Project: Raistlin

[Zw_Roodbaard]

Nice work bianco

I like the first picture with the ViperJohn flowmeter Oohh and thank you for placing these pics because now I will know how my loop will look like when I'm done with planning and building my project. I will also use red coolant and black anti coils :P

on with the second loop...

from the res (one of the left)


down to the pump


up to the rad on top


to the mosfets (it's there somewhere in the jungle of tubes)


to the gpus


through the vipercheck before going back to the res


view of the entire loop

[Zw_Roodbaard]

Nice :P That's really a freakin jungle in your case. Mine isn't going to be so extreme :P

[sniperbob]

wow man...

"it's like a forbidden jungle down there..." (compliments of adam sandler)

Seriously though, there is something to be said for planned chaos. I think this is an amazing project and that your loops turned out great. The only things i see that are kinda questionable are the cathode wires. Is there a way to tuck them close to the back of the case by the cathode box maybe? just an observation.... Otherwise GREAT WORK!

[Angmaar]

Awesome!

haha. thanks Roodbaard.
but yeah, it was a bit ambitious on my part to include the mosfets.

wow man...

thanks sniperbob. it really IS a jungle!
yeah, i'm still working on the bleeding and leak testing. will have the system up maybe in a few days. when it's stable then i work on the wirings. but thanks, i will definitely try to keep it tidy... or bearable at least.

Awesome!

thanks hotwaxisbad
looking at the tangle of tubes reminds me of the anime.. akira. haha.

[twwen2]

Haha wow that is a jungle in there bianco, great work making it all fit!

[bianco]

thanks tween2.
but after all that effort in putting everything in... i am so tempted to change my case. maintenance is a pita. haha. got so many scrapes and cuts on my knuckles just trying to reach in the case and connecting stuff.

[sniperbob]

well if u wanna change cases, i will gladly trade you my server-tower sized koolance case for your cosmos! haha

[bianco]

haha. thanks for the offer man.
but i'll keep the case for another build and have a more 'industrial' bench case for the wc system.

Amazing job, I love the attention to detail like the red quick swap buttons

Hey bianco!

Way to go Xtreme! Think I'll have to read over your whole thread again from start to finish!

New case hmmmm..... I had the exact same idea a few months ago...... and now I have ended up at the Extended Ascension (Version of the BDS). Just waiting for more funds (and seeing what the exchange rate does) before I push the order button! (early christmas present! lol)

Most importantly what are your temps like on your hardware?

[masxerofkartis]

@ Bianco Really nice mod m8. would it be easy for you to show how you mounted the pump there?

Thanks

[BlueAqua]

Really nice work. It's been great to see this worklog progress really nicely. Are you going to take some pictures of the whole thing?

[Detale]

WOW man thats like 100 ft of hose!!! Looks good does all that tubing affect the airflow at all? Those Viperchecks look amazing.

haha. mm cases are like mansions for pc components. good choice! i'm sure you'd have more configurations for your stuff to put in. i've been toying with the idea of having a 'torture rack' type of case. i'm still fiddling with google sketchup and see what i can come up with. those loops are really killing the airflow and it's a big pita to reach in and fix things on the mobo.

as for the temps... i've just finished hooking everything up. will have to install the os and drivers, etc. will have it posted once done. a bit busy this weekend, need to meet up with interior decorators to fix up a new apt that my wife and i bought.

thanks masxerofkartis!
good thing you asked! i had a picture-log of how i did that... but it's weird i didn't have it posted here... let me search first, i hope i didn't accidentally erase it from the cam before uploading it.

Really nice work. It's been great to see this worklog progress really nicely. Are you going to take some pictures of the whole thing?

thanks BA!
yup, i'll have a showcase type of pictorial... a lot of pics of the finished product... so much until you guys scream stop! hahah.

actually those are about 10ft of tygons. minus the trimmings that i had to do while fitting it in. right now, there's hardly any air coming from the front to the mobo area. i haven't placed the side panel in so that air can freely go from the side.

yup, those 2 red orbs look devious! wonderful stuff from viperjohn.

hi masxerofkartis. i was able to find the pics finallly! they were done before i painted the case and all...

i used the mesh that i cut from the case itself


measured them just about the same width as the ek d5 xtop holes


screwed a fan grill in between the ek d5 top and the mesh i cut


voila... pump mounted

Thanks a million man. I would do that in my worklog but since i don't have space for that thick rad i guess i just gonna mount it on the drive bay

[Kibbler]

Wow, that's a crazy inventive way to mount, that's great.

Although now that armeniandave has a 120mm pump mount, could have saved you a few steps.

[Mr.Guvernment]

lol, when i read "Raistlin" i was reading it as "wrastlin" some southener refering to wrestling!

no problem man. that was one of my earlier plans for the pump - have them in drivebays. but eventually, i decided, i needed the drivebays more. matter of priority... need compromise, i guess.

haha. thanks bro. problem with the mount is that it doesn't fit the ek d5 xtop perfectly. i didn't want to drill holes in either the top or the mount. if i used the undesign bracket, i'd have to use the stock d5 mount.

haha. glad it wasn't what you thought... although trying to manage the tubes could be considered... wrestlin'. haha.
