Water Cooled Case Gallery

[Pisklink]

Here is my new rig after 3 days of hard work. I hope you all like it.

nice work mate like orange coolant what brand it it?

looks red in some of the pics

[Fragger]

Fesser is my guess. Orange must be a big seller in Holland being the national colour.

@ Disruptfarm

Thx. Actually it is red Fesser coolant but I think it turns out orange now and then due to the flash of the photocamera.

I would appreciate it when you would take a look at the problem I outlined here. This problem is related to the coolant turning orange / brown when putting a red cold cathode on it (seems like it has a similar effect with the flash).

@ Fragger

Maybe orange coolant would be a niche market for the dutch watercooling community. Btw how the hell did you see it was Fesser coolant?!?

knet370 your build looks insane

Im psychotic, nah just a good guess. Thats a nice build but I would of used shorter tube clamps, dont like all that extra metal hanging off them, and get that gpu underwater but you may need some more rad for that.

orange & black seems to be growing on me

[Epicenter]

Here's my current system-- water cooling in mATX rocks. Tricky, but it rocks.
Were it not for the HDD, this machine would be fully silent. I've since replaced the Phantom PSU with an Enermax Liberty which is still silent.




The 120mm radiator mounts to the back in push-pull configuration.


The radiator and fans attach with a combination of screws and zip ties, and the fans operate at ~7 VDC.



All closed up and ready to roll.

Considering upping that to a Phenom X4 down the road, and also swapping out the Spinpoint for another SE16 for maximum silence.

What do you guys think?

[HotGore]

I would cut out that fan grill.

I would cut out that fan grill.

+1


You REALLY need to cut out that fan grille, I wouldn't be surprised to see your temps drop by 10C or more.


Other than that, neat little build.

[Fragger]

What temps you getting epicentre?

[lennox]

heh is it just me, or do IDE cables make you throw up a little?

[XxTechxX]

new to this forum =]

[mit78]

epicenter,its not good to put togheter tubes,heat exchange its whorst,try to sepparate tubes.

[rafwlkp]

XxTechxX love it ! U have the same mobo as me... good choose ;]

[matt100]

epicenter,its not good to put togheter tubes,heat exchange its whorst,try to sepparate tubes.

I bet there's virtually no evidence to support that. Temps around loops tend to be pretty constant from what i understand.

[MayDay84]

Cleaned my horrible rig's wiring a bit



i will make a couple of changes to the pipe going from res to pump soon and shorten the pipe from the pump to rear rad..
