one of my fan controllers

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/SNC11131.jpg
my memory

well here is where i got creative I wanted to save as much bay space as i could and I didnt want to place my three hard drives in 3 slots so i drew up some plans and i came up with something that would only take up 2 slots and holds 3 HDDs :D nothing is sold that is able to do this most of them are 3 bays and hold 4 HDDs... so here is the prototype:

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/SNC11143.jpg

i sent that to my friend and he made a few changes to it and finished both sides:

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/SNC11142.jpg

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/SNC11140.jpg
and yes he added the fan good touch keeps the HDDs cooler since they are so compact

here is how it works:

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/SNC11144.jpg
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/SNC11145.jpg
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/SNC11147.jpg

it is placed in the bay with 2 Sycthe Antivibration 3.5" to 5.25" converters

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/SNC11148.jpg
and the fan moves

so since it was ready i send it for powder coating and... it is back in 2 hours :D

and just a good look at it :D

[jtf2]

looks good.mem sticks sitting on the carpet-not good!!

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

why are you using an nvidia board with an ATI vga? nvidia chipsets limit ati cards to 8x PCI-e, not to mention the fact that nvidia chipsets are absolute shyte

[0xdeadbeef]

This is great! :clap:

[omaryunus]

just for the pic other than that in static bags right now :D

well the 4870 is only temporary gonna be switching to 2 GTX 280s once i get the money together :D and well i like Nvidia chipsets its a personal thing :p and right now just a trial the 680i is a cheap board i got for like $40 and i can learn all the condensation prevention and stuff like that

I see.... well since I vowed never to fight the ati vs nvidia battle again a little while ago, so if its your preference then more power to ya :up:

[2low4u]

Looking good so far! Can't wait to see all these parts come together. I want to go TEC to(same setup you have there) but everyone keeps saying it isn't worth it 7 well in my climate it really isn't but damn it's cool. Maybe change up later on we'll see but for now I'll test out strictly H2O on my setup.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

directly applying TECs to cpu's is grossly inneficient and unreliable. the best way to apply TEC cooling is in a chiller setup with many undervolted TECs

[omaryunus]

ok well this day has been pretty long and hard (thats what she said :p...|) well did quite alot of little things:

cutting the side of the 5.25" bays

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%202/SNC11328.jpg
bend it up and around

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%202/SNC11329.jpg
put some rivets on the other side and flattened the sides out and its a bit of a tight fit for the DVD drive in the bottom bay but it works out fine...

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%202/SNC11332.jpg
the PA160 fits fine and those cuts will be sanded down and still gonna put C channel around it

yea thats not good because I was saving space I wanted to put 3 HDDs in 2 bays not 4 HDDS in 3 bays... which is what you linked... but im already done with the one I made its already in place and works fine :D

[ward0]

nice start for your worklog, keep up the good work!

sweeeeet.... nice selection of gear there dude...

what size TEC is that?

ive always been tempted by the idea of tec cooling, but my research has led me to think there isnt much out there hat can handle a quad

thanks b@llz0r :D

its a 226W pelt for now... which came stock with the MCW6500... I will be replacing this with a Stinger V8 oversized which will have a 437W TEC in it :D but thats a bit down the way and for Quads you gotta get alot of TEC power in there so you need alot of cooling for that its pretty hard

[masxerofkartis]

yea thats not good because I was saving space I wanted to put 3 HDDs in 2 bays not 4 HDDS in 3 bays... which is what you linked... but im already done with the one I made its already in place and works fine :D



This Lian-Li adapter will convert two external 5.25" drive bays into three internal 3.5" drive bays. All three drive bays are cooled by a centered 80mm fan. Comes with a washable air filter.

Warning: Fits most cases, but mounting holes might not line up with newer cases.


;)

It is a good build though well done.

Weird thing is it's quite unusual to see someone have an nv board with an ati card

[omaryunus]

oh wow my bad yea it seems that would have worked but i just saved $30 :D my friend gave me the metal and stuff for free so wasnt really a problem for me

[PrometheusCon]

Man that green sleeving looks wicked! I haven't really seen that type before. Where'd you get that stuff?

[YMAA]

My first build was an M2N-SLI Deluxe with an X1900XT in it.

Looking great so far, subscribed!

yea i love it too :D and I got it from performance-pcs.com and if you buy like a fan or something from them they will pre sleeve stuff with it if you would like makes life a bit easier but I did all my sleeving my self

I remember those days :p now its all Nvidia with nvidia or intel with ATI blah blah thanks for all the great comments guys :D

[Waymon3X6]

Nice log, and sorry if this has been asked already but why would you mix a nvidia board with a 4870? I don't see the point...

