Actually, a couple of UV cathodes are placed behind those 2 aluminum supports in the front. This way, your eyes are not filled with all the UV goodness when the cathodes are on, and in my opinion it's better when you can't see the actual cathodes.Quote:

Hideous? Purely on looks, I think it's better than the stacker. Plus it's quiter, I'm pretty sure. I'll take your old Stacker though since you don't want it any more. :p
It doesn't look bad.
But I think I'm gonna go for the one Zeebs used for his set up, the TJ03. The price though, seems quite deep which is keeping me away.
My old setup.....Dangerden 1/2" I.D., Hydor L30, Heatercore
AthlonXP-M 2500+ @ 2500Mhz (Maze3)
Abit NF7-S rev. 2 (Zchipset)
ATI AIW9700Pro (Radeon Block)
near 75 pounds of things... +cables and hoses management :slapass: :eek:
Looks nice, but your right it does look very heavy.Quote:

Get rid of all those aluminum 90 degree bends, you don't need them. And get a pump that doesn't suck, no excuse nowadays to be using an Eheim.
What sux so bad about Eheim pumps?
Nothing sucks about them. They are actually really good, known for their reliability. The thing about them is that their flow rates are really low so they arent the best choice if you're going to be cooling a lot of parts. More flow would mean better temps so that's why people don't like using Eheim unless reliability is superior to flow rate. Nowadays their are a lot of high power reliable pumps so that's why he doesnt want the guy to use an Eheim.
Usama aka Ferrari Freak
UPDATE:
New PSU and change case Xaser3 to Lian-Li PC65B (LOL) :D
Aluminum has a nice touch!! :hehe:
Mid-tower cases really reduces spaces for a WC setup, but now i choose a T-line to get more room inside and a easy access with other elements.
Ooooh, pretty colours! :slobber: Lol. Nice setup there. Very bright, but not too bright, and believe me, I've seen some that can be regarded as too bright. It's like someone put a flourescent light in them.... Gotta wear :cool: if you wanna look at it.
Usama aka Ferrari Freak
Very nice, especially the 120mm window mod. Btw, I get what you mean by the pics being darker than they're supposed to be :p: . Great job :toast:
Usama aka Ferrari Freak
Nice case. Looked like a window mod because most cases with side fans have them in the middle of the window (Scorpio). And yeah, you're right, you really should have RMA'd it.
Usama aka Ferrari Freak
A few pics of my case. Note that my radiator, pump & reservoir are outside, great in the winter but not so great in summer.
How is that Socket A blok connected to the s754? :stick:
All I did was to unscrew the plastic heatsink holder around the socket and removed it from the MB, then placed the socket A water block on it centrally on a flat surface (table), then marked all four holes through WB with a marker, I then removed the WB, after I drilled holes where the marks were, then I ran the screws through the underside of the heatsink holder, later I re-attached the whole lot back on around the socket (with the two mounting holes and screws). I did not use the original DD screws but ones bought in a wardware store as they were more shallow at the end, because my fear was that the originals would make contact with the MB on the underside, the other benefit is that the screws from the wardware store are only one piece instead of 2, after remount the waterblock using the springs and plastic washers to the new socket 754 MB.
Also I had to sand the four legs/stands on the underside of the plastic holder, with a sheet of sandpaper on a flat surface I removed a couple mm so that the WB can make good contact with DTR.
I did setup the water cooling without first sanding "all ok and quite low temps, but after I sanded I noticed a drop in temp of about 4-5 degrees.
Here is my new project...
I still have a lot of things I plan to do to it yet but this is how it is now.
I still have a 120.3 Performance shroud on its way, some EP exclusive fan grills. A little more colour planning still to be done.
Then I will tidy up the cabling, add another fan controller to the Floppy drive bay and install a fan covering the Ram and PWM IC on the DFI SLI-DR.
What are you opinions so far?

