Hello all. This was an attempt to do something a bit different, at least in the area of the radiator. I used a fairly small pump (mounted under the table on the bottom of the 1/2" vertical copper pipe) to feed the top of the coils and let gravity help the liquid flow down to the 2 to 1 blocks mounted on the front of the coil stands. Variable speed fans in the stands provide airflow up through the coils. System works reasonably well but I want to increase flow rate (currently the gauge reads about 1 and 1/2 psi). Hard to find truly quiet pumps that will flow large volumes of liquid. One coil is connected to the CPU waterblock and one to the GPU. System capacity is almost 4 quarts of PC ICE dielectric fluid. Best temp recorded was 41C on the CPU while running dual Prime95.

At one time I had the rad in the top but moved it to the bottom. My case is under my desk and it seemed that bottom of the case was always hot,, now that I have it in the bottom and with three blow holes in the top I have lots of flow ;) Next time I take it apart I might take some more time with the wires, but my case dosnt have windows and I was kinda moving fast on the mod because I wanted to get it done before the wife got home from work and started with all the hunny do's. :rofl:

here's my lil selfmade tower, my old thermaltake tx was just to tiny ^^.
at the moment its just a beta build cause the other cooling parts like smartcoils, gpu blocks are still missing and there's not alot time but still alot to do :shakes:
next steps should be:
- to refill my loops with black uv water
- get rid off this ugly tube bridge
- put in my 2 g8 ultra
system:
dual lianli cube
qx6850 @ d-tek fusion
asus striker xtreme @ mips watercooling
asus 1950xtx @ innovatek
2gb dominator 1250 @ mips watercooling
loop 1: black ice stealth 240 - black ice gtx360 cpu - mem - gpu - asetek waterchill xtreme
loop 2: black ice gtx360 - mb - asetek waterchill xtreme
any questions - just ask =)
Where do you get those bubble fans? :D
hm I think these should be zaward fans dunno ^^
Yeah the label looks like Zaward but it's probably just a re-badged Sharkoon Silent Eagle LED
nope, zaward ^^
Please re-read my post ;)

omg @ sargatanas 2 cube's!!! That's hardcore man! lol
here is my setup for now.... still have alot of work to do.. hiding the wires and installing a 2nd hd for raid...
also will be ordering a custom side panel that will show the 3 fans for the radiator as my current side panel only has a mesh opening near the graphics card
