Four Simple Rules:
1) No larger than 1280 x 1024 pixel (but 1024 x 768 pixel is preferred),
2) The limit on the number of pictures is 4 per case (if you want to post more than 4 pictures, use thumbnails or post links without using the IMG tags),
3) Do not quote images,
4) Finished cases only, no worklogs.

Optionally, it would be nice if you could list your water cooling components.

It seems that some have not read the rules

Hello Guys,
my last watercooled HTPC build
video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XcMpd_Pp_k









Only the motherboard changed because the previous one was died, but I reorganized the water components.

PC CONFIG:
PSU: Corsair CMPSU-750AX Modular
MB: MSI Z77A-GD65 S115x
CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K 3.4GHz @4.1GHz
VGA: GIGABYTE ATI-AMD HD6970 GV-R697D5-2GD-B 2GB GDDR5 PCIE
RAM: Apacer 4096MB 2000MHz CL9 DDR3 ARES KIT
SSD: OCZ RevoDrive PCI-Express SSD 50GB
HDD: 2x Samsung 500Gb 3,5" HDD Raid0
SOUND: ASUS Xonar D2X PCIE
BLU-RAY DRIVE: Pioneer BDR-205
CASE: Thermaltake DH104 HTPC case

WATER-COOLING components:
PUMP: Laing D5 Solar
CPU: Koolance cpu-340 with socket 1155 mounting
VGA: EK Water Blocks EK-FC6970 full cover
HDD: Watercool Silentstar Dual Box
TUBING: Tygon 3603 19/13
RAD: Watercool MORA2 PRO
RESERVOIR: Koolance 120mm
FANs: 2x Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120 mm for CASE (blowing inwards on reduced RPM) and 1x Scythe S-FLEX SFF21D (800rpm/8.7dBA) for the PSU (reserve airflow blowing inwards).
Fittings: Monsoon Free Center Compression - Chrome, Bitspower Shining Silver Rotary 90°

system gross weight: about 30kg

....absolutely quiet of course.

Have a nice day!

Nice, what are your temps (and ambients) ?

[Logaan]

Thanks!
The temps of this system highly depends on the environmental temperature and the RPMs of the 3 fan. I can set the RPMs manually with the knob on the back side.
In summer, when the outside temp was about 28 celsius than the load (gaming) temp was the following: CPU about 45-50 celsius GPU about 53-58 celsius. Without any tuning and the funs were on lowest RPM.
The minimal temps in idle mode and with 23 celsius outside temp are about 35-38 cesius by the CPU and GPU also (Funs on lowest RPM).
So, there is no problem with the temps at all. It is very good and stable system.

Sorry for my english.

Just built this on Saturday using some of MagisD's old stuff I bought. Sorry for the bad camera pics.





@ VIPER.... Will do when I get home from work. The top can hold a 240 rad BUT you have to use a thin one if you want fans on it. The case is a very nice case though. Very clean and very tidy. Sorry for the bad pic but i have a crappy camera.

Can you post some more pics from the inside, because soon I'll buy the same case

Swiftech APOGEE HD
Swiftech MCP 350
XSPC Reservoir Laing DDC
3 x Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1850RPM

It could be nice to use a 45 degree from GPU to pump ?

[Logaan]

Temps after 1 day IDLE work:
-ambient temp: 22 celsius
-fans on lowest RPM


Edit2:
Temps after 3 hours of Gaming (Medal of Honor Warfighter)
-ambient temp: 22 celsius
-fans on lowest RPM


I'm very satisfied again.
Let me know if you have questions.

Hi Elder,
Nice.
But, I don't understand the logic of the flowing. Sorry.
Can the cooling liquid go through the VGA blocks on this way?

I, too, have gone total parallel with my build recently and seem to be getting a few tiny air bubbles trapped around the cpu inlet. Any tips on bleeding them out other than tapping the tubes?

[LeoAndrade]

Ive tought about all parallel before, but never seen anybody doing it. How are your temperatures? Can you give details on your loop?

[Elder]

I understand that there are many questions about this solution.
I'm not a theorist, I want to try it in practice
and prepared to do so properly.
Someone had to finally take practice tests ... to find answers.

Work in progress, I decided to use a very strong pumps.
Koolance 450 Strong x2
Iwaki RD-30
Swiftech 35X turbo

After testing will present the results.

[LeoAndrade]

@Elder: looks like it's a very non-restrictive loop. Higher flow pumps should get the best results
