Water Cooled Case Gallery

[Patriote]

i give my hope and best wishes to your dad, that comes first.


next, how hard do you think it is to reach 3.6 on water for an average chip? and will the new batch after the price drops be able to do this or no?

Thanks really appreciate that.

And well, im sure everyone in here will agree that it all depends on the CPU and config you have. Also depend a lot on cooling heh

God you guys have beautiful systems

Hats off to Vicfalc09 and Patriote

Thanks

Hi All! Here's mine!

Case: NZXT Zero (Was on sale)
CPU: A64 3800+ Venice @ Stock (Don't know how to overclock. Don't laugh.)
Mobo: Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe
GPU: HIS x1950Pro @ Stock
Ram: 4gigs of OCZ Plat PC-3200
PSU: Silverstone Zeus 650W
HDD: 1 Lonely 150GB Raptor.
Sound: Audigy 2 ZS


Cooling:

CPU: TDX
GPU: Tyee
Rad: PA120.2
Pump: D5
Delrin T and Fillport.


The Story: She's been in use for a little over a year. The only changes since I built her is both of the x1900's died (Long Story.) and I sold my other Raptor on Ebay for some extra cash I needed for bills. Also It was originally in a CM Stacker 810 but it is currently sitting in my shed in pieces after an unsuccessful modjob (Ran out of money and Patience. Had so many problems with it I gave up.)

Please excuse the horrid wiring job. Its hard to do in this case and im not really worried about it. It's temporary while i work on my wooden cube.

Welcome Spart! And Nice set-up there if you don't look at the cable mess

[Spart]

Lol yeah the cables are awful. it is really hard to manage it in this case. Theres not enough room behind the mobo or the mobo tray for anything hardly. If i get bored tomorrow ill try to fool around with it.

Interesting... my X1900XT bit the dust not that long ago. Under warranty though and they sent me a X1950XT as a replacement. Maybe something was wrong with those cards that caused early deaths...?

I could've gotten them replaced but in my haste to build it last march i threw away the stock coolers when i put my tyee's on. What happened to your 1900? on both of mine the voltage regulator closest to the mobo cracked in half. they were several months apart but it was the same one. Im assuming it was a manufacturing defect. Still an ATi Fan tho!

Those look like the connectors you use for air tools and air compressors.

That's exactly what i was thinking.

Wow, cracked? Maybe too much pressure from the tyee mounting? Mine just was starting to artifact randomly or turn the screen all green (or blue) with streaks of colored dashed lines. Really weird. It would happen sometimes upon bootup, or going from 2D to 3D clocks or back to 2D when getting in or out of a game. If it didn't do it at those times it worked fine, even during hours of gaming, but those switches would make it screw up. Wasn't drivers or directX or Windows, I reinstalled all of those. Only thing I could think of is the card had some sort of problem switching clocks on the fly. So I've been without my card for a couple weeks now This weekend I get my new one though!

Great setup RLM,

Could you send me a few detailed shots of the wiring. How did you route your fan cables?

I'm starting my tj07 w/c build on Thursday, so any input would be great.

Looks good!

Another TJ07 and one more! Nice. Looking forward to yours spider.

Well, I expect two Lian Li rheobus controllers tomorrow and and handful of Papst fans next week. In the mean time it will be (urg) Noctua's on the rad. I'm going to add casters, sound dampening, vibration dampening, lap the CPU, and install all the stuff on Thursday. I'm excited!

I already have a problem. The rear fan wires (92 mm fans) won't reach the fan controller. I can't find extensions. I was thinking of splicing in a few inches of wire so that they will reach. Any suggestions? Again, i want to hide these wires, so that's taking a little extra thought.

Ps I'm going to do a photo work log, nothing special. just a few shots as things progress

No i dont think it was pressure. The voltage reg cooler on the Tyee doesnt use screws it uses the stock spring things from the crappy one. My first x1900 died in October I think. The other one died this january. The funny thing is my master card went first and it was really sudden. I woke up one day and couldnt get a picture out of it. Also when my slave card died i was playing BF2142 and my pc just shutoff like it overheated. I had taken the waterblock off for a good cleaning and put on an Arctic Cooling Accelero. Never got a picture out of it after that. When i pulled the block off about half the volatge reg came off with it and there was that horrid smell of burnt plastic. I was broken hearted :-(.

These things are hitches sealing on each site. So I can uncouple the radiator from the rest of the system by loosing only some drops of water. The flow resistance isn't very low, right, but the flow rate is at all not very important. I prefer to have a bit worse temps than without hitches and the possibility to transport my system for LANs better. With a third pair of these hitches it is also easier to get the water out of the system.
I hope you can understand what I mean .

Cheers Spider, Masaville

Batteries ran out on my camera, but did manage to take one shot. Hope it helps.

Unfortunately I bust my fan controller, so fans are now running off the motherboard.

Look forward to the pics Spider

@Pietach heheh so you desided to snap "few" photos. nice job on the blocks and on the whole WC system.

how long did it take to make those blocks and the reservoir?
