Another TJ07 build... twin DDC's & twin thermochills

[Borgod]

Finally got around to get some photos of my Silverstone TJ07 project that I completed last year. I initally bought a TJ09 and *heavily* modded that, but that proved to be a waste of time, it just wasnt suited for several radiators.

Anyway... specs as follows:

Silverstone TJ07
Thermochill PA120.3 and PA120.2 mounted in bottom of case.
5/8" Tygon Tubing
MCP355 & MCP350 pumps with petras tops.
DTek Fuzion block
Thermochill Res

I also have a single 120mm radiator mounted behind the bottom 5 1/4" bays, and a D-Tek DB-1 pump ready to cool the NB/SB. I just havent gotten around to this yet. You'll see the rad covered with gladwrap just in front of the pumps, and the pump will (eventually) go behind the PA120.3 where the hoses run upward into the top compartment of the case.

I know its not the most efficient system with the 90degree brass bends etc, but with the vortex the pumps are making in the resevoir I dont think flow is a problem

I run a B3 QX6700 @ 1.5v and it doesnt go over 60 degrees. However Im considering grabbing an e8400 and see how cool I can get it to 4000Mhz.

Hope you like...



































Im kind of bored with this at the moment, so Im considering getting a 780i and clocking an e8400 to 4Mhz for better gaming performance.
Thinking of replacing the Fuzion with an EK Supreme also.

Damn, it looks great! But have you considered getting a better camera?

[Borgod]

im afraid thats the last thing on my shopping list

[disruptfam]

nice work mate (aussie's rep)

A Better camera helps a million.

Nice! I think you need some more blocks though

With those 2 pumps, playing around with the D-Tek nozzles is a definate idea.

I'm in the process of putting a 120.1 in the exact same spot you have your single rad...almost like it was made for it.

[Pedalmonkey]

overkill for the CPU only loop?? maybe add a NB block or something?? :P or over kills ok by me!!

Nice rig, and it all ways great to have a bit in reserve, you never know when you'll use it

That might not help improve your gaming performance much at all

I +1 on this

Were meaning that the 780i is not the best board to be playing with on overclocking. Might even have no difference because all it is, is added pci-2.0 and tri-sli.

Yeah as I said my original plan was to cool the NB & SB, but after a series of broken Motherboards I just wanted the thing running so I never bothered.

I wanted a PA120.1 where the single rad is now, but it was too tall... meaning I wouldnt of been able to use the top four 5 1/4" bays... Gotta keep the twin 150gb raptors, 500gb samsung and burner somewhere

With the 2 GTX's, 2 raptors, etc etc there is a lot of hot air inside the case that is giving my stability problems as my Southbridge idles at 65 degrees

I concede I should try out a dualcore on my 680i before bothering getting a 780i.
However Im not convinced a quadcore that is clocked 500Mhz lesser than a dualcore will still outperform it. Supreme Commander & FSX maybe, but I'm a FPS'er and I havent seen a shooter that uses all 4 courses simultaneously.

Thanks for all the comments
