Project: ATCS 840 Black & White

[Ced-G60]

white fluid XP 'nanofluid' would have been my choice - good build though

im a sucker for the black and white systems

Where can i buy this stuff ?

Quick bench of both my drive (intel with the new Firmware installed)

Just spent a little time reading the whole worklog and i got to say it turned out a nice looking 840

Hey ced, just wondering, any shots of ur rig from the top?

I'll see about making more photo soon. i still need to buy my side window panel.

Super nice build! Love the colors and everything.

i would love to come, but that plan ticket from Paris to las vegas is going to cost me more then the build

I'll just wait for the price and delivery time

I did another bench after touching the GTX285 speed.

What do you think ? i can probably go a little higher.

I need to touch that Corsair RAM now, CAS9 is slow.

Digging up my build for update. Need some advise.

My pump/rez just above the PSU wasn't such a good idea. Its getting very hot. So hot that the green dye broke up in less then a month...


SO i though about a front bay rez. I was thinking using the XSPC dual DDC one. I also like the EK Spin rez, but am not sure it will run good on with 2 DDC pumping into it. Seen anyone do it yet ?

Putting a single bay rez would also mean breaking my 2 loop into 1. I would still run in both radiator.

What do you think ?

[Wezly]

Go with the XSPC dual-bay dual DDC rez.
That way you still get your dual-loop.

I see no personal problem with the spin rez, just place the pumps on the walls of the 5.25" bays or somewhere that they have a little extra distance. Actually, if you are removing the tube rezes you could put both pumps on the wall next to the mobo.

Nice shot by the way. Looks amazing!

[Vinas]

Yup XSPC dual bay pump res is the sex!

[Ced-G60]

Ok, thanks for the advices, I went and order myself a XSPC dual DDC. received it this Friday.

Will do the fitting on Saturday night and Sunday and I'll come up with more photos

And the work done on the PSU so fare.

Hi,

How did you sleeved the PCI-E of this PSU?
Got the HX750 and there is a kind of plastic ring at the end of the PCI-E cable.

Did you just cut it?

Are you sure it's running that hot ? I mean it's not in direct contact...
and if it is so hot that the color's fading, your components must be heating up too, don't they?

otherwise you could switch the green with a deep blue that would just look awesome with your build....
and ofr the heating problem I would just try to insulate more efficiently the pump from the PSU.

saying this, with the idea that a single loop would be easier and even quieter (I know the DDC is not that loud...I have one!)

I did not cut them, the 2 PIC-E lane on the hx850 didn't have them (but the other do) I only used 2, so no need to mod the other cables

Well thr actual temp were not so high in the gpu loop, put the pump itself was much hotter over the CPU was.

I made the change, but i still need to make some mod to it. It's running better i can kind of like the look of the build before the change better :x

[scook9]

I love those cases. Ever since a customer asked for one at Micro Center and I first saw one I was hooked. My next desktop will be in an ATCS 840

That PSU is awesome as well, is what I have at the moment.

[Ced-G60]

Hi all,

Digging up my build treat for some update

In the following weeks, I will make a few change to the build. Am first going to buy a fully modular PSU, probably a Seasonic 650W (my Corsair HX850W is overkill really for the gear I run). Am going to sleeve it white and black again but this time I will be using white and black cable cut the right length before sleeving in order to get a perfect finish.

I am also going to rethink to loop, I don' like it this way. I have some idea in the work for that. Probably going to change the bottom rad position and other parts.

Update soon

[madindehead]

Nice mate I am looking forward to see what you do, as I am thinking about putting a loop in my ATCS 840 later on this year

[josk1]

if you're lookin' in the 600s PSUs fully modular, i'd say go with this or this one if you need a bit more... it's cheaper but still very good.

[HuffPCair]

Great looking case man. It makes me miss my ATCS lol

Great wrk again

[Ced-G60]

Hi

Am going for the Corsair 850AX (maybe 750).

I have big plan again, am going to re-do all the case with a few special idea I haven't seen done much to this case.

wait and see

[madindehead]

Sounds very interesting mate You upgrading any of the other parts in it? Like GPUs etc?

[Ced-G60]

No upgrade plan for the gear atm. (Maybe video card, but its not worth the money for me to upgrade the GTX285)

Will change RAD, ddc top and rez. Going back to single loop with both pump in line with Ek twin.

A few other idea I have, that keeping a surprise for now

[Ced-G60]

Update time !

So, the computer is on the work bench. That what it look like after a year of running time !





Of course, after a year, no side panel and no cleaning, we are having a dust party inside...




Luckily, I have my buddy the monkey watching over



The loop is looking mess up, After a flush about 6 months ago you can see that the rez for the CPU/MB loop as almost no dye left... (feser)



I have started the first mod I had in plan, do you see where am going with this ?


More news tomorrow after work
