Watercooling by Malik

[Malik]

what radiator are you using? most i find are too thick to be mounted internally like that

First i wanted to mount ekwb 420 radiator. But after few days about how i can mount this rad - i give up It's to big for this case. So i try with other rads and and only these mc rads fit perfectly. The thickness of the radiator allows you to mount the normal fan (25mm), but there is nothing on the motherboard - and this is the most important advantage of this design radiator. In addition, the radiator body as the only fit perfectly to the anchorages in this case. Radiator is mounted on the front without any drilling or cutting holes. Hence the decision to choose these radiators. Temperatures are satisfactory. The LC system copes perfectly with waste heat.

wow thanks for that reply, just the advice i needed. Doing a build in this case, i think i'll have to order a magicool rad. That's what you mean by MC right?

[Malik]

Yes, here you have link: Magicool radiators 140mm

I used 420 and 280.

What camera do you use? I'm starting my first ever big build this summer. I was originally going to ask a friend who's into photography to help me get some pictures but I wouldn't mind doing them myself.

[Malik]

I use a Nikon d90 with multiple lenses. Starting from the standard 18-105 lens, i use a macro 90/f2.8 and 35/f1.8, 50/1.4

Of course, obligatory tripod and Nikon Speedlight SB-900

your cable management and your everything management is pretty badass

[disruptfam]

Correct me if im wrong, But did you remove the drive bays hard drive cages and midsection from the fractal Design xl case? Not using a optical drive?

Yup, he's using an external optical drive.

Malik, did you end up using the Aquaero 5 waterblock? If so can we get some pics of how you set it up?

At the moment there is no connected aquaero water block, because it will be in another place. Only then did it inclusion in the circuit. But I do not see any problem with that to connect it.

For now - water block mounted on the motherboard, ekwb easy mount for cpu plus ekwb backplate. In the end I can say that all liquid cooling parts are mounted.

Now the system looks like this ...

Really beautiful work...

[Phaseshift]

damn I can only dream that my build will look just as a good as yours malik, you are a great inspiration! That is certainly a beauty!

btw do you video cards sag a little? Mine with the block + backplate sags a lil, I can't tell in your pictures. If it does sag how did you get it to straighten out?

Solution - EKWB SLI connector

[Alexandr0s]

Yeah, the EKWB SLI connector helps to create a single solid structure out of two cards, instead of two seperate cards, so they sag less .

+ 600 dollars haha I have to order another GTX 580 then haha

with the added mobo block, how are your temps now?

[Malik]

with the added mobo block, how are your temps now?

Almost the same. They differ only 1-2 degrees. Flow fell by 10l / h
You could say that is a very good result

Have you got a picture including the pump placement? I'm considering the case and doing it in a similar way to the TJ07. Not sure where I'd put the pump though as I'm planning on putting a quad + dual rad in the bottom with the PSU side mounted.

[jacenty]

Brilliant work, brilliant photographs. I am full of admiration for this what you did.

Excellent photography, and beautiful system...

In this case can not be done like the TJ07. Since the amount of space at the bottom is small for such a system. The last photos without cover:

Malik on the last pic what is that lettering AquaComputer coming from?

I just started with a Nikon D90 and I guess you're using a tripod for making your photos. Can you recommend me the one you're using?

You don't have to askt the last question if you think it is too Off Topic

I have put a quad in the bottom of my Fractal Xl, it is possible with some dremmeling at the front and also you could fit a double rad as well in the bottom along with the PSU mounted sideways

In that case, my mistake
