The story starts with me and my OC partner mathiasm87 that overclocks a few times each year under the name Shark OC.

We tried benching many different things, and bought a lot of equipment in the last few years, but one thing we miss is benching 4 way sli.
It's not that fun on air and if we should do it on DICE or LN2 then we need 2 more slim pots and need to buy LN2 or DICE each time.

Instead we decided to build a water cooling rig that also would be cool for events.

The idea:
Should be able to take it with us to events
2 loops (one for cpu and one for gfx)
The water should be able to be cooled down with a SS unit in the loop
Have a built in screen for events

To make this project we found some sponsors

<b>Aquatuning
</b>First of all a big thanks to Aquatuning, without these guys we would never have been able to make this project

<b>Fractal Design</b>
Also a big thanks to Fractal Design that sent us a box with 40 fans!

Right now the plan is to make it in 2 revisions

Rev. 1. will not run subzero. This is to build the case and check that everything is working.
Rev. 2. With 2 custom made cobber pieces we should be able to mount a SS unit on each loop. There should also be connecters to remove the rad from the loop so it don't heat up the loop

I will keep you updated once a week and hope that you guys will give me some feedback so I can make it even better :)

Now it?s time to look at what we have done so far. All the stuff arrived right before I took on holiday for 3 weeks :( but then there was something to work with when I got home again.

On the left here you can see the screws that was with the rad, only fit for 38mm fans :( And Aquatuning want 1 euro for 4 screws in the right lenght for 25mm fans. Why not send them with the rad? The ones to the right I bought for 20 euro incl shipping for 200 pcs here in DK

And Finally I got some fans mounted! I used 2 hours because I wanted the wires to fit in between the fans! Not a easy task.

Next week I will build the whole case that will go right under the rads and house a small pc, the psu, all wires and some more cool stuff.

Was this meant for the water cooling section?
