Liquid Cooling Case Gallery

[ppost]

I bought it in Performance PCS. You can still buying it in black edition.



Thank's dude
I don't wanna put nickel on my GPU. 9800GX2 will soon go to rent. The 470's in on the way with Koolance block.

PPOST - amazing rig
What about with this empty 5.25'' drive bays? What panels You useing?

I just leave them empty and cover by clear acrylic in the front. The cover is meant to be dismantled whenever water re-filling is needed.
You can see more in my worklog, just opened. Thanks~

Hi, these are my Lian V2000 twins. My wife uses the silver one.
"pictures..."

Wow...amazing ppost! The sheer amount of work you've put in is astonishing. +1 win

Do you design for a living by any chance?

[Danger30Q]

Absolutely amazing V2000s ppost! Extremely impressive - I could spend 5 minutes staring at the pics and still miss something with all the detail you have added.

Glad you like it.....

Used to be. I was trained to be an architect but related more in project management now.

I'm new here, that i would hello to everyone.
Here some pictures of my 3rd revision...

You need to reread the Original post of this thread and edit your thread accordingly.

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3) Do not quote images,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.

You can find the original thread here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=34877 You can re-post your images in this new thread.

Post away!

Note: If we get dead links/red X's, post will be deleted. Let's keep this thread clean!

Anyway to the forum. The build looks alot better then originally.

The PoseidonAS is my case. The AS stands for almost silent. You would think that having a 980X and two 5870s in the same loop on a 240mm rad would be trouble but actually the temps are not bad at all, even under load. At 4.2 on the CPU and 900/1300 on the GPUs, the temps while gaming in something like Crysis are about 54 C on the CPU and 48 C on the GPUs. And I have the fans set to spin at only 600 rpms roughly. Not dead silent, but not far off either. Not nearly as nice as some of the works of art in this gallery (kind of a throwback to the earlier days of watercooling) but here it is none the less. Components:

i7 980X @ 4.2 GHz, ASUS P6T Deluxe Version 2 (BIOS 1003), 12 GB Corsair Dominator @ 1866, 2 x 5870 (Crossfire), Ageia PhysX PPU card, X-FI Titanium Champion Fatalt1y, 2 x 2 Vertex 2 100 GB (RAID 0), 2 x 2 Vertex 120 GB (RAID 0), Seagate 1 TB, Samsung 1 TB, Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W modular, Lite-On iHAS424 24x DVD burner, Pioneer BDR-205 Blue Ray Burner, Swiftech Apogee XT, 2 (two) MCW-80 blocks on GPUs, Thermochill PA 120.2, MCP 655 Vario, Logitech G19, MX Revolution and G7 wireless, Creative Gigaworks 750, Sharp LC-46D85U, Track IR 5 and CH Products Fighterstick, Revised Franken Potato, and Pro Pedals

Case is a big ole Chenming 910 from circa 2003 and had to remove my PhysX card temporarily to make a few changes. After Nvidia treated folks badly by not fixing problems with the 680i, 780i chipsets, canceling support for the Ageia PhysX cards, trying to prevent SLI on X58 chipsets and generally lying about most things GTX 480/470 related, .... they have gradually gotten on my bad side. Each year they continue to fall lower and lower in my opinion, until I wont support their products anymore if there is a decent competitor.

** Snip **

nice

What coolant fluid is that?

[VanillaMoose]

The PoseidonAS is my case...

Nice specs jayhall (to say the least!) and those temps are pretty amazing for just a 120.2 rad... I wonder though...what are your cpu temps after a good few hours of stressing at full load? Have you tested?

Pretty strong views you have of the green team! They've let me down recently, I'd hoped for so much more from fermi.

Oh and loving the flight sim gear!

[jayhall0315]

If I run Prime95 for an hour or so (with the GPUs at idle), the 980X gets up to about 77 deg C or there abouts on all the cores. I am not really a fan or antagonist of any large tech company (Intel, MS, ATI, Nvidia, etc....) but it seems that Nvidia has taken several deliberate steps over the last ~ 4 to 5 years to keep screwing their own support base. I used to own a 680 board and it had several low level engineering problems that should have been fixed before release. Now I have to use a custom hack to get my PhysX card to work with ATI GPUs and then they made Intel drop their chipset license over the SLI crap (until they turned face at the last moment). Finally the GTX 480 stuff (at least from my engineering background point of view) is just deplorable. And with all these actions, they keep upsetting the very enthusiasts who support them with the cold hard cash.

The best flight stuff out (that is aimed at the enthusiast and not the military or the super-rich) is from CH Products.

Sorry for bad picture

Hello everyone, I hope you enjoy these pictures of my sniper project. I got a couple ideas from some cases I saw on these forums so if anyone sees an idea that someone else came up with please let me know so I can give credit. Also I'm wondering if you guys think this loop will support another 5870?

But there fun to look at scgt1. LOL
How long you been running those fans hanging from the upper rad? All the Noise-Blockers i have started having problems hanging like that after a few months.

they have been like that for about 4 months, so far they have had no problems I hope they last!

[Waterlogged]

Noiseblockers and GTS, there's an oxymoron if I ever saw one.

they are the 1800rpm version, is that not a good combination?

[Waterlogged]

Nope. Noiseblockers are only "decent" when used to move air either into or out of the case. When they try to move air through something that offers resistance such as a heat sink or rad, they perform very poorly because they don't have the static pressure needed to force the air through. Add onto that the GTS is a rad that requires a lot of static pressure, something more like a Delta fan can produce to get the best performance from it.

Is there a delta fan that would work good on those rads and still be quiet?

Delta doesn't do quiet.

Working on answering your PM, so hold tight.

I don't agree with that if you look they produce more static pressure then the
Sharkoon Silent Eagle or the Scythe Gentle Typhoon some of the most common fans used for this type of application. Maybe not as much static pressure as the Deltas but not everone wants the noise a Delta fan puts out. Any fan would work better with a low FPI rad.

Really? Maybe you haven't seen this yet?

IIRC, Test was done on a RS120 rad which is about half the FPI than the rads he's using.
