Water Cooled Case Gallery

excellent work on the paint job looks flawless

[ThatGuy16]

sergio, very nice work there


I took a few more, this is the best i could do without major case mods

I was going to drill holes in the back of the case for the tubing, i went to two hardware stores and couldn't find the right size bits





leak free!


the reservoir is on the other side panel, and that ugly poster is covering up a hole in the wall i need to fix

Thanks pal yours also and brave to make things order in that case, seems smaller than mine...
I also couldn' find the right things till a friend that works on electrical give me the gaskets that fit...

What temps you have ?

You have my same LCD :=)

Cheers and Thanks for you comments

Here is my first wc rig. I originally planned on two loops. I actually have everything for two loops but was unable to get it all in the case, so I opted for a single loop just to see how things go. I still have to add some lights and get my window for the cosmos, but this will be ok for now. My temps so far go from 30 to 41 degrees Celsius on my CPU, and stay around the same on the gpu's. I haven't ran anything like prime to test the temps out yet, maybe I will in the future, but I don't really have intention on overclocking.

Very Clean work pal !!

Congrats !!!

Thanks, my temps are great. With this E8400, the core reading seem to be buggy. So i go by the "CPU" temp (Tcase?). At stock voltage and clocks, my temp goes up 1c on load. At 4ghz, it goes from 21c to 36c.

Oh yeah, i love my monitor

What tubing is this? Also, pump and reservoir do you have? All I can say is that is amazing! I really like the black coolant!

[Waymon3X6]

I really like the black coolant!

It's black tubing...

Regarding the pics, I love the black on black! Looks real classy too.

eh?

its black coolant... cant you see the stuff in the res?

I think it's clear tubing with black coolant. Look in the reservoir; you'll see that the coolant in it is black.

EDIT: Argh, NoobCake beat me to it.

[MINIz guy]

It isn't black tubing. When you look at his reservoir, the coolant inside is black.

Also, I think he's using a MCP350/355 with one of those XSPC reservoir tops.

[Waymon3X6]

Oh crap, didn't notice that lol. Well I know they (tygon) makes black tubing as well....

[spoony]

It's black feser one coolant with tygon tubing. There are two mcp355 pumps in the loop, both have the xspc res tops. I actually had the bitspower compression fittings for the thick walled 1/2 tubing to use, but they don't fit past the graphics card on the back of the gpu water block so I decided to use the high flow fittings I had. Before I refill the loop I will try and get some extensions so I can use those fittings.

I was under the impression that was grounds for a ban on XS.

Nice looking build though.

[Pedalmonkey]

it is AFAIK. DDTUNG will ban you without an OC on your system. it is XTREME SYSTEMS after all.

[spoony]

HAHA!

You guys are going to force me to overclock my 9650 to 4Ghz.

[disruptfam]

nemore pics snoony?

good thing, i never keep my clocks at stock

[Astratuner]

hey spoony i wondered with what kinda prodcut u painted your case?

[spoony]

I really didn't take many pictures, but I will try and take some more and get them up.


I just used spray paint to paint the case. The paint and primer were rust-oleum and the clear coat was some other brand I got at lowes.

DDTUNG, spoony needs to be banned! Anyways spoony, that looks really good.

[seamumc]

Spoony,

Great job on the system. What barbs did you get for the xspc top?

Thanks

[spoony]

I originally had bitspower compression fittings, but changed them to bitspower high flow fittings. The change wasn't because of any issues with xspc top though, so if you prefer those fittings they will work fine.

How does the paint hold?

Is it scratch resistant?

I've done mine as well but the paint is prone to flake off if handled too careless.

I think the primer is to blame, acid etchprimer would have been better i reckon but that doesn't come in spraycans as it is 2 components.

Nice job on your case btw.

[spoony]

I noticed before I put the clear coat on it scratched very easy, but afterwards the paint held up way better.
