Whats temps you get on the CPU ?
chensen78 you should use a little bit shorter tubing lenght. nice rig btw
mflox i cant tell but is that the color of the water or the color of the tubing, i love that color blue and i want to get my hands on some of that.Quote:

And some pictures taken at daytime. 2 loops, 2 Aquastream pumps, the blocks are selfmade. (Except the GPU-Block, this one is from Watercool.de).

BigKahuna you actually made your own blocks. i demand to see some close ups... please sir.
Uh oh, take a close look at the second last picture... THERMALTAKE COPY!!! but worse:( dude seriously, like what is with that design...
Look at the wires going to it... it looks like a TEC. The wires are on the left.
Nice, I didn't notice. However that block design is like a copy of the thermaltake design...

Beam me up, Scotty!
first of all...
great job on your blocks.
so - don't mind the naysayers... keep on building blocks. If it works - stick with it.
most of us here have no room to talk since we just buy our blocks from the aftermarket...
but - to add some constructive criticism... in terms of your hard drive blocks...
most of what I've read show that there isn't much benefit to cooling hard drives from the side...
if you could design a block that cools the drive from the bottom (including the chipsets), I think you would have far better results.
from a guy who makes his own blocks, I would think that you'd be a little more forgiving on criticizing other attempts at making homemade blocks....Quote:

i've seen your straight-channel work serialk11r - which i commend... but who's to assume that your design is superior to his? ....
Well, it has never been the aim to build a high performance CPU-block when i made this. I just wanted to get my rig quiet and cool, and thats exactly what it is now. So i decided to make a simple block, because that was much easier and faster to built. And for me it works quite well. ;) By the way: This block was made in the year 2002 an already worked in my first watercooled rig. Thermaltake wasn't even in watercooling at this time. :D
To the HDD-blocks: I can't imagine that it would be more effective to cool the drives on the bottom, as the area of contact to the block would be much smaller. The HDDs internal sensors give me constantly 3-4 K over the temperature of the water, so everything seems to work alright.

BigKahuna nice jop there and thanks for the close ups.
true they don't seem to be high performance blocks, but bloodyhell it's not that simple to make blocks if you dont have any fancy gear to do it with,
and atleast you took time and effort to make em, thats something that i respect highly. :toast:
btw my german is a bit rusty but i had to check out your project log and i've got to say that you have a really cool case mod.
Nice job! :toast:
OMG! Look at that super cutting job on the Case and Nice homemade blocks! Respect!
Just had a look at your worklog. I really wish i could such things. Even if you don't have the so much killer hardware, the computer just look so awesome!

Look I have a hacksaw, hand held drill and nothing more. If I were this guy I really would have done a few straight channels.... But apart from the CPU block the rest was a really nice job.
EDIT: *gulp* you said thermaltake wasn't around when you made it??????////!!!!!!!!!! omfg.... you should sue thermaltake for stealing your design, because their block is exactly the same as yours, but CNCed, and with a blue LED...

Incredible system Big Kahuna, I remember following the job log on Aquacomputer's forum last year. I didn't know that the CPU block was handmade. I thought you had just made the acrylic top and had used an old Cuplex! Nice plexitubes by the way. I managed to snag one for a project myself.
bigkahuna you are truly skilled and talented. nice cuts on the case for the rad. the blocks are awesome.

The MIPS are cooling all mosfets, the Heatraps just the half. But it even works without any cooling for the mosfets, so i decided to go with the part that is half of the price as MIPS costs.. Enough money for an optical gimmick tbh. :D

Which barbs do you have on that block?
Now I need to find some sort of Cape Coolplex reservoir system.
@IanY: Flow is may better with the Heattrap blocks, dunno how the mips looking inside yet. heattrap´s covers app. 3/4 of the mosfets.
I used the heattraps coz of the silver looking finish, it fits good with my other setup and 2nd, coz 90% of the users in my home forum use the mips for mosfet etc. and i don´t wanna be a lemming ya know ? ;)
i use tygon 15,9mm Barbs in my sys.
it is this hdd cooler from petra.
i cut the sides off, and painted it. It's attached with a twist tie to the middle ram slot

I want to look into a MIPS mofset block just to see the gubbings of it. Have heared they touch every mofset going.

Looks like that block fits in with the stock heatsink like a puzzle piece. I would be worried that the block isnt making good contact with the stock heatsinks, if that is how the block is made.

I did put a fan over the mem/nb heatsink, cooling is sufficient atm but watercooling the nb looks better.

Here are pics of my 1st W/Cing setup i've ever built. Had a ton of fun installing everything, and I believe the end result was worth it. This setup is just cooling the CPU, and my conroe seems to be enjoying it:) Now let me see if I can insert the pictures the right way?
23C idle! That's really good for 3,6 G. I have Tuniq Tower and I have 37-40C :(. Getting water cooling soon :).
Hmm, I don't see another way to do it... my temps are just as good now as they were when I was using a t-line...Quote:

No.
Hes pulling the water out of his res, through his Storm and then through his GPU block. His loop is operating under a vacuum of sorts, not positive pressure like it "should" be.
This WAS my first step into custom water cooling... dont laugh it worked good. Dosent everybody have a custom griffin radiator laying around??

That is not good, because the positive pressure at the discharge would probably make water flow much more than the "low pressure zone" created by the suction and letting the "normal" pressured water fill it up. Thats why a vacuum cleaner has a super powerful fan but the suction is way weaker than the power of air blowing out.Quote:
