OBS! (Overkill Bench Station)

So, i like watercooling, A LOT! And that have lead me to a derail on my PC-Beto project.
I recently got the Phobya radiator stand and fell in love with it.

I then talked with aquatuning about making a project over this thing, because as you might know, overkill is underrated.

Watercooling and hardware supplied by:


It didnt take long for Christian from aquatuning to agree to send some stuff to make this overkill station

Please notice! This "build" will feature minor modding, and LOTS of watercooling!


Now this was how i recieved the radiator stand, now lets get some hardware into it


Here it is, filled up with some stuff Christian already sent me.


But trust me, there will be much, much more stuff in this stand

I already have the finished list of parts, but i dont want to say to much But as you might have guessed two more 360īs might find its way inthere:idea:
This is actually all for now, but i hope to continue this in a few weeks when i get some more hardware!

Hope this have caught your attention

Damn that's a big stand you could cool a V8 engine in that thing with the right rad.

On the more useful side you could have independent loops for different components so there would be easier to swap.

Also i would try to mount the pumps and a powersupply for all of them above the rads

We are here now

Time for the next update on this monster

Watercooling and hardware supplied by:



I started out by prepping the radiators with fittings:


And then took the fans out, and they shine nice and red


Now, a tiny problem, the QDīs couldnt really fit beacuse of the radiators.


Badabim, badabum, problem solved. Just turn the radiators! This also makes the tubing look a bit better.


I also had to connect the radiators in series.


This was simply done with small lengths of tubing.


Now this is something that i doesnt do often, a shot with a messy background:P I was in the middle of figuring out how to run the tubing the best.


And tell me, doesnt this look badass!?! Dont mind the tubing on the left, i ran out, so that piece was to short lol!


I wanted to route the tubing on the left like this too, but i didnt have enough. It fits great in between the fans, and is very stealthy inthere!


And in case you are wondering why i placed the fans like i did, this is the reason. They are just so damn easy to clean! Just pull of the blades, and whipe them off

Thats all for now. I need to get some more tubing, and get the MiniNG installed

Later!
