PC.

PilatuS

10-09-2006, 11:13 AM

I cut all the holes in a really relax way. Just cutted like 5cm and took a brake. It went really slow with that tool but it cuts very accurate. I could not afford to buy another Lian-Li.

but i chance the holt down bracket :)

10-13-2006, 05:55 AM

Well, At first i was thinking of doing this when i got my PA120.3 Radiator. Mount it in the front and put the Hardd rives in the bottom. Havent found any ways to carefuly get the Harddrives to just sit in the bottom of the case. So i decided to make a hole in the bottom and mount\mod the rad in the bottom. Here what is gives:

http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/2144/img2389we6.th.jpg (http://img456.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img2389we6.jpg) http://img475.imageshack.us/img475/8605/img2463yu1.th.jpg (http://img475.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img2463yu1.jpg)

Ill may try to make something similar to you and make the Hd's hold on the bttom and ill Probably again re-do my watercooling kit soon. Ill get a Strom waterblock another MCW60 (whit of course the X1900CrossFire edition card) maybe a second pump and ill mount the Rad just as you did in the front. Anyways Thanks for the Pics!

EDIT: Oh and By-the-way: Use some Coolsleves on that Horrible bending on that Outlet of your pump!

LOL! Just saying that you should use some coolsleeves on your tubing Right Here: http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/1856/simg2899mq0.th.jpg (http://img376.imageshack.us/my.php?image=simg2899mq0.jpg) So that your Tube does not bend like that.

Coolsleeves™ are extruded PVC coils designed to be wrapped around 5/8" Outer Diameter soft vinyl tubes, and eliminate tube kinking and flattening in medium to sharp bend areas.

I use some on my Tube so that it does not do what it does on your Tube where it connect to your Pump...

thunderstruck!

Radical_53

10-14-2006, 02:51 AM

That's what he meant, kinked tubing means that the tubing is not in its original form and doesn't have a proper ID anymore.
Coolsleeves are wraps that prevent kinking, they stabilize the tubing -> if it's just a too sharp bend, you can also use zip ties for that.
Like here:

http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/3273/fanhdbracketea7.jpg

regarding that kink in the inlet, i also had that because i had 2inch over tubing, cut it to size and rebarb tubing, add them coolsleeves or cable ties and your good to go.

Wow that tubing looks so small man :eek: . At least you don't have trouble with routing though. I can't remember who, but someone on the forum cooled his NB, 2 graphics cards, his CPU, both his RAM modules, and both his HDDs, had a triple rad and 2 pumps all in one Lian-Li PC-7077 (if I remember correctly), of course he used 1/4" tubing. Colour looks nice though.

I was planning on buying the 3D Gigabyte Galaxy kit a while ago. But I made the decision to chose individual parts, which usually gives the best performance. But I think that the 3D Galaxy LCS seems like a descent product at least if you are buying a WC kit. At least it looks really foxxy :)

but end up buying the Gigabyte WC Kit, (luckly ! :rolleyes: )

10-24-2006, 10:30 AM

Brandon_Tyler: I think you can ahieve that color with just pentosin if you use a rather high concentration of it. Otherwise you'd just have to add som color additives, even though it's not really recommened in the long run. But I think that the color of the Pentosin looks great. Here's a link (http://www.petrastechshop.com/peg11coadb.html)to some Pentosin, but i think you've already seen it :)

fameless what do you intend to fill up all that space above PSU
Nothing really. My Swiftech Qp triple is mounted up top. There might be room to mount a Thermochill PA120.3, but I'm not going to bother doing any further upgrades to this build. It is a socket 478 system after all. But I have some bad ideas involving a PA120.3 and an Enlight CK8950 for a summer project.
I'll get more pics up later tonight or tomorrow. I moved the pump and changed the tubing a bit.

Can anyone direct me to where I can buy cheap USB 2.0 and Firewire extension cables for the internal headers? The cables right now just barely reach the ports on my motherboard, and I would really like to hide them. I could move the front panel further down below my drives, but I like having it at the top and would rather keep it that way. This is the Blue Special Edition Stacker, by the way. Thanks!

