38mm thick fans tend to have more static pressure than their 25mm thick brethren. It basically means that when you place a 25mm fan on a radiator (for instance), it'll blow a certain percentage of its maximum airflow potential. If you place a 38mm fan on top of the radiator (if the 38mm and 25mm were to have the same max airflow potential) it would blow a higher percentage of its maximum airflow potential. This is why everyone likes 38mm thick fans for radiator use.

Well with that being said what will an airbox do? Will an airbox paired with 25mm fans give the same or better as its 38mm counterparts?

I also just thought of something. When I got this hackjob from [H]Forum the mcp320 qp was mounted on the top of the haf932 with 3 120x38mm fans between the case and the rad. The above fans that I really like are mounted below the rad. Is there any benefit? Also it appears that the pic above is pulling case air through the rad and out the case. Some say its better to pull air from outside in. With doing that though any heat disipation off the rad will end up as stagnant air flowing around inside the case until it is pulled out via any rear exhaust fans correct? Wouldn't it be better (since the real heat producers theoratically "cpu and gpu" would be cooled via blocks) to have the air pull from internally and out the top of the case through the rad since the internal air temp should be much cooler then if running standard hsf setups?

Sorry to jack the thread, but kinda hard to move an already discussed topic to another thread. My bad for starting this up. LOL

Guys, If I may remind that there are rules to this topic.

Four Simple Rules:

1) No larger than 1280 x 1024 pixel (but 1024 x 768 pixel is preferred),
2) The limit on the number of pictures is 4 per case (if you want to post more than 4 pictures, use thumbnails or post links without using the IMG tags),
3) Do not quote images,
4) Finished cases only, no worklogs.

You can find the original thread here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=34877 You can re-post your images in this new thread.

Post away!

Note: If we get dead links/red X's, post will be deleted. Let's keep this thread clean!

sreuland, thats a Full case! Very nice.
Really nice and clean build Racuch!

[cabbspapp]

Accidentally mixed up the inlet/outlet on the waterblock so I'm gonna change that pretty soon. Not sure if I wanna stick with the green lighting either.

[hale88]

Nice job guys

New upgrades: ek's 5970 wb and the new rampage extreme 2 full board wb and Enzotech AS-REII-MOS Mosfet Waterblock with Feser One UV org.

Nice build, i love lian li pca05

[davidm71]

They are enermax magma's
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835214001

I've been reading about static pressure on these magma fans and that they're kind of low but not bad cfm per db sound rating. I have about 5 of them in my case with three on my radiator. They look nice and are blow a decent amount of air just bad with static pressure which you need going through a rad. Heres a picture of mine:

Really nice job except the case Your triple rad over is x-flow rad?

[soda480]

Yes, I originally had a Feser X-changer 360, but I prefer the XFlow because (1) the barb positions allow me to run less tubing (2) makes the interior of the case alot cleaner and (3) I noticed no difference in temps between the XFlow and Xchanger (which really surprised me).
Btw, I love this case; it makes wire management simple and results in a clean looking setup.

Dual loops V1000b

need to update My sig ...

[anubis_is_evil]

nice one oli4v...

btw what silver tube that you using there ?

[Alexandr0s]

I believe that's Tygon's R3603 silver colored tubing .

[CraptacularOne]

Great looking rigs so far guys, keep 'em coming

I recently finished my build and decided to take some pics and thought I'd share with you folks the fruits of my labor

[Oli4v]

nice one oli4v...

btw what silver tube that you using there ?

Thx
Feser 3/8
This weekend he's almost 100% finished, maybe I'll switch the cpublock from time to time


but I ordered an mcw30 for the SB and an EK Coolstram XT 120 to add in the gpu/moboloop

ow and a bp radgrill for the top = much more stylish

Than I hope I can route the 2nd loop 100% out of silver tubing

[lagamm]

Heres pics of my build

Its about 3/4 done



As you can see the top and the sides of the case are off. It was easier to do the build this way without scratching anything. I did 2 loops. Cpu (toxic green UV) and GPU (clear UV blue) In this pic the loops are both filled and leak tested or 3 days. with 0 leaks. I am using Distilled H2O with PT Nuke




close-up of the Swiftech XT with Fesser comp. fittings which work nice.



Pic of the front. Blue ray drive and fan controller will be mounted in the drive area. I cut and spliced/shrink tube the fan so there is only 4 wires for 14 120mm fans. All will connect to the fan controller.



Close-up of the cpu and GPU connections, and yes thats 12gb of ddr3 ram

other side of this "tiny case". Still need to add 3 120mm fans for exhaust.

http://images2e.snapfish.com/2323232...3B%3A336nu0mrj


Back: still need to add the 7 exhaust fans


So This is still an in-process build. It is my 4th watercooled rig and my 1st dual loop. Reason I went 2 loops is I was going to go x-fire off the bat with 2 5870's but decided to wait a while (6-8months) for the prices to go down a bit. I already have the 2nd EK 5870 water block all ready for it though.

[GunterFalstaff]

i just built my first water cooled case...






i am using...

MCP350 pump
MCR-QP 220 Radiator
Swiftech Apogee GTZ
T-Line
Koolance 90degree rotarie
Feser UV green


i also plan to add another 120RAd in my drive bay along with some koolance quick disconnects for easily removing my side panel

some old crappy pics of my old and dear project..... my custom made BlackWall

[hale88]

My Corsair O8D Revision is finished yeh I know, just ignore the 7F code since I did not plug anything in expect for the PSU . BTW, Does anyone knows how to fix the color because the tube color is Blue not Purple ;(... I need some tutorials please
