Project: Onslaught U2-UFO Build

[NaeKuh]

Try adding water as the pump is pumping IE filling up the cyclone.

been trying that. Also flashing the system.

Dude forget about setting this system to medium or high. The thing pulls it all the way down.

And i have an additional 6 inches of tubing at the top with a brass plug. And it pulls that water down almost 3/4.

This pump is insane. Im gonna see if it gets any better after it bleeds.


And yes: ITS LOUD. A lot louder then my D5, or DDC-2. So im gonna also need to think of a way to silence it. But im also thinkn it might be because all the bubbles havent been bled yet.

Not what I wanted to hear. Was hoping this thing could be undervolted to relative silence. I'm still waiting on the PSU.

I guess that STC manual binder is good only for leak testing water cooling systems

Due, I'm telling you as a friend... and only because I regard you as a friend... otherwise I would just stfu and chuckle... .... there's an easy solution to this crisis ...... !!!

ahahaha... iany... i think im gonna swap the ek's out with mcres.

As i said i had 2 prep'd for my htpc build. and my onslaught jr.

The way it looks, i think onslaught jr. might get the EK 250 res.


NOTE: EK + RD-30 does not mix under any voltage.

[NaeKuh]

which thumb screws do you guys think i should go with? the black ones or the blue ones?

[Grinch]

+1 for black

[NaeKuh]

+1 for black

hmmmm... my side hard drives are mounted with blue annodized thumb screws as well....

But black does look nice up front too.

I'll wait for more opinions. Also i added a few more pics.

[IanY]

Black.. but you know me..

I think the fan grill screws need to go black as well.. not brass.

[Concept 5000-FX]

More More More :O

[Okda]

if u will use the blue fan grills in the front then i vote for blue

if not then black

How many barbs does the EK res have? I think I have a solution for you.

4 G 1/4" threaded openings, 2 EK barbs, 2 EK plugs by default. I purchased the multioption top to replace the default top so I have 6. But in any case watercooler should have plenty of extra barbs lying around.

iam still gathering info to make my first WC, so my question is probably stupid :
on your last photos, should your rad be upside down (barb at the bottom) or it doesnt matter?

Barbs on the bottom so you can use the bleed screw up top makes things easier, but it doesn't really matter either way.

Here's
a link to the Matrix stuff.

No, what I want to know is what is "LSI" version of Matrix Orbital.

black screws for that black case....

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

i agree with the black fully. the blue screws looked tacked on especially cause the blue is a real funky lookin semi-turquoise

[hoax]

black screws for that black case....

+1

[[cTx] Nooc]

yeah black screws look alright

[serialk11r]

Have you tried using 2 wyes to split the return flow in half, and the suction in half. (ah isn't it wonderful how I'm finding uses for wyes? 90/45 degree barbs are next!)

[ColonelCain]

black screws for that black case....

+2

[Anemone]

Black.. but you know me..

I think the fan grill screws need to go black as well.. not brass.

I agree 100% with this

[septim]

serial stick with 45deg fittings lesser flow killer than the 90deg...

[Patriote]

+1 for black

+1 for the black ones. The build looks great m8! Keep it up!

[NaeKuh]

guys i dropped the black screws back in.

Also finished the waterwork and she's doing a leak test right now.

Some teasers: i need to go out to work, so i'll post the rest later:



I fixed the cyclone. I stuck a thermoprobe down there, and it caused a counter vortex. That seemed to fix my bubble problem.

Ranker, the thing is a little loud. Its about a little worse then a D5. But it pumps like a monster.

Currently my loads wont break 51C.




And i thought they were called LSI matrix prbitals? if not, then i guess i was wrong. Mines the PLED version. I havent had time to install it yet.
