does anybody know the dimensions of one dual rad ? not the full rad but the part that we cut from the cases :p i want to put a dual in the roof of my stacker bat i have my dual on the bottom of my stacker and i cant take it out now because i need the pc running :(
the blue lines those dimensions i need if anyone has a spare dual rad please :(

thank you for doing what we were all thinking, NV, in your next Nforce board (which you should put soundstorm back on), please remove all the suck from your northbridge fan before you ship it.Quote:

imapwnyou - skipping the 9800s all together? ;) seriously wish the 9800 didnt suck so hard. Oh well, GTX280 looks to cure our performance withdrawl problem :)
I have 2 actually. 440 is about the most stable for 45nm quad which I don't like. Otherwise a relatively solid board.Quote:

@Peter
Beautiful build. I like the UV, you didn't overkill it. Have a picture of the full case other angles? I'd like to take in the whole thing.
First liquid cooling build, took about 10x longer than I planned (and about 10x the budget x_x)
Used this site quite a bit for this project and learning about WC in general - much thanks for the amazing amount of helpful info!
Build is a Mountain Mods UFO Duality, left side is MB + blocks etc, right side is Hard drives, 2nd pump/fan controller/dvd + misc. Wedged between the 2 sides is the hidden PSU - tried to hide most of the cords in there. Still waiting on an RMA for one of the Enermax cluster case fans (led's not working) and need to tidy up some fingerprints and a bit more wire management, but finally closing in on the finish line for this project.
The colored loop is purple, though it looks a bit pinkish in the pics :mad:
Radiators are 2x PA120.3 each in a push/pull fan setup.
Waterblocks are Danger Den ~
Pic overload incoming :eek:

So it's just a cut out for the 2 fan holes, but due to space limitations I had to fit the rad closer to the top anyway. I measured it all by hand, then cut, as the radiator mounts were just a pain in the ass to get right. If you like, I can give you the dimensions.

Well, this is it. There is still some tuning to come.
You might ask yourself, why the tubes go into the case. Well, I didn't want them to be at the back, I had it like that a couple of times but I didn't really like it. I think this is much better.
Ah and yes, this is no mora 2 Pro, this is a mora2 core built into the fan-adapter so you can mount fans on it :)
Cheers,
Peter
Very nice setup :) What is the name of GPU waterblock?Quote:

Benching with water cooling but rad is dipped in iced water.

Redid wire management. Cant believe how :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty this case is for wire management...
http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/j...p/DSCN6272.jpg
http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/j...p/DSCN6273.jpg
The cathodes. A fairly low white light will have a more impact.
Thanks, but I went for the blue cathode because my case is black and blue. :)
He's referring to taylormsj's question above, whether he meant dimming the lights or the shutter speed of the camera.
And I agree, a dimmer effect would look sweet, even if it does look great now too.
l33t p1mp, lighting tends to work better if you hide the cathodes so that it simply shines onto the components and so that you can't see the cathode directly - indirect lighting.
May I ask where you got the blocks for the NB, SB, and the one next to the cpu ( to the left )????Quote:

A few changes in my Lian Li... New 1000 Watt PSU and an aluminum/acrylic reservoir+two pumps (inside it)... No way to pull up BIOS bridge :rolleyes: Actually i have a new case; Cosmos 1000 and working on it now and hope to pick it up soon...

The rad wont fit inside the top of the case,because of the other graphics`s card .even with no fan`s on the inside..and don't really want to move the bottom lay out to much at the minute,so that`s why i have put the rad out side,till i decide what i`m doing with the motherboard and graphic`s card`s.all so will be changing the rubbish read sata cable`s`..lol
Made that looks sweet. I would change your loop order tho, i dont like the idea of the pump feeding the single rad and then the resevoir, i think your flow would be a lot better if your res fed your pump
Love the case

CarNabY, looks nice ;)
What pump do you use in your system(loop?)? I think it isn't laing, but which? What temperatures do you have?
That pump is a SANSO PDH 054
Nope, using 4 door stops like these and screwed them in from the bottom of the case to the rad. Bit fiddly but totally secureQuote:

yep the PSU is relocated at the bottom front. Used a right angled power cable, running from the front to the top of the psu then through the bottom vent ( the bottom fans ) to the outside of the caseQuote:

thanks for your comment,i put it that way for a reason ,that pump i`m using is more than powerful enough, as you proberly well no,and if the water circulates slower the water move`s slower though the block and allowing the heat to transfer better from the block to the water,and with an idle temperature of 29c cpu @3.2 i dont think that is to badQuote:

The rate of heat transfer is dependent upon the delta. The greater the difference in temperature, the faster the transfer rate.

There is absolutely no benefit to having your coolant in contact with your CPU for longer periods of time, in fact doing so will reduce the amount of heat transferred.
By all means, if you can't be bothered, leave the loop as it is. As you say, your temps are fine. But you aren't getting better temps by slowing down the flow of coolant.

yes i understand what you are saying,who is right and wrong about water cooling solution`s you hear so much this ways right this ways wrong.. i use to have the pump straight to the res before and it use to run on idle cpu@3.2ghz,about 35c.now it run`s around 29c as i said.I have a thermometer to keep an eye ambient temperature in th room,but it`s not that i cant be BOTHERED it work`s for me..p.s thought this thread was for showing water cooled case`s only:)Quote:

I see you got your 2 3870's installed, nice.Quote:

Well here's my H20 Antec Nine Hundred - not the cleanest as the other PC's I've seen on here but it was tough working with the 900 and trying to make everything fit nicely.

As I said, not the cleanest but the 900 was a challenge to work because it's quite small to fit a full size watercooling system inside.
I plan on getting a PC-P80 and a couple 4870X2's when they're released, with some other goodies as well.
The PCI slot covers are from mountain mods; they came with the case.Quote:

@ Waymon3X6
That green really reminds me of the ooze from Teenage mutant hero turtles lol. Looks great.
I got the 2nd film on vhs somewhere :P
Haha, thats cool Timmy.
Begrip, the Quad @ 3.6 idles at around 38-40C, load is around 60C
GPU's idle at 34-36, load is around 44C
NB is pretty hot, I think I will remount it with some AS5 when I get some free time - temps are around 43C
