>> NEPTUNE V3 << TJ07 "SaNxU" PROJECT

http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7528/cabeceray.jpg


After my last Project (Neptune V2) I started a new project, some parts are recycled but I think it’s not an update from the V2. So, V3 it’s a NEW project!

Concept:

Nowadays most Silverstone TJ07 are Murdermod’s, and so I like to go out from the routine and try an innovative new project. Going with an out reservoir, liquid cooling tubes will be more showy that the sleeved cables, not only a simply front, etc.

SaNxU

First shot! Thats gotta be quite nice worklog with TJ07 on 2 loops. :up:

4x120 Radiator with support:

This 4x120 Radiator will be placed at bottom of the Tj07 longitudinally at left. It will have:

• 4 Ac.Ryan Blue UV fans at the exterior face.
• 2 Scythe UltraKaze at interior face.

Interior side will have armaflex to prevent vibrations, and will put armaflex to the custom support too.


Let’s talk with some pictures:

Best regards

Are the Phobya Compression fittings smaller in diameter than the BP's?? On the widest part of them? And what sizes can you get the Phobya fittings in?

MAIN GPU: Zotac GTX275 & EK-FC275:

This Zotac GTX275 will be cooled by EK-FC275 Plexi-Cooper. It already have a black PCB, so I won’t put acrylic cover to this VGA.


Let’s talk with some pictures:


GTX275:

Feser&BP's:

• Absolut external: 25,8mm
• Tube exterior: 19mm
• Tube interior: 14,5mm
• Absolut internal: 12mm

Phobya:

• Absolut external: 25,8mm
• Tube exterior: 19mm
• Tube interior: 14mm
• Absolut internal: 11mm

So, You can se that the completly external diameter of bouth are the same, but the completly internal diameter of the feser&BP are 12mm in front of the 11mm of the Phobya. Then, i think that Feser&BP will work a little bit better.

Looks Great and the Photos are very nice :)
Looking forward to this :wave:

Thanks! your pics are a little bit better I think:D

I'm looking forward to your worklog too;)

Regardss!

First of all, I’ve purchased a tripod and changed my camera, let’s see which ones:

The camera: Canon Powershot S45

http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/4449/s45f.jpg

The tripod: Vivitar V-2400

http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/3042/vivitar24002.jpg


And now let’s test how the new camera&tripod works with some pics of some new components:



EK D5-TOP V2:

Time to show every detail of new V2 version of EK D5-TOP. This one is black acetal, but can be white acetal too.

http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/3272/ektop1.jpg

http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/8749/ektop6.jpg

http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/9489/ektop7.jpg


As you can see one of the screws that press the thin part to the main part are a little bit different, don’t know why…



One of the raptors:

http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/1/raptorsolo2.jpg



The sleeving:

The sleeving color that I’ve choose for this project is CARBON BLACK, It’s different from the common black.

http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3...ingcarbon1.jpg



The tube:

The tube is a Feser Blue UV 12,7/19 mm

http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/1571/tuboazul1m.jpg




Best regards

Got any updates?

I'm waiting for all the fans and mdpc sleeving and others... :(

Hi another time, have been past a lot of time with no updates, so, here is:

The pics I think that are a little bit better than the old ones, let’s see if all its ok…


Black Sleeving & Others:

Well, amazing job of Nils:

http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/9564/nilsremover.jpg


Black&Blue 4x120 Radiator fans:

The fans are this: Coolermaster SickleFlow 120 2000 RPM Blue LED

And some real pics:

With light:

Without light:

http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/7...rsolonoche.jpg



Now with the radiator: (as you can see the bolts are ugly, I will change it for the shorter black ones purchased at Nils.) :D

[http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/853...radiadorha.jpg

http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/1...adiadorhlu.jpg

http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/886...adiadorhsi.jpg


All fans are fitted to an only one 3-pin, and reporting the RPM only for the first one.



Black 3x120 Upper Radiator fans:

This is only a pic that show the fans, in the following updates will see why the SLIM ones, and were will be putted with the 3x120 radiator.

http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/234...adores12mm.jpg




Tube&Coolant:


The tube has been shown before, but the coolant will be Feser One Blue.

Hi SaNxU, Nice work you doing here.
Your photos are not coming out right. i think you need to read this page.

http://www.diyphotography.net/homest...ighting-needed

You have to get few white lightings on the thing you taking picture of. Remember dont use the flash from the camera. Always use lightings.;)

Looking good there SaNxU :up: I just bought those cooler master blue fans myself they are very nice... I was wondering what RPM did you get on the Sythe fans below in the picture and it says on newegg site they are rated at 46 CFM with 36 dBA seems loud to me. Have you tested them yet how do they sound to you?

Thanks

Incredible information, many many thanks. I'll try to improve my photograph skills a little bit, thank you.

I've bought the 2000Rpm ones, I didn't test it so far, but the noise I think it wont be a problem because the aquaero will make a good job tweaking the fan speed of all the fans of the mod... we'll see...

Another update! this time a little bit important than others :D
Let's see the beginning of the building:


4x120 Radiator in the TJ07

First of all the box that covers the ON/Reset button. As known by the people that have tj07's the reset button is not easily to touch, so I decided to put another Reset button that will be shown in another update;)

Now a little update with only 2 pics, but bouth I think are imoportant!


1st: Black Plexy top for the Asus 8800GTS physics to cover the green PCB.

http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/9...vidiaplate.jpg


2nd: Plexy mid plate to cover all the holes that have TJ07's plate. It have a 12cm blue UV plexy mesh and an black aluminium one.

Better pics of the plexy mid plate in the next update!

Best regards!

Nice update, SaNxU. Good work on your fan cabling.

Great pictures!

But do you mind telling me why those barbs are mounted on the vga cooler? Are they for draining your loop?

Bouth VGA's are in paralel so those barbs will go to the second GPU :D

As you can see, the VGA's are in Paralel, and the flow don't know exacly if diminish or what... but malik have better temps and don't remember another project that works perfect... so I wanna try!

Trying can never hurt. If you don't like the temps you can always go series :).

The flow is halved for each GPU so they will get worse temps. But it's better for the rest of the loop (less restriction from GPU waterblocks), and GPU temps are not very important (as long as they stay reasonably cool).
Nice job so far, looking good ^^

Exacly what I wanna say before... but my english... :(:(:(:(:(



The only think that matters in the second loop is the GPU's so I wanna see if I have worse temps or the temps are right...


This night pics of the painted mid plate with the Black acrylic. Still working:(

Ill be waiting to hear your results ^-^

was thinking about doing this too... and after hearing malik have some success I was hoping it could be repeatable....

Nice work mate.
Looking forward to the next update.

And finally this 2 pics of 2 probes that will measure the temp at the top and at the bottom of the case to control the ambient temperature inside the case. Bouth controlled by the aquaero and adjustin the fan speed of the 3x120 and 4x120 radiator.

Best regards! Keep posting and put your opinion pleasee!

sanxu can you fit directly phobya fittings to the gpu waterblock in the copper side or they also need some spacers like others compression fittings ?

The fittings are 45 degree bitspower shown in this pic...

But i think that phobya compression fitings will touch the pcb for sure....





Some bad news of the project, mi PSU Silverstone zeus 850w is DEAD.

so... Silverstone Strider 1200 comming jajaja


I have been working with the cable routing and all the 5 1/4 bays, some pics today night or tomorrow!

Beste regards

it's coming along nicely.
the more I see this case the more I want it.
I like the fact that you can mount a 4.120 radiator at the bottom and stuff.
My HAF is showing it's space restraints not too bad though.
Subb'd btw.
v1ral

Nice work there! Makes me want to redo my setup.

Why cooler master r4s on the rad?

How did the graphics cards work out? Did you change it back?

@sanxu if the compressions are touching get a extender :), Nice build also mate subb'd~

SaNxU

What height does this rad mounts have?

saNxU,

Very nice build!
