4KW!


dual psu adpter


TFC 360 that i already have...




few pumps , but i'll use 355, and not the 655 or D5



and, the anodized res, but i cant use them because of the are made from Alu, why... why the make them from Alu

thanks.

[Crazy V]

Aquacomputer makes the reservoirs out alu, but there are some made of copper or delrin too.

[Vinas]

I predict that rig under heaviest load will pull about 900watt max... So, you're gonna need those 1000w working together to get some good efficiency.

hi all.
i see that i cant edit my post to a poll.
but - i want you to help me:
which color theme will look better on this build?

1. red \ black \ white and brass fitting?
2. blue\ black \ white and brass fitting?
3. blue \ orange or yellow \ brass fitting?

any other combenation is welcome.

[tool_462]

Please, no more red & black builds!

[arkadur]

hi all
i didnt chose the color theme yet,
but - i got a update

my board is here!

my board came without the ECP V3, but probebly i'll get it soon
the Xeon CPU's didnt come with cooler, so i bought the ac freezer 13,
one of them - with a broken fan


the HD4850 is so tiny

i've changed the backplates, very simple and easy with t20 torx key

sorry about the pics frames , i've no time right now..

more updates will come soon.
enjoy

[arkadur]

i've a little update,

i'll order my case next week finally, so my desk will be clean for my other work.
one of my HX1000 PSU, needed a RMA, so i even trdae it to AX1200, defently better for me.

and, i got from Frozen my fullcover block for my MB (hot item - just a 106$!)

here a few pics:

enjoy!

nice...any updates on this?

[Alexandr0s]

Wow, can't believe I missed this ! That's a lot of epic hardware :O!

[[XC] Oj101]

Blue/black/white/brass

Aren't you going to water cool the CPUs? I think you should to do the build justice

Sub'd for being so incredibly over the top

[arkadur]

hey all
probebly i'll order the MM EX-ascension case today.
i've order the MB TRAY only from them - but finally i dont have much time to build my own custom case.
all parts will be water cooled.
CPU - EK HF nickel / plexi top
GPU - EK FC-580 nickel / plexi top

i'll update you guys later.

[fatherTime27]

I cannot put into words how jealous I am

[ScottALot]

Yaaay the EK SR-2 duck-looking waterblock!

[arkadur]

there is a little update. i know that log going slowly. but that better then nothing.
i've ordered the HPTX tray from MM,
for my custom case build.

it seems that the production cost will be more then i thougt. (CNC & waterjet)

so, i'll return to the MM EX-Ascention case. it's the best value for my money.

first stage - get the case, and other hardwere. (GPUs, HDDs)
second stage - get 3 Dell u2311 for the multi display.
thired stage - WC it all

this is the first GPU, more to come soon.


MM tray & bundle


bench table for a while. i need the other case parts.












vantage - all stock.


and, after some twikes, 4GHZ on air. cant wait for the LC.

[Alexandr0s]

Nice job, looks great . Can't wait to see you liquid cool this baby !

[theseeker]

Looking forward to your comments regarding the MB. I really want one but I have not had much positive feedback.

[=[PULSAR]=]

Can't wait to see the finished product My SR-2 is finally going in a case the MM Pinnacle 24 and Pedestal arrived this evening, WC power with 2x Thermochill 120.4's

[arkadur]

thanks for the comments !
the pinnacle is nice - but is too small .
i'm going on 2X RX360 for the CPUs.
2X TFC360 for the GPUs
1X RX360 for the raid controller + MB + RAM

i need the space for the HDD farm.

[acutech]

Amazing build arkadur, can't wait to see more!

[arkadur]

Hello my friends !

after long time without updated, the project continuous,

the big issue was the case for this build, i really wanted a MM cube, but that was too expensive, i tried some pre owned cases, but the final price was not cheap too.

now. i've see this baby on Frozen :
the new Lian Li PC-Z70

http://www.lian-li.com/v2/en/product..._index=138&g=f







now, i'm going on dual PSU inside, and, i'll build external box or stand for the rads.

what do you think?

[hillywav]

i think its doable, the loop going to be in single though

[Havokator]

def a tight fit

[arkadur]

hello,
after a long time with no update, this project came from the death.
until now, i've worked with my lian li PC-Z70, that done great work on air.



then, with a small update, i replaced the DELL PERC5I raid controller with other GTX580 (Zotac), both now reference design.


in the past time, i got some extra HDD's, extra DOMM's, new monitors, new house and new wife






workstation :

befor:



after:




in connection with the case issue.
i've tried to get used MM case, but got nothing.
a new one - is too expensive right now,

so, i got simple sketch - let me know what do you think:

1. you can see the lian li PSU brackets
2. i know that the GPU's are 560 (cant find any 580)
3. this is not finished yet. still need to make a choice of the rad positions (2XTFC360+1XTFC240+2XMCR240+1XBLACE ICE 360+ HWLABS X FLOW 240)
4. cube size is 50WX50DX70H CM, maybe turned to 60CM D.
5. i already got the MM HPTX MB Tray.

OK, i was sleeping for a while with this project,
but now, the dream come true,

















more to come - soon
