Cover the top with masking-tape, measure out where you need to cut the hole, take out your Dremel multitool and cut away! :)

Of course you need to remove everything inside the case first.. :) And you might have to put the PSU in the bottom of the case if you dont have room for it at the top, after you install the dualrad, but that is easy too..
You just drill out the "ribbits" that is holding the "PSU cover/frame" in place and remove it..

Hope this helps a little... ;)

My first WC job! The WC is complete but I'm missing some black zips, my 4pin molex's, and a UV light. Otherwise the case is finished.

Bet you 10$ your temps wont shift for worse if you take off that single at the back. ;p

probably, but I like to turn off the other fans and leave that one on low. Plus the tension from the cpu to GPU card was kinda high, so I opted to put that pressure somewhere else.

Mine! :cool: :D

two different ID tubes?? :eek:

Maybe two different loops?

yesh two different loops... 1 for the CPU cooled by a TC HE120.2mm rad and the other loop cools everything-else inside the rig on an evo360

Talk about over kill!!

And I thought I was nuts building a rig with a PA120.3 and a PA160.... The closer to ambient, the better.

Here's my baby,Just need to gt some UV dye and hopefully soon a 320W peltier is to be fitted,For super sub zero temps.....:banana:


Here's my WaterChill Xtreme CPU/VGA/Chipset Cooling Kit Dual 120mm Radiator/Quad Fans.This rig keeps my AMD X2 4600+ Idle at 28-30c and my xfx 7800 gtx idle at about the same.

I know this is the WC gallery - but since you guys liked the CM 210 and 220s so much - here is a pic of mine from a few years ago. I think it was my p4 3.0 ES on a Asus board.

Well, I can finally post pics of my system in here... :) Just got the V2000-B yesterday and I love this case. A couple issues with the rad that I'm using, but it's sufficient for what I need it to do.

cuz I just tested it, the mp-1 and maze 4 and I felt like using the MCW-60. :)

Reverse the fan/shroud to pull air from casefront -> rad ->into case, will exhaust throught bottom back just FINE :D (I speak from personal experience :fact: (pats V2000 w/PA160)) And if you think that is fun, try doing the same setup in a v1000 :eek:

Did you mount the rad? Or did you just have it sitting there?

This is my first attemt at water cooling. I guess it does ok. 1000mhz OC on CPU with load temps of 38-40c.
Exos 2, DD MAZE4GPU x2, DD TDX.
I'm up for suggestions.
Is anybody modding the Exos 2?
I'd like a better pump!

There's a pic back in here somewherehttp://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=888, but yeah cut out the bottom to match PA160 fin area and put some foam weatherstripping @ hole border, then just put rad on top.

Maneliiiii,isso tá uma maravilhaaaa,por acaso podes me dar as medidas??são iguais para todos os 240,sabes?

Sick job on that top radiator mount man :toast:

I'm not liking the eheim pump or bay res though.

nao faço ideia se sao iguais pa todas.(id dont know if they are the same) pra que rad tavas a pensar?(for wich rad were you thinking?) .by the way who are you? (outro nick:D )

Yeah, that was nicely done, but it's a V1000, not hte V2000 that I have. I could probably do the same, but I need the HD racks in the bottom. It'll have to stay the wya I have it for now.

THANKS it gave me a hell of a job to do it, but it is done=)
the bay res, and the eheim i have to keep with them because there is no money for other pump ou Res.
tomorrow i may put some pics with th WC system mounted, on cpu only, because the mcw55 will come only when money arrives:slapass:

you are completely right. a friend of mine who have a pc component shop, have already those screws =).
today i have already put the DD conectors on the reservoir, and the 3/8 to 1/2 on the Rad. i am just waiting now for the Tygon tube. mcw55 will come later because money , dont grows form the floor :slapass:
Thanks Maxxx, and everyone

Another thing: the DDC gets a nice kick in performance if you use the top barb in the plexi-top as inlet. No-cost performance upgrade for you :)

Thats how i run mine. Makes top-mounted rad easier as well :)

Ill have pics up very soon, of my very first water-cooled rig.

Lian Li PC-7B / BIP2 top mount :)

thanks will fix that when my triple-rad will come onto top (inside, only have to turn the power-supply by 90 degree so it´s flat:rolleyes: )

but where to take the water-tank i can´t find any place for it (i don´t like that mounting in front of my graphics card)

PS: don´t want to have anything external as i go very often to lanpartys:(

...just use a t-line. makes it lighter as well, every little helps if youre lugging it to lans :)

i don´t like this t-lines:stick: , they simply don´t look as good as a tank:(

and 1/2 kilo more or less doesn´t matter:p:

but where to put my tank, i thought between motherboard and drive-bay but that would be a bit sticky there:confused:

Could just get the Alphacool Res for the DDC, that would give you the same performance increase as using the top barb for inlet...

