TJ07 + PA120.3 + PA120.2 = Photos of my version of this.

Thanks guys!

Q's...

It's single loop still with 2 D5's. Temps...in 80F room it's mid 60's depending on which Orthos routine it's doing. Seems about 3C max cooler than before the nozzle treatment. Not too shabby with a 6600 'B' chip with 1.51+ vcore @ 3.8Ghz.

Scuzzy tubing...yep it is . Too lazy to change it, I'll just wait until the new stuff matches the old

That's impressive! I'm struggling to bring mine (B2) towards 3.8, just wont hold that level and be stable. And thats at >1.6V, guess every chip is different, hey? Again very neat setup - this case must be amazing to work with, a modders dream for sure. I have kept my Tt Armor since I got it maybe 3 yrs ago - still very happy with it but nice to see what can be done with a TJ07, have seen many good mods with it.

Thanks! When I say 'B', I'm meaning the L627B, not B2 stepping. The B's are seemingly hotter running than A's, at least in that chip's generation. FWIW, max Orthos stable for my particular CPU is 3.85Ghz, but the vcore is goofy at that speed with similar heat output, so I turned down the speed 50Mhz for 24/7 style operation.

I've been following this thread since it started and like many others, am very impressed. So much so, that I'm going down the same path.

The only change I was thinking (and I believe it was mentioned by someone earlier in the thread) was cutting a ventilation hole in the bottom of the case so that both rads could be set up with fans drawing out through them and venting the warm air back outside. This schematic is based on thinner rads than your thermochills, but even with them, you should still be able to gain sufficient venting up from the bottom. Note, you should place at least a single sheet metal divider vertically up from the center of the vent cut in the base to keep cross-flow from disturbing proper flow between both rads separately. Also, this will require the addition of "feet" to the case so it sits up off the floor. I was thinking of simply pulling off the circular feet from an old receiver. They will look pretty nice.

I'm also modding a front 120mm fan to intake into the top section of the case almost exactly like what you did, but without the single 120mm rad.

What do you think?

i like your idea, especially the "air-guides". With low rpm fans, I don't think the bottom hole will be too small for 5 fans to breathe through. If you want to use high performance fans, I guess that they will have a hard time...

Do think of one thing though: How to build a removable air filter!

With 5 fans sucking air from the floor, you will have a very dust-free area around your TJ07, but you will be needing to clean your radiator VERY often!! When my water cooling adventure started, I mounted a radiator in the bottom of an Antec Sonata case sucking in air. My case was raised quite a bit from the floor, but still I had to tip my case every week to vacuum the radiator. Now, the Antec Sonata case is only a midi sized case so it's not that heavy or hard to tip once a week, but the TJ07 might be a different story. That only applies if you put a filter in the bottom cutout you are going to make. If you do not put an air filter of some kind in the hole, You will be wearing that radiator mount out by removing at least one radiator to get to the other for vacuuming.

So a removable air filter has to be included in your build, for your own sake.

Sorry for using your thread AndyM, to comment on Hijacks idea.
