wait i was talking about the antec 900 pics above his post, there are a LOT of pics of the pump in that. and i wasn't being serious with the blind thing

I've had this setup running for a few weeks now, decided it was finally time to get some pics of it up.
The radiator, a Koyo/Adrad Ford Falcon AU Copper rad, fin area measuring 67cmx45cmx32mm.

The enclosure for the entire setup, which sits outside on a balcony. Amazing what $15 of pine and ply can get you.

Shots of the pump and an old heater, serving as a fan. Pump is a Nightingale TCP130, Qmax 90L/min, Hmax 23m. From memory it's around 1/2HP; My pump is bigger than your pump! :D

A few minutes drilling yielded a couple of 1/2" holes, into which were inserted a pair of copper pipes, over which the tubes were forced. The smaller hole is for the line to the power board, which feeds the pump and fan.

^^ how is that NB fan spinning with the rubberband :ROTF: ??? wtf
you should invest in some zip ties man :yepp:
I'd say the rubberband doesn't touch the inner fan... only the frame.
rubber bands disintegrate under heat
btw, what are you temps??
Aye.
The rubber band doesn't get hot at all; it's been set up like this for a few months now without any problems.
Idle temperatures are ~5-10 degrees over ambient, load temperatures 2 or 3 degrees above that; after around six hours of Orthos load, temperatures increase another few degrees, to ~10-15 degrees over ambient.
I run the E6600 @ 3.6 on 1.45v.
there have been several posts since mine, but i wanted to answer the mounting question regarding the pump. I was very simple actually. Danger Den included industrial Velcro with the d5, so considering that it's lightweight and the tubing would naturally be pushing up on it I decided to just use the Velcro. Very simple and very effective.
omg, This is one of the most chanceless things I've ever seen in my whole entire life. I once cooled an x850xt(pe) amd 3000+ venice@2.7 and a northbridge on a a8n-sli premium with just one 120.1 black ice pro. And my temps were around 40C. And then you see one ubernerd who thinks all this work will make such a difference instead of buying a 120.2 :S ON A SINGLE 6600? I swear the E6600 @ 3.6 on 1.45v will run great on a 120.2. That's the same thing as flowrate BLEGH! i hate those theories, and I know higher flow can decrease your temps but it makes a 3C difference or maybe less?
Now I'm going to take a smoke...
Did he "stick" that pump with neo_prene pad with adhesive to top side of the case?????
Grimreaperguy, i really appreciate all the hard work, but im going to have to agree with dnb#. All that work,time,effort,and money you spend while you couldve just bought a waterchiller...
w00ps, my sig is HUGE. imma edit that.
^^I love that color man :up:
Hey there!
My first post - been browsing the forums for a bit and finally registered!
Here's another Antec 900 as every1 else says...its cramped...also, I wanted to mount everything internally so opted for a Tt rad...bad choice.
I have a Lian-Li V1200 with a PA120.2 on the way soon (I hope!) so watch out for my new one ;)
Only the CPU atm, but hope to extend it to the N/S Bridges and GPU and RAM (eventually - with 2 loops!)
PICS!:

nice case mike
Well, the NB runs under 40 degrees with the HR-05 sitting on it, no matter how many volts I throw at the thing, and I'm yet to find a block(s) for my 7950GX2 that isn't as expensive as the card itself.
Last I checked, this is XS, and we're supposed to enjoy what we do. If tinkering around with water cooling is 'hard work' instead of 'good fun', I think you're in the wrong place. :yepp:
As for cost, this project was largely begun because of the high cost of the loops that we normally use; the pump set me back AUD$80, and the radiator $100. A DDC and a Thermochill would cost almost twice that, and an Iwaki would cost as much as the entire loop! :ROTF:
Funkflix, that's alot of spare space in you case; why not bring the radiators inside? I really like that black tubing. :up:
Point taken, Allthough for me the Xtreme in Xtreme systems stands for Xtreme perfomance, or Xtremely cold computer. Not Xtremely-difficult-way-to-make-something-that-couldve-been-done-much-more-easily.
Dont misunderstand me, i love your setup. It's just that you could've reached the same result with a lot less trouble. And then if you went thru all the trouble you would have gotten even better result.
Aesthetics is a relative term, something which people here forget...
A personal opinion on what looks appealing is all anyone can physically share--the beauty is in the beholder :)
the mod is good but i don't like this antec case, but overall it's a very good job
Here's my mess:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...2/HPIM0600.jpg
Nice.
I have a p180b am currently putting together a WC system for it. I used your build as some early inspiration. I already have the tripple rad, filport, T and tubing. I'm just not sure about the pump. I want to put mine in the top HDD bay so I'm torn between the 655 and 355 which would be easier to fit.
Looks like the back end of the 655 would fit in the empty bay. Why didn't you mount it there?
Thanks for the comment, The pump would fit in there, but I had a limited supply of tubing and I also wanted the loop to be compact. I tried the empty bay and it would be a bit of a hassle to route tubing for the outlet of the pump as I didn't want to do more cutting than was necessary. It fits well though, doesn't touch anything inside and it's pretty secure.

