Robo's new unit

Well I've just shipped out Mr. Robo's new toy. I hope he likes it, it was a lot of fun to put together for him.

Thanks about it really. Got it charged and loadtested before, but had to get it shipped out so didn't get a chance to do that on pics too.

Temps were Idle at -58, load at -46 to -47 and 150w.

Hope he likes it all right, i really enjoyed putting it together for him :)

Cheers

Gray

Looks really nice :toast:

Gray You're using 13 mm thick insulation on suction flex line ?? Or thicker ?

Peter

Looks superb grey loving the display:toast:

Dude that is a killer SS, looks the nuts mate and you done a awsome job as usual. :toast: :toast: :toast:

Thats the most beautyfoul i ever seen :eek:

That's perfect!
I really like what you did with the value display, temps are really really great!
well, it is just a Gray mole work, no more no less ;)

Nice :)

Where did you attach the temp sensor?

good idea putting the braided sleeving on the froster ribbons, i'll be doing that to mine now:)

Delicious! :slobber:

nice, i like those fan grills:toast:

lol... "Yeah the SS suck... but those grills are great!" :D
:slapass:
The grills are "OK"... the system is beautiful!!!

dude, it's definitely clean, beautiful and kicking arse...

Wow thanks you guys!

When you put together a system, all you can see are the 'little things' you don't like :p: but it helps to step back and look, then you can see it ain't too bad :)

I attached the sensor at the back of the head with alumina adhesive. Funny, but it's generally reading about 1-2c warmer than the fluke, but that's close enough and far more accurate than any other system I've used. I'm used to the control systems reading colder, not warmer, so I'm quite happy with it. The golden froster systems are fantastic IMO :toast:

Hope it works well for him, and I've been told I got his mum's seal of approval too :woot: so it must be ok :D

Cheers

Gray

Nice work Gray.

Excellent mounting for Value display.

Top notch!!!

Gray you attention to detail is really showing thru !!!!:clap: Those are some top notch units you are manufacturing .:toast: It really show when someone takes pride in their work, keep it up:up: :)

Again nice work mate can't wait to see a nice clean auto for the competition too :stick: :D

Grey, how is the noise level of the SC12CL compared to a NL11F?

wdrzal said it all, great job mate :D

The SC range of compressors are not as silent as NL11F but packs a great punch

Awesome unit :slobber:

I don,t think there will be alot of noise diffrence betweern the SC12CL and the NL11F, The fans in the unit are probably even louder then the compressor itself.

I want one. I want one really bad lol... DROOLLLL:worship:

temps are not different too :D 11 vs 13cm³ and 1/3pk vs 1/2pk

tuned this unit past weekend;)

150W heatload

great job gray :toast:

Wow thank you Walt :) coming from you especially it feels really good. You've probably seen more phase than most people in the world, and I KNOW how picky you are too :D so that's really nice of you to say.

The noise level is almost exactly like the Vapo compressor. It's not really that bad, but audible for sure. With the 240v fans it's a balanced noise though, but really at 65cfm they aren't quiet.

The are ideal for great cooling though. The whole system balanced out really nicely.

I've got some more to get done now too it looks like, and of course Duron's Vapo mod to do, and another 12v vapo and lian conversion, a dual head rotary kit...

lol the list goes on, and just keeps growing.

I think that Fatty, Johann, and Unseen have been the biggest inspirations for me with regard to the attention to detail on the units and making sure they're 'pro quality' or at least as close as I can get.

The extra stuff takes a fair bit of time, but I think it's worth it and even though I don't charge any extra for sleeving the stuff up, and most of it you can't even see :rolleyes: it just 'feels good' when I'm done that the side of the phase case could come off, or a window mod could be done, and there would be something pretty to see.

Thanks everyone, it's really great to get such nice feedback :)

Hey Jort, looks like you're getting virtually the same results with yours as well. The SC series isn't the quietest compressor but it's a very solid one, and hopefully will last a very long time for Robo too.

Hardware comes and goes, but cooling is forever :woot:

Cheers

Gray

totally sexy :clap:

Great work as usual Gray :) :thumbsup:
So, SC12CLX is only as loud as NF5.5CLX? That is nice to hear. (i have one sitting here for mixed gas single stage all brazed up was waiting for gas now waiting for fittings for the tank lol).
Could be viable option for me to put in my lian-li except the cost involved and shipping consideration (the prototype does fit in... but it IS heavier compressor).

Besides that old model of the atom thing on the front, it looks great!:clap:

SC series are pretty darn good compressors. SC12CLX is tad louder than NL11F but it can be abused way more :D I got -44c with 180w and CPEV with that compressorm R402A and a good sized condcer.

how much was it? if it's ok to ask?

looks sweeeeet!! I need to save for a unit, but I just bought another 7800GT... :S couldn't resist

In US around $240 or so I think... I will have to look at my receipt. I only had to wait for 3 months to get mine thanks to some screw ups. (they got 220v one first which i found out 4 days later when I opened it up, etc).

Oh. And people should remember the 50Hz VS. 60Hz here. Acording to Jorts results (impressive BTW ;) ) and what I got with modded Prommy that 150w is pretty much as high load that you can get with Fx55 etc.

Wonderful work Gray, superbly clean :)

Tom

ditto, nice work there gray!

This is my first Unit, And may i say Gray has done a totally awsome job. Thie unit is exactly as i wished for and Gray has been the best of help .Cheers buddy.

At the moment im running a Chip that has the Dreaded Bug, -20oC and 250HTT and it craps its self.

I had a few probs to start which was all my thought, just user error but now its sweet as a nut.

I did my best for a 100% Seal. I sprayed the board with PCB lacker first a few times Front and back covering up CPU and Ram sockets.. I also used a good amount of D-Grease. :)

Thats about it till i find the Dream chip, Its not too bad noise wise either. Im not fussy as i run a good amount of High flow Fans on my Water Setup so its all at a even level.

Cheers once again Gray and the units in good hands Lads. Yippeee :toast:

Thanks mate :D

It's so cool to see 'er in action. I like your bench, it reminds me so much of mine when I was benching away.

You've done an amazing job with your insulation and condensation proofing :woot: I don't think you'll have to worry about that if you do what you're doing on your installs.

Hope I can get back into that soon, I get to make 'em and see the frost but haven't had the chance to use it much for a while :rolleyes:

Looks like it's gone to a good home, and that's the most important thing :toast:

Cheers

Gray

Whoa for insulation.
If you ever have a problem with condensation..
Bah nvm, you wont.

thats some overkill condensation proofing there! you could prolly bench in the shower :p:

sweet

are ya gonna run it 24/7?

Better to be safe than sorry

Yeah i went OTT with the sealing as its gona be run 24/7, also a friend killed a 4800X2 a while back as he went easy on the seal. :slapass:

Im using Artic Silver Ceramic paste as you see, Am i correct using the same amount as on say a normal HeatSink.

I supose i sleep better a night knowing its Sealed as good as i can get it, so if i do get condensation i cant slap myself and wish id proofed it more.:D

Its new partner

Question; what's the stuff on the insulation tube there? is that D-grease? Looks like hotglue :stick:

yes lawrywild, it's dielectric grease, it looks like that when it comes out of the tube.
