Wow... thumbs up to Sc4mpi

coolermaster s4000 sx1

Is that case still produced or is it discontinued and no longer for sale? I had a hard time finding one online.

just got a new mobile with a camera , 6131



using a X600 pro till my X1900 arrive

no peace not yet finish bleeding that but with mcres-micro should be no problems within 24 hours.

SaFrOuT very nice clean setup you got there... also nice resolution to that mobile camera... will wait to see more pics of that setup together with some temps from eqypt...

It already finished the bleeding but the stupid barbs of the micro leeked and all most of the liquid leeked out and air got into the loop. Been full of bubbles since. O.O

Haven't bothered to refill it since it doesn't hurt the temps at the moment and I'll be redoing myset up in the next week or two.

NoPeace - out

Here's my Coolermaster 201 ATC from 3 years ago:



Unfortunately it's not in the state as shown above anymore and now I have a Silverstone TJ03B which I'll be watercooling soon

Is that 1/2" tubing? It looks thicker than usual.

i actually replaced mine with some DD g1/4 1/2ID fittings i had spare...

[Cybertronic]

DragonOrta, indeed it's 1/2". It's probably the clarity of the tubing that makes it look bigger

Thanks for the comment Xeon th MG Pony!

I added an DD NB Z waterblock in that loop but the pictures I took a while ago have disappeared

Here's what I've got.

MAIN VIEW W/ FLASH


DRAM


MAIN VIEW DARK ROOM


AND... MOUSE



The cooling system is:
1. 2 identical WB's (CPU & GPU), pure copper, Sugar4o made.

2. Golf2/AUDI heatercore w/ 2x120mm Deluxe fans @ 2000rpm. Sonn to change them with 2 AC ArcticFan12 @ 1500rpm. The rad is on the back of the case. Pics soon.

3. Reimatic 10x2mm tubing. Quite hard, difficult to swing and twist. Soon Reimatic 10x1.5mm.

4. Home made res. All glass, only cover is plexy. Sealed.

5. Distilled water w/ anti-freeze 15:1 and 2 green UV text markers .

PS: I'm a camera idiot . Don't kill me.

a new cable job maybe? everything else is great

There you go Laing DDC-1 plus & plexi top & plexi res in full glory.

Look at the whirlpool in the resevoir, at least if static picture can show. Laing DDC-1plus (new revision) does deliver serious water punch, as flow rate is really (and visibly) high. You may notice that I'm using the plexi bay cover too (on the case) - so now there is a proper "window" at the front and case is properly closed too. Other parts are X1900XTX + Edvard König EK-FCX1900 & X2 3800 + Swiftech Storm. As I don't like the cluttered tubing, I'm keeping the minimal connection distance. That SilenX blue fan on the left is cooling the A8N-SLI Premium chipset. As you know, this motherboard have passive chipset cooling (when you are using CPU fan). In my case, I had to improvise ... by attaching it to the Storm water block - but it's working quite well and fan is almost silent. That black fan just beneath the X1900XTX is the VREG cooling leftover from the 7800GTX and it's not used now. It's there just in case You may notice the advantage when you can use the barbs on the both side of the EK water block. It's improving the flow and there is much less clutter, because of the straight tube lines. Tubing in question is Tygon R-3603.


Here is the front case look with the normal, dimmed desk light:




On the top of the case I have DD FillPort. You will notice that I'm using the Fillport & PlexiRes ... just for fun. It's convenient way to top-up the coolant, without opening your case or even accessing the reservoir (as picture with funnel can show you). I used it with great success and you can even fill & bleed the system. Neat! Pics:




Here is the outside of the case, where the tubing goes to the radiator:



Here is the order:

Swiftech bracket + fan vibration dampener + 35mm fan + vibration dampener + shroud + PA160 (cross flow) set-up. It's extending the case a bit, but it's not visible and I have plenty of space in the back of the case. Build and attachment is sturdy and reliable. No problems there. Fan is dead silent. Slow RPM & 35mm depth helps a lot


Here is the climate control system:



Of course, mCubed T-balancer XL + miniNG control units. They are taking care that temperatures are optimal and at the same time dynamically controlling the fans and DDC pump speed, according to the temp probes (including the coolant probe). Generally, they are monitoring the coolant temperature, DDC pump rpm/flow rate and environment temperatures. MiniNG is capable to handle up to 20W per channel, and that is just enough for the new 18W DDC version. Also, sensor hub is capable to power off the system in case of the pump failure/low water flow or critical temperatures. Clever huh


Lights off - final look with side panel, multiple angels:




Bright ambient light:




Back/side of the PA160, side of the case and water temp probe on the Y-line, just before the PA160 inlet:




Few comments about my side panel. Center (window) of the panel is detachable and replaceable with single aluminium panel (so that you can have all-aluminium side panel version). I hacked that detachable part a bit, so that I have a soundproof panel version and I can now easily replace the window (in case that it's not needed or if more silence is prefered) with this:



It's coated with AcoustiPack foam blocks (with the anechoic surface)


Daylight, camera flash on. Laing DDC-1 plus & plexi top & plexi res:



Notice the red impeller of the new 18W DDC-1 plus. Also, you may notice the AcoustiPack foam blocks just beneath the pump itself. They are absorbing the pump noise, additionally. Of course, there is just enough clearance so that pump can cool itself properly.


Daylight, case pictures (front):

DVL73, I must say Nice Rig! But also Nice job on taking thoses PIcs! Some are really not good at taking pics at all in here but you did some ncie job ...lol :P

[Unrealer]

[NickS]

Hehe I'm pretty much redoing my whole loop parts wise cept one of my rads, res, & CPU block. Heres the first part I recieved today, for the new loop.

[JoeBar]

Very nice work DVL73!
Pls get rid of the crappy DDC res.

This is not retouched at all...

[ferrari_freak]

@ DVL73: Dude that looks wicked sick, total pwnage (at least cosmetics) but yes, please do replace that DDC res with a real res and a normal Alphacool DDC top.

@ Hungry: As posted in your thread, it looks nice, but you should check out that T connector and switch it out with a Y connector so that the block recieves some flow.

@DNottis: I can see someone likes UV lol

@DVL73: i love it... very very very nice job...

[DVL73]

@ferrari_freak & @JoeBar

I did put the disclaimer (in the main post) that I'm ready to sacrifice the substance for a style, as I really like the res look, with the bay window in front apart from the fact that practically I can revert back to just T-line + Fillport (my previous set-up) and plexi top.

It's so relaxing watching all that pretty blue water rushing in & jumping in the plexires It's effective to, as it gives "dynamic" (may I say alive) PC look. I had couple of (non technical) friends at my place and they were stunned with the PC. Couldn't take their eyes from it for a loooong time. Yes, I know it's just a "bling", but hey, I guess that I still believe that it's possible to mix the fashion & form, even when we are talking about the uninsping PC.
