New GPU loop.

[Spawn-Inc]

got my tax return and have finally ordered my gpu loop!

i wish i ordered it 2 weeks ago as i will most likely have the week off to build and find a place for the rad lol.

i will also be painting the case flat black, which i might start now.

update in 2 weeks...

NOTE: the pump will be one of the $30 D4 pumps from petra's.

made part of my mosfet heat sink. took about an hour getting it clear from other parts on the pcb. plus the first one i made was wrong, i traced the wrong side of the paper onto the heatsink.

Sorry about that... was desperate for a new case....

[Spawn-Inc]

no worries, i can get a lighter aluminum one as with my 2 loops and psu the dam thing will weigh 70-80 pounds.

and at least you left all the good stuff :banana:

UPDATE:

pretty much finished painting the case, came out decent enough for the effort i put in. debating on whether or not i want to put the pc back in now or wait for my gpu loop to get here. i think i will wait so and cut out holes in the mobo tray and try for some better wire management.

ok so the parts are in and for the most part installed. i had a leak at the barb on the video card. i'm not sure i should have gone with fat boy barbs as there is little thread and it just reduces at the thread anyhow, so i see no point in them other then chromed and a pain in the ass work work with 7/16" tubing....


anyhow i will leave it over night and check for leaks at that barb and thread on the block. its 4:40 am and time for bed... here are some pictures to keep you happy until i finish it tomorrow, or rather later today.

opened up the high speed yates i got from jabtech and they have the better motors. so i'm thinking the high speeds are safe from jabtech.

OMG you PC is HUGE lol, really different rad mounting system, for the top rad anyway, well if it works who can complain. I assure you, you wont be dissapointed with the MCW-60, very well made block.

[Spawn-Inc]

lol, thanks. ya its huge and weighs alot, im guessing 100 lbs. i don't plan to move it that much so its fine.

[Spawn-Inc]

well i got my D5 vario in and dropped the high pitched noise for some vibrations and about 1-2C(load) lower temps on the video card.

i think i will drain both loops and swap motors like i wanted to do originally so the cpu gets lower. i just didn't think that extra bit of flow would do anything.

Hmm, red coolant that glows orange, different, but looks really cool :D.

[Spawn-Inc]

it was to pink so i added a bit of the blue to help but it went that colour, it looks better under black light. thanks.

The colors complement pretty well, the red and blue in normal light are about the same tone, and the same goes for under UV light. Turned out pretty good if you ask me. BTW, why did you have pink coolant?

[Spawn-Inc]

its feser view uv red but as with most red dyes it comes out pink unless its highly concentrated. i used double what is recommended.