[omaryunus]

Nice log, and sorry if this has been asked already but why would you mix a nvidia board with a 4870? I don't see the point...

well both the 680i and the 4870 are temporary it only cost me $200 to buy both so it wasnt a big dip in the savings I already have my 790i and almost a GTX280 this is a trial run while I save up the whole condensation proofing and etc is better to be tested on a 680i rather than a 790i :D

[Waymon3X6]

Ahh ok I see now! Thats a pretty good "temporary" setup then...

[Cralle!]

This looks nice!

Gonna keep and eye on this build:)

[omaryunus]

well here is another update and well hope you guys enjoy :D

Day 4 - mini update

heres another update on to the little amount of modding i did today :p (i hate work :p... but it pays the bills)

and on to the pics: mostly showing my lighting arsenal :cool::shoot:

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%204/SNC11389.jpg
here are some pre made strips makes life a bit easier

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%204/SNC11395.jpg
and now remove the tape and your good to go... :D

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%204/SNC11396.jpg
the LED inside is red but I switched them out for Green LEDs... getting Ultra bright LEDs from China in a week or so its soo cheap paid $6 for 50 5mm ultra bright Green LEDs, $15 for 100 chrome 5mm LED holders, $22 for ultra bright UV LED but most of them are for my MM build once i can afford the case :p:

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%204/SNC11397.jpg
Here are the LEDs i got right now (the red LEDs have been switched to Green LEDs)

well thats all for today... right now im waiting for a bunch of bitspower fittings and C channel so I can do a test of both loops before I finalize the case and send it for powder coating. ATM im working on a 5.25" bay mount for my Meanwell 320W and setting up all my bay device so I dont have anything in the way of anything else damn the Cosmos S has gotten MUCH smaller than i thought :p: but its coming out pretty nicely like all the devices are coming around pretty well :D

[elite.ire]

awesome build, great idea with the leds :D

[omaryunus]

:D Day 5 update :D

well I began the day with installing the plug for my auxiliary PSU here goes :

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%205/SNC11399.jpg

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%205/SNC11400.jpg
made a nice little hole for it

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%205/SNC11401.jpg
and it fits perfectly :D

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%205/SNC11402.jpg
another angle so you can see that it wont be a problem for reaching the outlets

well now i continued my day by making 5.25" bay holder for the PSU... since I did not buy the PSU from swiftech i didnt get all the nice holders and wires that come with it so most of it I had to make it wasnt too hard heres some pics...

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%205/SNC11404.jpg

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%205/SNC11403.jpg
made them look somewhat like the Scythe HDD stabilizers and imo they dont look too bad

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%205/SNC11406.jpg
here it is installed and its all good :D

[sniperbob]

those samsung monitors are real nice. Good clarity in pictures!! NICE BUILD :up:

[OdinEidolon]

nice!
what fans will you be using on the top rad? slipstreams are terrible on rads, if you have problem of space i suggest you using yate's D12-SMC 20mm fans. they are great!

[omaryunus]

nice!
what fans will you be using on the top rad? slipstreams are terrible on rads, if you have problem of space i suggest you using yate's D12-SMC 20mm fans. they are great!

I got slipstreams because they are the only 120x25 fan that pushes 110cfm and they are pretty cheap aswell... My panaflos work fine for the bottom for pushing and they fit fine aswell its just that I cant fint 120x38s up top in the Cosmos S... and I was planning on using the panaflos for pushing and the slipstreams for pulling... panaflos push at 103cfm and the slipstreams at 110 so I though it would be ok... but why would slipstreams be bad for rads?? any test results?? and Im pretty sure it would not be good if I were pushing at 103cfm and pulling at 80cfm any help would be good :D

[omaryunus]

Day 7 - small update

well im back with a little update :p got as much work done as I could without needing the next package which will be arriving tomm :D

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%207/SNC11490.jpg

and then I took ira-k and manyak(on OCN) 's advice and and soldered higher gauge wires on my TECs wires

my procedure:

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%207/SNC11492.jpg
cut the molex pins off

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%207/SNC11493.jpg
shortened wires so more can be higher gauge wire

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%207/SNC11494.jpg
soldered and heatshrinked

thanks alot bro :D and well you know whats funny this is a temp case :p I already ordered my MM Ascension :D just way too cramped in here and there is no way 2 480s gonna fit in it (;) slight preview)

[omaryunus]

Well a little news it turns out the 680i was dead :( so I got no output with th emobo no matter what I did. I tried 2 diff processors (E8400 and Celeron 430), 2 diff RAM(OCZ and G skill), 2 video cards(8600GTS and the 4870), and even 2 different PSUs(Corsair 750W and Cooler master 500W) so anyways it was my bad because I didnt test it enough b4 I proofed it :(:(:doh:

but anyways heres the update :D

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%2011/SNC11646.jpg
wasnt quite getting a good contact between the HS and the chip so decided to do a little mod on the stock heatsink

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%2011/SNC11647.jpg
DIRTY!

