Updated my V1000. Do I hold the award for most stuff in 1 yet? Hardware specs as in sig.

@ ownage

The most original WC filled P180 I've seen so far

Care to sell your sidepanel? (mine is broken )

Thanks ,

I rather keep my sidepanel, because i mostlikely will use this case as my server case after some time.

This one, great deal for 5 bucks, it only takes a few drops for the entire loop. My little bottle will last me a lifetime

Wow really... Sounds like a better deal than the D-tek UV dye I'm using. Took about the whole bottle to get it about that bright, and the bottle is $10. Might have to look into that frozenCPU dye next time.

It was a difficult job, took pretty much all day with a stop for rowing and food. Nothing went to plan really. I was hoping to fit the MCRES in between the side of the case and the 5.25" drive bays but its too wide, thank God for the included bracket! I was planning to have the 2nd DDC below where the MCRES is but that wouldnt work either so it had to go at the back of the case next to the other 1 and its a tight fit, only just goes. I have a modular PSU so that helped, along with the impressive flexibility of 7/16" Masterkleer tubing, I dont think I'd have managed it with 1/2" tubing, be just that bit too big.

Loops go (1) DDC-1+>Fuzion 1>Fuzion 2>Rad>MCW-60>EK Res
(2)DDC-1+>BIP>MCW-30>Maze 4 GPU (on PhysX)>MCRES Micro

I'd planned to watercool the southbridge with a 2nd MCW-30 but I couldnt get a secure mount due to the intel clip hold down mechanism. The NB was fine as the i5000X chipset is covered by an IHS.

Thats totally the opposite then wat i want with my Rig. I want my loop to be as simple as possible, which makes it easy to remove, but also doesn't take to much space.

Your Watercooling sure looks cool, but what when you have to remove something?

Yeh, it sure wont come apart easily! Really the only reason it'll come to bits now is if something breaks. I wont be upgrading for a while as Im not a heavy gamer I wont be rushing out to buy the latest GFX card and the dual-quad cores should see me through in the CPU horsepower department for a good while to come. My 1st loops started off simple, was an Asetek CPU only kit, then I bought a GPU block, a better pump, the Antarctica CPU block. Having pushed the Asetek stuff about as far as it would go I got a Laing D5, a tripple 120 rad, a DD TDX for my A64 and a Maze 4 for my GFX. From there I added a 2nd D5 and swapped to an MP-05 Pro LE CPU block. When I got my 1st Xeons (E5120 dual cores) I just bought a 2nd MP-05 and an MCW-60 for my 8800GTS as the Maze 4 wouldnt fit, but when my quad cores arrived I upgraded to the Fuzions due to their made-for-quad-core design and thought I may as well do it properly and WC everything! The stock NB heatsink is just Alu and it got burning hot so I got the MCW-30s and I still had the old Maze 4 knocking around which just happened to fit on the PhysX card, so might as well use it, right?

I do see your point though simple can be good, but at least if I know it'll take all day to disassemble it'll stop me tinkerign for a while, might actually get some useful stuff done! D

[noel82]

i like it...quite clean job

and...what about the temps??

[Yozzman]

What i dont like is the routing of your tube that goes from the D5 to ur rad...
I would have put it above the mobo...
Then it wil look even more cleaner

And mayby a different color for those green mesh... :P

[Omarko]

Just finished mine ...

still bleeding -

[perfection]

hey! there's my EK block I sold to omarko, looks bloody terrific mate!
loosen the screws up a bit, your bending the PCB, look at the pic again and look closely at around the SLI conector

what's that tubing under the GTX doing there? holding up it up is it?

[sick_g4m3r]

hah tubing holding the gtx up, thats innovative. great job!

but fo real, that build is tight brah!

[whoodiestyle]

Omarko why is your card bending so much at the end? my 8800gtx with the ek block holds it all rigid and straight

[Sparky]

Where is the PSU getting its air from? The fan is on the bottom, but there is the bottom of the case in the way...? Or am I just missing something, like is there an airspace between the bottom of the PSU and the case?

[Yozzman]

I think he did put the EK block to tight...
I had it to when i put on my 8800GTS...
I just loosend some bolts a bit...

not sure to be honest ... I tried few things, makes no diff ...

the PSUis elevated about 3cm above the bottom of the case so there is plenty of airflow going on in the bottom chamber which is separated and insulated from the top one. There is a front intake fan pushing air in and going out through the PSU.

I tried that and it made not difference. its wierd ... but all seems to work fine ...

I gotta say, the temps are fantastic, in 19C room temp I get 31C IDLE and 35C LOAD (playing Oblivion for approx 2 hours). With stock HSF I had 65 Idle, 75C load. Massive drop.

I start feeling Nervous and Tensed when i see Bend PCBs

Nice work there Omarko on your P180!

Little upgrade....

Little upgrade....

4GB OCZ ram watercooled:

nice ... thats what I call EXTREME

[septim]

nice rig Omarko, i like the simple view unclutterred look...

LeChuck, i almost couldn't see the shiny ram... that is 1 big blowup of a pic.
