It's not pictured but I have some PT gel and a small plastic box Velcroed to the case underneath the pump so it's not just hanging there. When I go to redo the loop for my 8800 I think that I'm going to remount the pump up in the 5 1/4" bays.Quote:

dark-redeemer Nice work... so clean... congratulations
does anyone have any comments on the pink panther on page 308 as they all would be much appreciated thanks madeee p.s this is my first water cooled system
Madeeeeee
very nice for a first build...
not fond of colors but to each his own...
like the case... i think for my next build, i'll seriously consider that case...
I would have mounted the pump in the bottom dvd drive bays. that way you cut a solid foot of excess tubing out of the loop.Quote:

And, on a random note, I want comments too! Page 308 as well. I have more pictures I just have to go through and toy around with them in photoshop to fix colors and the such.
damn all you attention ho's...
:D
thanks, the colors were suppose to be blue and red but the die i got wasn't blood red thats why i think it must of turned more pink...lol but it will do for now not finished yetQuote:

OK, I've mentioned this build a few times already and I just finished it...in fact, it's so newly finished, it doesn't even have an OS yet. Before y'all flame me, I built this as an experimental shiats & giggles system, it contains:
Case is an old AOpen that I don't even remember the model #
Gigabyte GA-8I915G-MF
524 Preshott
Innovatek G-Flow CPU block
Sapphire X1300 (Gigabyte 7600GT shown in pics went up in flames last night due to touching top of the case http://smilies.vidahost.com/otn/sad/mecry.gif)
DD CSP-Mag
3 Alphacool Cape Cora
MagiCool Plexi Reservoir 400
Innovatek compression fittings
11.2/8 Tygon R3603 (I was led the believe this was the right size for the fittings I bought but doesn't seem to fit right:shrug: )
Antec NeoHE 380
30GB Maxtor & 20GB Seagate HDD
Innovatek Protect fluid

http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/6...ittingskm6.jpg
I'm not expecting any great performance out of this system and soon as I use up all the fluid I bought (enough for 2 more re-fills), I'll likely switch it to an all copper/brass setup with an Apogee Extreme and a BIP.
Got the EK Waterblocks from PPC today and they are sweet. 28C Idle and 32C load :D
This is what I have been waiting for so I could pair up the GFX cards...
I even managed to slip an X-fi between the big bastages.

I'm running off the Gynormo cooler (PA120.3, 6 Panaflo, Bonnie Core, IwakiRD30)
Still need to get a cooler on the MCH and SB...maybe in a day or two...it was a lot of work getting those cards LCed.
I like how you went to the Res before the Radiator...been thinking of doing the same myself. Any problems with cavitation (bubbles) in the system?Quote:

Cyber, how is the first block getting any flow with it in parallel?
Possibly there's enough restriction in the blocks and enough coolant flowing through that it still cools fine.Quote:

I think there is more flow from the terminal inlet...but the path is reversed on the outlet side so I think it balances out.
Bottom line is it's cooling so much better than air I can hardly believe it.
Nice one CyberDruid, did you have a single-slot bracket laying around or something? otherwise the soundcard would never fit :)
Looks like a seriously powerful system you have there, very nice :up:
Thanks :)Quote:

Can you please take nice pics instead of making some random shots when you move with 15 mp/h....:(Quote:
Some pics of my build;)when i'll have more pics of some little updates i'll post too:
You can see the worklog here:
I have a 5.1mp cam too but if you just set your ISO to 100, aperture on 2seconds and lay the cam on some clothes, nightsetting on for better colors, and a 2 or more seconds countdown. It will make beatiful pictures!
Just try and post again because your system is AWESOME!
Cheers m8
yes i no of chilled pc,will probably use them in the future ..thanks for ur commentsQuote:

:yepp:
Yeah I saw the soundcard and the bracket... that's why I asked... hope you don't have to RMA that card... oh well just screw the other bracket on then lol :D
Must be a LOT quieter than with aircooling eh :)
Oh yeah. Once I change out the SB cooler it'll be tolerable.
Not sure if anyone else has reported it...but the SB cooler on the D5400XS is super annoying...
nice system that,love the red inside,been looking at that motherboard myself..was it easy to setup..or just the similar to most..?Quote:

sorry about the big pictures :cool:
What a res... I could drown into it :)
Looks kinda fugly...
kibubi is that res tri-angle shaped?
My P180 was too small.. all the HD's were killing me...
So I switched to Stacker, not the most elegant case around, but surely one of the most practical. Some blue plexi and a new watercool setup provided me a fresh case. I'm still considering to paint the inside black, but kinda have enough of modding atm..

For the people who wonder where my res and pump live (the pictures were taken before I finished the loop btw..). Biggest improvement regarding my last watersetup: the liquid from the resevoir now flows directly in the pump :)

The loop is cooled by a PA120.3 with sucks air from below trough nexos fan filters.

Just a sample photo - result od latest changes in my LC system :)

Today i have most been
Flushing a rad, modding my fan cables so there 36'' and bradied, then fitting it all. Work in progress, taken way longer than planned.

Oh yeah, that is 3 fill ports for 3 loops. Just incase you were going to ask!

The T is home made with integrated thermosensor and its outer diameter is larger that fitings' ;) That's why I didn't put any clamps on it.
I would put some clamps on it. They're only like 30p... better safe than sorry...Quote:

QQ clean cabling! imba job mate
Very clean build, I would really like to see the front of it even if it isn't complete :). I was thinking of doing something close to what you are doing except with a different lian li case.Quote:

Those EK blocks with the blue acryllic look really nice on the HIS IceQ3 HD3870 (dark blue PCB)... until I put purple coolant through it. WHYY!!!
phillip684, beautiful job with the wires ;)
i love the overall black/copper look, too
i want mine to be just like that
btw, what are your temps? the loop looks very restrictive

eternal fantasy, Any pics of the completed build?
Very nice setup!
Here's my first WC build. It still includes some old hardware but in May I will buy some new stuff (CPU, Mobo, RAM and vidcard). When the pictures were made the build was obviously not completely ready yet. But I think you can get some good impression. This week I will take some new pics of the final result.

Whoa, just spent like 2 minutes just gazing upon those 9800GX2 cards. Is it safe to say that you would be saving A LOT of space if you removed those monster coolers and slapped on some blocks, haha.
Offtopic for a sec: How strong would your PSU have to be in order to power those cards?
I think the recommendation for 1 is 600watts...
Thanks! I will update my rig's pics once I install the Quad SLi Driver and put in the second 9800GX2 :)Quote:

Not really...since it's 2 pcb's with a cooler sandwiched in between, unless they find some way to have the cards be closer together, its gonna end up being a dual slot either wayQuote:
