Latest H20 Cooled Rig

[theseeker]

I just upgraded my E6600 to a QX6700 and installed a MIPS NB & SB cooler. I have one internal Aqua 360 Rad and an external Aquaduct.

SB

Aquaduct


The Aquasuite software is sweet too!

[Sideroxylon]

My what small tubing you have. Did you just get out of the pool? Shrinkage!!
j/k

Nice setup. That software looks interesting.

[eXceeded]

hmm you've gone for a totally different design than I have:

I plan on putting another res beneath that one that you see for another loop. Atm I only have a dual radiator and a D5 in the bottom but I plan on putting in a triple radiator and another D5. Will make the computer look well good from the front and side panels

[dinos22]

wow that tubing looks smaller than 1/4"

[Sparky]

Looks nice, but why all the 90 degree elbows, the kittens are screaming

[theseeker]

I knew that this was coming! It is 8mm OD x 6MM ID tubing and yes it is a low flow system. Sorry, I do not like garden hose. It is all from Aqua Computer in Germany, except for the NB & SB coolers which are from MIPS in Germany. Please do not discount low flow systems and small tubing as their design allows for a very efficient setup. My temps are quite low and the system is very quiet. The software allows you to set your fan speeds based upon temps and it also allows for shutdown in the event your H20 level falls.
I just replaced my E6600 with a QX6700 so I do not have an accurate idea of how the temps will be with the QX. However, my temps with the E6600 never exceeded 46~47C with an OC of 3.7. Currently the QX is 33C at idle....more to come.

The 90's cannot be avoided. I wish I could, but you can't have everything.

you are probably right..........i mean i used to have 1/4" tubing in the old Corsair Hydrocool 200 and that unit was not bad at all but it is also no news that higher flow normally equals better W.C. system

your temps are looking good though

[NaeKuh]

ummm nice setup if your EU. Looks very clean. And seems very nice to EU standards.

If your USA, then... ummmm... you should read the stickies over again. You completely messed up for USA standards. :X


:]


If your EU running USA standards, then i give mad props to you guys. I know how hard it is to find stuff their.

are you sure

i mean your tubing is very thin so it should bend like a son of a gun

have you tried it?

it looks neater this way though

[james111]

That Aquaduct is pure sex!
nice temps too.

Trust me, I have been using AC gear for about three years and it cannot be done. Based upon my temps there is no reason for concern. I have OC'ed my pumps and the highest temp I have recored is 52C on my first GTX.
No worries

Thanks, I love it too and it works!

[BlueAqua]

Very nice setup, I too am a huge fan of Aqua Computer products, very high quality nice stuff. I need to update my software for my Aquaero, I've kinda strayed away from my nice clean AC setup. I need to work on a revamp of it. This has got me thinking...

[Patriote]

Nice set-up there. I know that some part of the word aren't on garden hose set-ups. And that is alright! The way i see this is : The way we eat down here = the same thing in our computer. Huge bigmac (Mc Donald's crap) = 1\2" ID systems Jk

Oh and nice temps there!

[jabski]

nice temps. Will be interested what its like with the qx6700

[theseeker]

After running Orthos and OCCT at stock speed it is 40C. Unfortunately, it will be a few days brfore I have a chance to OC this chip, but I will post the results. In the meantime, if any of you have any stable settings with this MB and CPU, please post them as I hate to re-invent the wheel!

[elsupremo]

Wow...must be a VERY low flow system!

Looks nice though, hope you're happy with it!

[NaeKuh]

not very good. Expecially overclocked.

1/4ID cant provide enough fluid over the cores to cool it down properly.

Also i highly doubt that block will have the cpu coverage area for both cores hanging on the side. OVerall if your EU, its a decient system. Maybe even along the lines of high quality.

in the US, its almost useless as a XSPC system.

Hence why i said if you EU, good job.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

lol thats kinda like saying "if your white, that is as good as nothing, but if your black, good job" ???? why insult him like that??

hes made a decent watercooling system that gets pretty good temps, it is in no way "useless". I flame sometimes too but idk your comments seem pretty tasteless. (as are mine sometimes)

didnt i mention in my previous post:

Here i'll requote it for you.
"If your EU running USA standards, then i give mad props to you guys. I know how hard it is to find stuff there."

I clearly pointed out that EU people have a hard time getting our stuff. How is that bashing in any way? Would i recomend this kind of setup to someone? No i wouldnt. Neither would 2/3rds of the members in this forum because its very restrictive.

But to people in different country's that have to wait months on end for inventory, then yes. This setup is acceptable.

So how the hell am i implying:
"if your white, that is as good as nothing, but if your black, good job" ????


I even complimented his setup with this:
"ummm nice setup if your EU. Looks very clean. And seems very nice to EU standards. "



So why dont you save your flames for someone else, and stop trying to hump my leg.


To OP: Sorry about that, the little kid has issues with me, and vice versa.

I did mean it when i said it looks very good and clean to those standards.

Actually I don't think this setup is all that bad, apart from the 90s, and the yucky aluminum blocks. First of all, he uses 8mm tubing which is an improvement over the 6mm crap a lot of EU guys use. Second, his rad isn't one of those insane 14 pass thingies (or does he...). FYI for those of you who can't convert metric to this nasty stuff we americans use, 8mm is almost 3/8"
EDIT: crap nevermind, he is using the nasty 6mm stuff...well at least it looks good

[septim]

"It is 8mm OD x 6MM ID tubing" ah serial, 6mm is 1/4...

The blocks are copper no aluminum.

Take the AC flow meter out and put an Innovatek one in and you will instantly realize about 160 LPH. That's about a 100% increase over what you got now.
