Turtletraxs' "Go Broke" TJ-07 Dual Loop

[Detale]

Yup, distilled. I put 2 drops per liter on PT nuke in there just for biocide reasons. If you want a better pic of the fillports JLML.

Will be overclocking tonite

Yes please. I think I'm going to start my log tonight too Hope you check it out

[Dangals]

This is coming along great! Good to see you got it all looped up and running. cannot wait for some more pics once everything is finished.

Keep up the good work!

[ShoNuff]

I look forward to the Swifty NB block. Will most likely pic it up.

First of all...scweeet build! I like the rad placement and BP fittings. Very clean! I've had my eye on the TJ-07 for a while now. Seems very watercooling friendly.

If you are still interested in the MCW-NBMax block I just ordered mine. Sidewinder says they will get them next week and is taking orders now.

[turtletrax]

Bah, That is looking so freaking awesome m8! The finished look with sidepanel on will be looking so HAWT ! Nice work i love how you managed to fit all in the case!

Thanks allot James Mean allot coming form a guy with a rig like yours

I hope to get Charles_H to cut the window on my case side as at first I didnt think this was an "all out" build. I am sure when things calm down with him he will be in touch.

Yes please. I think I'm going to start my log tonight too Hope you check it out

I will sanp some pics for you today.

Oh I will be, trust me

This is coming along great! Good to see you got it all looped up and running. cannot wait for some more pics once everything is finnished.

Keep up the good work!

Ya, I am glad too. I will be tweaking allot of things, just need to take a break. I will also need to grab some more BP fittings and have to wait for my rotary RMA replacements before I go ahead and do a teardown. Just soo much work that I think the break will yeild better results.

I also have to setup the BigNG with all the sensors. The thing has allot of potential, but such a pain in the ass right now. Seems that the manula settings just wont stick, so I have to set up all the sensors and program it to look after itself. I do have to say that I am impressed with its power output. It is running my 2 pumps and 5 San Aces' with no problem and there is no airflow over the heatsink I wonder if it will burn out?

Thanks for the info ShoNuff It will be better in a bit once I get some time on my hands. I will also be grabbing that block in a bit. Hopefully someone in Canada stocks them soon. Perhaps Newegg

Hey guys

Have been recoviering from getting my wisdom teeth pulled and have some time to think about the build while I do it.

Been having issues with my BigNG and have it nailed down to overheating. The location I have it in does not feed sufficient airflow, so requires relocation and therfore a total teardown. If I am going to do a total teardown I should just wait for my my rotary replacement to do it. If that is the case I do not know when I will be able to do it as replacements seem to off for a bit.

When I emailed my RMA request I asked about the possiblity of buying 2 more rotarys direct as I do not want to do an international order as no-one in Canada seems to be getting them in.

On a good note I heard back from Charles_H and he said he would do me a huge favor and cut my Window for me. I dont think this is something he is planning to offer, just such a nice guy he couldnt resist helping a fellow Canuck out (Thanks Charles! )

I will most likely be asking him to make me a Murderbox drive front for me and perhaps a few tidbits. I think in the srping I will get a whole MB case made for me and either sell this case (which might be hard) or save it for somthing else.

Another reaon to hold off on the rebuiild is I also want to buy a whack of Charles's sleeve and cover everyting with that stuff. It is so beautiful . I dont know if I want the blue or the orange accent. They are both so nice

I also just picked up another DDC-2 and top from my good freind Blua Aqua. I am thinking about getting a EK dual DDC top and running dual pumps on the CPU and sometime NB loop. I am eagerly waiting for Martin's testing on overpumping. We all owe him a huge debt of gatitude as his work is amazing. Redundancy is always nice, but once I get the BigNG running I dont think redundancy is as important, so if I am not seeing gains from it I dont think I want to do it.

Well that is how things are stting ATM. Just thought i would let you guys know. I Have not posted final pics of it in its current state as I am not quite happy with the cabling thus far. It is almost there, but needs work. I promice soon

[bianco]

nice rig turtletrax!
that ek fc280gtx back waterblock is gorgeous!

[turtletrax]

Thanks Bianco

I finally got some time to do a mild OC on my Q6600 to 3.6Ghz and spent some time on OCing my GTX 280. Seems like an OC beast with clocks of 777/1620/2600.

I ran Vantage and got P15383 with no mods to the OS or drivers whatsoever.

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=389912

Will be cranking on it much harder and doing so mods to get higher score

So far the EK blocks are kicking ass

[The[R]eaper]

wow great build man. Great job on everything

I too have a TJ07 and so far am loving this case. it has so many options.

sorry if this was already mentioned but how are you fans oriented on the rads?

i was thinking about doing a dual loop in the future and cant figure out how 2 rads with 120x38mm fans can fit in the basement.

