sweet,looking rig,nice and clean and tidy
Knet I would get rid of those elbows. 90 degree elbows are HIGHLY restrictive and dramatically reduce flow through the loop.
2 X 45s would be better, but best would really be just the tube with a slight arc to it.
i know, i know.. :) i ran out of tubes.
And you definitely have to throw away those UGLY smartcoils...why do people still use them, I really don't understand that.....just buy reasonable tygon? I use tygon for about 3,5 years now and never had any kink. and believe me, my previous loops were tight bended. just buy r3400 with thicker walls.
smartcoils doesnt bother me on the looks department as i dont have a clear sidepanel. lol! ;-) and it came for free!
I've had Tygon flatten on me even on even on easy gentle curves...gave up on the stuff due to cost.
I use smartcoils because my tygon was starting to kink on the curves. I am probably going to remove it from the longer runs of tubing though, because I'm beginning to find it tacky.
nonsense, buy some 1/2 ID 3/4 OD uv resistant r3400 and I'll assure you it doenst kink.
All smaller sizes have thinner walls, I had 3/8 once, but that sucked ass with tight bends. And in some way the r3400 black uv-resistant tubes perform way better as the clear ones :S I've had all kinds of tubing and doing this for about 5 years so I know what I'm talking about :)
But If you don't mind how it looks, it doesn't matter offcourse ;)
System looks great btw!
how i wish i didnt needed the smartcoils. prob is, i got a 5/8 od and it kinks really really bad. especially the run on the cpu block to the single rad on the exhaust. man it kinks so bad i had to use smartcoils. but i totally agree smartcoils looks ugly..i may have to use 3/4od the next time i change tubes. for now, it does the trick.Quote:

great looks :P. I'm beginning to admire black tygon :P
It's not black Tygon, it's black coolant. Look at the elbow fittings ;)
its a feser uv black dye. :D

Rellig first welcome to the water forum:welcome: , nice rig :up: but you need to redo your cables.
Shots aren't that bad, but your rig could do with some serious cable management and a stronger pump. CPU, NB, SB, 2*MOSFET and VGA all in the one loop is a hell of a lot for what I'm guessing is a topped DDC :shocked:Quote:

and yes, the pump really is on a limit. i bought the pump, cpu-cooler and radiator from a friend, so i was thinking about adding a second laing ddc (maybe the ultra version) after the nb. i was just wondering, if this really helps my temps (53° at full load; Q6600 b3-stepping @3,2ghz 1,36V).
but i guess it's of-topic in this thread, isn't it?
german style :D
I think it's not to bad. The Laing should be enough for that setup. I'm running with an Eheim 1048 with CPU/GPU/NB/SB/Mosfets and a 3x120mm rad. I know i could use a better pump but my setup is working fine with good temps. His Laing is alot stronger than my pump.Quote:

well 53°c at full load ain´t bad:yepp: I was equally adviced to get a new pump and i did just that. Stupid me, my temps didn´t get any better. My advice for now is try and take care of you cables. ;)Quote:

hahaha. Awesome rigs people :up: to joo!
i enjoy looking at build pics so i figured i would post a few.. I didnt clean up the wiring because within the next few weeks i may be changing to a maximus/rampage formula and a 9800gx2.. also im going to rebuild it once i find an acrylic top for my EK supreme..
Anyone know where i can find an acrylic top for my EK supreme in the US???? petras has been out of them , they said atleast a month before he can get anymore

Hey there. Im new to the forums..posting wise (ive just been looking around)
so ill just post my stuff. i know i need to fix the wires but this is what i have.
i have a 3dmark06 of 15500..is that good for my specs?

it looks realy nice tho :)
Yea, I know all about too many 90's and the T's. It was done that way so that the case is still 100% stock.
As for temps I've got a Q6600 running @ 3.6G and it never gets above 42-43C with ambiant around 22-23C running stress test.
Oh the thing you can't tell what it is....it's a 4 into 1 for running 1/4" tubing for the memory.

it sure is a spectacillar case (spelling) great work!:up:
That's one hell of a case stoner. Do you have more pics? And what are its measurements( height, width, depth)?
hows about we sell that design or we start mass producing that baby stoner?? thats one of the most beautiful sleak designs ive seen. i really like the LCD you could do a lot with that. plus it looks like you could fit 2 120.3's in there natively.

