New WC Setup

Added a MCRES & an MCR120 to the front... and the DFI and a Q6600



Lights out.



Crowded tubing



Mounted the rad with the two U shaped MCRES brackets.

[CyberDruid]

Got any pics of a setup like that?

Yep

[jabski]

nice and clean msarp

After much time and hard work, my first water-cooling build is complete, for now. If anyone would like, I'll make a thread with more pictures. I wish they were of better quality, but its the best camera I have at the moment. Feel free to ask any questions.

Computer specs:
Asus Blitz Formula
EVGA 8800 Ultra
E6700
2x1GB Crucial Ballistix PC8500
150GB Raptor
Corsair HX620
Lian Li PC-A70B

Cooling:
Thermochill PA120.3
D-Tek FuZion
Swiftech MCW60
DDC 3.2 w/ Petra's top
All fans are low speed Yate Loons at 7v

Very nice. You have done a very nice cable management job there. Definitely for one with the PSU is at the bottom. Maybe I won't be so hesitant to buy a case like that in the future, now that I know it can be done right.

[lowfat]

yes it is primochill, theres nothing wrong with it being thick, seeing as its the best tubing to work with.

Ya it is good stuff, just a little to big for me these days. Where did you buy your tubing from? s I haven't seen any for sale in Canada. I bought a 100 foot roll from ebay a few years back, and ended up selling the majority of it in RFD.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!









And my old P4 machine, ahhh...presyyyyyy.

@CyberDruid: man, you make water-cooling look sooooo easy! drool

[DarthBeavis]

@ [XC] Kayin . . .Cooling quad with Two Thermochills in the loop, 10 SilenX in push/pull
@ Bla$nA . . .Don't worry, I will have new cards eventually . . .sponsors FTW
@ Zgradis . . .Quad SLI = Intel SkullTrail . . .Tri SLI = Nvidia 780i . . .I do both
@ IanY. . .Single slot bro. Slots inbetween are usuable if the card is not tall. These blocks perform and I have numbers to prove it. My understanding is no connector needed for quad.
@ lennox . . .yes, that is an issue

I am waiting for a pump to arrive so I can change my setup to waterchill using the phase change unit. I was unable to get a good seating on the CPU on this board so my temps sucked.

I am working on getting procs for the SkullTrail and need get blocks made for the SkullTrail yet including a GPU solution.

DarthDeavis TEN silenx fans.... oh lord

[trouble2000]

Silenx crap

DarthBeavis,

I think I'm going to skip 780i. My first EVGA board was flaky so I RMAed it. I just found out that my Asus 680i will boot a Yorkfield just fine, so I'll stick with that for now, especially when it works for Tri.

I hope to step up to Skull Trail when it gets available.

Can you advise me as to how you manage to fit two Vapochill units inside your (presumed) 22 inch Mountain Mods cube? Or do you have two stacked cubes? I'm also assuming that you use two Vapchill Litespeed units or you have the Jinu VapoLi modified units.. Am I right?

Now, I hear that they are creating new format cases with 8 slots, presumably to accomodate Skull Trail's four gpus. So, you are saying that the Skull Trail will take four standard GTX-style cards without any SLI connectors, and that the magic will come together via software, right ?

[IanY]

That's what I like most about DarthBeavis. He's not afraid to challenge all conventional wisdom.

He says DD fullcover blocks are superb, and now I trust him and will try. Whatever you say about SilenX, you don't know what he knows.

Way to go, DB !!

[binormalkilla]

Still using plain distilled water.
Going to use my G11 + Biocide mixture once my FuZion nozzles come in and I find the best nozzle to use.

Hey that's a really clean look NEvolution! How about you slap a MCW60 on that 2900XT? You should be able to clock to at least 925 on it
I'm running 950 on mine @ 1.35V

[momoceio]

I've already had my share of SilenX failures..never again I'm a Yate Loon guy from here on out.

That was what I planned to do but I could not find a place to buy it. So I ended up going with the HR-03.

If I find it some time down the road, I'll need to get one and clock past 900 at least.

Please enlighten me about these "failures" you've had.

[Papu]

lol , mine spins nice and quietly ...

[cabbspapp]

Maybe SilenX got their straight. Some people have had some really bad luck with them.

[BeeN]

Some colour concepts

[Origin_Unknown]

Hi Been i like the way the top one looks! what hardware do you have in there?

[CyberDruid]

emPUR3 I like that first cae: the black lines are super tight.

RE SilenX

Considering I have bought/sold/used THOUSANDS of dollars in SilenX fans I can attest to them being dead sexy. Especially the 38mm deep ones.

However out of the hundreds of SilenX fans that have moved through my hands I have had several obnoxious failures. Leaking oil from the mylar seal/sticker is one particularily annoying failure. But usually the failure is just that the fans make a clicking noise of some kind...or the LEDs fail...

I did have one CPU cooler fall apart....that was a real pisser.

But mainly I encountered a prejudice towards them from people that have never even used them. SO I stopped stocking them all together.

I myself have a prejudice against Yate Loons and refuse to use them so there!

[IanY]

Brave words, CyberDruid. You have my admiration for guts there

have you not seen the size of his chin .. he can take it

tbh i have got 3 silenex 80mm fans from 2/3 years ago and thats where my prejudice comes from. all 3 seem to have developed a rattling noise and its almost like the fan has come loose from the chassis

How do you think I lost that one eye

Yep I got that exact same failure. They just don't last for a long time...and they are not really suitable (too low static pressure) for high density finned radiators.

On a PA type rad the deep body fans work pretty good though.

My personal favorite fan for ANY watercooling set up is the Sanyo Denkei SanAce 1011 103.5 CFM fan. It's really a superior fan.
