Cheers Dexther, appreciate your comment - it did go through many changes......not least painting it so it looked just like the standard black one :rolleyes:

Oh yeah sephiroth8748 - its the same thing used on car windows.

Basically you can't see in unless lights are on. I don't have any of the Stacker but this is before and after on a Wavemaster which uses the same stuff

I love that. How did you mount your rad with the fan ontop first? Is that a lian-li pc75, if so how loud are the fans?

Thanks, I ran a 1 & 1/4" 6-32 machine bolt through the fan grill, a rubber washer, the fan body, into the radiator. I tapped the rad to 6-32 prior to assembly of course. The case is a Lian Li PC-7077B. The fans are Yate Loons controlled by a Sunbeam rheobus, usually at 7v. All you can hear is the air moving, the fans themselves make virtually no noise.

wuts the best way to install coolsleeves? i just got my 1/2 tygon tubing and some coolsleeve 6xx and these are a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: to get on, would wetting the tube help?

Can you get those at home depot or lowes? By the way where did you get that grill from?
02-22-2007, 02:03 PM

Yes, you should be able to find them at any hardware store. I got the fan grill here:

Hey AuroraProject. I've been looking on-line for those bolts of yours and I can't find any. I'll check my local hardware stores when I have time but for now could you post pics of those bolts. Also What did you mean by "I tapped the rad to 6-32 prior to assembly and did you have to buy the rubber washers seperate?

These are socket cap allen screws:

http://www.pbase.com/digifan/image/74843653.jpg

and these are button cap allen screws:

http://www.pbase.com/digifan/image/74843656.jpg

Go to http://www.mcmaster.com/ and search through their listings, I know they carry them. I bought some 1.5" but they turned out to be too long, so get 1.25". The radiator came with self tapping sheet metal screws, but that wasn't going to work for me, so using a tap I cut 6-32 threads in the radiator mounting holes. The rubber washers were bought from performance pc's, but I think you could get them from McMasters for a lot less.

Here's some at McMasters: (these are Torx head though)

The first one there, capacity 0-1/4". I have an adjustable t-handle tap wrench, covers lots of sizes.

Edit: I guess I have a straight handle, just like the one you have highlighted.

Ok, so you'll need 4 of those for each fan. 6-32 is the size and thread pitch. You'll need a 6-32 tap and a tap handle to cut threads in the radiator. If you want to use a Radgrill you'll also need 4 8-32 bolts around 1/4"-1/2" long and some 8-32 nuts to secure the grill to the case.

Be very careful tapping the radiator, if the tap hits the fins or cooling passages you may end up with a leak. Take it slow and watch the tap closely.

Can anyone help me find those rubber decoupling mounts that you use to mount a 3.5" in a 5.25" bay? I need them to mount my 120.3, but unfortunately, I can't find them ANYWHERE. I've tried mcmaster, but they're probably listed under a different name. These are what I need. Just need the rubber threaded mounts and not that whole bizarre X-Swing. :p:

I'm getting 51* idle in 28* ambient, am I doing something wrong???

I've done cable management but haven't got a pic yet. I grab one this arvo

perfection, what block are you using on the CPU, and what rads are you using? Also check for any kinks. Maybe your CPU block just needs remounted.

Be very careful tapping the radiator, if the tap hits the fins or cooling passages you may end up with a leak. Take it slow and watch the tap closely.

Basiclly I'll be buying 8 8-32 1/4"-1/2" bolts for 2 fans and 4 8-32 nuts to secure the grill to the case? (using swiftech mcr220)

No, you'll need eight 6-32 bolts 1.25" long for the fans, and 4 four 8-32 .5-.75" long bolts and four 8-32 nuts to secure the grill to the case.

8-32 wont fit into the rad, and probably wont fit through a fan either.

bottom line is YES.

I would suggest the cpu block is mounted very loose or uneven. Have you used the chip with air cooling? If so what temps are you getting?

What temp monitor are you using? If its speedfan you might as well use your clock to tell you the temperature, get intel TAT.

If you are using intel TAT you have big problems, stock cooling doesn't idle anywhere near 50c.

I idle at about 32ish in a fairly warm house, I would suggest I have something like 25 ambient thats with the cpu in its own loop but only on a 120.1 with a 2 fans on push/pull at 5v each.
02-27-2007, 03:28 PM
thunderstruck!

Aside from that, there is a kink under the gpu outlet. Also, keep in mind, if you are pulling air from inside the case, your limiting the efficiency of the rad. It sounds like a very hot environment.

Thanks! It is the TDX and the orientation makes no difference in temps, I've had it mounted both ways and saw zero difference.

I've also recently replaced it with a D-Tek Fuzion.

no kinks.

loop details are in the order:

Laing DDC with Petra's top > BIX2 > Storm G4 > BIX > EK 8800GTX > Swiftech MCRES Reservoir > Laing DDC again

And you might want to re read that post carefully.

He asking if the outside port can be used in the top or bottom position, not whether or not the center port is used for the inlet, and DD Jerm (one of the owners at DD) replys and I quote

"Nope...doesn't matter as the Inlet port is designed to center over the core regarless of mounting orientation. Do what works best with your tube routing".

I'm really surprised you didn't see a difference on temps under load. Blocks not designed to work any other way. Pretty much like the FuZion is desigend to work with the center port as inlet, although different in function as the FuZion isn't a Impengment type block.

Again, no harm intended, just thought I mention it.

andyc

Oh, now I see what you're saying! No I have the loop setup as such:

Pump > Rad > TDX > Chipset > T-line > Pump

Sorry, I misunderstood your other post. I thought you meant it couldn't be mounted sideways like I have it. It is using the center port for the inlet.

No harm taken. :)

Neat anniversary case. Looks a bit cramped in there. Wish they made it bigger.

G thats nice, defo do some cable managment mind to really show it off. Nice short loop on the hose there. Only nig is the rad sticking up so much. Could it not be lowered or a rad box for it on the base?
03-01-2007, 02:59 PM
_G_

thought about a rad box type mount but didn't want to drill holes in the case.
I made a 60mm offset bracket to line up the barbs with the fan hole, everything fits thru the hole without breaking the system.

I like it the way it is, but keeping the turbo shape to the case would be a must in my book if I had it. I'd put the rad in the front just for looks!

when it was air cooled it had a turbine fan hanging off the fan hole. (profile looked like a double turbo lol)

I used this Syringe thru the bleed port. (if you leave the rubber washer there it makes a good seal with the tip of the syringe)

Nice case... Im just afraid that the rad grill is restricting airflow/creating noise due to turbulence in the air.

I like the theme though... yellow and black.
