Stacker 832 Getting Watercooled (*Heavy Pics*)

I watched your topic from the beginning, and it's very impressive what you've done there!!

Very lucky to have an i7 platform

So what about your "old" rig?

[Mr_Mike]

looks good

[headala]

Sweet, the "bong build" is still going!

Nice batch on your i7; mine's real close to yours. Was running easy today 216bclk x 19 @1.34 vcore. Good luck!

bong build
well exactly

meanwhile i had a little accident with this bong build when i was assembling grafix block





but i plugged the card and it still works

don't know what impact this cleavage will have in future, maybe oc or stabilty or maybe just nothing

old rig is gone, sold at quite good price

[headala]

Doh, that stinks. How'd it happen? Hit it really hard with the cooler or dropped a block on it?

I think you should change the title to 'bong build'. Kindof catchy and will guarantee lots of views!

Stacker 832 w/ Dual Loop WaterCooling aka Bong Build, yeah it sounds right
Thank u for idea, Headala

Card was just dropped out of table with unscrewed block on it
kinda accident
but it works so my upgrade to 4870x2 delayed


Ready for tubing



And now first loop accomplished:
Laing DDC1-T w/ EK top G3/8 -> D-Tek Fuzion v1-> Thermochill PA120.3 -> Swiftech MCW30 -> EK Res 150



Then second loop assembled:
Laing DDC1-T w/ EK top G3/8 -> EK-FC8800 > Thermochill PA120.2 -> EK Res 150



And sytem ready to be feeled with water and leak tests

[djcrossfade]

it would be bad ass if u had a coolit Boreas hooked up it the loop

[rioja]

time to updates!
did a quick tests running following setup









this whirlpool i use to estimate flow



and get poor results
fuzion can't keep a temp, same as pwm cooling through the heatpripes and mcw-30


running 4200-4400 temps getting even worse
so i have to re-config cooling

this guy goes to south



(part from dfi x-38 lt)

this guy goes to pwm



and mcw-30 left in nb

for cpu i will use heatkiller lt

get naked



here is one of the reason of poor stock cooling



and finally funny bug from dfi
if connect stock sound card i e bernstein audio, led fan connected to nb connector will lit even if the board shutted down!
officially confirmed



next part with reassembled cooling coming soon
be tuned

The colour of liquid (pink? red?) is not the best one fot this mobo. Better change it to maybe a black one.
The rest looks nice.
What did DFI did with cooling is .........n/c

[taowulf]

Interesting color choice. Looks like butterscotch in a lot of the pics. It is nice to see something a bit different.

[rioja]

yes guys you are right, colors don't match a bit, and i'm going to completely change color scheme later, powder coat the case etc
meanwhile i'd like to share last pics with dfi
properly watercooled dfi i have to admit
here we go















after all that and more tests i've learned three issues about this mobo:
1. it is UNCOMPATIBLE with D0 procs at >200 bclk
2. pwm temp is still very high even with waterblock. it is getting up to 68C with 4300 1.37v
3. it makes loud hissing sounds under load

well so i decided to try smth different, and i'm happy of it

Gorgeous board Foxconn Bloodrage











and new ocz reaper

[MomijiTMO]

I hope this board is better suited to you.

[Maxspam]

I like what you did with the northbridge block ontop of the stock cooler.
Thus cooling everything
Liked that
too bad it diddnt work
Awesome build tho

[rioja]

yes, with dfi nothing works right except direct airflow
even separate block for pwm barely holds a temp

but with foxconn same scheme works great



45C on NB and 50C on PWM after 10 hrs load in prime\linpack

Just Outstanding work...
