Poor disruptfam :(
Now I have an urge to do a similar mod with the TJ07's or the V2000's instead. Damn you!

Haven't ever been sure if it's better showing the pics this size (800x600) so they're really the thread and tell most of it by themselves or if I should thumbnail them.
Personally I hate linking to pics and tend to only view a few like that. Still it's better for the bandwidth-challenged.
Really like having a black plug on the Corsair ram cooler. Even thought of taking the mobo back out and switching in black fan headers on it, but that'd be crazy. Wouldn't it?
Suppose it would.
Might look good though?
Hmmm...
Well after seeing this build and the fact that I already have one, it's an idea that has really grown on me as of late.Quote:

That's very similar to how I got started.Quote:

In a V2000 based version you'd have no hassle putting two triple rads below.
You'd have tremendous choice and flexibility over your layout.
Is your existing case silver or black?
hey jedda mate did ya get my pm from yesterday?
Disruptfam
PM answered, mate.

Actually, the Corsair RAM cooler wasn't painted black. It comes in a black anodised brush finish bedecked in flash Corsair stickers.
RX7borica came up with removing the big blue top sticker and switching the hub stickers while building his MM UFO Horizon.
I just took it a bit further, removing all the stickers, switching to a black plug and hub stickers. It's easy enough to do, looks great and you can store the stickers if you want. A spare anti-static bag makes a good storage solution.

yeah i did mine the other day... real easy took all the sticker's off won't be using them again.... so storage ain't a issue for me...
(looks some much better without the sticker's)
Nice to hear you got your mofset block mate..
cheers
Got the water temp sensors in. Temp in and out on both rads.

Hooked the pumps etc.
If it ever got a third loop I'd put the T-lines over one pump. So the three Fill-ports would each feed the pump below, rather than the current offset.

This is sooo sweet. I hope to do this someday, have the time and cash to build a second monster comp while keeping my main up and running.
Doin great Jedda! And your setup will last forever, just update the insides. Well until we have warp hole processors. And "Unobtanium" rads.
Looking good... nice to see progress.... only took 20mins to load haha
I like the way you mounted you pump's i will be doing the same with mine :)
Hey jedda can i just use a lighter to heat up the heat shrink onto the sleeving..?
what size sleeving and what size heat shrink will i need to sleeve all my fan's pump's etc
Thanks guys:D
I used 1/4 inch or the next up depending on how many wires.
Have used a lighter to shrink but can tell you it's a lousy feeling to melt through the sleeving by accident while doing the heat shrink.:(
Got to be a bit careful using an open flame to do it. Your chick got a hairdryer?
Yeah, it's been a bit slow but I've built two others for relatives while it's been being built.
Gotta finish it 'cause my chick is jonesing for the one I'm using to post.
hairdryer?? yes she certainly does.... :ROTF:Quote:

The loops atm without MOSFET blocks.
Still sorting backplates and the second MOSFET block.
It'll all look a tad neater once the leads are plugged in. Currently they're all over the place, unplugged, for leak test.

There's no kinks, it just looks that way in this pic.
looks real good mate...what tubing are you using??
looks real neat imo...
very nice work on routing the tubing... real clean!
Tubing is 7/16" Tygon B44-3. It's the food grade one they do. Recker turned me on to the stuff as it stays clear and has no leaching. Couldn't find it in Oz. Even the local company didn't know where it sold retail. Had to get Sidewinder to send it over.
Bit of a pity its so hard to get.
do you find you ram fan noisy?? i was playing with it today and it give's off a buzzing noise 1 fan was louder than the other two...Sounded like it was hitting something... i shaved some of the inside of the noisy fan with a razor blade seems to be a bit better but still get that weird noise any idea's?
cheers
It's quieter than the OCZ cooler but all the little fans seem to be a bit of a pain. I have the Corsair turned down a fair bit.
For some weird reason, they get more quieter as you run them. As weird/dumb as it sounds. It's like they need a burn in period to quiet them down...
Quite likely!Quote:

how the leak test go mate... good??
I was wondering when i fill my loop up can i run it as distilled water and pt_nuke and and leave it clear to see what it looks like and add dye later,into the loop??
cheers
Well as much as I'd like to look good the truth is I had a leak.
Investigation reveals the GPU block o-ring had jumped its groove while assembling. One downside to the acetal backs is you can't see if that's happened.
I think the o-ring will be OK. It was pinched where it exited and re-entered the groove but not badly enough to demand replacement.
Looking at it side on the two pinched bits still stand proud of the groove. So it should still seal. Fingers crossed for test #2 later tonight. lol
Eddy says the second MOSFET block is due next week, so I'll get a spare o-ring sent too.
I don't see any problem with adding the dye later bit by bit. Don't think I'd want to dump a loops worth of concentrate into the res with some brands but a little at a time should get it dissolved evenly through your solution.
no leakage on any hardware then??Quote:
