@masacre: nice case! you could have gone with a red coolant...

@masacre: nice case! you could have gone with a red coolant...

Unfortunately the case is not used because the Red Dye tubing
In fact Uv green are the coolant that use is Blue ...
Well, here is my one and a half years for the Mangere red consegue

anyway with UV light is nice

This tubing using this time

The big advantage is the low restriction with another tubing could not make the legs as closed

callen, I like the recent changes to your machine as well, very clean and you can tell a lot of planning went into the proejct!

Very nice coolfris...very nice!

a Bit late, but: Thanks!

Nice deadeye

is that a 400mm reservoir?

[HESmelaugh]

Very nice! Excellent first watercooling build. Show us some pics with the sidepanel on.

[Waterlogged]

Oh yay! An Alphacool res with the aluminum caps. Mine broke just sitting on top of a bunch of spare parts in a box just like anything made by Tt.

Thanks! Sure, no problem. I'll add some tonight.

Thanks. It's a 250mm ... here's the link... http://www.arcticmod.com/computer-mo...ch-systems.htm

Waterlogged...i know that made sense when you posted it, but i'm not following, sorry. <:-) Are you saying there's a connection between AC products and Tt ?

Oh yay! An Alphacool res with the aluminum caps.

Are you saying i'm at risk for the Alum + Copper corrosion problem ? The materials listed on the site are "Reservoir Material(s): Rohm Plexiglas and POM" It's the same res as the one with black caps. I don't think there's any alum. in this res. If anyone can verify, please let me know. Thanks!

Not a patch on some of the art pieces in this thread, but here's my latest build.

First off apologies for the crappy phone camera pics. Secondly apologies for the excuses and lack of photography skills. I tried to tidy them up in photoshop, but the official term for this process is called 'Polishing a turd'.

Just made the move to sub zero. A lot of head scratching involved trying to figure out how I'd get the contents of my TJ-07 in to this tiny Lian-Li P007, but I think I got there.

First off from the crappiest of my camera phone pics the only in progs I took. Somewhere to mount my Rad, and get a bit of extra airflow out of the case. A bit of dremeling



The finished article in all it's badly exposed and grainy glory.







The sensible stuff







This one photo came out not bad. Looking up inside. Pretty happy with the my dremel cuts.



So there ya go. Fun'n'games

Just adding this last shot. The pump and res tucked away in the drive bay. Just noticed the foam in my res, need to sort that out lol

a potential mod could be to tap the side of that res near the top for an inlet (water flowing from the radiator) or get one that already has it like the EK. it would eliminate the long tubing run going down to the bottom, and would make the loop OH so clean.

again, i love your setup -- it gives me many ideas for my v1000

Forgot to mention the tubing is 7/16 Id on 1/2 OD barbs. Its a very tight fit so i don't believe
there's a need for clamps. The system was leak tested for 24 hours too.

Personally I'd still add some clamps just in case as when the water warms up the tubes soften and become more likely to pop off. A couple of posts after you someone did the same with 3/8 over 1/2... I think he might be okay without clamps

I think i will. It does look nicer without them for the photos tho, but thats all over now. I'll just start with zip ties and if i get concerned i'll whack on some clamps.

very cool...thanks for the feedback...i certainly have a new appreciation for all of the fine builds here...pictures just don't capture the amount of work that goes into one of these builds.

I'm glad i've been able to inspire some ideas.

that is a good mod idea.
i stayed away from the ek res b/c of the cyclone issue, but if i went with a top inlet, that could work. how full would the res have to be to have the inlet on the top and output on the bottom?

This is my second try on WC and i failed miserably. I was in a big hurry to get this thing ready to lan party in finland, called assembly. Didn't wan't to go there with laptop

When I get home from there I'm going to rebuild it once again. I already have MCW30 block to use with NB. I also need to make some kind of HDD mounts as I have more HDD's to be mounted. Somehow I need to make airholes to sides of the case, airflow sucks now AND lot's of other things I need to do differently.
Funny thing is that when I looked others WC builds I liked the black exterior, silver alloy interior. But now when I did it, it does not look good to me :\ I think I need to paint interior matte black (opinions?).

Just wanted to share so I could get some opinions of my build so I would not do the same mistakes again. so please comment ^_______^

Hopefully here isn't too much pictures from one build:

[disruptfam]

imo it looks nice as it is mate...

but the matte black interior would be very nice indeed

İ like this V2000

If it's got silver end caps, I'll guarantee that they are aluminum. AC did a change over to the POM (Delrin) shortly after I got mine, many retailers had the older aluminum ones long after the switch which is evident in the fact that one got one and they made the switch like 2 yrs ago. Unfortunately, many retailers don't understand the products they sell and more or less copy/paste the manufacturers product page without really checking to make sure the product they are selling even matches the description.

Waterlogged...i know that made sense when you posted it, but i'm not following, sorry. <:-) Are you saying there's a connection between AC products and Tt ?

There's no direct connection, they just behave the same. I bought one of these despite knowing it had aluminum but quickly came back to my senses and yanked it out after ~1 months use. The only liquid that touched it was PC ICE and water. After about another 4 months of sitting on top of a box full of spare parts, it did this all by its self. Not really sure why the hell I'm holding on to it though.

Clamps... clamps... zip ties, whatever... don't be a hero!

My Rampage Extreme rig just put together




Enjoy!

[slim142]

Very clean and nice eternal
Please let us know if you find any problem using the fusion NB block

[ShArKo]

well this is my new mod....Is not done yet, but

[Janno]

@ eternal_fantasy

...and what's up with that long tubing run fron GFX outlet to NB inlet?
drain valve?

very clean work, btw

Asus finally wised up and made the block out of Cu instead of Alu. The new heatpipe system uses Cu, the old is Alu.

Now only if we could get them to change to 1/2" barbs.

was playing around with the tubing, and found the little clips on the bottom of the Zalman case, which BTW was for HDDs, clamps onto the 10/8mm really well... and frankly IMO it looks much better then if I were to just have a short tubing stright from GPU > NB

And thanks
