External Setups - Curious on your thoughts

[bentleya]

Have you thought any more on which Pump / Res - Pump/Res Combo?

[OC Maximus]

something interesting - radbox knitted from zip-ties?!!

no im still thinking on that.

i would need to see the case so i can get an idea of how i can fit stuff.

Package not expected to arrive until the 10th.
Unless Tim can speed things up for me. :P

The shell has been ordered, its now a waiting game.

[OC Maximus]

This is going to be pretty interesting......

[NaeKuh]

DOE im kicking myself in the butt..
After i finalized my order i noticed koolance had these guys:



Your asking what is that guy? it allows me to connect that guy to the rear of the exos shell:


Like this:

And should allow me to connect all my fans and pump internally on its OWN PSU.
Provided i can find a decient 2-3amp 12V AC/DC psu.

Like this:

Cool. Didn't know of such existing. Condolence with missing single order train. What does that serial port do? Let's controll fan voltage/speed?

koolance made the other side into fan headers and a temp probe.

So if i use that i wouldnt need to fit a psu internally.

[OC Maximus]

Cool!

Wow thats wicked,Having a external/internal watercooling loop ha, cant wait to see some what u have in mind, I've always wanted to do something like this but i've never had the gear to actually do it..
Im quite confused, u have a 480 top but only fits a 360 rad?

[Waterlogged]

. . . . . .Greaaat, yet another project you won't finish.

From what I understand, the bigger top with a smaller rad will allow for more components to fit inside the top. Res, pump, psu, fan controller, ect......

Perhaps my external box I built years ago may give you ideas:

I have been thinking lately about making a box for an external set up that could sit under my monitor or maybe be hidden. Something that could fit say 2 3x120 or 3x140 rads, and a pump or 2. If done right I think it could look good and help clean up a case, most seem to be done poorly though.

No disrespect toyou NaeKuh but just an fyi to the new guys. AFAIK, unless koolance have changed the exos construction, they have aluminium internals. bad choice due to galvanic corrosion.

Um, read post #24, it might explain things more clearly.

Ah. My bad. Those Exos units scare me.

Well he has assured me that he is going to finish, if not it will just sit under his bed collecting dust.

That's a lovely reassurance .

Naekuh,
The thing i mentioned earlier arrived today:
Here
It will have one of the Benches used in this thread to sit on top:
Here

I want to use mostly Koolance fittings and so i might be harassing you for a look-see later on if you dont mind.
I dont want to get "Aigo'd" again. ;P

[Church]

affiliate13: that dimastech waterstation is seriously Xtreme
3 quads(!) + one double. Daemn (c) Naekuh

[NaeKuh]

got note that little black box isnt wired the same way as the shell,

so im gonna have to go route on a SFF psu internally, and use a bitspower power station to distribute the power.

However im even thinking possibly fitting a tmp-200 internally.

Anyhow guys, im gonna meet up with vapor this weekend.
This should be fun.

Still, I might just get me one to play with to see if I can figure it out. Already got a shroud and base for a 3 fan rad that I can put it on. . .and, I do know enough to be a danger to myself in electronics.

Oh, and please tell me that no LN2 will be involved in the meeting with Vapor?

[SlackerXL]

check this out for a similar
but somewhat smaller construction
(2 x 360 rads+ 2 x mcp655)
it surely provides a lot of space
but once the rads and all parts are in
it becomes to heavy to move around...
wheels or casters are a necessity
and extensive use of aluminum (something i didn't do)
would also help in this matter

[Church]

Eek. Is it necessary to quote all pics? :/

I recently got an exos-2.5 for my GTX 470s and am really happy with it..




I know the rad is alum... I have their nickel coated blocks and their fluid.. should be fairly safe.. for a while. my top fans on the TJ09 go in, so I am not pumping hot air into the exos.. the heat that pours out of the exos when I run OCCT gpu test is impressive.. the amount and the speed at which it goes from luke warm to very warm.. happens in seconds..

edit: I went external because I wanted to just add some water cooling easy like to my setup.. I had a koolance / lianli case before and liked it a lot.. the exos sits on my case well and so far I am very happy with it.. the case looks kind of large now but oh well.. having a full custom internal wc setup does look more slick but this was shockingly easy to add to my existing setup.. and I didn't want to rebuild my whole pc to retrofit some wc..
