some updated piccys ,

very tidy
congrats

I redid my loop so now its running in series rather than parallel

Hello all. This was an attempt to do something a bit different, at least in the area of the radiator. I used a fairly small pump (mounted under the table on the bottom of the 1/2" vertical copper pipe) to feed the top of the coils and let gravity help the liquid flow down to the 2 to 1 blocks mounted on the front of the coil stands. Variable speed fans in the stands provide airflow up through the coils. System works reasonably well but I want to increase flow rate (currently the gauge reads about 1 and 1/2 psi). Hard to find truly quiet pumps that will flow large volumes of liquid. One coil is connected to the CPU waterblock and one to the GPU. System capacity is almost 4 quarts of PC ICE dielectric fluid. Best temp recorded was 41C on the CPU while running dual Prime95.

nice
hint: you could hide those cables at the back of your case

do the hdd cage you have vibrate over there?

No, 5 Hd weigh a lot and its bolted down to the bottom of the cage. I pulled it back and stuck a 120mm fan in the front to keep the HD cool. (works kinda good). At one time I had the rad in the top but moved it to the bottom. My case is under my desk and it seemed that bottom of the case was always hot,, now that I have it in the bottom and with three blow holes in the top I have lots of flow Next time I take it apart I might take some more time with the wires, but my case dosnt have windows and I was kinda moving fast on the mod because I wanted to get it done before the wife got home from work and started with all the hunny do's.

Now THAT is xtreme!

[sargatanas]

here's my lil selfmade tower, my old thermaltake tx was just to tiny ^^.
at the moment its just a beta build cause the other cooling parts like smartcoils, gpu blocks are still missing and there's not alot time but still alot to do

next steps should be:
- to refill my loops with black uv water
- get rid off this ugly tube bridge
- put in my 2 g8 ultra

system:
dual lianli cube
qx6850 @ d-tek fusion
asus striker xtreme @ mips watercooling
asus 1950xtx @ innovatek
2gb dominator 1250 @ mips watercooling

loop 1: black ice stealth 240 - black ice gtx360 cpu - mem - gpu - asetek waterchill xtreme
loop 2: black ice gtx360 - mb - asetek waterchill xtreme

any questions - just ask =)

[Riddlinkidstone]

Where do you get those bubble fans?

[sargatanas]

hm I think these should be zaward fans dunno ^^

[Waterlogged]

Yeah the label looks like Zaward but it's probably just a re-badged Sharkoon Silent Eagle LED

[sargatanas]

nope, zaward ^^

[Waterlogged]

Please re-read my post

[stormshadow]

some updated piccys ,

nice a05
i'll have to post mine now...

[stormshadow]

[SP1]

No Sharkoons are rebranded Zawards.

Sc4mpi have you painted your thermalright hr-o5's red?

Evga 8800 GTX
Netcell 3-port RAID card
Dvico HD TV tuner

150gb RaptorX (sys - Vista)
3 x 74 GB Raptors (apps - Netcell RAID)
Maxtor 200gb (Unbuntu + XP)
Seagate 250gb (PCLinuxOS)

and I think that's it. Here are some pics:

Hey man,
Great system...What kind of adapters/fittings are those? I love the white! The paint job is great as well.

[disruptfam]

omg @ sargatanas 2 cube's!!! That's hardcore man! lol

[lazy]

here is my setup for now.... still have alot of work to do.. hiding the wires and installing a 2nd hd for raid...

also will be ordering a custom side panel that will show the 3 fans for the radiator as my current side panel only has a mesh opening near the graphics card

I see the PSU is upside down... how much room is between the PSU fan and that plate? Doesn't look like a whole lot to me!

[lazy]

will it affect the performance of the psu if there isnt alot of space there?

[Grinch]

I had mine upside down for about a year with no issues...

i'm sure it's fine and i'm sure people have done it.....but i have bets that the psu isn't gonna last as long....i would get a hole cut out above the psu. at least get some air in there! you just never know when it comes to electronics and heat

at least it will cool the rest of the components if you do

[pvtdonuts]

orientation doesn't matter, it's the fact that the intake fan is covered up by the case itself

[zarathrustra]

@ Lazy - How do you find the performance of the Heatpipes when they are upside down, the mobo being BTX style mounted. I have the same case (a few pages back in this thread) and am a little concerned about heat pipe cooled mobos being mounted like this. Thoughts anyone?
