the Rad's sit flush with the surface on the steel box & sealing will be easy with silicone
the air flow after the cooler will be directed at the chimney base as it has a area that will vent the warm air produced by the cooler to the atticQuote:

the underfloor cooler is done just have to do the assy & seal work all but a 1/2 hour of work on the steel box cooler
, next up on the build is the External reseviors & pumps housing ,looking at constructing a (10" X 12" or what ever size i need for all the items ) black lexan box build (AL channels & angles will be the skeleton) to sit next to the PC , to mach the monolith black tower case i'm gonna use for the PC .I wanted the outside box soo i can easly sound pruff the pumps & have the pumps & psu's for them on a single switchable power
The box will house the 2 Iwaki rd30's, 2 power supplies for the pumps & the 2 EK Res400's
the EK res400's will rise from the inside back side of the box to reach the highest point on both loops to make bleeding & fillin' possiable
both res's lighted up with LED's with blue lites on a loop & red lites on the other loop
ordered the sound dampning from CyberDriud yesterday
got vibration dampners for the pumps . gonna dbb up this part as the Iwaki's will be mounted on a steel plate with dampners on the pump feet & the steel plate will mount in the box on another set of dampners
the box will also house the KazeMaster for in/out temps monitoring that will go on the front with all the switches / idiot lites
it will also have idiot lite for the blower with a single switch that turns everything on at once & then supplies A/c pwr to the PC that way the blower/pumps will be up & running when i hit the start button on the PC
comments & suggestions ARE VERY welcome
sealed up the rads with silicone came out clean looking & was the simple way to seal the air tight
not like anyone is gonna crawl under the house to look at this part of the build
Note the end piece with rads is removeable in case i need future maint . on the thing OR to swap out for them new Rad's that Fessor's has that just hit the market !
here's the airfilters for DA beast ! $8 a pop ! & best of all no duct work involoved OR needed just RTV'ed them to some thin plywood ends & will screw them down with a weather stripping seal right to the blower openin's
& they are no wider than the steel box with both in place on the blower
with the deep filters i'll get Great air flow in & keep the dust & bugs out !
now on to the Baffle Mo pix coming ,let me get back to work ......
Too Sweet! Great work, I am definitely enjoying this thread......:up:
Keep up the Great work.......:clap:
hmmm why not one hole for one rad and after that second"room" for other rad? I think that will be more presure that 2 holes
btw nice project ;)
on the wood mock up box .. I was getting more flow on 1 rad than i was getting on the 2nd rad ..Quote:

... by making the box Thinner / Longer & the rads right next to each other & with a baffle to "break-up" that area of high pressure . I found i could get an even air flow thru both rads
the silicone will hold those Rads in place thus you can remove the metal straps if you want to.

Airflow any less with those filters?Quote:

Excellent work. cant wait to see what sort of temps you end up getting thru this!
Very nice, I really enjoy this type of build log...great job!!
woot looking even better can't wait till shes done...
Want to do something like this so I can watercool my cascade. When I own a house this will be an inspiration for me :up:
see this type of thing works for you guys in warm weather.Quote:

otherwise i would have some kick ass chilled liquid cooling :)
my plans for when i get a house is to drill a small hole in the wall just the right size to fit 2 pieces of tubing through, then i will have my pump, radiators, and fans on the other side of the wall.
then i could blast the fans as loud as i want for super cooling and still have silence in the other room.
something a tad easier to buildQuote:

I forgot to mention that Rad has the surface area of 4--Feser quad 480
woot this is a super excellent project grats on all of your success so far :)
Thanks for all the great posting and pics, I know it takes a lot of time. THis is great work, carry on!
One thing I may add is that waterpumps always push water up more efficiently than they can pull water up. If you have a well, you put the pump at the bottom of the well if it is >15' deep. (FWIW at about 30' you physically can not suck water because that much vaccuum will cause it to boil at room temperature).
Q?-> did going from your wood box to the metal box make it noisier?

NO CHANGE at all .... all get is a slight hum from the fan motor
Ahaha! this is awesome. Though I do wonder just how big the squirrel is that had this in it's cage, And whether or not it made it into a flying squirrel.
Just one thing- No K&N Filters? :p:

