Project hard lined.

[krullet]

that is a nice ing mod, really nice work man, i love to see theese threads with lots if pix...keep it up !!

[-Acid-]

looking great

[jaguarking11]

Thanks guys. Apreciate it.

[smut]

Hey man, I just read the whole thread, nice work your doing. Cant wait to see the finished product like everyone else has already said!

[santica]

Looking nice, like the copper pipes!!

[Jort]

Thanks for the encuragement guys. Here is a small update for you.

My fan reversed to the correct way and a little nose cone action.

now the fan is pushing air into the case you know that?

if yes don't mind then

btw GREAT mod you pulled off!!

Its on the correct way. The rear and front fans pull air in. The top rad exausts the air, as does the psu.

Thanks for the compliment. And the mod isnt finished yet.

dude .... 1 degree difference on loaded temps ... pwnage man .... awesome job

[Eastcoasthandle]

I take it that the copper piping can also help cool the fluid as it passes through? 2

eh, i think the best ansewr is "kind of" it certainly wont insulate it like plastic tubing, but its really not enough surface area to make a difference.

Great mod dude, for some strange reason I like the contrast of the polished case and the unfinished radiator (it reminds me one of those mad max vehicles
Keep updating!

Correct++++


@npk
Thanks bud. Will do.

I believe people put those kind of spikes/feet on speaker boxes to minimise distortion or something ridiculous :P

I have to ask, how did you modify the DigiDoc like that? is there a guide or somewhere I can buy it like that? Also, does it control fans or just monitor them?

Sorry for the thread hijack...I love the case!

The digidoc does controll fans. In fact it can controll 8 of them as well as measure their rpm and it has 8 temperature probes. It does all that stock. What I did was chop the digidoc to 3 1/4inch size and add some extensions to the endges so it fits in a dual 3/14inch slot.

I also painted and polished it.

Thats about it bro.

how are the water temp sensors working?

[jaguarking11]

how are the water temp sensors working?

Very well actualy. The temps are rite on the money. There is usualy .3c or so diference between after rad and tank. The tank monitor is ovbiously .3 degrees hotter because its the return line to the cpu and gpu. But those are idle temps. On load the the diference is close to 1degree.

I also have one sensor measuring air intake temps in the front atached to a heatsink witch shows idle water temps are 2-3degrees hotter than the air coming in.

When I install under block or heatspreder sensors I will have an idea of how efficient my loop is. But if water temps are any indication to cpu temps then usualy the cpu is higher by 3-4degrees than water in both load and idle acording to mobo sensor witch I think its pretty dam acurate.

Do you have pics of your work on the digidoc? I am looking to do something similar to mine, as i am running out of 5.25 bays.

Sorry I dont have pics.

Its very simple. The electronics are 3 1/4inch designed. Just cut and make a lil diy setup.

Sorry for the late repply.

[jaguarking11]

Well I started with this old heatsink.

After bending it back and fourth I managed to snap a fin off.


I then proceded to put the fin on the stove and let it heat up. For two reasons really. It makes removing the clear coating off it easy and the second reason is that it makes the copper more flexible and workable.


After puting the very hot copper foil under water for a fiew seconds I then sanded the old crud off it.


This is the second part of the block.

Its actualy a copper cap for a 1inch tube.

I then took the copper sheet and put it over the copper cap but on the hollow end. The scope is to turn the sheet into a cap for the cap and seal the block. So some hammering took place.


Now we need some way of fabricating something to fascen the block on. I bought a copper strap that is meant for a one inch tube.


Some cutting.

Notice the part left over ontop. Im not throwing that out just yet.

That part comes in handy so I can hamer a curve into the copper pice. I hamered a curve ontop of a 1inch black cast iron pipe.


After adding a cuple of cupplers and some pipe I did the soldering. THis is it now.


Ofcourse its very dirty from the smoke and the oxides created by the torch when soldering.



Next up is some sanding and polishing. You may also have noticed I did not put anything inside the block for turbulance. And that is simply because it wont need it. Chipsets produce very little heat and just water in the chamber design should take care of it. In fact the new acetal chipset block from swiftech is just a chamber design with no fins whatsoever.

Your thoughts?

[creidiki]

Very steampunk, but I think ReD.SkY will agree with me when I say his... needs more pink, tbh

WTF? I cant make heads or tails of what your saying. But ill take it as a compliment.

[Revv23]

very nice soldering... what block is for your cpu? chipsink is unessesary imo, but the way you did it was classy, thumbs up

[g.l.amour]

nice work!! that must have been a job that went into the 100's of workhours

1) i hope you will find a way to un-ghetto the rad mounted on the top panel.

2) i wouldn't like to flush - change water on the system with all the rigid copper tubing.

3) your flow rates will take a beating with all the sharp 90°s

Im actualy using a polarflo TT block for the cpu and a DD maze4 acetal for the gpu. When I can afford it though im swaping out my pump for a d5 and the cpu block for a storm.
