Water Cooled Case Gallery

[fireice2]

Yup! Pure distilled H20. As for the Gfx card, I'm fine cooling it with air. for easy maintenance. hehehe

But i think I'll keep the bottom 2 fans on the side panel to keep cool components .

[ka lok]

you tell us

doesn't seem like it's a world-ending error. water is still flowing - just not as optimally as it could be.

Hi Stormshadow, just finished retubing the cpu block and looks like this now

Decided to turn cpu block upside down to keep the tubing running in the same pattern.

Temps have not changed at all, still 38c idle and 52c load but have not let as5 run in yet, so temp might change still.

By the way, i think i was looking at some of your previous rigs for inspiration towards this, had one pic saved on my last HD. Thanx for that

@fireice2: why not use the coolant?

[CyberDruid]

There are also clear coolants available. Here in germany one of the best, without making the tube looking cloudy. It is called Innovatek Protect.
Available as a concentrate to mix with distilled water, or also ready mixed.



I hope to have my 343b ready soon. I need more space for my 2 loops. They won´t fit in my old built

I can see that A veritable tower of power...

[CyberDruid]

My first water cooling project.

From this...


To this...

I see you have a coil to keep your Data cool I like that

Lowers thermal conductivity. Pure distilled water for best temps

fireice, that looks sweet!

[disruptfam]

peebee looking good man!! could u post your worklog here @ xs aswell please

[fireice2]

@emoners
I was thinking of adding a Fesser UV Black Dye.

But that would be for the next lanparty. hehehe We have monthly lanparties in my place so having a fancy coolant would be nice.

But for daily usage, I still prefer pure H20.

@cyber & sparky
Thanks guys!


Really have to thank the water-cooling veterans for keeping me away from pre-built kits and also for the ideas on how to setup my loop.

I also realized that my two favorite colors are really blue and purple. mwehehehe

Maybe, if it goes on with the PC 343b, I can open up a Thread. For the first it will be enough to present the german log as well. Pictures say more tha a hundred words In about two weeks it goes on, so I can make a separate in here.

A quick update:

Before



After



One Seagate 160G out, 2 Seagate's single platter in. Ati 2900xt out, 8800 gt in. Changed a rad, changed the fluid, and removed one fan

What rads are you using at the front and back?
I've got the same case and wondering if I can fit a 2nd loop in.

[dnb#]

17c?!?!!?!? :S

Is it chilled? cause normally such temps are impossible or am I crazy?
If I'm crazy can you tell me which rad you have then?

I cant believe how you guys take pics with such awesome lighting, where abouts is that pump sold? And how good is it?

My lighting is a Canon Speedlite 430EX.

I can't test it, because my other watercooling-stuff is not sill here.

You're using an old version of CoreTemp that uses a tjunction of 85C for the E4300. Correct tjunction for E4300 is 100, so you will need to add 15C to those temps.

Sorry for the bad news

Edit: later versions of CoreTemp will show the correct tjunction.

in this case, the block is mounted fine. Just redo the tubing so that the water goes IN through the center hole and OUT through the corner hole.

bahahah

i thought that it was the specific energy of pure watter was higher than a synthetic coolant

[MrMick]

The more i see people with black tubing the more i like it , black tygon i take it ???

[su3_zero]

lol.... i love it.... i realy like all black pcs!!!

[Tile]

The black tubing and fluid complements the black interior of the case.

[funkflix]

Yeah, black is great!

Now with new motherboard an two chipsetcoolers.

[Waterlogged]

I'm pretty sure this is just black fluid. It has a different, duller "shine" to it than tubing. The rig funkflix post is black tubing.
