Water Cooled Case Gallery

[InsaneOne]

Sry, but this is ugly as hell

No cable management, tubing at the edge of bending...

Wrong case to do that. That's not easy in this case.

Wow, that is an amazing job elpibe. Those Soldam cases look amazing. Just wish they were a bit more accessible worldwide .

Job well done

Modzona... I really like what youve done with your SATA power cables between hard drives
Care to teach us a bit about that

[fungry]

Those are 90 degree sata cables. Dont' really know what they are specifically call but the SATA port on one end of the cable is perpendicular. I believe he just had them run down and then ziptied them so it won't get messy. that way the sata cables will stay together.



Nice setup though and I really like that keyboard . Old school.

[~aoe~]

I believe he's asking about the power cables, not the data cables.

There's a brief guide on how to do this on the Xtreme mods forum here. How easy this is to do depends largely on the SATA connectors used by your PSU. If they're easy to remove, it's simple.

You just take some of this and some wire, And there you go

You have to go old school I did use that most for that it dont have the windows button. Hate that button!

Edit: You are right about the sata cables. Just 3 90degree ziptied for the clean look.

Ooahh indeed he is!

Oh man, I love that button.

Well here's my new build, enjoy







Still bleeding the loop so lots of tiny bubbles are visible.

Wow elpibe10! Your son must be lucky to have a computer like that! I wish my parents would buy me things like that.

I cant wait to build my 2nd Watercooling, I have learnt a lot of my mistakes, and will try not to repeat them.

I got 1/4rd of my order shipped to my place.

[junkun13]

white coolant?

[rafwlkp]

white coolant?

No, its Feser One silver tube.

[WoutZoR]

No, its Feser One silver tube.

I guess he is looking at the fluid in the resevoir

[Garrett]

That tiewrap (pink) on the fitting of the gpu waterblock isn't enough imho...
The tubing might slide off slowly... been there done that
You'd better use something stronger to keep that tubing on there...

You got almost the same stuff lying there as what I go in my postbox two days ago haha. I already have my CPU/GPU blocks lying at home, ordered my NB block from EK today together with some Tygon tubing which hopefully arrives next week.

I hope to get all of this including the radiator inside my Lian LI

Ive got a hose clamp on the line from the 120mm rad to the cpu block. I only need it on those 2 cuz there the only ones that were sorta loose. The other ones wont come off unless i cut them.

Gorgeous!
Seems you put a lot of effort in it.

Thanks
My biggest hobby is my computer so yes, most of my spare time goes into it. I've customized al of my waterblocks.
The CPU block is a TDX for socket 939 which I made a custom LGA775 mount for. The base of the TDX is also bowed [CLICK].
Same thing for the chipset block. Its a Maze4 NF4 so originally it doesn't fit P35/X38 chipsets, so i made a custom mount for it also.
The EK waterbloks came with ugly black bolts which I replaced with nice chrome ones. The chrome ones look way better with the chrome fittings imho.

TDX 939 custom mount:


Maze4 custom mount:


EK-FC3870 mod:

Above = with chrome bolts
Below = original bolts

No, it's just regular PC Ice Clear. Tygon Silver Anti-Microbial tubing.

Looks whitish in the reservoir due to millions of tiny air bubbles created by the cyclone in the EK res. Does anyone know how to stop that by the way ?

I also replaced the ugly black bolts but with polished stainless steel caps and had the alloy heatsink copper plated to match the rest. Polished the block as well.
