Gettin started on Wc build ( 56k beware )

[disruptfam]

hey fellaz....

I'm going to chuck a single rad on the back..120mm fan take out the nb out my cpu and do a 3rd loop with nb sb and maybe hd's if it can handle it .I'm thinking of purple for the colour or maybe another blue loop.What do you guys think don't bother? overkill?

cheers

p.s i'll fix my cpu block while i'm at it and sell my b3 cpu for a q6600 g0

[Patriote]

LOL Calm down m8! You'll be totally fine with your current set-up for a while. Maybe say a months lol but you just finished. Look around, make sure not to do things wrong and take your time. I remember i was exactly like you. I had just finished my first build with the Swiftech Ultra Apex kit and already, i wanted a PA120.3...

PS: Don't watercool your HDDs. It's useless. There is overkill and there is useless.

Lol okaaaaay i'll stick with my current setup for the time being.... i just thought when i drained my cpu loop and fixed my cpu block.I would change it then i have spare 120rad laying around and i wanted to change it now rather than later.But i guess it's ok for now

cheers patriote

[disruptfam]

to give me something to do this w/e.I'm going to do my the middle section of my case to mirror finish,cut my panels and cut and paint my mesh.

that will keep be busy for awhile

[Patriote]

LOL Dude, you are exactly like me, it's funny as hell. Every time i have a project that i am working on, it takes a week or so and when it's finished, i feel like bored... Like i gotta do something so most of the time, i Overclock and fine tune my stuff.

[disruptfam]

well i overclocked my q6600 (b3) to a casual 3.2ghz i can go higher but the ambient's are over 30c atm so my temps are getting too hot.What's the highest temp that's safe with my quad.Atm i'm 55c-56c under load prime and i'm trying to overclock my g80 but rivertuner is not working,i'm using vista 64bit by the way any idea's?

cheers

[Patriote]

Bah, i think you can go higher in temps for your Quad. As for Rivatuner, i think it's a wonderful program but i used XP when i used it.. SO can't help you with Vista. Hell, i have never tried Vista...

[disruptfam]

okay what load temps should i stay under you think? 70c?

cheers

[dr4gon]

Maximum I'd say definitely stay under 65°C I keep my G0 under 64°C while folding, but it does sometimes peak when my ambients get a little hot.

According to the Intel Thermal Design specs I think the G0 can withstand hotter temps over the B3 but I'm really not sure what's a safe range for it.

[disruptfam]

cheers under 65c will do..

[SpaRat1k]

Sorry fellaz havent posted any updates in like a month.I had to swap out my dual and triple rad for two slimline triple rads due to lack of space and i only got my case last wk finally!

I'm thinking of going a similar route with my first water cooling setup. Please expand on radiator fit in regards to the Lian Li.

Well both my triple rads measure @

390mm 120mm 35mm l x h x d and that fits exactly tricia @ radiical was very helpful on getting me the right size radiators.

I originaly bought 2 rads before i purchased the case.That didn't fit

It all depends on your setup.In my particular case i have a thermaltake 850w and i had 400mm to work with in the bottom section,length wise.With the v2000 you have 240mm to work with from the bottom to the middle divider.

I suggest purchasing your preffered case 1st, then measuring where you want to put your rads.

Then check the dimension's on the radiator or radiator's you plan to put there.

hope this helps any other question's i will be happy to anwser

cheers

I'd say go for it, that is if you have most of the parts already.

Maximum I'd say definitely stay under 65°C I keep my G0 under 64°C while folding, but it does sometimes peak when my ambients get a little hot.

I agree with this, but one thing you have to take into account is how hot this summer is going to be. Since we've already had an extreme winter by our standards, I'm expecting the summer to be insanely hot.

Looks like I'll have to try something different with my setup, I have the gigantic enermax psu . Might sell it now.

I have a rad and a res but not pump

Also got spare tubing lying around and heaps of zipties for clamps....

Yeah i know,its starting to get hot already i have my quad @ 3.2ghz i will keep it there for the time being.My temps are decent so when summer hits, i should be right.Do you have a v2000 aswell? You could still fit a double and triple ontop of the double in a similar fashion to mine, even with you enermax....

Depending on what rads you have or going to purchase though.

cheers

[disruptfam]

hey fellaz

i'm getting some uv blue and green cable ties to use as clamps on my barbs.Should i put the blue in the green loop and the green on the blue loop or keep them the same colour.

I was also thinking of purchasing some uv sata cables(black ones look plain) what do youse think 2 much uv in there???

cheers

[Jedda]

Don't ask me. I'm not into the light-show thing at all.
I would put your blue on blue and green on green, with the ties, though.

Yeah i didnt end up using them on my tubing looked weird imo,just sticked with black ties...

k got some modders mesh in still waiting on more stock from gam.Updates soon....

[disruptfam]

ok i'm back my ram died....so while it's in the rma process....

i decided to fix my cpu loop up..... take the nb block out and do a 3rd loop to the case...nb,sb and ram (maybe) cooled by a 120 rad...

I'm waiting on the accelerator nozzle's to come out before i put the cpu loop back 2gether....

here's my case as it is now.took all the hardware components out and drained the cpu loop



have more update's soon

cheers

[Patriote]

Where you got the accelerator nozzles? It's for the FuZion right ?

[kinghong1970]

ok i'm back my ram died....so while it's in the rma process....

*cough* bull *cough*

you just needed another reason to take your system appart, right?



have fun!

lol...... nah seriously my ram died and i can't use my computer until i get it back approx 2 weeks.....So 2 weeks is plenty of time to do the stuff i wanted to do first time around but didn't get around 2....

And for the record my ram dying wasn't necessarily a bad thing haha

[disruptfam]

I don't have the accelerator nozzles yet but i heard there coming out within the next 2 weeks...waiting on them before i put my cpu loop back together....yes there for the fuzion.

i will be getting mine from radiical.com.au

[Jedda]

Where to put a third pump is the issue for me and a third loop.
Like you, there's room for a single rad and with the summer we're expecting and EK about to release a 680i MOSFET block, it's very tempting.

[disruptfam]

im putting my third pump in my drive bays.... under my reservoirs...

I had my hard drives there...but i'm going to put them above my psu..cut the hd cages that came with the case drill a few holes and mount them there.

Yeah if ek bring's out that mofset block out soon...i'll put it in the third loop..Did ya get those sketches to him>??

I'll be using ek block's on the nb,sb and vrm's(when come out)

cheers
