Jiggy's WC long log (TJ07)

Ok, i have seen alot of worklogs while poking around here so my TJ07 arrives next week sometime and i think i might start might own long worklog as being 17 i will gather money over the summer holiday from working part time :rolleyes:i will also add lots of pictures as i know 60% if the people dont bother to read the pots they just like the 'pretty' colours ;)

This will be my 3rd attempt at watercooling and i plan this time to do a proper neat and professional job of it.

This is my current build

From this i will take all of the hardware (CPU, MOBO, RAM etc) and add to the new rig... Later in the summer i will upgrade to i7, i will take all of the WC parts and in addition i have ordered a 360 rad, some compression fitting, looots of sleeving, new blue 3/4" OD tubing and other random things i will add as the thread thickens ;)

I dont have a nice D-SLR camera just the basic $100 family digital camera but... i will try my best to get some nice shots to show you all

Blue 3/4" OD tubing

Shame that Feser tubing is such an awkward size - so thin walled!

the 1/2" isn't to badder size, its nice for only small amount of cooling, it will be cooling my NB and mofset. And the size aswell of colour difference between the two loops looks nice ;) (i hope :rolleyes:)

Yeah Maxxie will have purple fluid in her build and someone linked this 'purple' tubing to her log. Well, it's certainly not what I call purple :(.

Great pics, it shows you don't need a dSLR, but rather learn how to take a photo. :up:

That is a nice setup, i love the rad on the wall :up:

I'm looking forward to to seeing the new build. Do you plan to try to keep everything internal this time, or will it still be all external?

well i'm keeping the zalman, so that will be external. But i think the rest will be internal this time, its so hard to move it with that thing on the all :rolleyes:... But i might come up with some random idea and have some tubes poking out, not sure yet :D

I will get a bit of sleeving done tonight and will post some pics before it gets to dark to take some pics, the case should be arriving 2 -3 days :rolleyes: (finally). So lots of pics then ;)

I am thinking if to install Vista 64 bit on the SSD or Windows 7 RC (beta) what do you guys think (and reasons ;))

I am also thinking of having some T.E.C cooling, have a look at this post if want ;)

you could take some needle-nose pliers, stick the heatshrink over them and stretch the tubing out to get it over the end plugs, and then just shrink it back down
