Great idea putting the radiator up top! I never thought about that.
so much time passed
but i am still here :)
no major updates but finally i've decided one of the most dificult task about cable management, 24-pin and 8-pin at first
meanwhile i've tested ati 3870x2 and found it is not compatible with my dfi x38!
so i changed it for 8800gts-512
but i dont like 8800gts card too much, i missed for 3870x2, eh

Hi
Rioja
Great ideaa about the rad in the top:up:
have now done the same and provides much more space:D
than the rad vertical in the front
good idea about the cables aswell
are you using the ddc 18w ultra pumps
how have you found the best way to stop the vibration /noise to a minium
cheers
beast200
no, pumps are 10w, don't know about their noise and vibration coz didn't turn them on yet.
but i'm leaning to mount them vertically as in pictures before, either directly to the case or through rubber zalman legs.
for now i stuck with cable sleeving and finding best way to place them, have to do it quick, before my vacation after tomorrow :cool:
jioja why don't you mod the pups to 18Watt ?

Vatos, thanks for the link, maybe i'll do the same later.
But I believe that 10W has less heat, noise, vibrance and more reliable, and hope it'll be enough. I used Martin's flow estimator, and it seems 10W will give quite a good flow.
Main loop I plan is: DDC1-T -> PA120.3 -> D-Tek Fuzion -> Some video fullcover -> EK res
Secondary loop is: DDC1-T -> PA120.2 -> MCW30 -> EK NB Asus 1 -> MIPS PWM -> MIPS RAM -> EK res
Hi
Thanks for info
i have actual down grade my DDc ultra to 10w from 18w
temps have gone down by 2 c
cheers
beast
very nice red and gold and black combo.
And alittle more pics before my time-out.
I made several extension cables and adapter cables, to control several fans as one. Here are cables 3->1 for triple rad, and two 2->1 for dual rad and for case front and back fans.
http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/7079/img2470ca0.jpg
There are 7 fans Coolermaster PL12S12L-4 with red leds in the case, and one more for spare, not sleeved..
http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/6623/img2480zn1.jpg
Now plug rads and case fans to DFI connectors. Radiator fans will be connected to rheobus latter, becoz DFI is very very weak board regerding monitoring and controls. ACtually I very disapointed with this lack of functionality.

As for cable mangement. i'm very happy how smart stacker case is.
Becoz of niches in top area, where psu and rad are, and niches on the sides od drive bays, it is easily posssible to get simple clean rig. Case is very good :up:
System is up and running, all stuff connected, except hdd, dvd, uv lamps and wc components.

Btw it was good idea to make airduct in front top cover, i can feel air flow, going out of the front mesh.

Thats all :wave:

Slick man, real nice
Great job with the cable management. :)
You should sleeve the 8 pin extension cable though.

is that a bong ? or a lamp?
old bong, need to be soldered
ok, i'm on finish line almost, loop one is up and running, gonna post pics soon
stay tuned
it's rather a hookah, but with a bong functionality :D
I'd would never use a hookah as a bong... At least my opening is waaay to big to seal airtight.
allright, more pics are coming

res-s have a thermosensor
http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/307/060k.jpg
unfortunately, one of the res has defect on top cover
so it passes the air
i've tried to fill these holes with a silicon, hope this will help

fortunately i had some stuff

and it all turned out as silent work with properly airflow :up:

dimms came with heatsink not installed as special order
coz i have mips ram freezer to watercool them
http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/9908/203dvi.jpg
stock speed is 1200mhz
http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/9411/204.jpg
but here i am in doubt what to use, so i decided to install stock heatsink and see how it will warm
and i may switch to watercool dimm later
http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/7545/215l.jpg
oh no, i have ordered wrong additive, it is not uv
http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/8104/217cnw.jpg
but in 50:50 proportion (with 5:95 default) is is quite bright in daylight ;)

air thermosensors from kaze master panel
so i have full control over temp, 4 temps are measured - loop 1, loop 2, case inside, ambient
http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/4896/284g.jpg
this thing installed wrong
http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/8079/333a.jpg
board's system (pwm) temp is higher than with stock heatsink now
http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/720...pimage2ju1.png
someone from other forum gave me a key why
i left stock washers which has big height
so contact between block and mosfets is bad
so i'm going to reassemble system
also my plan is to install fullcover video block in second loop
and make water with uv adds, and install the light
and project will be finished for awhile
funny, tomorrow will be one year since it was started :)
Wow, I really like your pump mounts; where did you get them?
very nice work so far!
in which block you used for the mosfet? i got EK's one..
and why you put your graphic card on the second slot?
headala
those blue things u mean? they are from cooler master hdd box, it came with case but u may buy it separatly
http://www.coolermaster.com/products...ate=65&id=2542
btw it is so un-practical that ddc has only 2 mountings, with their vibrance
so i made 4 points of rest, 2 points in case itself thru big holes
http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/3334/166e.jpg
and other 2 thru pump's mountings
arkadur
all my hardware was ordered one year ago :) at those time only single option for pwm cooling was mips pwm freezer
on other hand this block compatible with all dfi lt\ut boards from p35 to x58
so it was future investment
i'd like to see how ek looks and what is performance
btw do 2 big cpl chips leave fingerprint on ek block?
as for video in 2d slot, this way system just looks more loose, when parts are not close to each otgher
also my new video is old 8800gtx with 27cm length, and in bottom slot it would be too close to reservoirs barbs
OK thanks!
my endless build was very close to finish but suddenly ..
i got presents :)
