Project "Little Angel": My return to water cooling!

[Pinwmpires]

Yeah.. its pretty much.. well.. awesome

[SoMBrA]

Thank you Pinwmpires!

I did some work tonight, not the best picture so please forgive me!



I was planing how to connect the top radiator to the Aquaero 5 since I bought the waterblock aswell... Loop is getting busy!

I couldnt just "throw" a pipe down because other devices will interfere with the fittings / tubing so I had to reroute the loop outside the 5 1/2 "cage"

My friend Michael inspired me with his holes for wire management! Thank you barfastic



It was really hard to measure from the inside to make it a perfect straight "pipe"...



Measurement was done from the inside but the hole must be done from the other side because my drill is way too big to do it from the inside!



DONE, fingers crossed...



Outside looks good, not sure if I was accurate enough...



Just perfect!



Very happy with the result!
Now need to repeat the process at the Aquaero 5 bay...



Done!
Now I need to link the holes, I will build a bitspower bridge!

More tomorrow

[Edited]

BITSPOWER BRIDGE SOUND AWESOME! Need a cutout in the panel just for that, so everyone can see!

Awesome work as usual. SoMBrA!

Thanks Edited!
Let me introduce you my bridge!



Some fittings to make the bridge



All together... now into the case



Perfect fit!



Now I need to link the bridge with the Aquaero 5...





Will try to do that tomorrow!

Holy fuggin batman thats neat!

[SoMBrA]

Thank you my friend!

I'm following your work also but post some pictures soon!

[Acesi7]

That does look very neat.

But why not use Crystal Links? Might have been cheaper also? This might be my personal preference though, I like to see the liquid in the loop.

Great work non the less, hope mine eventually turns out half as good!

I did not use Crystal Link because I did not have any hehe.
Also I think Crystal links are very nice but if you plan to use Dye and I'm not...

Good luck with your build, if you need any help you know where to find us!

Update time:



I've managed to hardpipe with bitspower fittings from the wall adapters to the Aquaero 5 waterblock



Bitspower puzzles!



Done!





Finally I had to use some extra bitspower fittings as "spacers" because It was impossible to use 19/13 fittings (they were way too big and the waterblock screws were intefering)





I think some crystal link to finish the connection would look good, but since I'm not using any dye I will stick to fitting + tubing to close the loop (from Aquaero 5 to the reservoir)

[SoMBrA]

I'm waiting for some critical parts to finish the build, while waiting I will show you how my EK reservoir is going to look...





Golden stop fittings of course!

[SoMBrA]

Hello everyone!
I have some updates!



I planned this midplate long time ago and I already had it at home for almost 2 months but I couldn't use it because still had to measure where to fit the reservoir + pump + SSD's etc..



Here is the first hole, this will help me to connect the pump + reservoir combo with the lower section



First cut done, now planing how to connect the lower section with the top section again to continue with the loop.

Also need to do some holes to allow GPU wires to connect to the graphic cards...



More cutting for this evening!

[theseeker]

Very nice work all around and the bridge idea is great.

[SoMBrA]

Thank you theseeker!



Midplate ready!



Trying some fittings to see which ones fits better





Midplate to radiator closeup pics



Second bottom radiator has a flow meter and inline water temperature sensor!





Tomorrow more!

[RCG_Bex]

Wetter than the fifty shades series

I really need to finish unpacking and do mine

[SoMBrA]

Hey Bex, we are here waiting for your build!
I hope to see some updates anytime soon!

More pictures of one of the custom pieces I was waiting!



Front



Back





Heatsink... what for?









50mm fans connected in series



Doing some tests with cables



Sleeved!



So this is the final design for the Dual 35x pedestal and I really love it!







I plan to add a sensor between the pumps and the heatsink and see what temperature reading I get!

More coming soon! :rock:

Getting neater and neater! I'd love to have your budget roof lol!

Good work, SoMBrA!

sick I love your designs , kudos

Thank you Edited!
Since this was a long term project it allowed me to spend some extra money hehe

sick I love your designs , kudos

Thanks diestje!

Here is the last custom piece I ordered.
I wanted a housing for my dual PSU starter so we decided to work on something unique, and after all the hard work and e-mails this is what he made, enjoy:





I will put those holes you see there in a good use, I will show you later.



This is the PCB that I will install inside the enclosure.



Ready to be installed



Installed!



Ready to be connected!!

[MasterOfTheReal]

Hey could you link to the wire you used for the PSU you told me on the "other" forum but I couldn't see it anywhere =)

[editor22]

Great to see it all coming together

[SoMBrA]

Hello Editor22, nice to see you around here
I've just installed the PCB, hope you like it

About the wire I bought it at chilledpc.co.uk long time ago



The custom piece is fixed directly to the radiators (into the fan threads) and the rad sits on top of the two radiators.



Those big holes are to allow tubing to pass and will help me to fix the tubing in place and avoid "dancing tubing" inside the case



Here the connector and the extenders ready to recieve the tubing!



The end is near, stay tuned! :rock:

Fantastic way to route the tube! Stunned!

Thanks my friend

After so loooooooooooong and lots of hours and money I can say that Little Angel is almost finished, 90% that is, let me show you some picture before I show everything else but need to repaint some stuff

Hope you like them as much as I did taking them









Thanks for following the work, the end is near

[zalbard]

The last shots look incredible. Well done!