#1163 Nope, using the top mouting hole is the best :)

Well, there u go. And the Plus is even better than the Pro, no? If i had cash to spare, id buy one just to see how good it is...

DDC Plus/Ultra/Rev2 is the best :)
Pro is just the normal version with the plexitop...
http://coolercasesuk.co.uk/showthread.php?t=15

Actually the test I linked to before shows that when you are using the front hole as inlet on the DDC Pro it's performance DECREASE compared to the normal version :)

lets hope i can get some money together so finish the monster off, anywho, heres the pics :) enjoy:

wow dude, i cant believe im seeing what my case will look like. i just bought a 120.3..... i have the silver classic v1000.... i am about to make a tinted window (and mesh lower area).... i did mod my sunbeam fan controller into a front panel....

just wow. well at least i know it looks GREAT! thanks! :toast:

Btw, l/h doesent really matter v much, its max head that matters.

but litres are the only thing wich stay in this data-sheet what i had, have got no flow-meter here

PS: i´ll start it using when i put a stainless steel plate onto top and a triple-rad inside this case;)

@i saw it later cut i was too lazy to edit my posting

its good that you dont have a flow-meter. sub-1000$ flowmeters kill your flow.

Wow, that looks a lot like my PC :P
Did you copy from me? lol
you can check mine on my sig below

Nice job :up:
Only difference is that my case is smaller, and the tubeings are thinner (1/2")

What a coincidence, Im also getting the same Saitek Red Special Edition keyboard in a few days.
A long time ago I had a Red Deck keybard, but I RMAed it because it was having some issues. When I holded several keys in a series, others would stop working :rolleyes: They said it was unlucky to get a keyboard with a bad driver and that the newer keyboards wouldnt have this problem.

Im also probably going to take off my cr@#$y red CCFL cover and wrap the bulb with red candy wrapping paper so it looks more red. :D

Im thinking about adding the following to my PC:
- Red Saytek keybard $50
- x1900xtx $450 (There was a offer like this in NewEgg. Ill be hunting for another one)
- Maze4 block $50
- New 1/2" tubeing ~$20
- 2x1Gb of a nice, OCable DDR500 Cas 3 RAM for ~$200
- Iwaki MD20RLZ $180 (If I can pull out the money afther all the above :p: )

i´ve always been a bit skeptic about these fms:)

but when i get 80 euros i´ll buy a t-balancer KTC|edition with some inlines, then i can read out my watertemp the first time:rolleyes:

i also can skip the crappy smartguardian fan-regulation with that thing

i´ve got one more question:

which is the best cooler for an x1800 (gto, when it is avaiable)

i´m thinking of getting a 2nd cpu-cooler and drill out the mounting, then it would fit onto graphics cards (mounting will look so, only newer cooler rev. with finer canals and a better looking top (looks like this internally)

are there any other watercoolers wich are as flat as this one and performs better?

i only know core-temp of my opty 170 which stay at 31 degree under full load, i am too poor for a water-sensor:(

Ive got a t-balancer. I cut a thin slit into some tubing and slid in a thin thermal probe. I get H2O temps on samurize now ^^"

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=92628

Do you mean waterblock? MCW60 or MP-1. That doesent look like it has the power to cool an X1800.

hmm if it has the power to keep a opty 170 @ 2.6 gig /1.45 volts at 32 ° under full load it should have enough for an x 1800 won´t you think?

it´s not very vood visible on this images but it has a lot of fins (hmm i´ll make some pics when i get it out but it´s as powerful as a nexxos xp and has nearly no flow reduction (well it´s nearly the most powerful cooler which is produced in europe:))


i like that sensor inside this tube :D

Ah, it looks flat from here. Well, if you can mod it so it fits, i guess itll work well. :)

it is pretty flat about 1.5 cm but the cooling-space is huge due to it´s 46 parallel fins that´s why i want to use it on graphics-cards, with 90 ° fittings it will only take 1 extra slot;)

try to put those cables into your drive-bay;)

Which cables?--the ones at the top by the PSU?... no room in drive bays.. all filled up ;)
And besides, they would be long enough to be able to stay in there I think... but might give it a try...

I got that same case :D

I too need to work on my wiring >_<

But I plan to do that next month when I change out my water.

PhanTom :

What temps are you getting with your setup?
I have the Nexxxos XP bold, along with the GP2X-A and HTF2X rad, board is the Expert too, with an X2 3800+ at 2850Mhz, 1.392V.

