System Specs

Distilled water, no direct sunlight on the loop, avoid tight bends in the loop. Double-check your connections before firing it up and let it leak test for a while before you power on the system for good. Distilled water should be non-conductive, as it's usually the minerals in the water that make it conduct electricity. Most spills can be cleaned up and dried off without ruing hardware.

There was one time I bought a used Danger Den block that had the O-rings go bad on them. It ended up dripping distilled water mixed with antifreeze on the back of my video card (IIRC Radeon 1900XTX AGP) and into the AGP slot. The system was running fine until the BIOS died on the DFI mobo (common issue in the NF2 days). I got the BIOS replaced and she was up and running again.

Nice hardware. You could probably do with a visit over here.

Seeing the two mice makes me think of this:

Thanks! My plan is to assemble the system in the case, measure & cut tubing, remove system from case, re-assemble loop in case, fill, and then run with an external PSU for at least twelve hours (longer if any issues). Then once everything seems to work fine, I'll re-assemble the system, fire up the loop, and provided nothing has gone wrong, then finally fire up the system. I certainly don't want to kill this new system

And it won't be in the sunlight--should be in a darker corner of the room

Yep, much better. There's always more that can be done, even on my rig. It's a matter of how much time you have to put into it. I've only managed what you can see, and the rest is OK.

Sounds good.

Pro tip: if you're going to run the loop outside the case for leaks, set everything on newspaper. Even if there was a slight leak and it dried before you could fine it, the paper will be wrinkled where the leak was.

I would recommend an additional hour or so in the case when you get it reinstalled, just to make sure that nothing came loose.

Here are some pics of my 'new' rig courtesy of MoonPig who didnt need that un-godly amount of power at his finger tips (nor do i for that matter - but it was an offer in a million years i couldnt refuse)







Apart from a new board, CPU, Ram and Corsair H80i - everything is still the same way I left it as the last pic.

Im supposed to be working on getting all the cables hidden and tied away, I started the task but i ended up sorting out all my software first.

No overclock just yet as im still making it battleworthy, but I will get around to it later this week when im off work.

Ive already taken an extra 2-3days off just for the swap between me and MoonPig as my dad is away and theres no one else at home to accept the delivery.

I got work tomorrow so I will probably leave overclocking this beast until the weekend.

- Aptly renamed 'Rapture X' {Moonpig Edition} (Full specs are on the left)

Heh, I got them from a shop here in the UK. The H80i is so much bigger then my Antec 920 that i couldnt mount it at the back like I originally planned to due to the top 180mm causing a little obstruction.

I was wondering if i should buy a new case but I didnt do anything about it.

If i was gonna go with the newer version of the Define XL i would have got a H100i instead, then again i want to go back to a windowed case so Im looking at some like a Corsair 650D or 800D but the 800D is too expensive

Hey I'm actually using the h80i in my build (Pics are above) but honestly get a new case it's so worth it. I'm reading great temps while oc'ed @ 4.5ghz max temps around 35c. Plus rebuilding is always fun as well as getting new things

No experience with water cooling so ignore my ignorance but why is there traces of red liquid in your loop? Ive only ever seen clear liquid used.

u let the pump run atleast 1h without electricity on the components(mainbaord, gpu“s....)
to make shure all air in the loop/rads/blocks gets out and loop stays dry (fittings connectors), if so u connect your components and fire it up

he still working on it

Besides a small leak in one of the pump's barbs it's been almost 24 hrs without any other incidents since I put everything back together, will upload more pics once the system is up and running, thanks for your comments!
