i think i will have mine on low or off:P no point in having them on medium or full blow wit that radiator lol... only thing i might get concerned about is the mosfet/chipset:/ i cant find any waterblocks for the board im using:( an asus m3a32 mvp deluxe
Why but the blocks when you can make em ;) lol. Doesn't one of your friends have access to a CNC?
yeah... 3 axix router, steel printer, laser & plasma cutter etc etc:P but i only know how to draw .cadīs for the 2d laser cutter :/ the other stuff is quite dificult:D
okay, the leds are using a total of 320 mA and the light controller handles 25 A ? how much does fans use:?:?:?
No idea lol. Does it say on the backing sticker or the manufacturer home page?
mach helped me with the amp question:D so know all of the fans (beside the one in the psu section) are connected to the switch and it works perfectly fine! i noticed that the led light turned a tiny bit down when i starts the fans, but that might have something to do with the low end test powersupply i uses to test it with:P either case it dosnt really matter since its so little lol.
I want pics!!! lol.
your more likely gonna need a video:P borrowed my gfīs cam but forgot it at here place -.- so your have to wait a little while:D also i need some more paint for the huge fan cover on the radiator. decided to paint that as well:D
now... 1200 Watts of cable organizing... took me quite a while lucky the 550W psu is 50% modular:D
ill let the immages talk
dont wory, the back plate has PLENTY of room to fit!
have in mind that this system contains:
2*psuīs (550&650)
4*sata drives
1*sata dvd drive
2*200 mm fans
2*140 mm fans
3*120 mm fans
1*remote controller
3*pumps
mobo, gfx & and lights
water loops contains no less than
2*res
3*pumps
4*waterblocks
2*radiators (9*120&1*120)
all in all i think its a pritty big system that almost looks like it isnt hoocked up at all:D
only thing to do know is to do the last hose routing, and connect the on off swithc!
OMG you hid a lot behind the mobo tray lol. Nice work, very clean.
thx man!
got a very big thing done tonight! filled the loop!
and... i f####d up.. the cpu block has a inlet and outlet.. guess what i misplaced?... yeah.. thats right.. got the loop filled and turned on the pump and a wierd sound came from the cpu block..
nothing else to do than to whine about my missery to a few people and then drain the loop, and start over:P luckyli it didnt took to long! so within no time i had the loop up and running again to discover ONE thing
2*18Watts pumps might be a tiny overkill:/
so i just ordered 2 koolance pump controllers, since the pumps are waaaayyy to strong:P
but. here we go with some pics:) theres alot since i just fired away with the cam:D there seems to be alot of dust on the mod lol... have to get on it with some cleaner;P
thats all fokes:D hope you like what you see!
next up is... getting theese pump controllers in place so that the pumps arent trying to create a tsunami or something... and then get all the air out..
and not to forget:D complete the hdd loop!
as it stands right now i can actually just plug it in and start the BEAST up!.. but i want to leak test it for a few hours before i do so;P
have fun lads!
That looks sick with the black fluid in there. Great job. +rep
So not only am I jealous of the very slick system and phenomenal build quality but also I'm jealous of the Lego Millenium Falcon under the table. They're hard to find these days at a reasonable price. The black fluid is a stunning effect.
The black coolant really sets the water cooling off mate. A very good outcome to a fantastic mod. I can't wait to see those pump controllers.
thx:D im quite satisfied with the koolance myself to! ill recommend it indeed xDQuote:

and a few extra hoses and some other stuff that i just need to complete this beast:D
just got the beast turned on for a little while:D couldnt resist!
now how many inhere can brag about having a 190Watt quad core running passive cooled along with a 200W gfx at a temp of 30C ;P
idle though! but still nice:D gonna have full temp scheme up when i get the pump controllers in
until then! cu:D
Dame that's a nice temp running passive mate.
thx! i got the beast up again this night and am running on it atm!Quote:

NOTICE that theese tests is with one pump running and no hdd cooling yet.
sadly i couldnt get the cpu under 31C :( but the second pump might help on that:P and if i took it down to stock speed it definetly would get it under i think:D
its currently running @ 2.8
imho its some nice temps:D but cant wait to see what they will end up with when all of the boubles is out of the system and with both pumps!
wow...
i dont get it why you did all that work and then just covered it up with that side panel. if i were you i would put a big ole window right there. i dont know if you planned to do that or not but it looks good. +rep.
That is some really good temps, even as passive. Personally I would just keep the fans running at low or medium permanently.
hehe;P just wait until i get the other 2 pumps running!:DQuote:

the 120 mm fan for the hdd radiator is also gonna run permenently to get a little air flow into the case. not much is needed since the passive cooled chipset really is the only beaf.
and with 200 mm fans running along with the other 2 120 mm thats gonna be permenetly (the other is the one in the psu section) the whole thing is as good as silent:P and i love it! just hope that the pump regulators will reduce the noice from the pump... im not that worried about preasure drop since its 2 18Wattīs pumps lol...
only think im not sure of at this moment is how much the xspc bay pump noises... but ill see soon;P
EDIT:
ill have the pump regulators tommorow, and then i will have the change of bleeding the system completely!
also i set some money aside for a new part i am dreaming:yellow: of
hmm thats an interesting reason. i would have at least changed the mesh into plexi or something. also what are your other plans?
well.. i tryid to put black acryllic on the side window, but it didnt look that good... the mesh is giving a better finish:)
did a test run last night. check theese temps out;)
and i got about 52C passive on both cpu and gpu:D
Slick as hell mate. Especially the coolant. Turning out real classy and clean. +rep!
yea i personially love the 2 coolant lots..... very.... unique? is that a good word to describe its awsomeness?
Unique and smart. Won't be draining the wrong loop by accident lol.Quote:

thx man:DQuote:

i apriciate all of your comments and you all helped me get through this mod!
i can say its running like a dream! cpu temps is 31C idle atm! and have been all day:D all at low xD probertly beacuse i got the loop drained for air! so now the pumps are running more silent, and effecient:banana::up:
WOOHOO, nice temps mate.
wow...
thats nice...
think mine ran at about 35 stock in my soprano
Those temps look great. I can't wait to see the other cooling loop hooked up.
Hoses Should be here today! So when i get home from work i will put the last loop together:D
Awesome, can't wait for pics.
yea this will be sweet!!!
So i hope:D but i just got told that the lightning just hit near our house and whiped out all power... And the pc was on:/ i hope the psu's can handle that:D it would suck to get home to hardware grill xD
I will have pics up tonight i think:D cant wait to see the last loop:D ! And just got confirmed that the Hoses Has arrived:) so now its almost done.
Lol yeah I hate lightning. we always get it near our place. My Antec Neo has taken a fair few close strikes and power outs and is still strong. Your PC should be fine.
Yeah:D lets hope so lol... Just hope to hit the 30 c on the harddrives with the watercooling:D
30*c with water, they should get lower than that. Mine sits at about 34*c with a single fan blowing over it.
yeah. but mine is a 4*hdd cluster in tight space, and in the same compartment at the two psuīs xD right now they are about 27/30 cus i just turned the beast on, but after a few hours they are on the 40C ca. :)
hell my cpu is idling @ 32 now lol... with only the raddy fans on low