I got video output! :D

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%2011/SNC11636.jpg
into the bios

well heres where I had a little problem... I was checking the temps and well it does not stay at one temp it just keeps increasing... so I think it might be the Stock heatsink since it came with the single core celeron so I guess it might be the one thats made for single core cpus... So I ordered a Heatsink so we will see how it goes... if it still happens then sadly its a bad lap job :( which would suck but again I have a spare E8500 sitting around so I might use that... it was for a friend but still hasnt picked it up so Ill just take it :p

moving on got a few pics of me finishing the LEDs on the Cosmos S

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%2011/SNC11638.jpg

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%2011/SNC11639.jpg
wired and almost done

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%2011/SNC11644.jpg

and done and then it turned out he bottom three LEDs didnt turn on not sure yet why that happened but will figure that out tomm right now my back hurts like hell soldering and wiring stuff in there was not easy

well hope you guys enjoyed :D

not as bright as I imagined but these are still the weaker LEDs I got MUCH stronger LEDs coming in a few days

These LEDs have a luminosity of 3000-4000mcd
and the new LEDs have a luminosity of 25,000mcd

so yea gonna be a HUGE difference :D I hope they are as bright as they advertised them and I well cant wait till tomm got a big box from sidewinders comming tomm :D hint hint 480GTX ;)

This case is just MASSIVE and yet still seems soo small compared to the 480s :D but I did a slight test fitting and fits fine but I am unable to use the 5 drivebays on right oof the front panel since one of my 480s covers up one side

HOLY MOLY.

Now that is what you call an ORDER! $$$

One question, G15 mod, where from? :) Me like it haha.

it was no mod I forgot which software but I think it is from CoreTemp ill check and let you know


SO NICE!:D

I though u where going TEC on this one too?

But dont mix PT nuke and Feser dye!!!!!

I am going TEC on both im not taking as direct a move as i did with my 680i LT board :p my main rig is gonna go Water and THEN TEC so yea im gonna be slowly OCing as I go along and also my V8 isnt done yet so cant go to TEC just yet even if I wanted to

as for PT_NUKE and Feser Dye its according to Petras:


However, we do not recommend the use of Nuke -PHN with most "pre-mixed PC coolants" and dyes (though, our testing indicates that there may be no compatibility issue with Feser's UV dyes).

http://www.petrastechshop.com/peptpcobi1.html

[Cralle!]

Ye i know petras says it but I have seen people on this forum have bad junk buildups on blocks when using it.

But maybe it just with their older Pt nuke?

[omaryunus]

Ye i know petras says it but I have seen people on this forum have bad junk buildups on blocks when using it.

Well like I said earlier the Water i am currently thinking of using is homemade distilled water... Im using this water as a test for a few days or so and then I will check the inside of the block and then i have a bottle of Feser Aqua coming aswell and I am going to put Feser Dye in that and do the same test for another few days and see if it is my water or its the mixture so yea :D working on it... if its my water i have to buy 6 bottles of feser aqua (and yes i know its distilled water I am unable to but huge amounts of distilled water so I have to make it myself or order ALL of my liquid at once since its an international order... so alot more going on in the back then i let on :D well hope Ive answered your question will show you all how the GTZ looks like after the few days starting the first test right now with my water Feser Dye and PT_Nuke

[omaryunus]

Nice pump, I wish I could afford that.

[septim]

hmm seems like 3 whole PCs in this log... picture overload is good....

[omaryunus]

Nice pump, I wish I could afford that.

yea its also a hard pump to find... soo many places have it listed as a pump they have but they are mostly out of stock im just glad I got one its a great addition to run my TEC loop :D


hmm seems like 3 whole PCs in this log... picture overload is good....

well it is 2 PCs a HTPC and an extremely overkill PC :p and picture overload is going to last for a while so enjoy :D

An e8500 JUST IN CASE????? :rofl: that's gotta be one sick build you're planning on screwing up :ROTF:. Great work, I can't wait for the final TEC to be done :up:. I love all the pictures (I think you need to change the 56k warning in the title to "Holy Sh*t 56k users will get slaughtered").

