Water Cooled Case Gallery

**Ninvec** · 10-20-2007, 02:42 AM

After seeing all those beautifully rigs here on xtremesystems, I decided to post some pics of my first water cooled rig.
It was put together this summer, however I never finished the case..

Hope you like it

And before the cool sleeves, plexi and the colored water:

do you guys really think that the 120.3's are THAT MUCH better then say a triple (or even quad because of the space between the fans) Black Ice's or MCR320s?

If you could put a figure on it, what would it be?

**CyberDruid** · 10-20-2007, 03:13 AM

Oh Hell yes. At least twice as effective.

I am running THREE Quad cores on my PA120.3/Iwaki RD30/Bonnie Heatercore set up.

Check out this thread for a comparison. Scroll down a little for the test, the "Cooltek" tested there ist identical to a MCR320.

so there are no case fans? is case side on or off? what is ur ambient temp / room temp?

**CyberDruid** · 10-20-2007, 07:22 AM

I would imagine that a top mount would work even better for passive.

or maybe extended case 'legs'/feet & mount it @ bottom...

either way, i'm liking the idea of passive for *total* silence

**disruptfam** · 10-20-2007, 10:17 AM

nice looking rig Ninvec i would take off those cool sleeve's though looks so much better without them...

Imo the before looks better than your current setup...

Malik your case is so awesome, it looks photoshopped. Seriously good work there, I love the fan!

Dunno about 2 or 3 times as effective, but I went down 8-10c going from a Black Ice gts360 to pa120.3

Case side is on, one single ~30CFM Akasa at the top (can be seen in the pics). Ambient at a guess is 21C... quite cold on campus.

I never intended this rig to be passive, I built it all and was going to put the rad fans on last... then realised I'd left the screws for the rad back at home (I'm currently at uni), so need to wait till next time I go home to pick them up...

I've managed to get one fan on the rad using zip ties and electrical tape, it's a 110cfm silverstone, I'm running it at 5v though.
