    Default 6th GeN. 30TB TriplX

    Ey guys!

    New project on the starting steps now, hopefully gotten some more experience since last time, and going into this one with all my "might"

    Current pic



    -Sponsors-
    THX ALOT to these guys, they are making this project possible !

    OCZ



    AMD


    Anfi-Tech


    Spinnin Wheel


    Netshop


    EK waterblocks



    -Goals-
    I would like to develop my previous design, lots of hot air was blown directly onto other components last time, thats gonna change, all the disks will go in the middle module, while the main comps stay in their own on top and bottom, there will be no more "PSU in the top right corner" type of thing, got OCZ on the team this time, and they will provide some awesome custom powersupplies for this project

    to sum it up :

    * 3 mobo slots (gonna get in a mATX instead of the mITX)
    * seperate disk case
    * seperate comp case
    * watercooled cpu's/gpu's
    * TO HELL WITH PLEXI, god i hate that material...
    * YES to andonized, cnc'ed alu
    * fully welded alu frame

    Yet another day, and lots of plans and ideas keep emerging

    (and yea, here we go again ^^ )

    The windtunnel

    As alot of you know, harddrives produce ALOT of heat when they are stacked up together, and tbh... having around 40 disks in a single box without any way of getting it out efficient will end in disaster and lotsa defective disks.

    Building a windtunnel should prevent most of this, a windtunnel is basically a piece of whatever that controlls the way of airflow, in my case it will be buildt with 5mm plexi (god forbid) and will be housing 3x 80mm fans at low RPM, these fans will pull cold air outside the case, and the larger 250mm fans in the back will push hot air out

    On to the consepts!

    Waterblocks decided upon aswell now, gonna go for OCZ HydroFlow HF-MK1 on all 3 mobo's ^^

    *gottalovecopypaste*




    HydroFlow HF-MK1 CPU Waterblock / For AMD, AM2, 775, 1366 / Core i7 Compatible

    Designed with the highest possible exchange rate between the block and coolant, the HydroFlow can be easily integrated into any enthusiast water cooled system and help efficiently lower the processor temperature. The HydroFlow is compatible with AMD and Intel processors, including the latest generation Core i7 CPUs.

    The triangular fins in the HF-MK1 provide the highest volume to surface ratio of any geometric shape for best dissipation possible, and this special design also creates sufficient turbulence to eliminate the “skin” effect caused by laminar flow. The base block of the HydroFlow increases center contact with the processor core for the greatest possible cooling potential, ensuring maximum exchange and functionality between the waterblock and CPU.

    Whether you’re a first-time builder or a seasoned case-modder, OCZ makes the HydroFlow easy to integrate into your rig by supplying both high-flow 3/8” and 1/2” barbs in the packaging without the hassle of searching for compatible hardware.