I noticed you made a logo. I do custom logo work and such so if you would like an official logo for this build please PM me.

Amazing build so far, though :up:. Meesuh hungree fur updaytees *nom nom nom*!

yup just in case the Blood iron doesnt like the Celly or my lapjob on the E8400 turns out to be crap :p its good to have a backup :D... haha well look at the name of the thread now :p (didnt know if it would be against the rule to put Holy Sh*t in my title)

yea the logo was some weird online rendering site the only thing I could access from work :p but I might take you up on your offer the one in your sig looks sick :clap:

thanks for the complements :D I will have more updates for ya in a few hours once I get home from work... got my system stripped down to make my transfer from air to water and hopefully in a week and a half I can make my transfer to TEC cooling :D a long process to make sure everything is working and is going well and I hope I dont have any hiccups:d... I talked to fstfrddy of Stingerwaterblocks.com and he said he will be shipping my block soon :D it passed the leak testing and everything is good to go :D

not alot of pics :( turns out the EK 250 res started leaking from the where the multiport bottom screws in and I checked its VERY tightly screwed in and still leaks so thats not good :( what would be the best way to seal that area? I was thinking about putting conformal around it :p:... I know I need some sort of sealant there its just dripping out of the edge and thats not good in about 15mins it took me to take apart the whole loop half of the 250mm res was out of it :(... well im setting the loop up tomm with my 355 w/ restop (and yea i setup the Iwaki the wrong way i felt soo stupid :() not a good day at all I guess I jinxed it saying that I hope nothing wrong happens :p well anyways another try tomm and well for now i gotta pass out for work tomm :(

all tubing done but the one to the pump at this point because I needed to put it in hot water and stretch it so that it can fit over the pumps fittings :p

well thats all for now I got that on and when I started filling it I saw the leak and just broke it down and I took a time out and then I had to leave so for now this is how its sitting :(

[atomic ferret]

Wow...this is incredible....

[sniperbob]

That green sleeving with the gloss black case looks real nice man! Must be nice to have so much room to work in...

[ls206]

:o I almost got RSI scrolling through this thread!!
If there was one criticism, I would say you need more pics.....:D

Love the amount of pics dude! I'll bill you for the physiotherapy I need now ;)

[Quad-Damage]

why did u waste money on air and water parts, must be nice to be rich :)

Build looks great tho, I like what I see

I would of just went water straight off and not wasted time with air, but that's me.

[armeniandave]

Look like it will be a nice build when it's done! :up:
I might need some pics when your done....

[omaryunus]

Wow...this is incredible....

thanks alot atomic! :up:

I really didnt waste any money on air... I used two air cpu coolers which is the stock one that came with my celeron and the Scythe I bought for ($30) so not alot... and air is much easier to test and run to amke sure everythign is good than water since you have to deal with draining it and etc... alot more work with the same result :D

thanks for looking bro :up:


Look like it will be a nice build when it's done! :up:

yea for sure bro there will be ALOT more pics here and the finished pics will be here when it happens Im giving a ETC (Estimate time of completion :p) of 3 weeks with my fingers crossed... if you need any pics of anything let me know and Ill post em up here :D

[breathemetal]

This is just nuts lol

[Cutless009]

Yah its nuts, a nuts amount of WIRE GOING EVERYWHERE, holy crap dude, wire management 101, take it!:confused::eek:

[VOID WARRANTY]

This is insane...it looks like you went to frozen cpu.com and just put one of every thing in your cart..:D

[breathemetal]

Ah lookin @ this makes me want to just build my new rig now...but no..no,no,no i have to wait.
Good things come to those who wait right? Stupid saying...askd;jasd;as

Anyways, good luck!

