Time for watercooling.

[grunt_408]

Some goodies arrived in the mail this morning. All the way from the US. .

 

[Widjaja]

You bought some more stuff?
What is it?

 

[grunt_408]

An XSPC 5970 waterblock and 1 2x120 RAD
It will be fitted in a few days. I missed out on the pretty blue tubing so I have had to order some more clear 1/2 id stuff. I will be back with photos when fitted.

 

[MT Alex]

I was just wondering what was going down with your project. Nice to hear about future progress.

 

[Widjaja]

Wow......going all out!
Will be interesting to see though.

If there is one thing I have noticed with modding is, the stuff you find scary to do, isn't that scary once done.

its all about the brass it takes to just make the call to do it

 

[grunt_408]

I have just been holding the RAD next to where I thought I would put it down the bottom and it looks like a no go with that idea. The PSU Leads and the barbs will almost be getting it on. So looks like I will be fitting the RAD up the top and moving all of the HDD's and DVD burner to the bottom bays. Now i have to nut out the direction of flow with it all over again haha. I am not really sure how I am going to run it yet so any constructive ideas are appreciated maybe I need a bay res?

 

[bruiserdor]

Hey mate I love my Bay res 1 ,works great, I cut the top out of my midguard case to take my Rad it worked out ok and I have just put a third fan (on top)and it has dropped the temps by 3 degrees so will add a 4th all in push pull when I get my board back!

 

[grunt_408]

My case has the room up top for the second RAD no problems at all. I am just not to sure on how to plumb it. Should it go . Pump/CPU/RAD/GPU/RAD/RES/PUMP or should I get another Res PUMP/CPU/RAD/RES/GPU/RAD/RES/PUMP ?

 

[sneekypeet]

mine runs as you listed first, no real need for dual res either

@ sneeky got any photos so I can see

 

[trickson]

Yeah were the heck are the pics man !? This is pissing me off I am all pumped up to see this sweet machine !
No pics have to try and see it in my brain MAN That is just !

 

[sneekypeet]

Its sort of spilling out my side door for now. I will snap a quick shot or two and set one here...expect an edit soon

Sorry bad lighting makes the white really bright (need to work on that)

Very nice setup my man.

 

[sneekypeet]

It gets me by

I'm always in conflict to install it all in the 800D. Not sure why the case is awesome, but I know the day I do, its replacement will show up (whatever it might be) the next day. So for now (all right, it's cause I'm lazy) it's staying on the table top. Sure makes cleaning the rad easier

OH MY GOD MY EPEEN JUST WENT OFF !!!

OH MY GOD MY EPEEN JUST WENT OFF !!!

not sure if I should thank you or offer you a towel

 

[trickson]

A TOWEL ! That thing looks Fantastic ! I mean
You know ?

My computer seen that thing and shut down ! BOSD ! Flat out reset and rebooted !

 

[grunt_408]

It would be easy to clean. A good talking point when people come around too. The main reason i am cooling the 5970 is because NASA phoned and they want their turbine back haha.

 

[sneekypeet]

with dual 470s at full go, that was my main inspiration, that and the fact that Danger Den was awesome to me!

Yeah they are bloody loud. That was the first thing I noticed with removing the air cooler from the cpu whilst not gaming oh the silence.

 

[sneekypeet]

I snagged some 60 CFM Lian Li fans, a guy here had a deal, got like 11 of em for $30!

I have to get audio numbers not too far away from my PC, so silence was key to me not having to shut it down every time I needed a reading.

 

[trickson]

I got to say I have just looked at this thing for a good long time now it is really nice . I do want to see if you find a place for every thing to fit in the case nice and clean . Take one when you have it all done as well I really like the set up . I was thinking of redoing mine and taking then off the back but this would mean I need to redo the side panel . Not into that just yet . But man that looks great so far love it !

Plan was to set the triple in the top. The small res and pump would be in the lower 5.25" bays. Wouldn't be hard to do (did I mention i was lazy ) just need to actually do it, so I can even move it
