FrankenCool

here is my new cooling system,
it's not so nice as some other systems but i like it.

i recycled my old reserator v1+ plus the zm-rf1 fan.
removed the pump
add an aquastream XT ultra pump, a MCR320 radiator and 3 noctua nf-p12
all regulated by the pump.
i use 9mm/12mm tubing.

cpu waterblock ek supreme LT
for the GPU waterblock i wait for my new graphic card.

but for now i have 20 celsius degres drop compared to my old reserator with the zm-rf1 Fan.

and what's cool is that i launched cpu burn tests and the fans activate at 40-50% (so no sound) after 1h40

oh and of course i use the zalman additive to prevent corrosion, i'm not dumb.

message to Naekuh, YES you can have copper waterblock and alu radiator,
here is a picture of my CPU waterblock i just send to retirement after 4 years of 24/7 working.

just using the additive and change water and additive once a year and that's it.
and even the inside of my reserator is clean, even the place where i have a little scratch, this scratch is still clean.
i jsut think that not using an additive is like goin outside and have sex without condom... you can be lucky... or not.

Well it is once compact lc system :)

Very nice, pretty ghetto, but functional :)

I like it! Yes, just don't get lazy and forget to add the anticorrosion stuff please.

thats really compact

but i have even compact wc setup i could make
buy mcp355 + xspc res/top + any 360 rad
take a 90 and connect it to the rad and the other to a pump( use a d-link if needed to get clearance) and then their you go

Talk about ghetto mods, nothing wrong with recycling :up:
Consider swapping that 90° on the pump discharge for something a bit less restrictive ;)

thanks,
i'll think about it but it's very convenient as my pc is right behind, but as soon as i receive my 285 waterblock.

and what's cool in my loop is that with more that 2.5 litters of capacity, i got potential inertia that helps te reserator part to cool.

yes i'm sure you can have more compact setup, but what's more important to me as i have a powerful htpc is silence,
i'm fanless most of the time, you can see on the temp graph of this burn, the fans runs only after 11 minutes of burning.

The ghetto(Ness) of it makes it absolutely brilliant! :up:

I like it :) I looks like a design you could strap to your back - yay for mobile xtreme water cooling :D
The reserator is much bigger than I'd imagined from store photo's.

I think it looks like a Ghostbusters Proton Pack.

[taowulf]

needs more duct tape.

[psychotik2k3]

yes the reserator tower is quite high and as i used quick disconnect from koolance i can move my pc if i want (ok i will not because it's my htpc but if i have to move that helps a lot)
