My TJ-09 Dualloop rebuild *obvious 56k*

[oerekum]

Hello all,

I thought I'd start a humble worklog about this. I've had my pc watercooled for some time now and I felt like a big upgrade since I'm going back to college in september. After which it won't be likely I'll be upgrading much due to time and money =D.

Anyway, I don't like external radiators etc much. For the simple reason that I sometimes take my pc with me to mates and game around for a couple of days.

Here's my old setup, kind of:



A few weeks ago: a small pile of new stuff for Oere! Q9450, el cheapo HD3450 card, motherboard and a ram cooler:



My current setup:



This is what I'm posting from atm, I don't have a 2nd computer (Sold it). I'm waiting on my laptop =( And yes I have received two Sapphire hd4870's in the mean time. I don't have a picture of it sadly. But for those of you doubting it, yes they were also in boxes and they also had a driver cd included etc. like all other videocards =).

Also got me some Primochill tubing, I'll be putting black Primochill coils on these;



And Tygon R3400 with Primochill coils:



Other watercooling parts:

-DDC3.2 with XSPC top
-Swiftech MCres
-EK Supreme
-PA120.2
-MCW30
-D5 vario
-MCR320
-Distilled + PTNuke (Want as little trouble as possible.)

Still debating on what blocks to use on the videocards. MCW60s would work perfectly, since I already have one. Prolly won't need ramsinks because of the stock cooler piece which is compatible with the MCW60.

But those EK blocks look damn nice =(

Anyway, going along. Silverstone says: omgvgacooling etc:



I say, CPU cooling!





I cut out a piece of black ACryan acrylic and screwed the radiator to it with radboxes. I originally bought those radboxes as a safetey net incase I could not pull off fitting the radiator like this, but this worked so nicely I chose to keep it like this.


The MCR320 will be mounted in the top mesh as in the old setup. I'll have to get the CPU loop done before thursday due to a lanparty. So next up:

-Ripping apart PC
-Blow dust off with air compressor
-Make a freaking decision on the vga blocks
-rebuild stuff!

Thanks for reading.
