Junk Liquid Cooling Gallery

Since my hardware puts out so much heat i decided to watercool the cpu, nb, sb, and both 8800gtx's.. Needed a bigger case so i went with the Mountain Mods U2-UFO case.. Its really an incredible case...

I wanted to go with to completely seperate loops, 1 for cpu, nb, and sb -- and 1 for both 8800gtx's...

I have the Swiftech STORM Extreme Performance Universal Water-block - Rev 2 on the E6600.. Dangerden DD-680i Chipset Block on the northbridge.. Swifty MCW30 chipset block on the southbridge.. 2 x DangerDen DD-8800 GTX waterblocks on the southbridge..

2 x Swiftech MCP655 pumps, one for each seperate loop.. 1 x 120.3 thermochill radiator for the cpu, nb, and sb loop.. 1 x 120.2 thermochill radiator for the 8800gtx's..

A total of 14 120mm fans in all.. I have 120mm fans on both sides of each radiator.. I did this so i could run the fans at very low rpm's-- keeping the water nice and cool and yet very quiet..

With the fans running very low( my pc is now almost completely silent) my temps are very good..

E6600@3600mhz(400x9 -- 1.525vcore) temps are 40C idle and around 45C full load..

8800gtx's idle at 47C and get to 51C at full load..

nb and sb stay around 35C

Im really impressed by the quality of this case, a bit expensive but well worth it IMHO..

Newest (and final for a while) setup.. nothing blingy like my old setup but I do get better temps over my previous WC (BIP III/MP-05 Pro/Maze4/50z/MCRes).

This is my first post here so I'd like to show you my original German system. Except the CPU block everything is made in Germany.

http://arctic.kilu3.de/10.03.07/DDTDX.jpg
This is a Danger Den TDX for S939. It cools very well and looks fantastic :).

http://arctic.kilu3.de/10.03.07/aquaero_innen.jpg
The fan controller - an Aquaero made by Aqua-Computer.

http://arctic.kilu3.de/10.03.07/innen_hinten.jpg

http://arctic.kilu3.de/10.03.07/lüfter_hinten.jpg
All fans are Yate Loon D12SL-12. Very cheap but silent :).

http://arctic.kilu3.de/10.03.07/mips.jpg
Northbridge block made by MIPS-Computer.

http://arctic.kilu3.de/10.03.07/nt_lüfter.jpg
PSU is an Enermax Liberty, but I replaced the standard fan by a Yate Loon ;). Also there are two temperature sensors *g*.

http://arctic.kilu3.de/10.03.07/ram.jpg
The heatspreaders are Revoltec RAM Freezer Platinum. They are useless for better OC, but are very nice =).

http://arctic.kilu3.de/10.03.07/wchk.jpg
GPU block is a Watercool Heatkiller GPU-X 2.5. The installation is horrbile, but it performs great by a low flow resistance. It also cools the MOSFETs.

http://arctic.kilu3.de/10.03.07/wchk2.jpg

http://arctic.kilu3.de/11.03.07/außen.jpg
The Case is a Lian Li PC7-SE in black. A nice case but very small for a watercooling system. So I mounted the pump, a Watercool Eheim 1046, and the reservoir on the cases back:

http://arctic.kilu3.de/11.03.07/hinten.JPG

The radiator is external, pics will be shown soon.

Could you tell me what this is, exactly? You can even try explaining it auf Deutsch, weil ich ein bisschen weiss. :cool: Looks to me like it is a valve that would allow flow when you apply pressure to both sides. Why you would need it is beyond me, though.

Mine!

I think the original DD TDX mounting looks terrible:

Right! It is an Aerocool Aero Engine II
But nothing is, as it was, when I bought it :D

The Box was created for separating the liquid-cooling-components from the Hardware.

Well Though it was time for a tune up of my system so heres what I did.
Before
http://www.truthinessguild.com/ftp/luckys%20comp.jpg
Yea omg whats on that pump. Well as everyone knows the little DD pumps suck and mine cracked along the back :D . So it was time to change stuff.
After some time and cash
http://www.truthinessguild.com/ftp/P...%20(Large).JPG
Parts are
Laing DDC-2 + Petra's top
BIX :( ( Need to get thermochill like everyone )
Swifttech Apogee ( Getting a D-TEK FuZion love the mail system )
Swiftech MCW30 NB
Evercool VC-RE SB :)
Oh and a custom res I made in my spare time holds about 1L
Just running plain distilled water might get some Pentosin G11
Please tell me what can be improved.

LOL. I love your old pump. Looks like a WWII vet with the bandages.

Thats a drain and it has a zip tie now.

The other definitely has a worm drive clamp on it.

I didnt take the final pics yet. I havent had time to work on it. I just went though a CPU exchange, and the next time i have free goes to rebuilding another quadcore.

I have 3 now, 1 going to be donated soon to my best friend.

So when i do have the time, and i get the plexiglass up, i'll repost.


As of right now, i dont care how it looks, only how much points it can crunch per day.

Nice one Uncle David! ;)

Just took some new pics :)

I replaced my damn violet-light-producing CCFL by High Quality LED's.

So my non-uv-active components are not spotted with the bright violet note.
It is purer UV:

see a usual LED:

And the higher Quality with a lower nm-value:

Where did you/are you getting the UV LED arrays from? I am looking for some and don't like the UV CFFL's because they put out too much "light" and not enough UV.

DDC upside down = bad ?

Never heard of it, but I hope not. I turned it upside down because it fitted well in my not-so-spacious P180. If I turn it the other way around, I will lose 1 DVD or 1 HD..

The CPU block is a '1ACOOLING-HV2'. I bought it as part of the complete set. It's small, but I guess it is in the lower classes of performance. It is probably going to be replaced by a friends alphacool (nexxxos?) cpu block.
