Fits Radbox monster build (work log)

[Fitseries3]

i wanted to make something that would cool my entire computer and handle the load of a i7 at max.

i'll be using 2 HWlabs 560GTX's that gary from sidewinders ordered for me from HWlabs.

i'll be using 8 delta FFB1424SHG's for fans. these are 140mm x 50mm and have 237cfm at 24v.

to power the fans i'll be using 2 meanwell S-100-12's and a meanwell S-150-24 for my pump, a pdd-20.

i'll be using 2 EK250 res's as well.

heres a video to show how loud it is...

things you cant see in the pics....

1. fan psu's allow for 9v - 17v so i can regulate the fan speed from the psu.
2. like the fan psu's, the pump's psu can be regulated from 19v - 31v to adjust the pumps speed/flow.
3. unit weighs 47 pounds filled when full of water.
4. dual res makes bleeding the loop A LOT faster because it allow for 2x capacity when filling the loop. looks cool too, at least thats my opinion.
5. fans are modular and use a 6pin pcie connector. i have several more of these so if for some reason one dies its a matter of 4 screws and a simple unplug to replace it.
6. it measures... 27" tall x 16" wide x 12" thick.

U r one crazy man fits....

THAT THING IS BEAST!!!! i love it.

now lets get some benches.

Holy freaking big!

Now this is what XS is all about!

I'm impressed and in love.

[basserdan]

Extreme?




Yep

[Vapor]

Yikes...8x ~270CFM fans. Even undervolted to 9-17V that's a lot of airflow

Looks like a fun not-so-little build

[CyberDruid]

Those rads make the pumps look small

The fans are insane.

[omaryunus]

that is CRAZY!! insane! its gotta sound like a jet engine with all those fans on

[Movieman]

How much to box and ship it to New Hampshire?

[clone38]

I thought for one minute you where going to put your finger in the fan blade was waiting for the screen to go a nice shade of red

[OdinEidolon]

*watching the video*
oh, is that an airplane landing i hear? where? i havent got an airport near my house! HELP!

[Fitseries3]

How much to box and ship it to New Hampshire?

i have ~$750 in it and over 30 hours of assembly.

rads alone were almost $400.

it cost me a bit more than i wanted it too.

[StAndrew]

Need to bolt that box to the floor to keep from taking off!

[Asgard_thor]

impressive

[JWMc]

That is a thing of beauty fitseries! I can't wait to see your temp data for your 920.

[DarthBeavis]

insane in the membrane!!!!!!

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

talk about large. the one question I have with these type of boxes is where are you putting them? I've seen the vids of cyberdruids massive creation like this one and I assume he uses it for crunchers that he isn't in proximity to, but for you fit what is the purpose?

[Fitseries3]

mine is for my bench rig.

it will eventually cool CPU, NB, SB, NF200 and Vregs.

[BlueAqua]

Now you just need to build a weather proof case and stick it outside. That is the most extreme water cooling system I think I've seen.

Agree with that. Very interesting.

if your benching shouldn't you pursue an SS or LN2 for about the same price? obviously its too late now, but its just a thought

[Fitseries3]

oh i've already started building my phase. i've done LN2 and DICE already. i dont like either. i like something that you can run a long time without having to feed it.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

But you dont get any higher clocks being at 32C vs 40C load. Overclocking on liquid is not limited by the heat but by the temperature, you need to drop the temperature of the CPU far below ambient to decrease the resistivity of the transistors in the CPU and couple that with increased voltage to raise the cadence of the transistor switching allowing higher frequency.

Your essentially passing this off as being a short term benching machine that is intolerable to be around in the long term, but in reality your getting the same overclocking capabilities as 2 PA 120.3s and some SanAces that you could plop on your desk and use all day long (a relatively simple MM build)

excuse me for being critical but I can't see the point in all of this other than saying look how big my radiators are....

But look how big his radiators are