MM cases are the best ;)

[omaryunus]

Yah its nuts, a nuts amount of WIRE GOING EVERYWHERE, holy crap dude, wire management 101, take it!:confused::eek:

haha this is just testing and OCing it for now and the PSU is temporary aswell when my HX1000w gets here it will look much better :D this PSU is going in the HTPC :D


This is insane...it looks like you went to frozen cpu.com and just put one of every thing in your cart..:D

haha funny thing i think i ordered like 5 things from frozencpu.com :p: more like I went to sidewindercomputers.com and put one of everything :p glad you liked it :D

haha yea i was just like that 3 months ago but waited till I had saved enough :D I think its a good saying I waited and saved up and I got this :D so not too bad

well my E8400 turned out to be a bust it is a C0 revision and cant go past 3.4 I had the voltage up to 1.45 and still nothing :(:( and then i realized I HAVE A E8500 :D which is a E0 revision and atm is running 44C full load 27C ambient temp @ 3.7 :D so hopefully I can do 4.0 on water and hopefully 4.0+ on TEC :D I have already setup a temp setup to check out the blood Iron :D and then will be moving this system into the Cosmos S :D and hopefully will have the HTPC going pretty well :D so thats the update for now will have pics in a bit gotta wait for the electricity to come back :( (yes we have an hour of no electricity 4 times a day to save energy... good thing my tv and my cable are on a HUGE UPS :D) well hope 45 mins to go :p:

THANK you all for looking :D

[breathemetal]

Where do you live?

[omaryunus]

Ive been overseas for the past 6 months in Pakistan

[omaryunus]

well got it stable at 4.05 w/ 1.46 VID Max temp of 59C im gonna go for 4.5 once I get my TEC setup good to go :D as the build goes... im gonna be taking apart the Ascension completely so it is ready for when the extension kit and the pedestal arrive... another reason being that the Ascension is using my Cosmos S's power supply... and since I have everything for my HTPC build and all the components in the ascension have been tested with air and water its time for the Cosmos S to get a little love and have all its components checked out... as for the Ascension I just ordered lighting for the case got a bunch of white, green and UV lights all of which will be on Delrin Switches... I also just bought sound dampening materials for the pedestal since its gonna have 2 Quads w/ 4 panaflos each and have 6 random fans on blowing air through it so gonna be kinda on the loud side :p: ( I personally dont mind but If i can decrease the sound that would be great :D) I also picked up a crap load of screws from mcmasters... Im going to be replacing all the major screws from the system not using thumbscrews for anything unless its a temporary setup... man mcmaster just pulls you in and you just keep buying :p: thats about it for now will have pics when i head home... will have pics of current water cooled temporary setup... dismantling and system checking of the Cosmos S components... well since I see LOADS of soldering in my near future so I invested in a new Weller Soldering station and well $40 aint alot for a such a quality product it was half off at amazon and well it would be perfect for me with its variable power (5-40W) and having a soldering station helps ALOT :p: and also got a multimeter since I didnt have one and i need one... well thats about all thats been going on

thanks for reading everyone :D

[omaryunus]

I got a little surprise by my dad a few days ago He saw the huge mess I had and how cramped my case was getting and he got one of the guys at his office check it out and see what he could do... well long story short he bought me an Extension kit AND a pedestal 24 :D BEST day EVER! :p:

then the best for last E8500 @ 4.05 :D

now im breaking the whole thing down so hopefully I will have some pics of the Blood Iron going later on today

everything has been shipped and it should arrive in the states today and will be shipped out to me and usually takes the weekend and will be here mon. or tuesday so that will basically include:


Stinger V8
HX1000W
Mcmaster screws and fasteners


so it would be nice to get that sexy block in my hand :p:

on to what I did last night I took apart the whole case and put it aside for now until I get my extension kit and pedestal which should arrive a week from monday :D and I started to work on the HTPC since I have EVERYTHING for the build but I went out with my friends instead :p: just been skipping over the HTPC soo much I dont know why but I just dont feel like doing it but still Ill get on that asap and will have pics about it later on tonight :D

well thanks for watching

[omaryunus]

well I had a BUNCH of problems and well after a LONG LONG test of every piece in the system I got that one of my memory modules is messed up and my 4870 is screwed... so Ive ordered a 4670 to replace it but for now my old 8600GTS is sitting there just to test it.

[omaryunus]

well the HTPC is proofed and running :D

thanks anubis

now I have some bad news :( :( i turned it on and was playing with it and what not and then I closed it to look around for any leaks and well no leaks and then i turn the power back on and there is a fizzle and the red power light on the cosmos S doesnt work now so I test the psu and nothing and then I put a different PSU's 24 pin in the extension and the MB lights up so my corsair 750W is dead and when I finally took the 750 out and then installed my crappy 500W cooler master psu everything seems to be ok but no output :( and right now im thinking the GPU is dead (second one in this build -_-) the monitor is good it keeps looking for source and the GPU's fan is still spinning and I cant smell anything that burnt ANYwhere in the case so I honestly dont know what really happened but I know for sure the TX750 is dead... well i bought a HX520W for this so atleast what I get is modular and works good with this system im gonna change the PCI Express slot soon and then im gonna wait for me 4670 and check it out with that... and I am NOT putting my 280GTX in there :p anyways heres some pics of the case with the cooler master 500W

and again thanks for looking everyone :D

[shazza]

4 Hours! Great job. Going to be interested to see you final choice of colors.

What did you use to remove the pins from the 24-pin connector?

