cdawall's SG05-B redux
This is a carry on from this thread were I was trying to water cool my entire mini ITX build. Well I decided I would try and stuff everything in and around my SG05-B.
The original build looked a bit like this. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Original Specs Intel Core I3 560ES GSkill Tridents 2x2GB 2000CL9 Gigabyte H55N-USB3 Zotac 9800GT Eco FSP 300w SFX The current specs Intel Xeon 3440 GSkill Tridents 2x2GB 2000CL9 Gigabyt H55N-USB3 PNY GTX470 Silversone 450w SFX Now onto the case...For some reason Silverstone never intended for anyone to mount dual 120mm rad's in their case (jerks) so some minor modifications are being made to make do. Some temp fitting inside of the case. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hard mounting the rads ![]() ![]() I want to mount the radiator external for one I think it will look cool and for two there is not enough room to easily mount it. Now looking at that should I run some thick black tubing (I have some rubber 3/8" power steering tubing that would look kind of cool) or clear or what? I decided to mount the res in a different spot. Need some angled 3/8" barbs now. ![]() ![]()

Take your time on the cables. That sure can be time consuming.
Good luck when you leave. Definitely keep in touch. I spent alot of time on TPU when I was over (Iraq '09). |

What fan you running on that rad? You sure it can keep up with static pressure of running it sandwiched on both? Otherwise, awesome work C. Can't wait to see the finished product. Friendly tip, try for some 90* barbs on the pump..

![]() Right now there is just a Antec trispeed inbetween the rad's I am looking into what fan I should have in the middle. I have a set of yate loon high speeds I can use if this one wont cut the mustard. Plan is to use the onboard fan control again like I did with the ultra kaze. No noise until you need it. Other thing should I look into a set of 1TB notebook drives? Refurbished: Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD10TPVT... $70 a pop in raid 0 would be quite nice AFAIC. ![]() That's what all I am looking at from frozen...anyone have any other tips? concerns?

The apogee drive has my old ddc1t in it so it should hold up fine. Current drive setup is a 1.5tb esata and breaking up my raid for a ssd.

Sorry, i have a bad memory as of late. If you're already doing an ssd and breaking up a raid, if you really need the drives to show up as one volume just do a spanned windows dynamic volume unless you need to dual boot for any reason.

I would just go the SSD route, adding it to your current setup.

WOW! Didn't know they made shoehorns that size! Good job getting it all in there Those APD2 pumps are going to make a lot of loops possible that wouldn't otherwise be and/or they are gonna make loops a lot cleaner. i just wish the base or "housing" was more conducive to performance/flow as the port ID is 1/4" i think, would be nice to have them @ 3/8" at least. Maybe they did it on purpose to keep pressures up?

Yup I do I am thinking I want a different gpu for it as well. Can't decide what but it has to have a full cover block available. Maybe a 7850 or something.

Thanks shouldn't be much longer before its full assembled. Goal is to have the Xeon cranked out to 3.8ghz since 4.2 smoked the board. Along with some form of overclocked vga. 7850 would be cool for eyefinity.

![]() Don't get me wrong the 7850 is a freaking beast of a card from what i have seen and if you can swing it, fockin' wing it! ![]() FC blocks aren't for me, i prefer die only for some reason. I just wish i didn't get the run around from people regarding stock levels. It's in stock untill you pay then it magically is backordered for 3 weeks
