I've had this setup running for a few weeks now, decided it was finally time to get some pics of it up.
The radiator, a Koyo/Adrad Ford Falcon AU Copper rad, fin area measuring 67cmx45cmx32mm.

The enclosure for the entire setup, which sits outside on a balcony. Amazing what $15 of pine and ply can get you.

Shots of the pump and an old heater, serving as a fan. Pump is a Nightingale TCP130, Qmax 90L/min, Hmax 23m. From memory it's around 1/2HP; My pump is bigger than your pump! :D

The air bleed tube:

A few minutes drilling yielded a couple of 1/2" holes, into which were inserted a pair of copper pipes, over which the tubes were forced. The smaller hole is for the line to the power board, which feeds the pump and fan.

The tubes emerging from the other side of the wall. I am yet to clean this end up.

The tubes final destination: A Swiftech Storm Rev2 on an E6600.

^^ how is that NB fan spinning with the rubberband :ROTF: ??? wtf
you should invest in some zip ties man :yepp:
I'd say the rubberband doesn't touch the inner fan... only the frame.
rubber bands disintegrate under heat
btw, what are you temps??
Aye.Quote:

I run the E6600 @ 3.6 on 1.45v.
you do all this work just to cool your cpu? why not also the gpu and nb/sbQuote:

Danger Den included industrial Velcro with the d5, so considering that it's lightweight and the tubing would naturally be pushing up on it I decided to just use the Velcro. Very simple and very effective.
omg, This is one of the most chanceless things I've ever seen in my whole entire life. I once cooled an x850xt(pe) amd 3000+ venice@2.7 and a northbridge on a a8n-sli premium with just one 120.1 black ice pro. And my temps were around 40C. And then you see one ubernerd who thinks all this work will make such a difference instead of buying a 120.2 :S ON A SINGLE 6600? I swear the E6600 @ 3.6 on 1.45v will run great on a 120.2. That's the same thing as flowrate BLEGH! i hate those theories, and I know higher flow can decrease your temps but it makes a 3C difference or maybe less?
Now I'm going to take a smoke...
Did he "stick" that pump with neo_prene pad with adhesive to top side of the case?????
Grimreaperguy, i really appreciate all the hard work, but im going to have to agree with dnb#. All that work,time,effort,and money you spend while you couldve just bought a waterchiller...
w00ps, my sig is HUGE. imma edit that.
My friend did that with his NB47J when his NF4 chip was reaching 80C, it worked just fine.Quote:

Hey there!
My first post - been browsing the forums for a bit and finally registered!
Here's another Antec 900 as every1 else says...its cramped...also, I wanted to mount everything internally so opted for a Tt rad...bad choice.
I have a Lian-Li V1200 with a PA120.2 on the way soon (I hope!) so watch out for my new one ;)
Only the CPU atm, but hope to extend it to the N/S Bridges and GPU and RAM (eventually - with 2 loops!)
PICS!:

With flash - I cut 2 messy holes to wire behind the mobo.

Funkflix, that's alot of spare space in you case; why not bring the radiators inside? I really like that black tubing. :up:Quote:

WOW - & i thought ladies underwear was the only thing best in black :DQuote:
