Project Nebula: TJ07 Build

[Sadasius]

Nice build! You may want to switch the use of rads though and stick the PA120.3 on the CPU, NB instead of on the GPU. The PA120.2 will do a good enough job on that card. That is unless you plan to stick more cards in there.

Thanks, I have no intention of sticking more cards (I always prefer getting 1 single more powerful GPU down the line rather than adding another card in) but no one ever questioned the loop setup. I thought the CPU + NB would produce less heat than the GPU hence why I planned to put it on the 120.2, but if that setup you recommended is better I shall do that.

You will not be disappointed in setting up that way. GPU's are meant to run hot but even with that PA120.2 it will run very damn cool. You want the best temps on the CPU, NB for the best overclocks. Also you may want to change your loop order around as well and instead go to the rad after and not before the waterblock. The waterblocks can use the pressure (especially the HK) and no the temps are not better coming out the rad as the whole loop levels off to an equilibrium.

Bigger picture update this time...


Lots of lovely braid and heatshrink

GPU Block + Ram backplate, just forgot to take a picture of the backplate but you can find out what it looks like

Going to have the Blue on the CPU + NB loop and Green on the GPU loop (not suprising eh)

These are here to replace the 2 x 92mm fans at the back...

The fans for the rads. Two more on order for the roof of the case, everything nice and Scythey.

Done my final two orders but a few bits are out of stock
I shall have to wait but I suppose that'll give me time to get the measurements/drawings for the custom bits.

this is very interesting! Subscribed!

great gear all around...nice

any update pics?

any update pics?

None yet

I've managed to break one if my lights that I use for taking pictures
I'll have to make do with 11w ones (was 40w bulbs before) so hopefully the pictures come out fine.

Currently stuck on painting a Lian Li case to get it packed up and out of the way (very cramped with it in my room) and I'm modifying the OCZ Memory cooler to allow better airflow. As soon as I'm done with the case I can move on.

Will post pics as soon as I can (very soon as I'm almost done with the Lian Li).

no worries... looking forward for those pics, when you are ready!

btw, when you are done with that lian li, post a pic or two!

Will do

Might manage to finish it today if it doesn't rain

any progress on that Lian Li ?

Hmm, didn't get any notification email, sorry for the late reply :shadedshu

No progress on the Lian Li yet. I've not had much time to finish it off. Been very busy so I'm concentrating on the TJ07 first. I've made a midplate out of card and I'm just drawing it into sketchup. Hopefully I can get it made next week and get to putting it all together and finish it off.
