Liquid Cooling Case Gallery

[HuffPCair]

Looks good man and I love that Raven such a beautiful and different case. That and the FT02 are probably going to be my next picks in casing.

HuffPCair: don't be hasty with choosing RV02 or FT02 cases for liquid cooling. With these pics you can easily see, how much case dimensions limits internal radiator choices. With some longer gpus even more so. And there is lack of options for more rads to add internally (i see only 1x120 on top or taking out whole 5.25/3.25 enclosures). External rad mount can solve that issue, but will ruin clean looks. No matter how i like FT02, i'd take it only for air cooling (as less rads = louder fans for same cooling)

Updates:







Another 5970 and a second loop for the vgas are comming!!!

It's just amazing.

I love the contrast between black and green and I like a lot the carbon fiber effect on the graphics card.

¿Can you show more photos of the project? I will be very happy to see each part of the case!

Oh yeah trust me I have already looked into before I bought my rocketfish case off someone.

If I got either I would go back to air cooling. I actually looked into coolers and all that, but decided to stay with what I got right now.

I use a Thermochill Pa120.3 radiator in my Raven 2 case, and theres 3 180mm fans under it, and as you see I could fit 2 120mm fans on top of it aswell, I think thats pretty good space for internal cooling.

You could also fit a 120mm radiator at the top, and use the 5.25" space aswell, so theres plenty of room for cooling.

And the graphic cards I use is 2 Nvidia GTX 280 wich is rather long.

And btw, my fans spin at 900rpm.

The CPU is a Core i7 920 @ 4.1Ghz and full load temps is at 65C.
The graphic cards is at 38C in full load (and they run at 768/1537/2520Mhz).

Huttala: 120.3 is what i'd dedicate for o/c-ed i7 only, and how about cooling sli/cf top end gpus then? And top 120.1 rad would get preheated air by bottom rad. And speaking about long gpu-s i meant 5970. 30+ cm. It will almost touch bottom fans without any rad on it. So with 5970 to place rad on bottom one has to remove original 180mm fans and dustfilters + use slim rads (which all happen to be very highfinned, so cool very bad with slow fans, and needs high rpm/noisy fans for adequate cooling).
It's not that one cannot use LC in RV02/FT02, it's just that one is relatively very limited in doing so. And if i buy case with sights on LC, why shouldn't i choose one that's more spatious, where i have to mod case less to fit more rads internal or compromise in cooling less? To not be limited in choosing PC components is feature in itself too (and what i expect from expensive bigtower).

RV02/FT02 "vertical twin" Lili X2000 actually does better for LC. Mostly because it's 5.25 bays/3.5 disk enclosures are placed different. I recall even recent project about fitting 140.4 rad in it.

That pic looks great! Has a nice surreal effect to it.

[=[PULSAR]=]

nice shot scor what kind of coolant or dye did you use?

[DocGolem]

[seeka12]

DocGolem,you need some serious cable and wire management over there

Doesn't bother me. No window for the case and I have enough airflow, not to mention when I get a new video card it's going to be water cooled so airflow won't mean anything.

Thank's man

Thank You PULSAR, look here

See now your shot makes me want to rethink not using died coolant. :-( I've read that any die or uv coolant can gum up over time. So I was going to go with strickly Distilled water and a kill coil. Now I don't know...........

Looking at PerPCS there are 4 different kinds of the FluidXP Blood Red. :-(

No worries, the Fluid is the best coolant what i ever seen.
Destilled water with Food Color makes the tube cloudy

Yes I've read that also which is why I was just going to use straight distiled water. But after seeing what this stuff looks like.

Well here is mine:

Is that paper over the GPU?

Is that paper over the GPU?

Following his link at the bottom for info on his build brings up this:

Well as my 9800GTXs died i went ahead and got a Sapphire 5870...i didnt realize they stopped making reference cards so the card i got was damn ugly as you will see below, I was going to send it back however that mean more time and money to get a different card etc...so i popped it in my machine and all i can say in terms of performance is WOW..it completely destroys even my two 9800GTX so im happy

here some pics now of it all:

the ugly card-


here it is all together...to cover up the card (and to incorporate the card into the colour scheme) ive temporarily put paper on it in the shape of it lol...looks cheap i know but covers the card until I get a more permanent solution


here it is all together (im very patriotic as you can see hahaha)



thanks, i wouldn't say 100% complete yet though..im most likely going to get some braiding etc etc :P

I edited the photos out to keep on with the image rules of the thread.

And for Welsh you can always take the cooler apart and paint the cooler itself. I've seen it on a Saphire 5770 here I believe. It was which ever card has the red pinstripe down the center. The guy called it the WHITE KNIGHT. He left the red colors like they were and painted all the black white. Looked awsome. Of course with your theme being black and white.......... Although you do have the zig fan and then the blue lighting so.......


Actually it wasn't here it was Overclock.net and the guys name was "Contagion" I'm sure you can message him and get some photos of it.