Thanks a bunch and cant wait for the finished Rebuild.

[turtletrax]

Thanks m8!

I too had allot to think about when figuring the logistics on two rads and 38mm fans. The solution was BP rotarys'. Pretty much the only way to do it nicely...

I have the San Ace's mounted in a push config with only the silicon washers installed on the Xchangers. There is like ZERO room left over which is actually nice, as you do not have to mess around with xtra room LOL. So the 120.3 has fan attached to the "front" of the rad and that allows xtra room for rotary 90's, then the 120.2 has 2 fan attached to the "front" of the rad again to make room for more rotary's. They are both oushed up together as there is no play.

Kinda a nice bonus for the triple rad as it is kinda sandwiched between the fans in a big way. Make for sick temps on the GPU

[The[R]eaper]

thanks, i kinda figured they would have to be pretty much sandwiched together.

so aces > 360 > aces > 240? nice

i got some g3/8 to g1/4 converters from mcmaster so ill check those bp rotary 90's out, since i cant find any g3/8 90's.
they seem like the perfect solution for more room there in the basement and easier tube routing.

i like the way you set up the gpu pump with the 90 there. very clean!

Your side panel is in good hands with Charles! You give it a hug before you packed it up and sent it off?

I still have not sent it off yet This wisdom extraction is really kicking my arse. I am beginning to think there is something wrong as the pain is getting worse and just exhausted all the time. I usually dont sleep that great and now I can sleep like there is no tomorrow.

If it is not better tomorrow looks like back to the dentist I go

Dang, sorry to hear about that. I hope you recover soon and can get back to normal awesome status.

[skinnee]

You'd be best to call the dentist regardless of whether you think the pain is getting better. Even if the doc says everything is alright, you'll gain some piece of mind.

This way you have another excuse not to go back to work for another day.

[turtletrax]

OK, so now that my toothcapades are over with I can get back to normal and finnish this thing.

I am going to send my sidepanel for the window treatment to Charles today and I just pmed him for a quote on getting a front and mid panel as well as the acrylic 2x120 top made up for me. Also looking to get a whack of MurderSleeve from him. That should kick it up a notch in the looks department for sure.

And as soon as the new BP rotary fittings are available I will order 2 more and get the MCW-NBMAX and some BP 90's to go from my CPU block to the NB in good fashion like BlueAqua has done (looks great BTW!!!)

I am also thinking of adding a another hole in the midplate to go to the GPU pump in a better fashsion than what it is now. I think a copper long radious 90 would look really good, and if I ever go crazy enough to nickel plate anything I will get that plated too just for looks, or perhaps sleeve it as well.

So, that is what is going on with the build ATM.

[dingdong555]

Nice work!

I also have a TJ07 and my MB sleeving is going to be ordered very shortly

Keep it up!

Good to hear you are feeling better TT

I believe that the website should be up and running shortly as he hinted at that possibility in FC's thread. Plus I thought we had to wait for that before asking as it being so close to launch Still if you can get those it would look sweet

[turtletrax]

Ya, that sleeve is amazing!

Thanks for the thumbs up

Not sure if he will be able to start on my parts other than the side panel, which is fine by me. Most of the stuff would be easy to install at anytime.

Side panel and sleeve would keep me happy for awhile LOL.

[skinnee]

Plus, you always have someone to blame additional purchases on.

[Detale]

Glad you're back man good that you are feeling better. any new pics to speak of???

[turtletrax]

Not yet, I will be waiting untill I have some pics worthy of showing. I will waint untill I get my sleeving done and BP gets rotary's on the market again. MY CPU loop really leaves something to be desired ATM.

No worries tho, I have some surprises in store, so the wait will be worth it

[tajoh111]

I really like that reservoir. It looks really nice. Those pumps are nice and small and really can be hidden. Is noise a problem. I heard the mcp355 were a bit loud and two of them sounds really loud.

Thanks. The res's are very nice, but I got them too big. Now turns into a big pain in the arse.

As far as the DDC-2 and noise, as long as you isolate the vibrations they are quite quiet. The one mounted to the basement of the TJ is almost silent as there is so much Alu there. My other one is quite loud ATM, but will be taking care of that in my future revision of the build.

[ShoNuff]

TT...I like your work! So much so, that between you and BA I'm going to kiss my U2-UF0 goodbye and get a TJ07. What I like most about this case is the fact that I can keep my rads and pumps in a smaller case.

Do you have any more pics of showing the other side (left side) or perhaps the gap between the two rads (PSU area)?

You will like the TJ-07. It is allot of work, but well worth it.

I have laid off the pics because I am waiting on parts and I am unhappy with the current state of the build. But I will snap a few shots for you and send them in a PM later this evening

As far as the gap between the two rad, there is none LOL I used 38mm fans and feser rads = no room at all left over. Less than one MM