Jupiler>well, I am currently at 2800 (vcore 1.475) with my opty170, idle temp is 24-26, full dual load temp is 37-39

@ 4Qman: try to put this thermochill onto top (the dual!), that will give you back 5 drive bays and put this single to the backside, you´ll need one fan less and will have nearly no temp growings (you can fit the dual internally too!)

i´ll get a new triple on monday and i´ve got plans to fit it internally on top ba turning the power supply 90° and put the power cord onto the right side (will also make it moreeasy to plug in this damn modular power cords (i´m starting to hate them:( )

the front metal guard looks very good but how about dust?:confused:

i´ll get a new triple on monday and i´ve got plans to fit it internally on top ba turning the power supply 90° and put the power cord onto the right side (will also make it moreeasy to plug in this damn modular power cords (i´m starting to hate them:( )

the front metal guard looks very good but how about dust?:confused:

Well the PA160 ontop is nicley fitted now, I dont use the Drive mabys mate and i have 2 spare anyway now. :D

I like the mod idea u mention, sounds good and cant wait for the pics. If u have the Armour Case PM me with the pics when u get it done dude.

Also mate the fans are set to blow and the front and suck in from the rear, I have the window open and get good temps like 18-20oC idle on this water setup. So dust is ok. U like the Yellow?

yeh i like it, it´s done with an airbrush?

hopely my dad packs out his for brushing my case front black (this silver looks ugly:mad: ). i also have to buy a stainless steel plate for my case top :D

u think power cord to top, right or left is the best?

first i thought right would be the best, but with a bit more modding i could hang it onto top what would look cooler. furthermore i´m a bit afraid of this thin aluminium walls so top mounting into a steel-plate would be much better:rolleyes:

what do you think about?

PS: i love this armor you can do a lot of modding with it, muc better than my old chieftech mesh:p:

I done the yellow from Tin mate. LMAO, looks good then again it took 2 atemps.:D I used Clear lacker on it after so gives the smooth effect.

Also u mean having the PSU on its side up top. If so i think the Leads would be best R/Hand side mate. Also put the colour UV on the Leads as it makes a big diference.

mmmh will think over night:(

tomorrow i´ll take my rig to my dad where i´ll mod for 2 days as i havent got a lot of tools at my home;) , so pics will follow monday or so;)

well i think that the heat should exhaust to the top and the ps-fan shzould suck cold air from the back, that should be the best i think and then i don´t have to cut my doors wich are much harder to replace than a top:rolleyes:

hahah thanks, silly me.
i had just really felt like i was TOO excited that i could finally have a GOOD passive solution that didnt require an ugly implementation and massive modding.... i thought it may have been too good to be true... so i wanted to make sure ha

ya me also

i am searchign for this h/s right now :)

well post it when you find it homie. im thinkin it IS the swiftie sink they recently released with the fan taken off the top

Actually, that's the older revision chipset cooler. This is the recent revision one:

That's on my Expert ;) Here's another one I came up with on my Ultra-D :D :

It was made from a passive aerocool vga cooler.

yea i figured i was gonna cop the new swifite. i jsut need to make sure it will ffit with both my GT's in there. bu it seems like a WAY better course of action for me than :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing with the zalman (ewww)

the heatpipe one looks nice. i was looking at the thermalright -05 one too hmmmz.

/me thinks i need to see all of your cooling solutions for ideas!

ok, here is what im sayin: the ends of cards have the long heatsink (the one you have upgraded with the copper fins) + large caps

so lookin at some pics i can seee that it wont fit in neatly like yours did :( i would have to cut quite a few more pins out from the swiftie sink :(

Get yourself one of these (my current chipset cooler). You can find them @ performance-pc's, I think.

I DID IT!:woot:

well now look how to mount an triple rad internally in an thermaltake armor:slobber: :

top view:
http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/7392/imgp29375ec.jpg
there is about 2 cm space between the rear fan and the power supply which should be enough for most of the radiators:
http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/2748/imgp29384jl.jpg
the rear will get a fan gurad as it isn´t looking very nice...:
http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/5312/imgp29405ce.jpg

well it´s not visible on the first pic but i did remove the whole color of the top as i made some scratches in it, but for me the blank alu looks much better than this ugly silver color:p:

if there is anything to make better tell it, i´ll fix it:)

Here are pics of my first WC rig. It worked pretty well - lowered my CPU temps around 4deg C and was able to fit it all in the case with the single BIX rad.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...06NewPC001.jpg
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...06NewPC004.jpg

I decided to upgrade to a PA120.2 and mount the rad outside the case to improve cooling. I am really happy with the performance of this set-up - 4deg lower CPU temps and much better case air-flow.
(Excuse the messy wiring, I need to pick-up some more sleeving and do some more tucking.)

Cooling Impacts (during load):
...........Air Cooling..........Single BIX..........PA120.2
CPU............54...................50............ ........46
GPU's..........68...................46............ ........42

Air cooling was with XP-90 CPU heatsink and Arctic NV5 Silencers.

wow rekless. thats a complete nest of wires. the split loom is suppose to help your cabling. try shoving some wires into the back of the case.

I agree, it is a mess. I just purchased an OCZ520 PSU to replace the Antec TPII. I plan to spend a weekend modding the new unit to minimize all of the excess wiring. Hopefully this will neaten-up my rig and help air-flow.