10-26-2006, 09:41 PM

hmm Mankz i would suggest using some high flow fittings instead of those Perfect Seal fittings you have attached to your pump...

well i suppose if you're using 1/2 id tubing you won't really have a problem fitting your tubing on it, but the added lip of the said barb would cause some turbulence thereby reducing some flow. this is why i suggested using High Flow fittings. there are numerous threads in this section explaining the reasoning why perfect seal fittings are not recommended.

Mankz_91

10-27-2006, 02:06 AM

care to explain...????

Xavior

10-27-2006, 02:25 AM

They cause some turbulence, which means you'll have some more flow loss.

Very small and probably unnoticeable though, not worth the trouble if you haven't got High-Flow barbs around. You're using 1/2''ID tubing anyway.

Mankz_91

How about using the top inlet instead of the front? It will give you higher flow. (Why go for 3rd party top if not because you want to use top inlet?
Edit: It would even shorten your tubing.

10-27-2006, 12:14 PM

And also, isn't the pump pumping water INTO the res? Or am I misreading the picture? Seems like the tubing coming from the drive bays goes into the inlet, and then from pump to reservoir. That isn't optimal, and I just learned why (new thread in this section :P)

Mankz_91

10-27-2006, 12:23 PM

res - pump (top inlet, side outlet) - res - CPU - GPU - res..

Yeah I made the window (3 times in all until I got it right lol). It was a damn sight easier than cutting the holes for the triple rad though.

Its not the GX2 thats crooked its the XFI card. The inlet tube on the DDC is pushing it up slightly at the front end but in the photos it does look like the gx2 is wonky. As stated I'm going 1/2 when the spacer kit arrives so alot of stuff will have to be moved around so that will be sorted. I'll lose the SB waterblock (not needed except for bling purposes:D ) and I'm gonna try my hardest to mount the res somewhere internally...running out of space rapidly now tho:(

Nice pictures people. Getting some nice ideas for my case :)

Just a quick question though..do any you have performance numbers of not having a water res vs having one? Im starting to lean towards not having one..I was just going to do CPU first..and add the GPU later when new g80 cards come out. :)

Unless I'm confused a res is just to put more surface water to dissipate heat faster right?

Well so far people have resevoirs to bleed air bubbles out of their system. Running a t-line can take you an hour or even longer to bleed out the entire system, while running a res it might take you seconds.

Temps should be the same running a system with a res vs. a system without one.

^That is why I like Germany- Excellent craftsmanship, attention to detail, etc.

We need more of that in American products. I'm not knocking our brand, just that it would be nice to have better attention to detail.
Germans are perfectionists indeed. Only if they weren't so obsessed with restriction and small tubing... :p:

I have a question, I've notice a some of these cases have just as many fans as a case that does not watercool. I thought the general idea is to cut noise down and get better performance. Kinda defeats the purpose of putting a case full of fans and watercooling doesn't it?

Unless they doing just for the "bling" factor im missing something..
You still need some airflow because of RAM, northbridge/southbridge (unless those are watercooled), and other motherboard components. But because this doesn't need as high airflow as when full-blown aircooling you can get away with slower and quieter fans :)

hopper

11-10-2006, 07:37 PM

markopoleo ...

my new wc rig is quieter, also i need alot less fans to keep my mb cool now that i dont have a hot cpu heatsink right next to the mb heatsink. also you dont need high cfm fans, the yate loon 120mm fans im running are so quiet you cant hear the 2 of those over my gpu fan. through the rad the air entering my case is still cool (useable) and i have a rear and front 80mm's to cool the insides. when i upgrade to quieter 80mm it will probly be nice and quiet.

so ya my setup is just as loud right now as some standard setups but the inside temp is probly alot cooler

also my pump is silent,, get the yl fans and the quiet pump when you build yours and you will be happy

hmm Camb on the first rig you had your rad supplying your pump, i think most would say its supposed to be the T-Line before pump inlet, easier to fill and prime...

other than that, its a very nice and clean install, nice use of 3mm plate there.
and the yeong yang simple also, only usual suspect of cube cases are the back side of mobo where the wires are located...

the bottom barb of the res makes a 180 degree turn to the inlet of the pump... this pump has the outtake on top ;)

badhabit

11-18-2006, 01:56 AM

Yeah, look where the tubing from the bottom barb of the Micro res goes...it seems to disappear but the only place it could possibly end is the pump. And if you look closely, it does. The D5 can be turned on its side and mounted that way pretty easily, so I'd assume the upward barb is the outlet.
