Shazza's Modest Mountain Mods Build

[SaiNRuB]

This looks awesome, i love all the swifty blocks on the Rampage Extreme.

Dual loops of goodness and smart routing, looks real great Shazza, fantastic job!


Edit. I didnt even see the 3rd loop you got in there for the northbridge, faaaar out!

[zlojack]

Very nice Shazza.

That setup looks like it would definitely be easy to drain!

As long as your temps are good enough for you, that's what's important. That setup sure does look great and it certainly looks like it would be easier to work with for draining and loop maintenance!

I really, really love the Horizon cases!

Thanks for the comments, guys.

My loving husband (of 30+ years) does not approve of water cooling PCs. But, he makes a mean martini:




This was in honor of me still having a working system ... and, his hope that this means I'll now clean up his den and the dining room - where all the parts are stored.

Lovely build you got going here. Great Pictures.

Makes me wanna get a whole bunch of rotary 45's now.

[N19h7m4r3]

Such a beaut!

Nice build!!!

I must ask, what camera are you using?

[rootz0r]

So this is what a 3-loop modest build looks like

[DarthBeavis]

Shaz you really could build professionally . . .you should think about doing individual builds for pay.

Those rotary 45's are the best thing since sliced bread

Such a beaut!

Thanks, N19h7m4r3 ... it still looks very unfinished to me, but I'm working on it.

Wellllll ... it didn't start out to be 3 loops. I just keep getting ideas, the more time I spend here

You're sweet, DB ... but I have a long way to go. I pay attention to tubing loops, but just HATE the rest of cable management. Unfortunately, my job keeps me occupied more than I'd like - it's taken a year to get this build going.



If you've read this far, I'm looking for advice on my 90 degree fittings. Not happy with the one at the pump outlet, and wondering if I should redo things? This was meant to be a temp setup, but I do like the looks and tubing flow ... just not sure if I'm really hurting myself with the res X2 in front of the radiator, and the 90 degree fittings...

That's one crazy build you have there. I'm glad your enjoying your hard work so have fun. Oh and I wish I had one of those vault-tec figures LOL. . . . damn it.

[shazza]

Nice build!!!

I must ask, what camera are you using?

Thanks for the kind words - I used a Canon 40D with the 50mm / f1.4 lens for the recent shots.


Appreciate the comments, Andy and MomijiTMO.

nice build, BTW we have similar systems and im in the processes of rebuilding/liquid cooling it ! LC gear :EK supreme, 2x DD 4870x2 blocks, "hopefully" BP chipset block+MOS, 2x shrouded PA120.3 & PA120.2, 3x mcp355 w/xspc top-res .

She may be older than you think young man lol We all enjoy your builds Shazza you are always so meticulous

[shazza]

Thanks for the comments, quattro and RADCOM (and yes ... you're right ... I'm an OLD lady )


A few pics to show some of this weekend's work:


Redid my CPU loop to get rid of the abrupt 90 degree bends off of the pump outlet / rad inlet. Used BP dual rotaries. Don't see any difference in my temps.





Most of my time was spent sleeving the cables on my PSU ... still have to spend some time arranging the Cables ... just some quick shots after I anxiously hooked everything up to make sure it still worked (note - I fdid test it first in my husband's PC ).

















And, I sleeved and installed my Kaze Master Ace ...





Plus ... sleeved pumps, Power / Reset switches, fans, and more. Worn out, that's for sure.

Very nice work, Shazza!

[j.almonte]

looking good "shazza" love the tubing color selection!!

[Metal]

Wow that sure is a nice build!

[skinnee]

Did you do 2 wires per sleeve on the ATX connector? Looks a little different, thus my question.

[Vargher Warg]

Great work! Hehe! you must be The COOLEST Grandmother EVER!

(recently I found out, that my dad (just retired) is apperntly hooked on video games!
No watercooling though! - yet! )

[omaryunus]

wow just great... I love the 4870x2 loop just pure business great stuff! congrats on a great build

[shoopdawoopa]

looks awsome

[shazza]

Thanks for the comments, folks. Makes my sore fingers feel a little better!

Did you do 2 wires per sleeve on the ATX connector? Looks a little different, thus my question.

Yes, skinnee ... I did 2 per sleeve on the ATX connector. I was a little worried about all the spaghetti doing 1 wire per sleeve, and wanted to try something a little different. In retrospect, probably a bit easier to control the "look" by doing 1 per sleeve. I'll see what I can do after playing around with it a bit.

Note ... didn't do 2 per sleeve to save time. The time consuming part is removing the pins. Actual sleeving takes just a couple of minutes.

Let's just say, the grandkids love coming for a visit to check out my gaming collection.

Good for your Dad ... there's hope for us old folks yet.

I really like your use of rotaries. Makes the build look much cleaner =)