So this is my first attempt/experience with many things, including W/C.
As you can see I’m quite the LanParty animal – looks are everything!! (not).
Actually I’d gone through an XP-120 with 120cfm fan trying to get this bad-boy FX55 under 60C with OC/load (unsuccessfully I might add) . My goal was pure functionality …
I found success! I now run 42C to 45C max oc load on cpu (and pwmic)
My new system has exceeded my expectations. I’m very very pleased with my initial results!! Now, where are those dualies?? Bring em on!
Here is my main parts list:
Radiator – very pleased with this one!
Get the shroud! and the fans .. all the goodies come with it, very nice/simple setup
http://www.dangerdenstore.com/home.php?cat=14
Water block – very simple installation – seems ok, used the stock restrictor/pressure thing, but have the others that I could play with later.
http://www.dangerdenstore.com/produ...7&cat=21&page=1
Pump – seems ok 350gph 10’ head
http://www.yourpondstore.com/keysea...d-keywords=mag3
Local grocery store provided the 1.25 gallon drinking water container .. Lowe’s provided the fittings for the reservoir.
Here is a look inside the cooler case
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y19...olerInside.png
Cpu -> Radiator -> top of reservoir -> bottom of reservoir -> pump in -> pump out -> cpu
Take a close look at that Radiator mounting .. this is a CompUSA branded mini-tower that sells without a PS for $29.00. I was worried about pain of mod'ing/mounting the rad to the back panel, but it turns out that the motherboard framework on this thing provided a square slot that fit the radiator PERFECTLY! I simply tie-wrapped the top in to hold it in place. Cutting the rivets of the drive tray framework and removing it was simple.
Here is a look at the outside of the cooler case. Gonna be working on re-routing the tubes to the back
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y19...lerOutside.png
I am also in the market for a good pump. They say there is little reason to have a eheim any more, well I still have a Hydor L30 that came with my first WC setup, and I guess that is even less powerful than the eheim. The dangerden/lain DCC pump you have pictured is really interesting - it has a lot of 'head' as you call it. That meaning it is powerful despite its small size and useful in loops with much resistance. The max flow is not the best however, but the worst thing about it is the noise afaik. I think I read about that in a review sometime ago. Do you guys know of a pump that is quiter than the L30 and still more powerful? That doesn't cost 100 $ of course.. I'm not very rich :(Quote:
Originally Posted by GravediggA
Also when I see all you guys' pictures I'm thinking.. Isn't it better to have the T-mounted refill hose on the intake of the pump, instead of the output? Or does it matter at all? In the end I am also a bit confused about this whole pressure vs. flow topic.. what the heck is the difference of the two? Oh well I wrote much longer than I intended :p:
The Laing DDC is not a noisy pump. It's very quiet. I don't have any experience with L30's but I doubt the DDC makes more noise.
Max flow of the DDC is something which surprises me. With the standard top it's low; ~350LPH.
Why is it so low? Because there is a 90 degrees bend right in front of the inlet of the pump. With a modded top the max flow is almost doubled.
The interesting thing is that the modded DDC GravediggA actually has a top inlet which removes the 90 degrees bend. Many people don't know this and don't use it, but it might improve max flow a lot. Maybe not double it, since the inlet does look rather small, but it should be an improvement.
No, not yet, but i will have one soon. :)
It's an Cape Coolplex 25. http://www.alphacool.de/perl/shop.pl...150&art_kz=157
I'd hesitate in getting that reservoir. It seems like double-trouble. It uses uses Aluminum and Plexiglass. If you have copper in the loop with Aluminum, it's prone to corrosion. Also, Plexi is prone to micro fractures which leads to leaks.
if u really want a res, I have NEVER had any leaks with angel eyes bay res, all I run is zerex + distilled water. No metals and looks great, u do have to be very careful though and not stress the threads for the screws too much. Other than that, I had it for 2 yrs no leaks.
Hi there guys 'n' galls...
Right here are a few pics of my new case and watercooling setup. I loved my old Wavemaster but it was just too small for 1/2" ID water hose.
The components are:
Lian-Li PC75
DFI SLI-DR
3700+ San Diego @ 2.9ghz
X850XTPE
OCZ Powerstream 600w
74gb Raptor
Water stuff:
Thermochill HE 120.3
Thermochill Performance shroud
Danger Den Fillport
Panaflo M1's
Tygon r1000
Cather's Storm G4
Aqua Extreme A50z
Silverprop HL
Here goes....

http://img299.echo.cx/img299/8902/dscf11792jf.th.jpg
Performance wise, I couldnt be happier... its virtually silent and if I wanna play games or load the CPU heavily then I can crank the fans up to keep the temps constantly low.
Temps are good. Idle is 28-30.c load is around 38.c thats with the 3700+ SD @ 1.65v, and the X850XTPE at 570/600

Yeah.. before I take all the credit... it was Mr BAcon that cut the case and choose all the watercooling stuff :)
You will need a 114mm holsaw and an Arbor to cut the hole... however take it from someone who knows... get this done properly or you'll be wanting a new £140 case! :)
Bacon.. what do you think of it now then?
What is an Arbor?
its the middle part of the drill that will attatch the holesaw to the drill.
Nice upgrades there Cashman. Much better than they were before.

How did you guys get that part done? Ex: Process in which you traced the holes, and the drilling holes to mount the rad to the case. I guess thats my biggest concern is how you lined it all up.
set square, ruler and i made a template by joining all the individual shrouds together (before thermochill offered a complete single solution like they do now)Quote:

Yeah the TDX comes with a long screw like shaft that you place in the MB holes. Under that you screw on a little locking nut, put a washer under that, and then its just a matter of screwing it down. Really easy

That's mine! :)
Here in Bulgaria I couldn't find green UV liquid addition for the water, so I bought green hose /it even wasn't enought, so there is still one old piece clear hose, that isn't very clear, becouse of it's age :D/ The water blocks are from the Asetek Whater Chill WC Kit, all brought from USA. The pump is Hydor L35 /1700l per hour/ and the heatercore is from old russian car - bought for 10 lewa /about 6$/. It's pure cooper and handles the cooling very well!

What did you do to put your loop that red?
clean and almost no angles (unless I am not seeing the tee to the right of the pump correctly)?
Thanks for the replys.
To answer your questions:
Turok: I used some Water Wetter for anti-corrosion etc. however it turned the water pink so I put some red food coloring in it. :D It turned the tubes red.
Mikee: The item right of the was my homemade reservoir but I had to turn the case side ways to fill the system. Needless to say I don't use it anymore, I don't really need it.

Gives me some more space at the bottom and looks cleaner this way.
Im thinking about moving this whole setup to my CM Stacker, which would give me even more room to work in.
