Well I'm looking forward to seeing this, GX2s with WBs are awesome looking (mores so than normal)

It'll probably take place this weekend, I'm going to start taking my Thuban out of the case and setting up the water cooling gear in the case till I order remaining pieces.

I probably will make a 2nd log for the 2nd cruncher with the GX2

anything new bro?

Chicken Patty · Sep 1, 2010

Naw, I will hopefully be making a 2nd log for my 2nd rig going under water. This one is postponed for now.

Well guys, I have bought a new case for the build, hardware will be changing a bit as well. For now here is the case. I test fitted the rad I will be using in the bottom and fits perfectly. Don't mind the wiring, it's just temporarily. I need the hardware in there to test fit the WC components and stuff so that's why I don't work with the case empty. Here's a lil something :toast:

Radical_Edward · Sep 25, 2010

Looking good there CP.

(FIH) The Don · Sep 26, 2010

looking good David, you will love the 690 II case once you get some CM done on it :toast:

Chicken Patty · Sep 26, 2010

I know bro, it's a work in progress :rockout:

Hey, it's the whereever rack!

It's been tremendously helpful! The GX2 needs the additional cooling and so does the NB. What can do the job better than the "wherever rack"?

Chicken Patty · Sep 29, 2010

...and here we are with Phase 1 of the Project. Sleeving! Had some left over sleeve from my TT Element S Case, so so far I have only the Front Panel USB Header. I need to go buy some heat shrink later so I'll finish it up then. I will also get going with Phase 2 today which is Mounting of the WC components. I only have the radiator for now, but I'll get going with it. :toast:

[Ion] · Sep 29, 2010

That looks really nice....and it makes me want a 690II even more

Probably more practical than ITX

If you turn around the fan over the GPU (so it's sucking out) that should help GPU temps a lot

Radical_Edward · Sep 29, 2010

Looks great CP, oh and Ion is right, I did the same in my case and it helped my 5770 a bit. I'll change it around thou once I get some more fans.

[Ion] · Sep 29, 2010

Should help even more with a GX2 or double-PCB GTX295, they are designed to blow most of the hot air out right where he has the fan pushing air in

You guys are right, I gotta try that. Hmmmm. I'm finishing up the front panel cables now, sleeving them that is.
