lol...... nah seriously my ram died and i can't use my computer until i get it back approx 2 weeks.....So 2 weeks is plenty of time to do the stuff i wanted to do first time around but didn't get around 2....Quote:
*cough* bull *cough*
you just needed another reason to take your system appart, right?
have fun!
And for the record my ram dying wasn't necessarily a bad thing haha
I don't have the accelerator nozzles yet but i heard there coming out within the next 2 weeks...waiting on them before i put my cpu loop back together....yes there for the fuzion.Quote:
Where you got the accelerator nozzles? It's for the FuZion right ?
i will be getting mine from radiical.com.au
Where to put a third pump is the issue for me and a third loop.
Like you, there's room for a single rad and with the summer we're expecting and EK about to release a 680i MOSFET block, it's very tempting.
im putting my third pump in my drive bays.... under my reservoirs...
I had my hard drives there...but i'm going to put them above my psu..cut the hd cages that came with the case drill a few holes and mount them there.
Yeah if ek bring's out that mofset block out soon...i'll put it in the third loop..Did ya get those sketches to him>??
I'll be using ek block's on the nb,sb and vrm's(when come out)
cheers
update:
Measured and prepped side panels for cutting...(only 1 panel shown)
http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/4796/nupc054rl5.jpg
Painted and cut 1 piece of modder's mesh for side panel (waiting on gam for second piece,eta 1 week)
http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/3550/nupc055lt0.jpg
also cut and painted some ac ryan mesh to cover drive bays...
http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/8356/nupc053ge4.jpg
thats all for now...
next will be....
cutting lian li side panels
sanding and polishing mid section to a mirror finish
Add ac ryan mesh to drives bays
purchasing nb sb mofset blocks for my third loop
More updates soon
cheers
hey fellaz which ek block's will fit the nb and sb of the evga 680i mobo? And what store can i get them both...
I think the ek nb evga 680i will fit on the nb(due to the name) but no idea with the sb...
Anyone with ek blocks on the nb and sb can you please post a pic of link me to one
cheers
EK680i and EK Nf4 rev1.1
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...Moboblocks.png
The V1000 drive cages go well hanging above the V2000 psu.
jedda where can i get both those blocks?? ek directly???
cheers mate
Yeah, I got them direct from EK
Shipping was reasonable. Not sure if he still doesn't do paypal but bank transfer worked OK for payment.
PerfPC has the delrin versions in stock so you could get them that way if you didn't want acrylic. I prefer the delrin.
yeah i want the same one's you used....Quote:

Which place with ship faster i want to complete my loop before the 13th oct if possible....
didn't you say perfpc takes 2 weeks or so??
cheers
PerfPC fastest was 6 days to me (outside capital city) and slowest has been 8 days.
EK fastest was 7 days and slowest is hard to say as one went missing and there was a small delay before I asked eddie to ship a replacement. Must say he was very ready to take my word it hadn't arrived and dispatch another.
$Aus is doing much better against the greenback than euro. So I just looked to work it out nd PPC is out of the delrin S/B block Nf4 1.1. Then I looked at EK and the delrin 680i is out of stock there too.
High demand it seems.
Edit- Just been through my list of WC suppliers and although I found Nf4 in stock at Chilled PC in the UK, I can't find a delrin 680i block in stock anywhere.
damn.....i might have to source each block from different places.....680i block from ppc and nf4 from chilled pc will be more xpensive this way :(Quote:

Yeah,
PPC would be $65Au for the 680i with shipping inc.
Just looked to work out the other and it's now listed as sold out. Must've just gone. bummer.
bummer alright....
Should i order that block from ppc?
Or just order everything from ek directly? and wait until he has them all ready...680i nb,nf4 and mofset....might be awhile though oh well i guess i can wait....Less hassle imo...
thanks mate...
fam
i'd probably wait it out with one store and save on shipping fees,
(correct my if i'am wrong though),(but i think you guys and take the plunge and buy them seperately with seperate shipping fees, hehehe)
yeah i probably wait until ek has all blocks ready to ship...Quote:

