Water Cooled Case Gallery

Very nice rig, but what pump and radiator are you using? I'd hate to think of your flow rates with SB, CPU, NB, VGA, 2x MOSFET and RAM all in the one loop, and the heat-dump must be extraordinary.

BTW what cpu block is that?

dark-redeemer, what cpu block is that?

I believe it's an EK-Wave with an Acetal top. The precursor to the Supreme, it had a much less restrictive design than the Supreme (about on par with the FuZion) but offers worse temps than an Apogee GT or FuZion.

Hey dark, all that on one rad and pump? that's pretty daring.

[Snyxxx]

@ dark-redeemer,

I did not see any mention, but what RAM block is that?

[Pedalmonkey]

AnFi ram block. custom made German block.

[Voo Doo]

Nice work Dark-redeemer.
Just a question though does your res "splash" much seeing as the input is above the water line?

[sargatanas]

it's just a mips freezer with a custom anfi top

[Catz]

Decided to go caseless. It's all a bit messy, yes.



Had a problem with the tubing (1/16 wall) collapsing with the D5 Vario so had to line it with zip ties. Even with them, I can still only run my D5 at setting 3. However, when holding the tubing to make sure it didn't collapse at setting 5, I saw now temp differences in idle or load.

I'm stumped. Must be that the flowrate isn't the limiting factor for my temps currently.

Same here

[dark-redeemer]

Wow, thank you guys. That's a lot of response
The cpu cooler is an EK Wave with acetal top as mentioned before. I bought it almost a year ago and i don't see any need to change it. Of course it doesn't chill as good as e.g. an EK Supreme. But it looks much better than any other cpu cooler in trade.
The ram cooler is a Mips Freezer 4 with custom made acetal top by Anfitec. Mainboard is an Asus Striker Extreme. I do have a P5W, too. But without watercooling.
Changing the graphics card without disconnecting the NB tube is rather difficult I guess. Never tried this before.
Everthing is cooled by one Laing DDC and a single Thermochill PA120.3 radiator. The temps are not the best but they are adequate. Even with the highly overclocked CPU.
There's only few splashing in the reservoir when you put enough water in it.

My water-cooled, Mini-ITX LAN PARTY rig :

Case : Soldam ALTIUM Super X Cube

[[XC] NetburstXE]

@elpibe10 - Can you post complete specs of your mini-itx rig? That looks awesome I might have to build one! Where is your radiator?

[SoulsCollective]

Nice. I would've thought that case would support mATX, though...?

[Vargher Warg]

I wish that I could buy these beautiful Soldam cases again - here in the west!

That is awesome ! i love it, looks so clean

Slight kink feeding the radiator?

Was it hand cut or machined?

@ elpibe10, that is the smallest motherboard I have ever seen!

LOL

Nice work pibe10

The "kink" is cool sleeved now, just not in that pic. I made the case with my grandpa, and yes, we used power tools. But totally designed from scratch

[spoony]

I like that wood case. It seems like you could design a case however you wanted when it comes to using wood. How long did it take you?

[biftek.]

@ elpibe10, that is the smallest motherboard I have ever seen!

And they get half that size. Pico ITX

Nice Soldam elpibe10. Your collection is very impressive. i can only wish to own one someday.

[elpibe10]

Few hours in SketchUp! making everything fit how I wanted, took a weekend of on and off work to get it put together. Does what I wanted, great temps and fully internal water cooling

[redrumy3]

my first watercooling setup
