Good flight :wave:
Fantastic to see somebody using TEC's in the correct way :)
Personally I wouldn't have used the Boreas stuff, but its good to see that its working well :) and it does look cool :D
Awesome build :)
Thanks, Looks like my move to England will be completed soon / I can't wait to work on my computer again.
It's rare to see modders who use these cases take a more simplistic approach to their designs. I like.
Thanks... I've always loved the clean look / spent hours rewiring it to achieve this look... Oooo and I finally made it to the UK / should be able to move into my house within the next few days... :up:
glad you made it malk! ;)
WOW... It's time to revert back to radiators / the TEC's are draining my accounts considering I paid over £250 for my last electric bill. This could be an opportunity for a few minor upgrades :)
ouch malk. send it my way.
we pay something like 25 bucks per month in a 2 story home with air conditioners and all the lulz anyone needs :P ( i3 lappie + atom netbok + pd945+ e8300)
I can only imagine how much I'd have to pay if I used A/C units... Not really needed considering I'm still using fuel oil to keep the house warm at night... I kind of laughed when my electric company stated that the average cost for a house my size is only £65.. I think I heard something about our energy cost going up 20%????
.
System has been gutted / very few TEC's left.... Just ordered 2 new EK-CoolStream RAD-XT 480's / hopefully this will reduce my energy bill... On a side note - anyone know where I can find some good touch screens for my drive bays? Oooo and I had a friend make me a new top that supports 12 fans…

A few parts arrived (2x EK XT480 Radiators, Silver, Replacement Pump & Feser Dye)
Few Pics... Hope you like

Radiator’s mounted to the panel with Enermax fans / wasn’t sure which method to use so I decided to stick with the pull method… Hopefully the new setup will control the heat considering I’ll have 3 cards, CPU, and both bridges attached to this loop…

Ooo and I’m adding silver to the mix which I've never used before / hoping this works as advertized…

Oh god dude - can I rehome your TEC's :rofl:
Very interested to see how this turns out :D
The TEC were nice while it lasted and I was able to keep things chilled but I’m cutting back… Currently most of my old parts are for sale but if things don’t work out I’ll give them away…. I’m still keeping 12 TEC’s / without any major OC this will keep my temps under control….
It's a sad day for me.... Looks like I'll need to purchase a new motherboard / tried to power it up today and it's dead.... :(
WOW malk this is a jaw dropper.

dont be sad, you are doing great
Thanks Duh,
I've found a few possible replacements but I'm not too sure about the performace...
- ASUS Rampage III Formula or Extreme Black Edition

- EVGA X58 FTW3 132-GT-E768-KR

- EVGA Classified 141-GT-E770-A1
http://www.nextdaypc.com/main/produc...rge/A52760.jpg
The nice thing about the Classifed is that I already have a x58 water block which came off of my old x58 board....
malk, your pictures are simply great ( sharp, very innovative and artistic ).
I really love all this passion ( not to mention the added hassle from moving the gear from JP to UK).
Duh,
Thanks again for the kind words / it's always nice to know others enjoy my work...
A quick update... Just purchased my 3rd 5870 thanks to Makubex_GB, but I haven't been able to test it. I was going to upgrade but I couldn't really see any real advantages for me vs. having 3 x 5870's in crossfire.
Ooo and I decided to go with the EVGA Classified 141-GT-E770-A1 considering I already have the NB/SB water block but / was seconds away from purchasing the Extreme Black Edition. Looks like a nice board but it cost $550 :eek:...
It's hard to believe I still had to pay $110 for a new EK 5870 water block to match the others / good thing I got a good deal on the 5870 but that's only if it works...
More Pictures Comming Soon...
WOW this is crazy overkill... watching
Thanks Nick.... Still waiting for parts to arrive / still working on some RMA issues....
malk, this two pics aint loading for some reason:
- EVGA X58 FTW3 132-GT-E768-KR
- EVGA Classified 141-GT-E770-A1
keep it up
Not sure what happend to the links but they seem to be working on my end... Ooo and I can't believe how long it is taking for my parts to arrive...
Well things are about to change again / adding a phase chiller to the unit which will allow for higher clock speed w/ stable temps.... This will be a dual unit and the chiller wont be utilized 24/7 / will have a controller to addjust the temp as needed..
Used paint to make a quick diagram / please don't bash me on the setup because it's just the idea / not the actual chiller...

Edit:
I think I'm going to use this for the chiller unit / All of the controllers will be located in the main part of the case...