well the cooler is done but for the TESTING ! in real time on a PC
I have to do assy under the floor as it's larger assembled than not & my access to the crawl space just fits the steel box & not the whole unit
SOO the Next thing up was yesterday I buildt was W/C'd high end test bed
I need to test the whole thing outside the case soo i can build the pump/res box
>> Plus test the Rampage Formula/QX9770 out before ripping the stock cooling off to make sure that both are not DOA on me
i had got a HSPC tec bed but really was not happy about how small it was & was pissed I had ordered a MoBo on the bottom bed
anyway the bed will hold on a GTX360/EK150 res/ddc pump with a petra top all the time soo i can test MoBo's/do builds
i will be hooking up the dual Iwaki's & the dual EK 400's on the bottom deck for the Crawler coolerr test on this bed & do most of the tubing runs
here's the PIX of the test bed (up load failed on the pix seems the server is down )
DDC pump / resevoir & rad 360 will be Hard installed today I'll post pix on that when i'm done
forgot to say I ghetto modded the HSPC bed it now has 3 floors / MoBo tray now on top and a large base soo i can add /substract pumps & the like at my whim the server is still down will post PIX when they will upload !
doing a rad tower that will hold a res/pump also this will be on the bed for good
going with a tower soo the res is the hightest point & the rad outlet is up in the vertical position to make for Quick bleeds
Wow, sounds like you've done a ton of work!! This is looking REALLY good. can't wait to see it in action!! :up:
BTW, i can't PM you for some reason, i go to click on my pm box but it says "Data Base Server Error"...
It's been doing that all morning, so hopefully they'll be able to fix it soon... maybe we can talk in AIM instead?
If you can, grab some cotton air filters and bail on the paper air filters?
I'd also request a high res you tube video or some other hosting....
Awesome work!
Ok, got an email from you bigslappy, we'll talk through that.
here the pix
the pumps will go on sta & then test water blocks then MoBo / Cpu
went with wood on the bottom deck that way i can move & remove pumps /rads / fans / valves at my whim & just bolt then down >> if i get alot of holes left over after awhile i can plug with dowels 1x 3" risers make room for pwr cords & the like .. more work this weekend ....
MO Pix
assy
Mo'
bleed out !
Quoc from PETRA's came thru with that male to male fitting ,
that made the res /pump placement possiable
Tricky get all that lined up right
>>>>>>>>but Hell it works great !!!
Very Easy bleed !!
bleeding on an hour now none left ...... most of the bubbles worked out in ten minutes
gonna let this run all day to look fer leaks
Tomorrow MoBo goes on for testing the works for DOA's
then it's rip the stock cooler off the MoBo & EK & V2 loads on the MoBo more testing / leak checkin'
after that the Iwaki's & the Crawl spacer cooler gets connected to the test bed
at that point I'll have the Temps !!
nice looking project.hope it turns out well!
testing on the Tec station i modded revels the MoBo is bad = the #1 PCI slot is shorted .. all day trouble shooting this .. #2 PCI slot works fine but am still gonna RMA the board back to Asus '
used #2 slot & got to load all the drivers & set up my Raid 0 with the dual WD 640's loaded the O/S The QX9770 is FAST == water cooled the thing on the test bed .
I can't wait on the RMA SOO i'm Just gonna order another R/F board & then keep the RMA when it finally gets back to me it's then another build agin But i love doing them I learn something new each time.
Great quality on thos ASUS boards :rolleyes:
Looking forward to seeing it run :up: Best thing about it is the buffer for summer you have got there. My crawlspace is always nice and cool :) Wanted to put the PC there but too many spiders :down: I hate spiders since Arachnophobia... Damn you Frank Marshall :shakes:
Work faster I can't wait :D
i'm working as fast as i can But I gotta work overtime just to get the new board but thing will roll fast now ! i got all the parts & NewEgg will get me a new MoBo by wedsday the RMA will take forever as i'm over the Newegg return 30day on the 1st board but i'm gonna get another .. after all Cash i've dumped on the build what's another $275 and still get another board to build onQuote:

You know not that I am saying it ethical but if the boards are exactly the same and your getting a new one what would tell them as to which board was purchased when for the rma I am sure NewEgg's return would be faster than Asus just thinking out loud :shrug: And I am sure NewEgg would get faster service out of Asus than you would :rofl:
Big Set Back on this build the Wife broke her leg in 4 places Soo i'm Nurse Radchett for awhile .. Had a R/F mobo went bad /D O A ordered a new while i waited for the RMA ....
NOW I got 2 .......
got Q9450 for it it's on the test bed now @ 3.35 GHz Soo far & i'm working up the water blocks on the Other R/F Mobo with the QX9770 had it up to 4GHz on the test bed
more pix on the way !
Simply amazing! Can't wait to see the Everest UE temp readings. LOL
puttin' this beast together FINALLY this weekend , built up a tec/test bed for it

Gotta love innovation. We have sure come a long way in 2 years.
Maximus, since you're quite new here you probably didn't know this, but it's common practice not to bring back old/dead threads, especially not on threads that are 2 years old and have already been necro'd :D.Quote:
