[Gallery] Show us your Liquid Cooled SFF Build!

[iHannes]

SFF builds is on the rise, and now days you'll be able to build some highend PC's with SFF. Therefore more and more LC'd builds are showing up and it would be a blast if we could have this place to exchange our experience and solutions so eventual problems.

I would like to see your watercooled SFF build! This would be the place for you to post your work in progress, your finished build or just a place to get inspired.

Some rules to keep this thread tidy and nice.

• Maximum of 4 pictures/post
• Maximum resolution 1000x1000px
• 1 post/build/page, this is not your worklog, we don't want your build spammed all over this place. But please update us with your major progress from time to time.
• No doubleposts! Edit your posts and use multiquote!
• Do not quote images!
  Please respect these simple but important rules!

(If you got some thoughts about the rules, please PM me.)

___________________________________________

I'll start by showing you this picture of my project Echo, and I'm not going to hotlink to my buildlog now, I don't want you to think that I start this thread to promote my build.

Here's the picture, now post yours!

Love it screamer! You use two different pumps in those pictures, don't you? The first, the EK one, is it the 4.0? Do you have any plans on doing some more modding to the case, like you've done on your Lian Li?

SFF = Smal Form Factor, probably ITX or like Screamers build, just smal. ^^, It depends on what it means for you and I'm not that picky. The smaller the more awesome I think it is. And if it's full of LC components then it's even better.

[Screamer]

Yes, first pump was EK, now is Laing. I plan to add a better graphic card and change the color

[craigbru]

Nice rig Screamer! This thread is a great idea iHannes. I'll make a post a little later with a few of my builds...

[Johnny87au]

Nice screamer, always been a fan of ur loops...

[Waterlogged]

Might as well lock the topic afterwards because very little is going to measure up to those.

[Nashaz]

My little addition to this thread. Thinking of redoing it with one of the ITX lian li cases featured in cebit...

Alright, seeing forward for it.

Thank you, I'm seeing forward for your builds!

I'm not sure when this became a competition? But yes, Craigbru's build are awesome!

Awesome dude! Did the hardware fit without modding?

[shazza]

Great job on all the builds posted so far. My guess is we'll see in general, a nice level of expertise with water cooled SFF builds - it certainly takes some skill to get everything in the small case!

[Nashaz]

Awesome dude! Did the hardware fit without modding?

Thanks m8!... Actually there were tonnes of mods to it over the course of 2+ years. The only thing that did fit w/o any mod was the mobo.
But if you are interested in the full log, its here, though rather lengthy...

rmorse27: since when antec 1200 is Small Form Factor case?

I'll check it out! really interesting build. Love how clean it is.

Since some of you have posted your rigs I guess I post some more shots. I haven't a case yet, so it's only the MB that's SFF so far. But next week I'll receive the Fractal Design Array.





Buildlog, tho I haven't really started the building yet, Project Echo.

I want more pictures! Not only of finished builds but also shots of how and what you cool with LC. I've heard sharing is caring.

[Waterlogged]

I'm not sure when this became a competition? But yes, Craigbru's build are awesome!

Oh, it's not. . .I know that. It's just that after he posts his stuff, all the other rigs will hardly be noticed.

Nice choice on the MoBo, got one coming myself.

With any luck I'll have a few rigs to post in here. . .eventually.

It's nice to look at. Haven't been able to test it yet. :P

You'll have to post it! ..Eventually!

Since this thread is kind of dead I'm attempting to revive it through breaking most, if not all the rules I've set for this thread. SFF IS on the rise, and many of you should atleast have been attempting to LC your little beasts. Here's some sugar for you to post your own rigs! And Waterlogged, I'm still waiting your stuff!

Edit: Thread is alive and well, no need for me breaking my own rules.

[Waterlogged]

Snip. . .And Waterlogged, I'm still waiting your stuff!

I do apologize iHannes. After flip flopping on the actually case for over a week, I sort of forgot about this topic. I have finally settled on the case (for now anyways) and should have something posted in the coming weeks as my project time is very limited ATM.

[lowfat]

Should be able to add my PC-V352 to this thread in the next few weeks if all goes well.

[NaeKuh]

it certainly takes some skill to get everything in the small case!

you have no idea how much harder it is to wc a sff.

I stopped doing this a while back, because i stopped using SFF's.

But the term think out of the box literally applies in some work jobs.

Anyhow i stopped using SFF's for water, because i realized, when i go SFF, its not a 24/7 machine.

And a pump is not the best eq to put inside a computer with a lot of on and off cycles per day.

[Elpy]

This thread makes me wanna build a SFF and put my parts from the full tower into it . Nice pc's. It's really impressive putting that stuff in such a small case.

Ah, man! You have time to monitor the whole LC forum but not time to build your PC! Now thats just excuses! Seeing forward to it tho!

Awesome, seeing forward to your build bro!

It's not worth it if your not doing it for the challange, thats for sure! But if you pull it off you'll get so much for it!

If you're up for the challange then I say GOGOGOGO!

[UrbanSmooth]

Go go Gadget Gaming PC!
