I hope to step up to Skull Trail when it gets available.
Can you advise me as to how you manage to fit two Vapochill units inside your (presumed) 22 inch Mountain Mods cube? Or do you have two stacked cubes? I'm also assuming that you use two Vapchill Litespeed units or you have the Jinu VapoLi modified units.. Am I right?
Now, I hear that they are creating new format cases with 8 slots, presumably to accomodate Skull Trail's four gpus. So, you are saying that the Skull Trail will take four standard GTX-style cards without any SLI connectors, and that the magic will come together via software, right ?
That's what I like most about DarthBeavis. He's not afraid to challenge all conventional wisdom.
He says DD fullcover blocks are superb, and now I trust him and will try. Whatever you say about SilenX, you don't know what he knows.
Way to go, DB !!
Hey that's a really clean look NEvolution! How about you slap a MCW60 on that 2900XT? You should be able to clock to at least 925 on it :slapass:Quote:

I've already had my share of SilenX failures..never again :) I'm a Yate Loon guy from here on out.
That was what I planned to do but I could not find a place to buy it. So I ended up going with the HR-03.Quote:

Please enlighten me about these "failures" you've had.Quote:

Hi Been i like the way the top one looks! what hardware do you have in there?
emPUR3 I like that first cae: the black lines are super tight.
RE SilenX
Considering I have bought/sold/used THOUSANDS of dollars in SilenX fans I can attest to them being dead sexy. Especially the 38mm deep ones.
However out of the hundreds of SilenX fans that have moved through my hands I have had several obnoxious failures. Leaking oil from the mylar seal/sticker is one particularily annoying failure. But usually the failure is just that the fans make a clicking noise of some kind...or the LEDs fail...
I did have one CPU cooler fall apart....that was a real pisser.
But mainly I encountered a prejudice towards them from people that have never even used them. SO I stopped stocking them all together.
I myself have a prejudice against Yate Loons and refuse to use them so there!
Brave words, CyberDruid. You have my admiration for guts there :D
have you not seen the size of his chin .. he can take it :rofl:Quote:

How do you think I lost that one eye :p:Quote:

On a PA type rad the deep body fans work pretty good though.
My personal favorite fan for ANY watercooling set up is the Sanyo Denkei SanAce 1011 103.5 CFM fan. It's really a superior fan.

Yep 7V is a sweet spot.
They are in that Lian Li case I posted above.
That's odd because I consider a fan "failure" to be where it simply doesn't work anymore. I've got "leakers" that burned off all the oil they could and have been running 24/7 without so much as a peep out of them for well over 9 months now. I took it as "excess" oil burning off, but if it's everything from inside the bearing chamber, I'm fairly certain that I'd hear a noise of some kind (rattle, click, squeal) by now, which simply isn't the case.
I've said before that I won't recommend them for rads, but if you've already got them, they do make nice case fans. I've got more than I'd like to admit having, most are scheduled for use (as I have 5 ongoing builds), some were for cases that have outlived their usefulness ( but may still find life as MOSFET or RAM coolers).
@ IanY . . .I am actually using a single modifed Vapochill and using it to waterchill both CPUS (well, I will once my cpus come in). I am making a pimp setup for it (tubing in polished conduit with foam insulation sprayed in.
For fans . . .I actually use Yates and SilenX in builds depending on the color scheme . . .Yate for blue cause they are cheaper, otherwise SilenX. For Autopsy I used all AC Ryan. The SilenX's are really quiet in Hellmouth. Just wish they were not so spendy.
The AC Ryan Blackfires are fun to look at...but not so much to listen to.
CyberDruid, would you recommend those San Aces and running them at 7V as opposed to running a 50cfm or so fan that already runs pretty silent at 12V? High cfm will help during the hot summers, but otherwise I'd want things to be pretty damn silent, if the San Aces are just that at 7V heh.
Where can you find those San Aces anymore? OOS at Petra's, where else can you get them? (At a decent price)

Nothing too special, but theres mine. :)
Anything involving a water cooled 900 definitely takes some skill. Good job!:clap:

At least from my perspective :)
I prefer $5 yates or something :up:
BTW, good job on the 900 g1raffe! Looks great!
they starting to adapt tho...i saw at compusa the new antec 900 cases have watercooling holes on the back like the higher end cases...so it should be quite easy to watercool it with an external radiator :DQuote:

nice rigs giraffe and the omen!!!!
nice to see more aussies on here :)
You need to hold a San Ace in your hand...you'll see the difference immediately...about three time heavier...not a fan you want to stick a finger in :DQuote:

Someone who got any pics of a watercooled Lian Li V1000 or V1100? :)
I am going to cool mine you see, and I am looking for ideas.
Sorry for my bad English. :p:

Is that the Lian Li PC-7B? And what are those fans?
Yea thats a Lian Li PC-7B on aluminum legs and the green fans are old Cooler Master PL12S12L. I think thats the part number. The black fans up top are Yate Loon D12SL-12.
Very nice way to do that man...
That makes me :) after seeing setups you made CyberDruid.

I like it too but the tubes too small for me:D

is that loop ok with that pump?
BTW it`s very nice and yet dust-free...
DDC 's are powerfull pumps for multi-block systems :up:Quote:

The loop is quite alright with this pump. It got a lot better since i removed the alphacool reservoir for the laing and replaced it with the mcres. Flow is quite good now.Quote:

Nice picture: of a block I would not recommend. Galvanic corrosion wiped mine out in short order...

Alphacool 1510 in the new kid on the block...kicking butt too.
Quote:
With the external adjustable DC voltage converters (12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 Volts) you may adapt the delivery rate of your pump to your own configuration. The 1500 litres which are achieved at the highest level satisfy even the most pretentious expectations.
The pump is attached at the transformer, and the transformer at the power pack of the PC.
NO 115/230V connection is needed! The extra power cable is superfluous as the pump turns on/off automatically with the PC.
This centrifugal pump is conceived for the thoroughgoing continuous use. The pump sells with 36 months warranty. Due to the G1/4" internal screw thread, the pump is compatible with all types of connections.
Specifications:
Powered by OASE !
Pump performance: max. 1500 l/h
Delivery height: 6m
Power consumption: 17 W
Connection: G1/4"-connections
Sound level: approx. 21-35 dBA
Dimensions L x W x H: 115 x 100 x 80 mm
DC-voltage converter L x W x H: 118 x 75 x 60 mm
Weight: ca. 720g
Nice pump:)
My card is only for vitrine. :D
CyberDruid, i just saw that on the alphacool website but didn't think it would be that.
1/4" connections means a convertor to 1/2" is needed?
[edit] nevermind, found it [/edit]
21-35db...seems pretty loud to me..
Martin's flow test with overvolt showed it to almost match the Iwaki RD 30 :shock2:

:confused: I thought it was either 9W or 18W and I thought that was the 18W (DDC 3.2, MCP-355) because of the blue impeller (same as my MCP-355).:confused:Quote:

While waiting for second pump, I added mcr220 to single loop setup in sig, load temps decreased by 4-5C, (they decrease ~7 on load when remove ultra). I am still getting 1.3 gpm (fills 1 gallon jug in 46.5 seconds x 3tests) with 9W DDC through everything (got 2.02GPM when just tested through tubing). Maybe will just keep second pump for spare, or wait til go quad for two loops.

@Malik: Amazing sistem, don't like the flurescent green all that much, but i love the custom backplates. :yepp:
@disruptfam: Great looking sistem and obvious effort on the tri-loop WC configuration, but i can't help to think that it would look even better with some smaller tubing and a bit better tube management, but that's just me. :up:
now that you have such a massive w/c setup I hope that Q6600 freq. is just old data, and that you made it to 3.6+, am I right? :DQuote:

dude that is soo wicked awsome... Im jelous bad.. I'm gonna get my new gear tomorrow.. but it's not going to be anything like that.. Looks like some real time and effort went into it... (and alot of mula to lol)
Good work
EDIT: I think you have me inspired to now run a dual loop to cool GFX aswell. Using blue and green (my current theme). Probably have to use T-line for second loop though.
Awesome rig :up:. Dodgy floral furnishings :D
