Wow, that is an amazing job elpibe. Those Soldam cases look amazing. Just wish they were a bit more accessible worldwide :D.

Job well done :up:

Hi
Here is my computer.
Its a e6550 2.3Ghz, 8800gt, Asus P5N32-E SLI PLUS, 3x 320gb WD, 500gb WD, 74gb raptor WD. 2x512mb Crucial BallistiX , 2x1024mb Geil.
Waterloop: Laing DDC-1t 10Watt, Old AC gpu and Ac cpu block, And some raidators from magicool, 1x120mm and 2x120mm.
This loop is not up right now. Have got some new radiators: 1x120 hw-labs xflow and a swiftech 220QP. Have some now blocks in shipping. Ek-FC88 (g92) and a Ek supreme.

Modzona... I really like what youve done with your SATA power cables between hard drives :up:
Care to teach us a bit about that :yepp:

Those are 90 degree sata cables. Dont' really know what they are specifically call but the SATA port on one end of the cable is perpendicular. I believe he just had them run down and then ziptied them so it won't get messy. that way the sata cables will stay together.

:shrug:

Nice setup though and I really like that keyboard :D. Old school.

I believe he's asking about the power cables, not the data cables.

There's a brief guide on how to do this on the Xtreme mods forum here. How easy this is to do depends largely on the SATA connectors used by your PSU. If they're easy to remove, it's simple:up:.

You have to go old school:D I did use that most for that it dont have the windows button. Hate that button!

Edit: You are right about the sata cables. Just 3 90degree ziptied for the clean look.

Ooahh indeed he is! :up:

Oh man, I love that button.

Well here's my new build, enjoy ;)

Still bleeding the loop so lots of tiny bubbles are visible.

Wow elpibe10! Your son must be lucky to have a computer like that! I wish my parents would buy me things like that.

I cant wait to build my 2nd Watercooling, I have learnt a lot of my mistakes, and will try not to repeat them.

I got 1/4rd of my order shipped to my place.

That tiewrap (pink) on the fitting of the gpu waterblock isn't enough imho...
The tubing might slide off slowly... been there done that ;)
You'd better use something stronger to keep that tubing on there...

You got almost the same stuff lying there as what I go in my postbox two days ago haha. I already have my CPU/GPU blocks lying at home, ordered my NB block from EK today together with some Tygon tubing which hopefully arrives next week.

I hope to get all of this including the radiator inside my Lian LI :)

Ive got a hose clamp on the line from the 120mm rad to the cpu block. I only need it on those 2 cuz there the only ones that were sorta loose. The other ones wont come off unless i cut them.

Thanks :up:
My biggest hobby is my computer so yes, most of my spare time goes into it. I've customized al of my waterblocks.
The CPU block is a TDX for socket 939 which I made a custom LGA775 mount for. The base of the TDX is also bowed [CLICK].
Same thing for the chipset block. Its a Maze4 NF4 so originally it doesn't fit P35/X38 chipsets, so i made a custom mount for it also.
The EK waterbloks came with ugly black bolts which I replaced with nice chrome ones. The chrome ones look way better with the chrome fittings imho.

TDX 939 custom mount:

No, it's just regular PC Ice Clear. Tygon Silver Anti-Microbial tubing.

Looks whitish in the reservoir due to millions of tiny air bubbles created by the cyclone in the EK res. Does anyone know how to stop that by the way ? :confused:

I also replaced the ugly black bolts but with polished stainless steel caps and had the alloy heatsink copper plated to match the rest. Polished the block as well.

Hey man, looks great!
But, even though polishing makes it look sexy, it does not help performance... in fact it worsens performance.
It's like putting lubricant on a table surface, it makes it slippery and you have no grip at all, same goes with thermal heat transfers, it's a layer between the copper and coolant/copper and CPU/GPU.

Just a heads up. :up:

BTW, @Canine, :shocked: HOLY COW!!! That looks simply amazing dude. :up:
Excellent job there. :clap:
