After building and clocking the system in my sig, I had decided that I was unhappy with the tempatures at full load with orthos (I use Intel’s Thermal Analysis Tool “TAT” and Everest for temp readings). My Zalman CNPS9700 was just not cutting it for me. So I thought I might dabble a little with water cooling. I devised a plan that would help me save money while maintaining effectiveness. I would experiment with a Big Water 745 kit to see if it could beat my zalman cnps9700 (because it is only $120 and I could pick it up at a store right down the street). And the plan was if it did lower my temps I could use it latter for a second loop cooling my chipset and GPU’s. After istalling the kit I realized that my temperature went down a few degrees. This led me to believe that water cooling might be the answer to all my prayers. So I did some research and developed the best water loop possible. The only reason it is not the best is because I did not want to use the noisy iwaki md-20, and the swiftech storm is only the best with the iwaki, it gets spanked by the mp-05 if any other pump is used (especially low power pumps). So for noise reasons I went with the next best thing which is the most powerful Eheim available, the 1260!!(this thing is an absolute beast and is massive, but as promised, it is totally silent) And I paired it with the mp-05 special edition and will be using ShinEtsu X23 as my thermal paste (I used coolaboratory’s liquidpro before and it gets beat by this stuff even though its metal and its freakin hard to get off the heatsink and cpu, you have to lap off the residue). I had the pa120.3 shipped from the UK which was a nightmare. And I chose to use the latest and greatest fans from thermaltake, only because the “golf ball” 2000’s are sold out everywhere and thermaltake claims to have a fan that pushes 78cfm while only producing 21dba which is quite a feat. Now that I have them I know this is totally inaccurate (there loud). Since I will be having three radiators and two pumps I had to build a platform for everything to mount on. And due to fresh air space issues I choose to mount the pa120.3 suspended above the ground. I also decided to mount a separate power supply (a very cheap one, $25) to the board to run the pump and all the fans. I have a highly overclocked crossfire system so I did not want to steal any more of its power to run the new water system. Temperatures are amazing, compared to everything else that I have tried. To give you an idea temps were 58c with cnps9700 and 56c with big water (orthos for many hours). From what I saw before I don’t think it wll ever be above 47c because that’s the highest I ever got it but that was at 1.5volts and 3.64Ghz orthos for eight hours with room temperature at 70F. Here are the pics. I know it’s a little ugly but I plan on cleaning up the wiring and painting the wood black. Enjoy….
and more
and a little more
now for temperature and performance
Well, one day i heard someone saying "Eks waterblocks are like watercooling pr0n" and Ek has quoted him and included it in his signature. I have the honor to say myself :
DarthBeavis's builds are like "Watercooled RIGs" pr0n! :D
sorry, those pics were a little fuzzy, here is performance.
Thermaltake watercooling is homoghey. Dude u got the skillz step up and get some real watercooling bro. oh, dont tell me i dont know what i am talking about cause I have been there and back.
:welcome: Hope you have a hardhat. Me thinks it's going to be a long night for you.;)Quote:

It was very spur of the moment, so i knew the crappiness of thermaltake but i just needed something for immediate gratification. Plus i knew i could always use it to run my chipset and gpus on a separate loop. Did not mean to bash anyone, ya'll must be refering to the swiftech storm statement. I know storm is best at higher water rates but it seems in multiple tests that at lower rates there may be some better alternatives like the mp-05 SP and the swiftech appogee. I love this rig and have been playing BF2 and BF2142 on it for about a year now and it still going strong at the mentioned clock speeds.
Jokester_wild,
That is one nice looking setup. Is that a DD Waterbox you got there?
:up:
Tubing is Innovatek blue UV 8/10". On PWM I have Thermaltake's radiators. I don't have problems with it.Quote:

GIZIU...now that you have taken the heatpipe off of your board do you think the block covering the PWM area would easily seperate from the heatpipe? I was thinking about doing what you did and keeping the current heatsink on the PWM area if I could take it off without cutting it.Quote:

I didn't say anything bad about ranker's rig.I said it was sik
The pump is by far the most quiet thing in the whole rig. I had to install speed control to get the fans to quiet down but once i did the whole rig is very quiet. I had to put a foam like material underneath the pump because it used to make the ply board vibrate and was noisy because of that. But after installing the foam b/t the board and the pump its basically inaudible. Loudest thind on rig by far is the three 120mm fans but probably about 18db since i have speed control set all the way on low.
HAVEK:
nice clock dude. What voltage are you running at, i like those temps. Download Everest with a keygen from isohunt.com and post pic of temps. Everest really consistent across different mobos for temperature readings. Also, mention room temperature when you post with everest.
nice and clean Havek. You need steady hands for those pictures :D

I'm sure you could suggest another place to mount 3 reservoirs other than off the radiator? I apologize if it's such a Watercooling Fashion Faux Pas. Hopefully I can draw from your lengthy WC'ing experiences and you can tell me where to place it best ;)Quote:

Anyhow, I'll try to sleep easy at night knowing that my rig bothers you so much. ;)

Do you mind if i copy ur idea but with blue panels?
It was the store where I buy some of my stuff that did the cutting, so i really don't know how it was cutted :|
You can copy all that you want :)
trouble me fav shot is the one with ur kid!!!! teach em young
Your probably gonna hate me for this but...you could probably use your jigsaw for that. Dremel will melt it pretty good at any RPM.Quote:

I need to cut through my lian li alu panels some modders mesh and acrylic will these 3 tools all i need,dremel,jigsaw,angle grinder?
cheers
What did you use to cut the side panels? I'm afraid that the dremel might melt the alu at any rpm, that is unless you've had success with it?
For most simple things, yea, that's all you'll need. From what I can find on the webs, you should get some 10-20 tooth count blades (looks like thin kerf) for the JS to use on the Acrylic.Quote:

And now for the new. I get bored quickly with my case. I did the white lights a few times back and my friends recommended i go back to that look. Here it is......... Let me know which you like best please.
The 3 led fans in the external are actually white as well, they kinda look blue in the pics.

I really want to like your build nugzo, but those pics are just too close up to get a good look at it. Some nice overall, non-angled shots would be alot better to ascertain what your build truly represents.
nugzo, what is your loop order? Where are the 2 pumps in the order?
Nice build though. I like the look.
The external cooler has been modified(3/8"). Swapped stock pumps for 1 MCP355 w/ petras top. Changed tubing from 1/4 to 3/8. Loop order is Gpu-Gpu-VR-VR-NB. It performs way better than i expected. The 8800ultras never get any hotter than 60c under full load. Here is a thread with more info on the external mod.Quote:

Hey Nugzo, is that black coolant running through clear tubing?
what brand did you use and how long have you had it running in your loop?
i am also thinking of using black but was a tad concerned...
also, what are you using for lighting inside the case, i like it, not too much, not too weak...
it looks like black tubing to me.... could be wrong though.
Black tygon tubing.Quote:

ive re-mounted the koolance blocks today with better thermal compound. the only thing i need is my maximus and the northbridge cooler which i ordered @ mips