[omaryunus]

Ive always used the Ogre sleeving I was jsut waiting for my 50 feet of it to come so I could sleeve the whole 24 pin :D and might do the 8 pin :p: for removing them I used sunbeam's power supply modding tools and I have to say a great kit I broke one of them after a PSU and when I was on my last pin of the 24 pin :p but thank god I had staples around :p: this isnt as awesome looking as yours but Im doing my best :D thanks for looking shazza :D

Day 20 - HTPC done and Extended Ascension/ Pedestal 24 assembled

well I got to working yesterday and this is how far I got came home late from work :(

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%2020/SNC12244.jpg
two boxes yay :D

heres the little box
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%2020/SNC12246.jpg

finally my 4670 arrives and it was the last piece I needed to FINISH this system!! yup the HTPC is done

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%2020/SNC12247.jpg
Asus is DEFINITELY not saving the planet :p: (look how much space is wasted)

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%2020/SNC12249.jpg
closer look at the card

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%2020/SNC12251.jpg
up and running and I watched a bunch of Blu ray movies on it and it seems great :D and a great feature about the 4670 is that I can pass my computer audio through the HDMI cable aswell makes ALOT less clutter :D

I thought the ascension was big but this thing just BLOWS that away sooo much more space and the pedestal is just amazing :D

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%2020/SNC12257.jpg
there was a problem with my order with the color and Ben gave me a free upgrade to Anodized Black and this thing is INSANE! and its a good contrast between my gloss black and the anodized black

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%2020/SNC12260.jpg
just MASSIVE!!!

STILL LOADS OF SPACE :D

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%2020/SNC12272.jpg
started checking everything and when i went over the holes in the smiley bottom it seemed too sharp for tubing and just to be safe I C-channeled it :D

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%2020/SNC12274.jpg
one done

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%2020/SNC12275.jpg
Smiley has been C-channeled :D

well since both the 480s are going in the bottom I will have the use of ALL my bays so the piece of acrylic I bought to cover the right 5 bays wont be used so I thought why not make a little holder then for the Aux PSU sockets

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%2020/SNC12277.jpg
it will be going in one of the fan holes in the back which is covered by a 480 so cant put a fan there but this should sit fine

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/ddevilz/TEC%20work%20log/Day%2020/SNC12278.jpg.
a mock up of the two sockets might seperate them a bit later gotta cut this out but for now im off I didnt have my 220 to 120 converter so cant use my jigsaw to cut this out

thanks every one for reading and looking :D more to come soon

[omaryunus]

heres Day 21 and some pics for all you good ppl out there :D

Well I started by mounting the second 480 to a pedestal 24 side panel

Holy :banana::banana::banana::banana: that is one big box, looking good.

[shazza]

Great progress. This is going to be a beautiful monster!

[upsidedown]

one sweet looking build, cant wait to see more~

[theorie]

im a little confused as to what's going on here...?

definitely not the route i would have chosen if i had a seemingly unlimited budget, but to each his own.

keep having fun with it!

we have the same 40" btw. works great huh? :)

[omaryunus]

Holy :banana::banana::banana::banana: that is one big box, looking good.
yea i know it makes the freaking Cosmos S look like a micro ATX box :p but as you will see this fills up in NO time :p


Great progress. This is going to be a beautiful monster!

oh yes oh yes *rubs hands maniacally* its almost alive :devil: muahahahaha :p


one sweet looking build, cant wait to see more~

yup more pics will be coming soon... just gotta wait till Friday night and i will be able to get SOO much more done


im a little confused as to what's going on here...?

definitely not the route i would have chosen if i had a seemingly unlimited budget, but to each his own.

keep having fun with it!

we have the same 40" btw. works great huh? :)


yea its confusing i basically started out with the Cosmos S which was intended to be a test try for TEC cooling...then in the middle of the build I had saved up enough money to buy the Ascension and when that got here my dad thought it was too small for EVERYTHING that I had :p and surprised me with the extension kit and the pedestal well more like he surprised me with the receipt :p... that is the jist of what happened in this build log

i had this build somewhat planned for quite a while and well Ive done WCing, Ive done air cooling and the next step for me was to try something new so I went with TEC cooling and i might be going with phase change later on just to try it out (im very curious about everything computers:p)

yea i love that TV its awesome works amazing and I love watching blu ray movies on it sooooo good :D especially now my computer plays blu rays while the CPU is sitting at -30C :p its pretty unique If i may say so myself :D

thanks for looking everybody:up::up:

Nice bunch of updates :up:

Thanks for looking MomijiTMO :up:

:D

heres another one:


HaHa..:D..Thats the part I always leave out till its to late..:p

haha soo true :D and just slowly moving on to DICE :p: maybe ive been thinking about it got a few custom pieces made by Duniek he does GREAT work :D


well I finally got a chance to get on, vacations rock :D

And man, I completely forgot how hot that machine looked. Such beautiful PCs.... sucks you gotta live out in the middle of nowhere (relatively speaking), those shipments should have been arriving faster.

Speaking of shipping, I found something that you might find pretty useful. Aramex Shop-n-ship (http://www.aramex.com/shopandship/Default.aspx). What happens is that they give you an actual address in the states so that you can order from anywhere you want even if they don't deliver internationally (like newegg for example), and anything you get shipped to that address gets forwarded to anywhere in the world. Pretty neat stuff :)

hey thanks for the link yea I use a company like that to get my shipments consolidated and shipped here at once still takes about 4 days to get here got a few more pics to show how the PC is looking :D

DAY 26

[omaryunus]

AND ITS ALIVE!!! :D im on it right now and it works like a beauty!!! :D the temps kinda weird running at -10C atm it seems a bit high but my room temp atm is 25C so a -35C delta is not bad right

EDIT: now its -14C :D :D and dropping

sad EDIT :( : I got a problem with my GPU loop... these past two days I have had a problem with every loop... My TEC loop started leaking when I was filling it up had to drain the loop which was a huge ***** in this case and wen you see where this case is sitting I dont have much space to move it back and forth... fixed that by putting a 45 BP fitting on each of the rads because the tubing was over stretched and I had not checked before filling since its in the pedestal and it was an ultra stupid mistake :doh: and then fixed that and dried off the pedestal and everything clean and going and then i started to fill up the next two loops and then the RAM/NB/SB/Mosfets loop started to leak :( and had to fix that which was a HUGE :swearing: got that fixed and then everything worked and now I have my GPU loop which didnt leak but my GPU is running at 69C and went up to 85C yesterday :( so I gotta break down that loop and check the GPU block :( but will have pics for you in a bit they are uploading as I type :D

PICTURES EDIT!:

well I had taken some pics and forgotten to upload them from a few days ago so there are a few from the day after my last post of pics here goes:

with the case

thanks for looking and once I fix the GPU problem I will get a video of the finished product from temps to all the switches and im hoping maybe in the next week or two to receive the DVD covers :D and I want this things closed by the end of this weekend

[omaryunus]

well a little update on my GPU not too good got the whole thing removed took it out and the contact with the card and the block was HORRIBLE... i cleaned both of em up and then re applied thermal paste on everything and then re applied the block and it looked better... placed the card back in the system and powered it up when i went to check the temps it said the temps were over 4 million C so yea i know that wrong but i think i messed up the sensor somehow and well placed a thermal probe from the scythe fan controller and it says the block it self is at 26C this is better because before it was running around 35-36C so contact is better but this sensor thing and then i go to firefox and the graphics start bugging out i shut it off and have been blow drying the card every hour or two and hopefully if any liquid got onto the card it will have dryed up in the next day or two *fingers crossed*

Thanks for looking everyone

EDIT:

some happy news... been searching the web for a good deal on a new 280 just in case and i found one for $270 being sold by AuDioFreak39 here in the for sale section such an awesome deal and Im now going with a new WB for the 280 aswell i think this block is just a bit screwy... going to go with the XSPC razor it has better flow and is soo cheap over at sidewindercomputers.com only $90 shipped for a FC is DAMN cheap and its good looking and all the reviews have been positive for it... im buying this just in case so if anything not wrong with that one i just gotta spend another $90 on another XSPC razor and i can SLI... the aquagrafx is not made to sli im highly disappointed by this FC WB

[-Acid-]

great thread just sat down and read the lot :D

what sort of oc are u getting with that block and is the coldplate clamped down to the block ?

[omaryunus]

havent had time to OC just yet my GPU has been acting up :( and i think it may have gone bad because i tried using it and the graphics just went out and there was no response no matter what i did :( .... and no the cold plate is not clamped to the block that would be an integrated block that is much more expensive and also fstfrddy doesnt do em any more... im getting -16C in a 20C ambient so it aint too bad :p as for an OC i can take this CPU to 4.0 without too much increase in voltage so thats good :D will get abck once i fix my graphics problem :(

[sniperbob]

nice mouse pad!;) i wonder who else has one of those... Great looking cube though! Keep the pics coming, and hopefully your GPU problem gets figured out!

[omaryunus]

haha yea i love this mouse pad aswell :D good stuff :D yea cant wait to get this actually finished the GPU is giving alot of problems it works fine for about 10 mins in windows and then the screen goes blank and nothing brings it back... after reseating the WB the sensor started reading the temp as over a million C :p and yesterday i checked and now its 4C :p with a 20C ambient :D i know thats not correct but next to a -16C temp it looks normal but yea gotta get this fixed

Wow ... amazing amount of work and mods you've done. I like the green - great job adding the LEDs. The finished case looks impressive. Good Luck with your GPU issue.

Pure Insanity ...
Nothing else to say o_O

thanks shazza its not nearly as clean as your case but i did my best :p: well the GPU issue is doing better ive had to hijack funds from other projects or items (Nikon D40 we were not meant to be :() i wanted to start or get but its for the best i guess. I got a great deal on another GTX 280 from audiofreak39 and I picked up a XSPC razor 280 Full cover block... the aquagrafx has no back plate so it both bends the block and nothing to cool the memory on the back of the card so hopefully can get this going :D

thank you jimmyxxx :D means alot that you spent the time going through my work log. :up:

but this build is not over yet... this is a slightly Temp setup... I will probably get this up and going once i can get my new 280 and the WB and then i have a few custom pieces that will be the major parts of the build :D i got some good things in the works keep watching everyone :D

Impressive TEC job and I love the focus on the "little things" :D

Any info on power draw from the wall? ;)

thanks alot for the kind words :D

but I got no idea of draw I should probably check but im too lazy... I know I got a total of 1700W of PSUs in this case and well thats the most Ive ever done personally :p... thanks for looking and keep watching more to come :up:


well got a little update... I have everything in hand now the new GPU and the XSPC Razor gtx280 FC block :D and a bunch of stuff of which I will post pics soon (yea i know i said that before but this time ill do it :p:) just been ultra lazy so havent done anything with all that... I got 3dmark 06 and vantage on to test my current video card it seems to be ok the weird graphic glitches and etc do not appear to happen anymore... so decided to run 3dmarks to see if the system is ok... well as for scores atm it seems a bit low to me not sure since this is my first GTX 280... I scored 13k in 3dmark06 and then I scored P9k in vantage which seemed REALLY low to me not sure why... well I think something is shot on this card but dont know what... anyways I have my second card in hand and will be testing it with air very soon as soon as I disassemble the GPU loop and then will check out my scores of a stock EVGA gtx 280 if it seems the score was ok then im gonna put em in SLI :D (then I will be buying another XSPC razor FC block) lets see how that happens and for those waiting on my 360 watercooling project it will be up very soon... my current 360 is shot because it was a crap Xephyr and runs REALLY hot and my eject button is screwed the connection is fine just the button failed... so I ended up picking up a new Xbox 360 for $200 this is the arcade since i already have a 120GB HDD and the arcades have a higher chance of coming out as a Jasper (best mobo out yet) and comes with one of the best DVD drives... I returned the new drive and hopefully will be silencing my new 360 :D :D cant wait :D yea so ALOT of things around the bend... just wanted to let yall know and it is a holiday over here tomm so I should get alot of work done tonight and tomm :D hopefully get the whole thing up and running that would be a GREAT plus :D

nice update Omar!
those silver fatboys look amazing!

I'm sorry about your dead E8400... next time send me your processor before killing it. lol

cheers from brazil

[omaryunus]

well a little update got my system running pretty stable at 4.5 :D now on to OCing the GPU cant wait to see how this will do pics to validate this will be up soon with the 4.5 I idle at -10C and load at 20C this is in an ambient of 25-28C and all I really have to do now is switch out the stock cooler on the 280 and place the XSPC waterblock on it and then test that out... since I have had such a hard time takeing the GPU loop out what I have decided to do is to replace the silver barbs with koolance QDs the ones i have are VL3 bought em just before the VL4s came out but anyways i am really liking the feel of these... these will be leak tested today to see how well it will work anyways thought i would let you guys know of the progress :up: thanks for watching
