inonefly where is PSU ?

inonefly where is PSU ?

Bottom front—can’t see it because of the reservoir…

Edit:

Look at the second picture... lower right side of the photo...

Where is powercable?

yep the PSU is relocated at the bottom front. Used a right angled power cable, running from the front to the top of the psu then through the bottom vent ( the bottom fans ) to the outside of the case

Made that looks sweet. I would change your loop order tho, i dont like the idea of the pump feeding the single rad and then the resevoir, i think your flow would be a lot better if your res fed your pump
Love the case

thanks for your comment,i put it that way for a reason ,that pump i`m using is more than powerful enough, as you proberly well no,and if the water circulates slower the water move`s slower though the block and allowing the heat to transfer better from the block to the water,and with an idle temperature of 29c cpu @3.2 i dont think that is to bad

[MADEEE]

like the case looking clean and tidy,please check out mine on page 366 if you have the time

*scratches head*

The rate of heat transfer is dependent upon the delta. The greater the difference in temperature, the faster the transfer rate. Accordingly, the longer the water remains in contact with the CPU, the less efficient heat transfer will be, and the less heat-per-molecule is transferred to the coolant. There is absolutely no benefit to having your coolant in contact with your CPU for longer periods of time, in fact doing so will reduce the amount of heat transferred.

By all means, if you can't be bothered, leave the loop as it is. As you say, your temps are fine. But you aren't getting better temps by slowing down the flow of coolant.

Please read the stickies, I'm sure it's explained in at least 1 of them.

yes i understand what you are saying,who is right and wrong about water cooling solution`s you hear so much this ways right this ways wrong.. i use to have the pump straight to the res before and it use to run on idle cpu@3.2ghz,about 35c.now it run`s around 29c as i said.I have a thermometer to keep an eye ambient temperature in th room,but it`s not that i cant be BOTHERED it work`s for me..p.s thought this thread was for showing water cooled case`s only

As Waterlogged said "read the stickies", the guides are excellent

[MADEEE]

RADIUM...nice clean system

[MADEEE]

XPATAR..i have read most of the stickies before..i just try thing`s my own way,and this way my temperature has dropped what more can i say

[rafwlkp]

88gtx screaming: "Watercool me"
Very nice system. Pour liquid to res

Posting pics and giving advice/feedback. There wouldn't be much point to it otherwise, now would there.

Dude, this is basic science. It's not like a "vinegar vs tomato sauce" or "higher head vs higher flow rate" debate where there's ambiguity, it's just not open for debate without extensive controlled testing. Your watercooled rig is not immune to the laws of physics; if you're getting lower temps with a lower flow-rate, some other variable has changed.

[Utnorris]

so here is my pc just 2 pics right now

I see you got your 2 3870's installed, nice.

thx for the positive feedback
And the 88gtx will be watercooled soon, but i dont know wich waterblock is the best.... EK or Watercool (cheaper) ?! My favourite at the moment is the EK Waterblock in the nickel plated version

onist,nothing in my system has changed apart from the position of the pump what more can i say...thank`s for your comment`s..

yes I had a couple of issues on the cards, but from running driver cleaner like 4 times and installing new drivers etc they are fixed, got 17,960 3d06 stock

Here is mine

When I get around finishing this project off and taking real photos, I'll post them here but for now I'm just going to post a link to a worklog for my Lian Li Cube setup. If it's against the rules to post links like this to other sites, just delete the post.