Even though I ordered the swiftech sinks like a week or so from petras, and they should have the new thermal tape, it still sucked! Didnt stick whatever I did, tried heating the sinks up, etc. So I went with the superglue-in-the-corners-method, worked like a charm. :)
http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/7474/dsc00427er3.jpg
hey haydeehobbit, what kind of hd coolor is that?
i heated up swiftech heatsinks with a blow dryer. Stuck on pressed firmly for 15 secs for each ram sinks and left for 2 days for the thermaltape to reach maximum bondage.So far been really firm and hasn't feel off

NysoO,
I followed the worklog of "water inside" and I think it's a pretty nice case you've made there! :D
keep up the good work!
@ NysoO: i love the 5th pic down. i love white clear light on nice clean clear tubing with water in it!
hIGGINS WHAT TEMPERATURES DO YOU HAVE ON THAT GTX
Kick @ss rigs guys!
that pump is huge is it a alphacool pump?
Looks like an Iwaki to me. The pressure in that tiny ID hose must be immense...
GoldenEye, is that a Asetek Waterchill kit?
Yes it is :)
It's the Xtreme Edition
It's Pomp + Reservoir
hows the performance on the kit, we sell them @ the store I work at but I've never used kits before so it'd be nice to have some insight. Thanks
http://www.modthebox.com/reviews/ase...terchill12.jpg
Actually, to be accurate, it's pump/res/fan controller/temp sensor/optional display all hooked into the pump. I have one as well. You do have the option to seperate the res from the pump if you want to save room. Takes up the same foot print as a hydor l30 without res. Maybe less.
Nice shots, bundymania :up: :up:

Hello all. This was an attempt to do something a bit different, at least in the area of the radiator. I used a fairly small pump (mounted under the table on the bottom of the 1/2" vertical copper pipe) to feed the top of the coils and let gravity help the liquid flow down to the 2 to 1 blocks mounted on the front of the coil stands. Variable speed fans in the stands provide airflow up through the coils. System works reasonably well but I want to increase flow rate (currently the gauge reads about 1 and 1/2 psi). Hard to find truly quiet pumps that will flow large volumes of liquid. One coil is connected to the CPU waterblock and one to the GPU. System capacity is almost 4 quarts of PC ICE dielectric fluid. Best temp recorded was 41C on the CPU while running dual Prime95.
No, 5 Hd weigh a lot and its bolted down to the bottom of the cage. I pulled it back and stuck a 120mm fan in the front to keep the HD cool. (works kinda good). At one time I had the rad in the top but moved it to the bottom. My case is under my desk and it seemed that bottom of the case was always hot,, now that I have it in the bottom and with three blow holes in the top I have lots of flow ;) Next time I take it apart I might take some more time with the wires, but my case dosnt have windows and I was kinda moving fast on the mod because I wanted to get it done before the wife got home from work and started with all the hunny do's. :rofl:
here's my lil selfmade tower, my old thermaltake tx was just to tiny ^^.
at the moment its just a beta build cause the other cooling parts like smartcoils, gpu blocks are still missing and there's not alot time but still alot to do :shakes:
next steps should be:
- to refill my loops with black uv water
- get rid off this ugly tube bridge
- put in my 2 g8 ultra
system:
dual lianli cube
qx6850 @ d-tek fusion
asus striker xtreme @ mips watercooling
asus 1950xtx @ innovatek
2gb dominator 1250 @ mips watercooling
loop 1: black ice stealth 240 - black ice gtx360 cpu - mem - gpu - asetek waterchill xtreme
loop 2: black ice gtx360 - mb - asetek waterchill xtreme
any questions - just ask =)
Where do you get those bubble fans? :D
hm I think these should be zaward fans dunno ^^
Yeah the label looks like Zaward but it's probably just a re-badged Sharkoon Silent Eagle LED
nope, zaward ^^
Please re-read my post ;)
No Sharkoons are rebranded Zawards.
Sc4mpi have you painted your thermalright hr-o5's red?
omg @ sargatanas 2 cube's!!! That's hardcore man! lol
here is my setup for now.... still have alot of work to do.. hiding the wires and installing a 2nd hd for raid...
also will be ordering a custom side panel that will show the 3 fans for the radiator as my current side panel only has a mesh opening near the graphics card
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa3/Tboy012/N.I9.jpg
http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa3/Tboy012/N.F3.jpg
will it affect the performance of the psu if there isnt alot of space there?
