Gettin started on Wc build ( 56k beware )

nice but.....where do you put your legs!

[pie_uk]

I'm very new to all this and all your messages and reading through all your posts have been invaluable.cheers

glad to see we help lol

on a serious note. i love that rig, dual loop is awesome as is the lian li

Lol the pc is actually further under the desk.Just rolled it out for that pic.I have plenty of room to put my legs.

thanks for the nice comments I'm still contemplating adding a 3rd loop.Chucking a rad on the back 120mm fan and cooling 4gb's of flex ocz ram and the sb.

I think i might go purple for the colour.What's the best uv purple die out there? Can't find any....

Also i ordered some uv green and blue cable ties to put on my barbs,the black one's look abit plain.

Should put the blue ties on the green loop and put the green ties on the blue loop? To change it up anit or just stick same colours same loop...

cheers fellaz

[shazza]

Thanks for the pic, disruptfam. I think I'd stick with blue on blue, and green on green, since you've got the cool looking gradation of colors going on - but I imagine either will look good.

[disruptfam]

Just random pics........


lol



Put my hard drive's in my case via zalman heatpipe cooler's Still waiting on a scythe kama bay i'm going to put it in front of the hd's Zalman fan controller aswell.......



My really bad wiring mess at the back...Won't see it with back on so algud




My two triple slimline rads.They perform well....I sacraficed performance to fit them in there.I originally had thicker one's that didn't fit but would of performed better.It's so hot in my room over 30c ambients summer is definetly
coming in Aus!!



My two acrylic res's look very nice with some leds behind them.Very bright.



I added a ocz ram cooler(very noisy turned it down in the bios) and did abit of cable managment.



close up



Mate's gts ( waiting to be installed)



Into his old soprano case



Brother's antec 900



my old stacker case (for sale)



My dremel and jigsaw i purchased yesterday = empty wallet



my games(well some of mate's have my other's one's) Bioshock rock's by the way



my desk (ooohhh blurry)



My v2000 panel that i need to cut......



Custom pc ftw!!!



My guitar that i never play....



And last one... taadaaaaahhhh



Well there you have it..... my pc and my other random stuff

Enjoy!!!!!

bravo




ohhhh and if you know how to solder, may I suggest a light killswitch? i dont know about you but personally, I would benefit from it.

Umm no i don't. do u mean a switch to turn all the lighting off right?It's very bright but it's under the desk so it's not to bad

Any guide on how to?

cheers

err... I have a really really silly question

When using a waterblock and the CPU Fan plug (4 pin PWM) on the motherboard is not used..... Does the Thermal Management in BIOS need to be turned off?
Would I need some kind of Thermal Management?

Would using a threepin fan in this plug and mounted on the rad work ok?
Would using an AF PWM (12025) fan connected to this socket and mounted on the rad... work betterer?

Look at the pix on page #2. You'll be able to see what Disrupwire did.
Basically any fan etc can be used to run on the cpu fan header and keep the bios happy. Dis' used the pump rpm wire and plug, as most do.


Sorry, Dis'. It's not too bad a wiring layout for the first go. It normally takes a couple of layouts and a bit of thought before I get a neat job. Once it's all in there the ideas for a better layout come to you. I'm sure you'll sort yours'.
Everything else looks so good.

Who's that directed at?

[Tj*]

Thanks for pointing out the image Jedda.

This was the only loose end I had and clear information was scant, plus all the pumps I looked (obviously not enough) at didn't seem to have one... the D5 I've gone with doesn't seem to have an RPM wire on her

[Jedda]

Who's that directed at?

You. I made a bad joke with your username about the wiring behind the mobo.
Disruptwire instead of family. Then made it worse by using Dis' for short.

[Patriote]

Well, the least we can say is that you did your homework before doing this project. For a first time watercooling set-up, it's pretty damn good m8!

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooook

Lol yeah the wires ain't done yet and it's not like you can see them with door on.

cHEERS patiote i rekon i did pretty well for my 1st go.My next rig will be twice as good......

Next time i might do a triple or quad loop rig.I think i'm going to stick to one colour....I like the look of 2 or 3 diff colour in my rig but i don't if you know what i mean.

I wanna sand and polish the middle section to a mirror finish do all the tubing black and so on and so forth (already getting ahead of myself)I got 2 triple rads in there atm.I could fit another dual at the top and another single or dual on the back 120mm fan............

K ima giv myself and my wallet a break for awhile Phew

[disruptfam]

disruptfam great job for first time, not worry about the wire management cos it always the last thought when building. next empty wallet will be soldering iron, wire strippers, side cutters,heat shrink tubes, and heat gun to clean up the spaghetti.
I noticed in the pic's you have the cpu block upside down, how are the temps?

Idle: 40c @ 3.2ghz load prime 56c

Do you think having the block the other way would help temps?Core 1 is always 10c higher than the other cores (i thought due to uneven mounting could it the block being upside down?) i put the block on the mobo be4 installing in the case. Explain why block is in the direction of the topside of the mobo

cheers

Yeah, I figured you'll get around to it in time.
After you've had some fun using it most probably.

The D-tek writing should be the right way up to allow the outlet to bleed.
There's a possability of a bubble inside otherwise.

oh ok. i don't think there's a bubble in there but i could be wrong.Hmmm i can't think of anyway of changing the right way round without draining the loop..... idea's? if i have to drain the loop what's the easiest method?

cheers

[disruptfam]

how do my temps look though? they seem about the same as most people on the forum's

40c idle @ 3.2ghz load 56c prime

[disruptfam]

kk How long is regular time to do maintenance every 6 months? When i do maintanence do you think i should take the nb out of the loop?I'm going to use one of those d-tek nozzles i read about aswell..... and might lap my q6600

cheers fellaz

wow nice build you have there disruptfam!

Fantastic job for a first time build. Mine looked nothing like that when I first started!

[step]

Awesome work there.

Is that psu standard size?

Thanks ranker alot of homework and reading through a million threads helped me alot.

[disruptfam]

Awesome work there.

Is that psu standard size?

Close enough i guess it's the smallest 850w i know of that's why i got it.It's not like those huge enermax galaxy psu's

Any bigger and i couldn't 2 x triple rads down there

cheers
