PROJECT : Xtreme Elemental Dragon ! ! !

[RCG_Bex]

No - it's still stock. It's got a little bit more in it before modding is required but the temps were WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too hot - hence the overkill rebuild

Hi Bex, nice build you've got going, i'll be following it closely. I hope all the rads from the sketch will stay in the final design, would be awesome.

Anyways, if you don't mind i'd like to ask you a question:

I'm assuming that's the tube sleeving kit from MDPC (http://en.mdpc-x.com/mdpc-sleeve/sle...leeve-pack.htm) you're using, so that would mean you're using 15.9mm OD tubing yeah? I've been having trouble finding fittings/barbs in black to go with those in Europe, would you throw me a link to where you ordered yours please?

Thanks and good luck!

[RCG_Bex]

Braiding isn't from MDPC - braiding is from KustomPC - Techflex braiding - was 12mm if I recall with 20mm heatshrink. PSU braiding is being re-done with braiding I got from WatercoolingUK (I think it's also Techflex).

The hosing is XSPC 3/8" ID 5/8" OD stretched over BP 7/16" ID 5/8" OD comps so it's pretty tight - but I love the flexibility of the hosing

Not sure the 360 will be staying but we shall see... Having issues getting fans... not a happy bunny.... my few remaining Zalman F3's will do for now though... Picked up a TFC240 for the bottom compartment so matching rads there

Excellent to see you building Bex, and thanks Flint for bringing my attention the the tags,
However it was the small print and the comment from Swift_Wraith in her sig that really got my attention, not sure if someone have verified that last comment.

PS.


It CAN be confirmed - just the guy who can isn't on this forum :P

*unlurk*
It can be confirmed that Bex doesn't have a penis

That said she does rather put my (currently) stock TJ07 and aircooled 920/Gigabyte Extreme to shame ... Ah well have to see what we can do about that

Keep up the good work Bex, having seen your case in person it is well worth the effort and attention to detail.

*goes back to lurking*

[kgtiger]

Sounds like thats not all you'v seen whilst lurking.

Welcome to XS GarethS

Looking forward to your work log when you WC your stock TJ07.

[RCG_Bex]

Sounds like thats not all you'v seen whilst lurking.

LOL indeed it is not

God I want to make some sort of plumbing joke but I just can't think of any... fail...

*Whips Gareth* Isn't this place a bit big for you?

Anyways, looking great Bex .

!!! UPDATE !!!

Finally home in Scotland after being stuck in snow over the weekend. Greeted by more snow and extreme ice. It's -10c outside *cry*

But I has goodies!!!



Couldn't decide what to get so I bought all 3 for some trials...



Except this 1 looks second hand.... has dirty marks... used looks... connector is poor quality... it buzzes... need I say more?



All fun and games until you catch your nail on a kaze 3000RPM... even at 5v these things are nasty!!!



Shifting heat and being tested at different voltages :P

And what's this...



ANOTHER PACKAGE!?



OM NOM NOM GOODIES!!! SHINIES!!!



Can't have em' looking like that can I?



Lets use 1 of these!





Beautifully made dual top! Tis very smexy!

Wonder how Xtreme this little setup is...



Mini test setup....



....oh jesus



...

...

...yeah ....this could be fun...effect is pretty much the same even on lowest... think I might need more than a bloody anti-cyclone plate!!!

*face palm* I hope it slows down a little with some stuff added to it... EDDIE WHAT HAVE YOU CREATED!? You sick SICK man!

Will hopefully get some braiding done and the loop setup again on test until my new water arrives and decide whether or not it's worth doing my GPU if it's still alive...

You guys think I should daisy chain the D5's or leave them separate?

[whuzabi]

POWER!

Really nice setup you have there. Just be careful with those UKs. I am now missing part of my index finger thanks to them. Took over a week to heal too.

Power or bubbles all over.

[RCG_Bex]

I swear this thing has more power than my shower does!

I can't help but laugh every time I look at those pics of mine... makes me want to turn the D5's back on as they are!

~Bex

[Raiden]

And even better your a girl , i wish i had a girl that liked computers but i guess theres not many , oh well he cant have it all


Keep up the good work Bex il be folowing this !

[BlaZ1n.IVXX]

Wow the pumps are sooooooooo nice. Blaz likey.

[Santzia]

I can´t help but laugh out loud looking at the pictures. (literally)
That is insane.. I would be worried about my tubing disconnecting itself with all that power...

Anus GPU is working again after some fidgeting... but my Silverstone DA850W isn't... I think it might be why the GPU stopped... now sure... Going to investigate the cables. I think there's something wrong about my 24pin cable (had been adjust the braiding). Running it off my Enermax 650W at the moment...

PC guzzled up 2L of water with the dual D5's, 250 EK res and TFC 240 added...

[nigelke]

intresting

going to follow this
and love your stuf

[RCG_Bex]

Small update...





You can see the little DDC looks quite outsized....

Did some sleeving - haven't done the PSU yet - not enough braidin g- but to give you an idea of my current braiding throughout the case...



Replaced and should all look like this



Some more pics of the hosing now adjusted...





The braid it movable so I can get the comps on so they slide all the way down - the gaps aren't there now...

[van_arnam]

just read the whole way thru-excellent work and fine use of dual d5 top. looking forward to seeing temps w/ better flow.

i'm guessing blocks in line, an anti cyclone, and more water in the loop will help out the water issue you're having.

just bought a pair of iwaki md-30 rzt's (rd-30 + a couple more feet of head pressure) and have been reading about pumps...i wonder if one cavitates at all w/ an EK dual top...

[chinobino]

Couldn't decide what to get so I bought all 3 for some trials...

lol... you have that problem too?

Nice work so far .

[kgtiger]

Nice work Bex, I like the dual EK top, looks sweet.
When your not running your PC you can use the D5 pumps to run your bubble bath.

[RCG_Bex]

Well I've lost my tube of MX-2 which I'm not happy about. I swear I've moved it somewhere daft after the many bottles of lager I had last night.... So amusing as it is - I've used a liquid metal tab for a GPU on my CPU - yes the tab is too small - BUT - my delta is stepped and it's not too much smaller than the stepping on it so it'll make do for now. Been using lquid metal tabs for a while now, saves the hastle of spreading etc. Nice results too.

Through it all back in the case last night to get her up and running over Xmas / New Year so I'm not bored to death. And holy smokes... 10c drop without really doing anything except a new pump and passive 240 rad thrown in.... The water in res is still amusing - especially when I first filled it up. Not so bad now but my water is over used and a bit cloudy these days so you can see the flow in there

New water in the new year though

Great stuff! Really liking the sleeving and sleeved tubing.

Good thing about the drop in temps with the extra pump. Maybe add another DDC?

It can only really help
