Water Cooled Case Gallery

Ok thanks, I have a drill, after work I will go grab that hole cutter, and then take measurements for the holes.

How did you guys get that part done? Ex: Process in which you traced the holes, and the drilling holes to mount the rad to the case. I guess thats my biggest concern is how you lined it all up.

set square, ruler and i made a template by joining all the individual shrouds together (before thermochill offered a complete single solution like they do now)

mask off the area first and use a pencil to mark it all out

simple stuff

BAcon, long time no see mate. been a while sense u have paroozed the water section.

hey maxx, yeh im skint after uni so had to sell my dell 2405 (only had it a month but i wanted to play) and then the water to our friend cashman, it wasnt a huge amount of hassle just fancied a change back to air with some cash to start covering some of the overdraft

i may venture into water again next year when i have some more cash to spend....

also noticed cathar selling (?) his G4 design to swiftech

good move for the unlucky people not forunate enough to grab a g4 earlier this year

i do read here from time to time, just dont post too much

Yeah, I was talking to you.

So, did you need to buy anything special to mount it, or did it come with the TDX?

I was complementing your nice wiring job!

I agree, Trice gets an "A" on wiring from me

I want my future WC system to look similar - short, direct, and thick lengths of tubing, none of that skinny stuff with slack throughout the case...

[Trice]

Oh thanks!

Yeah the TDX comes with a long screw like shaft that you place in the MB holes. Under that you screw on a little locking nut, put a washer under that, and then its just a matter of screwing it down. Really easy

Masking tape on where you want to cut and then lay it out on there , cut thru tape...

Think of hole saw as cup w/ teeth, hole in center of cup mounts to arbor (central stalk that cup screws onto, then put the whole thing into the drill like giant bit) Arbor also has pilot drill point to center the hole saw, drill pilot hole first.

CLAMP IT DOWN. DRILL AND SAW GENERATE ALOT OF TORQUE and YOU dont WANT to SCREW UP your CASE do YOU?

My Rig...

[EnJoY]

That is wicked sexy.

[Trice]

Yeah that looks good, but do the 90 deg angles mess with the flow rate much?

It's aquacomputer, it never had much flow to begin with.

[EnJoY]

Yea, it's basically looks, would slightly better load temps than decent air. It's their style that gets ya...

[eBoy0]

My rig.... changing EVERYTHING, going phase in next few days. Got 2 double hc's for sale. Pm Me =) Pictures are kinda old, i did some wire managements since i put it together in a hurry and got a CM mobo blower. And there's a second double hc in the grate on the bottom the case. Temps high 30's cooling a 3700+ Sandy at 1.65v at 260 x11/x3 1:1.

[Trice]

Oooooooooo that looks nice, nice ugly wires though haha jk.

You will like the phase changing Im sure.

[Playful_Buffalo]

bullit that is hott

donno if you were talking to me but it seems like i'm the only one w/ the wires. Yah like i said those are old pictures, and most of the wires coming from the psu are managed, only the LED wires are a jungle!

[Peen]

not in my case right now

[ferrari_freak]

bullit that is hott

Agreed 100% dude!!!


eBoy0, that looks nice too. And I agree, wire management would have made it look a lot better.

Usama aka Ferrari Freak aka dude drooling at bullit's big XS entrance

[Trice]

Yeah these look really great!

Fillport:

Now you see it


Now you dont


Token full shot of system



WB closeup



About HALF of the god damn tubing i wasted just trying to cut and peice together the system... what a pain in the ass



omg my rooms a mess





System breakdown:

AMD64 DangerDen TDX
DangerDen Heatercore w/ shroud (fan will be a Panaflo U1A until a suitable replacement is available)
Clearflex60 1/2"ID / 3/4" OD tubing
Swiftech MCP655 pump
T-Line
DD fillport (totally unnecessary, but kinda nice)

Is your flow setup right? I thought it was from pump to the rad.

[Nettwerk]

Is your flow setup right? I thought it was from pump to the rad.

Flow order doesnt matter as long as its not pump>res lol.

[bullit]

pump»»rad»»CPU»»Chipset»»Vga»»Aquatube (res)and netwerk on a low flow 90 degreees doesn´t make a diference and my temperatures are (with 26 Ambient)36 idle and 46 in load (1.5Vcore)

mine? its pump->CPU->Rad->pump


as was mentioned above i dont think it would really make a difference.. especially considering its a small loop

no no.. I mean the pump going to the res first then out to the blocks

Yeah, youre probably right, mines a bit different, mine goes Pump, rad, cpu, gpu, through T, to pump