Truly excellent Stoner. I don't usually find myself congratulating people but this one deserves it. :clap:
Damn that case is fantastic! Top job mate.
Stoner, I love that case. Can you give us a couple more shots of the inside?
want more pics plx plx :D
My respect Stoner, you have one hell of a talent. Well think about mass producing such cases. I will buy one if i ever get to see it in a shop.
it's quite hard to find a good shot for the inside, if you want to see something particular let me know and i'll try to take some nice picturesQuote:

These fat SilenX fans looks beautiful on the rad, are they quiet or?
Stoner that is one of the most amazing cases I've ever seen, keep it up!!! (sleeving your psu wires would make it look neater too).
no, are quite noisy but not as the Sanyo Denki 109R1212H1011 on the other rad.Quote:

@aicjofs, man that looks sweet!!! :up: :up: :shocked:
What temps are you getting on your CPU and NB?
What fans are you using on your rad?
Is that D5 or D4 pump?
Lol, sorry for all the questions... :p:

Just Beautiful! :clap:
What case is that and how did you mod that side panel?
At benching overclocks(which is worst case) depends on realtemp or coretemp. Using coretemp it's about 55C full load and low 40's idle. Realtemp after calibration shows about 10-15C cooler. Thats with QX9650 at 4.5Ghz and 1.57V(the bench speeds). North bridge gets to about 42C with 1.65V under full load.Quote:

http://home.comcast.net/~aicjofs/Untitled.jpg
Fans are Yateloon D12SL's. Loudest part is the DVD rom at spin up.
D5 pump.
Glad everyone likes the colors. It was tough getting the liquid to match the GPU shroud. I keep thinking I should have powder coated the inside red...I have sample pictures of colors I'll post later. Next one I'm going to try will be a blue interior.
On that note anyone know about the fans in the OCZ RAM cooler. The LED's are a terribly bright blue. I was thinking 1) snap off the LED's but I don't know for sure they aren't in series with stator, 2) Black nail polish over them, 3) Replace...but I can't find any replacement fans that are thin enough.
Thanks for all the kind comments, because I have seen a lot of TJ07 mods that seem better. :up:
EDIT:
Silverstone TJ07. I didn't have to mod the side panel, they have one with a window. That said, I DO want to mod the side panel. I'd like to try drilling some holes and placing LEDs in the acrylic so that the outer edge of the window will glow red. I have wanted to do that mod since the beginning but I never get around to ordering the LED's.Quote:

Stoner,
that's one heck of a case.
And I love it.
Aicjofs, that's my case of choice and a very nice setup up. One question though. How did you get the rear covers and internal structure black? Did you paint them yourself, or is Silverstone now offering it like that off the shelf?
i just drew some sketches on a piece of paper the idea so no sketchup's model or similar. sorryQuote:

I might just do that change, although the GTX holddown will still be silver in color...Quote:

No Silverstone doesn't offer it(they should though huh? :D ) As you probably know the TJ07 comes almost completely apart so powder coating it is easy. Putting all the screws in every hole of the motherboard trays keeps the holes from filling up during the powder coating with the added side effect of having black screws to work with in the end, downside was there seems like 100 holes in that tray. The painting the backside kind of just happened. The masking wasn't good enough and there was a bit of overspary through the air vents near the i/o shield area so the backside got completely powder coated and then the extra power supply grill too to match. I actually do like it better that way.Quote:

Here is the unused hard drive cages painted up with some different powder coats to to see some different ideas. Nothing was masked and some sides are coated with different color on top of each other so there is some bleed through. The black in the case was like 90% gloss, I wasn't too fond of it as it ends up a finger print magnet, something with a little more texture on the next build I think will be better. I like the black classic look myself but some people like the flash and bling so had to look at other color schemes too.
Higher gloss Red and White
http://home.comcast.net/~aicjofs/Red_white.JPG
Here's a ugly funky green(You could match the Nvidia green exact if you wanted too, which might look cool, actually if you look at the picture above on the lower left of the red you can see what the green looks like, lighting wasn't good for any of these pictures) and some textured blue.
http://home.comcast.net/~aicjofs/Green_Texture_blue.JPG
The texture up close.
http://home.comcast.net/~aicjofs/Close_up_texture.JPG
A blue (with the bleed through that isn't in the finished product), and a black texture that almost looks dark blue in this lighting. Sorry for the poorly lighted low res pics, but just trying to show ideas.
