Yeah that caught me off guard..black fluid picked up left over green dye in my pump. Next flush I'll fix it.Quote:

Stay tuned for my liquid cooled Socket 7 box.

used a Laing D5 vario (Swiftech MCP655) at middle setting with the 2 gx2 blocks and the s2e ek set. had no problems.
well the mora2 is build for a huge heatload...don't think a thermochill could handle that at all but u will need fans with a well static pressure, the scythe kaze 3000 worked very well @7v
3R, save your money. That's a condenser style rad. Sure, it may be big, but it's very inefficient.....and the bends.:eek: :down:Quote:

looks like you're gonna need more than a D5 to push water through that thing...
and holy 1/2" to (2 inch?) conversion...
Nah, that would never fly for 3R, he's all about the bling and you could never find a car rad blingy enough.....unless BP comes out with a gold or nickel plated car rad from some Taiwanese car. :rofl:Quote:

Next month will change the CPU/NB tubing and add a Alphacool 2-bay Panel.
Maybe add a temp sensor on the EK res.

Hi, i just bought a friends case that he has modded so i can have two tripple rads and a dual rad.

Rads and a new pump is coming soon, gonna make a dual-loop! :D
im trying to figure out how im going to run my loop, is it safe to have the EK multi option res upside down, so the single threaded hole is at the bottom?
Haha, that's true tough:rofl: And stormshadow, that pump is more than enought for that system, I think lot of people here underestimate their pumps:shrug: When I finished my Sonata II Resurrected loop, I saw how fast those bubbles went trought the system. Only bad thing about rad that big is that it takes days to get all air out of it.Quote:

Slightly updated shots.
Need to pick up some sleeving crud so I can take care of the couple stray wires I've got.
Also need to break out the good ol dremel and cut a couple holes in the mobo tray.
aspire, that's my case :) And dude that black interior looks good! I really have to do that to mine.
@aspire.comptech: any benefits on turning the hard drive upside down?
as[ire.comptech,
Dude, what's that sexy matte black tubing ? :)
I don't know if you guys have seen Coolmeister's latest Skulltrail mouthwatering masterpiece. This should be in a museum.
+1 That is one sexy beast! The black tubing that aspire is using could well be neropene?
Thats an amazing case, lots of $$$$
Those are 9800GX2 right? But why not GTX 280?
I wouldn't be qualified to speak for Coolermeister, but I'll give it a shot :)
First of all, this is a sponsored build. Therefore, the video cards were provided by Zotac, the manufacturer, and therefore the man may have had influence, but the decision to use GX2s was the manufacturer's.
The GTX280 is very powerful, but the Skulltrail platform does not allow Tri-SLI. I'm not sure which is better.. double GTX280 or dual GX2 (aka quad SLI). Logic would dictate that Quad SLI would rule, but I wouldn't know for sure.
The third reason is visually, Ithink quad SLI looks more intimidating lol :ROTF: Look at those EK nickel plated videoblocks.
That is an absolutely beautiful piece of engineering. A Royal would be proud to own that system.
Just happened to be the way the orientation of my stat connectors from my psu were.Quote:

If its sponsored, then I cant say anything.
Now, Tri-SLI doesnt always mean "gain". SLI is what will bring the most performance and doesnt need 1.2k psu and you save space on your case. True, Quad SLI looks sick too, is known to perform the same as Tri-SLI but I would always prefer the new tech so I think GTX 280 would have been better :D
ANyways Quad looks good, and btw, I cant stop looking at that build xD
pretty nice first build there mode looks good.
That's an EXCELLENT first build :clap: :up:Quote:

You can see in my picture the tubing run from the cpu to the gpu.
Thats basically as tight a bend it can manage without really starting to kink.
Coils work excellent on it tho.
Möööp. Wrong :DQuote:

why didn't you do they mobo tray :) not a fan of the green woulda maybe went all blue... but whatever floats your boat..mate
nice work
icrunk, rip of the shields on the NB and SB cooler, those only trap heat. ;)
i wanted to polish the mobo tray to a mirror finish.. but then i wasnt too sure how to.. so i left it how it is.Quote:

Is it Feser uv blue additive or what?
Looks neat although I'm not too fond of the green cables :p: (blue ftw)
Yes, very easy, it's just stuck with doublesided tape, just pry it off with a knife or a flathead screwdriver.Quote:

I know the Radiator's excessive and so is the PSU but i love it :)!
Forgot to mention the tubing is 7/16 Id on 1/2 OD barbs. Its a very tight fit so i don't believe
there's a need for clamps. The system was leak tested for 24 hours too.
callen_1 great, great great ! :)
Love it, very clean.
:up:
Very nice, looks like a lot of hard work has gone into that build, Great work!
very clean callen_1! :up:
very very nice fallen one!!!
almost mdpc worthy... only thing is that green pcb on the gfx
awesome build anyways!!
I have the same psu mate and i see you sleeved looks good may i ask how you did it? as i would like to do the same...How did you remember where they went as they not color coded...
CHEERS!
also what size dimensions are that case?
Cheers for the positive comments guys, really appreciate it.
@ disruptfam, to sleeve the 24-pin (and i hope people don't mind me writing
this here) -
1) i split each individual cable from the others (end to end) while the plastic
heads were still attached.
2) i used an atx tool to remove a single pin from the end going to the mobo.
3) i cut some thick sleeve (approx. 20 cm long) and two pieces of thick
heatshrink and pushed the single "removed" cable through all of it (without
shrinking yet).
4) i then used thin sleeve and thin shrink wrap on the end of the cable and
used a heat gun to secure it (only the thin heat shrink tho)
5) i re-inserted the pin into its place in the plastic head and did the same to
every other pin, 1 by 1, threading each cable through the thick sleeve.
6) finally i used the heat gun to shrink the thick heat shrink arund the thick
shrink wrap to secure it after it was zip tied.
hope that helps :up:
The case is a lian-li PC-A10B and its dimensions from the site are -
215mm x 535mm x 522mm ( W, H, D)
Before i watercooled i loved the case because i like the minimalist design.
But when i first started watercooling i had never modded a case before, so
when i first tried modding i hated the case and thought it was too small -
see -
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&pictureid=202
What a f#$%ed up mess!! Although the parts in that system were much
higher end at the time, but i can tell you right now i'd much rather it as it is
now, and in the end it turned out to be a great case (minus the hassle of not
being able to buy a pre built window panel!)
Yes it is Feser uv blue dye.. I might sleeve it all blue one day :p:Quote:

Nope, it isn't they look very similar, but the A10 is shorter and has a different unique layout more similar to that of a TJ07, the rocketfish is alot more like the Lian Li G70. Not trying to diminish the rocketfish or the Lian Li but they aren't the same. Speaking of which I almost got the A10 before I decided on the TJ09 as my next project.Quote:

Still a fair bit more work to go, hence why theres still some cable clutter. Will be replacing the 3870X2 with a 4870X2 and DFI 790FX with a SB750 board when they both arrive. GPU waterloop should be in by next weekend though.

pwolfe, that looks sweet man!
I used a point and shoot for my pics too. you just need to take them in
a naturally bright place without the flash and use a tripod (i bought a
cheap $29 one, it seemed to do the job) and lower the iso as much as
possible.
If people need more advice on how to shoot photos there's a short list of
instructions on the mdpc site. It helped a lot, especilly the tripod tip!
