Crawl Space Cooler Build

well the cooler is done but for the TESTING ! in real time on a PC
I have to do assy under the floor as it's larger assembled than not & my access to the crawl space just fits the steel box & not the whole unit

SOO the Next thing up was yesterday I buildt was W/C'd high end test bed
I need to test the whole thing outside the case soo i can build the pump/res box
>> Plus test the Rampage Formula/QX9770 out before ripping the stock cooling off to make sure that both are not DOA on me

i had got a HSPC tec bed but really was not happy about how small it was & was pissed I had ordered a MoBo on the bottom bed
anyway the bed will hold on a GTX360/EK150 res/ddc pump with a petra top all the time soo i can test MoBo's/do builds

i will be hooking up the dual Iwaki's & the dual EK 400's on the bottom deck for the Crawler coolerr test on this bed & do most of the tubing runs
here's the PIX of the test bed (up load failed on the pix seems the server is down )
DDC pump / resevoir & rad 360 will be Hard installed today I'll post pix on that when i'm done

forgot to say I ghetto modded the HSPC bed it now has 3 floors / MoBo tray now on top and a large base soo i can add /substract pumps & the like at my whim the server is still down will post PIX when they will upload !

doing a rad tower that will hold a res/pump also this will be on the bed for good
going with a tower soo the res is the hightest point & the rad outlet is up in the vertical position to make for Quick bleeds

Wow, sounds like you've done a ton of work!! This is looking REALLY good. can't wait to see it in action!! :up:

BTW, i can't PM you for some reason, i go to click on my pm box but it says "Data Base Server Error"...
It's been doing that all morning, so hopefully they'll be able to fix it soon... maybe we can talk in AIM instead?

If you can, grab some cotton air filters and bail on the paper air filters?

I'd also request a high res you tube video or some other hosting....

Awesome work!

Ok, got an email from you bigslappy, we'll talk through that.

here the pix

the pumps will go on sta & then test water blocks then MoBo / Cpu

went with wood on the bottom deck that way i can move & remove pumps /rads / fans / valves at my whim & just bolt then down >> if i get alot of holes left over after awhile i can plug with dowels 1x 3" risers make room for pwr cords & the like .. more work this weekend ....

MO Pix

assy

Mo'

bleed out !

Quoc from PETRA's came thru with that male to male fitting ,
that made the res /pump placement possiable
Tricky get all that lined up right

>>>>>>>>but Hell it works great !!!

Very Easy bleed !!
bleeding on an hour now none left ...... most of the bubbles worked out in ten minutes
gonna let this run all day to look fer leaks

Tomorrow MoBo goes on for testing the works for DOA's

then it's rip the stock cooler off the MoBo & EK & V2 loads on the MoBo more testing / leak checkin'


after that the Iwaki's & the Crawl spacer cooler gets connected to the test bed

at that point I'll have the Temps !!

nice looking project.hope it turns out well!

testing on the Tec station i modded revels the MoBo is bad = the #1 PCI slot is shorted .. all day trouble shooting this .. #2 PCI slot works fine but am still gonna RMA the board back to Asus '
used #2 slot & got to load all the drivers & set up my Raid 0 with the dual WD 640's loaded the O/S The QX9770 is FAST == water cooled the thing on the test bed .
I can't wait on the RMA SOO i'm Just gonna order another R/F board & then keep the RMA when it finally gets back to me it's then another build agin But i love doing them I learn something new each time.

Great quality on thos ASUS boards :rolleyes:

Looking forward to seeing it run :up: Best thing about it is the buffer for summer you have got there. My crawlspace is always nice and cool :) Wanted to put the PC there but too many spiders :down: I hate spiders since Arachnophobia... Damn you Frank Marshall :shakes:

And they say on the news America is on the verge of recession... Don't notice anything :ROTF:
Great work!! Can't wait :yepp: LOL too excited in your place :rofl:

You know not that I am saying it ethical but if the boards are exactly the same and your getting a new one what would tell them as to which board was purchased when for the rma I am sure NewEgg's return would be faster than Asus just thinking out loud :shrug: And I am sure NewEgg would get faster service out of Asus than you would :rofl:

Big Set Back on this build the Wife broke her leg in 4 places Soo i'm Nurse Radchett for awhile .. Had a R/F mobo went bad /D O A ordered a new while i waited for the RMA ....