That's pretty much everything i need to complete my build now i got to wait for my stuff to arrive...
All the stuff i ordered from Aussie store should arrive in the next few days...
The stuff ordered from Petra's i suspect about a fortnight,
And the stuff from ek maybe 3 weeks.. or so (Will not ship until the 12th)
:up: :up: :up:
Was it cheaper to ship from USA then?
The stuff i ordered from petra's was about $20 shippingQuote:
Was it cheaper to ship from USA then?
and the block's i order from ek shipping is around $20 also
so about the same....
It would of been cheaper to purchase all my gear from Petra's (better exchange rate) but no stock of the blocks i wanted.
every time i look @ that mobo with the blocks on i thing the fuzion is upsidedown lol
Where are you using the metal polish?
that will be fixed when i put the loop back togetherQuote:

They usually have packs or single sheets but it depends on the store. Some things their stock can be patchy. Like rubber grometts. They have a rack with every possible size but half are missing. lolQuote:

after seeing RX7boricua's rig...sik stuff!
I decided to change my loop colour's a lil bit.....
I wont be using any green...Taking all my green fans out and doing 2 blue loops and 1 purple loop in between them to break up the colour's
any comment's???
or should i stick to my original plan of blue,green,purple?
cheers
kk i went to supercheap auto and got sandpaper and mother's aluminum polish..i'll start polishing later on after dinner...
cheers
Sweet, polishing away watching Bathurst sounds like a good sunday.
Have my build in front of the box. So it's pump mounting, a cold one and watching Frosty Winterbottom push the ford over the mountain for me.
Sound's good hey....Quote:

I actually got bored and sanded the middle section....just then
i sanded my my middle divider in my lian li v2000 started @ 800 move up to 1200,1500 then 2000...
Took me a good 2hours of work....sanding done moving onto polishing....
It's still far from mirror finish....
I hope i did it correctly...I made sure there was plenty of clean water...added dishwashing liquid and Stayed on each grit for about 25mins....
Moving on to the polishing...after i eat..Running on empty atm...
Will post a pic when i done.....
Seeing how your probably the only person who post's in my thread regularly
What did you think of my idea...Of 2 blue loops and the 1 purple apposed to green,blue and purple...
I know you your not into the light show thing but a second opinion would be great.
cheers
I think the blue as your overall colour with the purple showing through here and there is a better colour scheme than three colours. It's hard to get even one colour balanced so you don't have one area really bright and another in shade. Trying to sort multiple colours seems too difficult to me.
Maybe loops with varied colours works without coloured uv fans, but if you have blue uv fans then a blue loop fits and a purple one to provide a hi-light makes sense to me.
Blue uv fans and three diff coloured loops is too luna park.
But understand I'm an old guy, conservative approach etc.
ok i'm back after polishing for a an hour straight,I'm starting to see result's...I'm a little disappointed as it doesn't look no were as near as good as dark prodigy's job...
I continue polishing tomorrow...Maybe a couple more hour's of polishing will give me a better result...
Does anyone know how long it will take to get a mirror finish? I don't want to polish for another 5 hours and have no benefits from it..
cheers
Bloody hard yakka, isn't it
I've pretty much decided to cheat and use the acid strip method if I do any again.
Only prob is the guy selling Magic Mix in Oz sells a kit designed for truckers. Been half planning to share the stuff with someone if I ever get it.
me? lol
It's getting there slowly...Bloody hard yakka alright....

cheers
The sulphuric and hydrachlorich acid does all the hard work of stripping the oxcidised surface off, instead of sanding. Then the polish drys on and seals the surface from air. So when you polish off the dry grey powder it leaves a sealed mirror surface.
The truckers use it to get a mirror surface on rough al bull bars!:shocked:
Sure, it's cheating but life is too short.
did another hour of polishing...
Getting a lil better...I was told to get some of mother's billet polish it supposedly performs better than the mother's alu polish...
I'll see if supercheap auto has it...
Keep going ... you're making progress!
(I love the talk about Bunnings and other Oz landmarks ... we really miss Australia after having lived there for 3 years. I think I was at Bunnings every weekend with my husband, picking up this or that. I do feel for you guys ... as progressive as Australia is, it always surprised me that electronics and computer stuff was hard to come by.)

where about's in Aus did you live?
oops ... not to divert the thread - but we lived in Sydney. Had an apartment in the Rocks overlooking the Harbour for the first year, then moved to a house on the Middle Harbour area for the next couple of years. A fantastic experience. Got to travel all over the country with my job.
I couldn't find any mother's billet polish today so i ordered some online...
Should get soon.... I polished on and off allday doesn't look like it's getting better...
Hopefully the billet polish works better..
Request:
hmm how about documenting with pictures said polishing and more polishing, i think i have i strain from reading "polishing" too much with out actually seeing the improvements.
Sounds like nothing to show but perspiration until Mother's Billet arrives.
We could talk to Shazza about sydney harbour while we wait. lol Tis the only thing I really miss about sydney.
Ferry rides and skiff racing on the harbour amongst my fave memories. Although not at the same time. We capsized near Shark Island one afternoon and thought the Manly Ferry was going to go over us.
I'll take a pic 2morow for ya....mateQuote:

I'm still a fair way off from finishing waiting on an order from petra's and a order from ek i'm guessing 2 weeks until arrive...
In the time being i still i have to cut the mobo tray for cable management and finish cutting my side panels for the modder's mesh
cheers
all comments and suggestions are welcome

See what you mean about the polishing. That molex and wires reflection is pretty good but just that bit of cloudy tinge over it.
That last shot of the rads really fooled your camera's auto settings. lol
You should have your Petra's things pretty quick but the other may drag on a bit. I hate the waiting.
It's funny comparing them. I find Petra's arrive in the time it takes PerfPC to dispatch. lol
Looks very impressive. Me likey :)
Yeah that's why i wasn't 100% happy with the polishing job...see how the billet polish work's when it arrive's i may need to sand again if still cloudy...Quote:

The blue sleeving you've used on those ugly multi-colour multi-strand stuff Lian Li use off the front fittings will continue to unravel it's weave unless you heat shrink that end. Jaycar have blue in a size that will slip over the end fittings in blue or black.
wow! looking good

Question guy's
I don't know if i cbf (excuse the language) sanding again....
I have a few option's i could try...
1# add more ac ryan mesh to mid section....
2# buy some black acrylic to add to the mid section...
3# buy a mirror for the mid section....
4# sand and polish again and hope for the best...
What do you guys rekon????
If you decide on the acrylic let me know because I have a fair bit left over and I could hook you up.Quote:

Problem with getting it perfect is keeping dust free for ever. You're not modding for a show but for your personal box and it makes sense to keep things practical.

when i put my finger next to metal it's pretty good but the further away is what i'm whining about...
I'll give it a couple more run's of polish and see how it goes...
Hey....
I can't decide which fan's i should use yate loon's with black fan grill's on antec blue led fans with black fan grill's what you guy's rekon??? (looks wise)

Looking good.
I do have a couple of petras' tops for the DDC2 if you are interested. The pumps they belong to are dead :(.
you have pm :)
Amazing. Can't wait for more updates.
Wow this is truly beautiful work you have going here.
I did the same as you, putting Swiftech mini-heatsinks on the mosfet blocks... (do you think they're fine?) I've heard on the 680i they get hotter than p35 though so you probably are doing the right thing getting those EK's.
Keep it coming! Love the way those 2 3x rads fit in there.

Yeah the 680i mofset's and chipset's get really hot...to hot to even touch sometimes.....
Sorry about the lack of updates lately....Still waiting on my ek shipment from eddie... hoping to receive this week....then the real fun begins.....
I also ordered a ek fc 8800 gtx block from a member on xsforums which seem's to be lost in the mail.... :( hopefully he will sort that out soon....
I haven't done too much to my rig... (lately i did polish the middle a few more time's and it's getting better (will post a pic to show you how it is)
I also ordered 6 scythe's kaze ultras 2000rpm 87cfm 32dba also should receive soon.... hopefully they are as good as the spec's suggest but from what I've read on XS scythe are a very reliable brand :)
I can't wait to get my rig finished... crysis,orange box,call of duty and ut3 so many good game's coming out.....I defo want to get my rig finished before they all come out.....
Anyways cheers for the all comments guy's
will post back soon!!! :up:
Heh, G/L & H/F. I hear Crisis will be top notch. We'll see... That is some serious cooling with 2 trip rad's man. Why not fan's on every available spot if you're going to go that far?
lol.... i was just asking what fan's to use black fan's with black grills on blue led fans with black grills just to give you guys a comparison....Quote:

Very happy with the new MOSFET block. I checked it's fit today and it's great.
Was a bit concerned how tight the space was but eddy has got the dimensions exactly right.
Looks great too, eh?
Yeah it's awesome...fit's exactly i put it on... the contact is good... does warp my mobo a fair bit tho... so the contact in the middle isn't as good as the outer chips...Quote:

cheers
I have M4 nuts in a bag in front of me.
On monday I will see if there's M3 nuts where they came from and get them to you if I get them.
Alternatively, Eddy will always send off a replacement for any missing part. I had the springs missing from my Nf4 block and he sent them out. It'll be a lot faster to find some here, though.
Haven't fitted my MOSFET block yet. Just checked it fits. Got to solve the back-plate issue first. Progress is being made.:D
Edit
Thinking about it. You could get away without the nuts on the 680i block. Mine do little other than hold the screws up until the block is on and the big brass ones take the job over.
how about the ek nf4 rev 1.1 ??? yeah???
I'll give it a trial fit.. to see how well it sits
cheers mate
ok mounted the nf4 block without the m3 nut's seem's ok.... contact is good...
Having alot of trouble with the ek 680i nb block... i can't screw down the block... because the top brass nut's don't fit..(i probably could if i had the m3 nut's that were supposed to come with the block) eddie sent out two different sizes... i do not know why...
also missing some fabric washer's??? are they even needed if i don't use the m3 nut's to secure the bolts to the mobo ???
any who i think i'm going to email eddie @ ek to see if i can get some new mounting gear (ff#@#@%@#$ ) going to have to wait another 8 day's for that :(
any idea's jedda or anyone?
cheers
You should have screw head, washer, mobo, washer, nut, block and brass nut.
If you leave out the M3 nut you don't need one set of washers. That's the ones on top of the board. You will need a set between screw head and mobo though.
Didn't you get any?
I have some plastic washers small enough, I got at Jaycar. There's heaps in a pack. If I find the nuts on monday it's no big deal to toss a few in. Have a few extra neoprene shims to spare too. I used one on both MCP and SPP to help keep the block level on those little chips.
What was included?
Jaycar have 3mm steel nuts on their site, cat number HP0425. Nylon 3mm washers cat number HP0148.
Either my guy or Jaycar would get them to you in a few days. Eddy will be as long as the blocks took.
yeah i have the nf4 like this screw-metal washer-fabric washer-mobo-block-spring-brass nut... the nf4 sit's ok...Quote:

My block's came with two different top nut 2 brass with nf4 and 4 aluminum one's with 680i but they don't even fit on the screw's!!!!
cheers mate
My Nf4 is round brass nut, fiber washer, mobo, spring, block, with the screw reaching down from the top.
Like this, except the bottom nut is a big round brass sucker.So no metal washer behind the mobo. Just fiber washer and knurled brass nut.
