Water Cooled Case Gallery

[Origin_Unknown]

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.

do you prefer them @ 7v like vapor does?
i'm curious as my first WC build is coming up at the end of the month and i'm trying to gauge some opinions

[CyberDruid]

Yep 7V is a sweet spot.

They are in that Lian Li case I posted above.

[Waterlogged]

That's odd because I consider a fan "failure" to be where it simply doesn't work anymore. I've got "leakers" that burned off all the oil they could and have been running 24/7 without so much as a peep out of them for well over 9 months now. I took it as "excess" oil burning off, but if it's everything from inside the bearing chamber, I'm fairly certain that I'd hear a noise of some kind (rattle, click, squeal) by now, which simply isn't the case.

I've said before that I won't recommend them for rads, but if you've already got them, they do make nice case fans. I've got more than I'd like to admit having, most are scheduled for use (as I have 5 ongoing builds), some were for cases that have outlived their usefulness ( but may still find life as MOSFET or RAM coolers).

@ IanY . . .I am actually using a single modifed Vapochill and using it to waterchill both CPUS (well, I will once my cpus come in). I am making a pimp setup for it (tubing in polished conduit with foam insulation sprayed in.

For fans . . .I actually use Yates and SilenX in builds depending on the color scheme . . .Yate for blue cause they are cheaper, otherwise SilenX. For Autopsy I used all AC Ryan. The SilenX's are really quiet in Hellmouth. Just wish they were not so spendy.

[CyberDruid]

The AC Ryan Blackfires are fun to look at...but not so much to listen to.

[rehpyc]

CyberDruid, would you recommend those San Aces and running them at 7V as opposed to running a 50cfm or so fan that already runs pretty silent at 12V? High cfm will help during the hot summers, but otherwise I'd want things to be pretty damn silent, if the San Aces are just that at 7V heh.

[Nate P.]

Where can you find those San Aces anymore? OOS at Petra's, where else can you get them? (At a decent price)

[g1raffe]

Nothing too special, but theres mine.

[Nate P.]

Anything involving a water cooled 900 definitely takes some skill. Good job!

Thank you sir!

[smee]

Wow san ace's are a little pricy...
At least from my perspective
I prefer $5 yates or something

BTW, good job on the 900 g1raffe! Looks great!

they starting to adapt tho...i saw at compusa the new antec 900 cases have watercooling holes on the back like the higher end cases...so it should be quite easy to watercool it with an external radiator

[emPUR3]

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

Hey thX CyberDruid. I always enjoy breaking down the physics of your insane loops and projects. You workin' on anything ATM?

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

E6600, 2GB Cellshock PC6400, EVGA 8800GTS 640MB, 2x 400GB HDD Space Samsung HD401LJ <- Cooled by Ek Waterblocks

[disruptfam]

nice rigs giraffe and the omen!!!!

nice to see more aussies on here

You need to hold a San Ace in your hand...you'll see the difference immediately...about three time heavier...not a fan you want to stick a finger in

I agree...there are a lot of ways to do it. I just thought of a couple more

Thanks. Yep...got (heresy) an aircooled rig to build and (sigh of relief) two more external coolers to build...

What's the point of this picture? No wiring, no watercooling.. no nothing. People should only post pics of fully functioning COMPLETED rigs.

I don't know about you, but I see waterblocks in that picture.

And who are you to dictate what can go in this thread and what cannot?

[heanwi]

Nothing too special, but theres mine.

I think you are in danger of a kink (the tube from cpu-block to the reservoir), but you got a very nice setup. Not much space left :P

[kinghong1970]

Holy Transparent Tubing there BeeN!!!

post some pics when you're done also!

what kind of temps do you get dude? i take it that its one loop aswell?

[LockBreaker]

Someone who got any pics of a watercooled Lian Li V1000 or V1100?

I am going to cool mine you see, and I am looking for ideas.

Sorry for my bad English.

Your English seems great to me.
