My 900D so far. I have finished the lower cover and finished most of the water loop. The pumps are hooked up and the rez and everything but just waiting on the main system drain for the lower rad to get here tomorrow then I will start her up after I get the motherboard back plate done. Think it is starting to really come together..

Why don't people often run there WC rigs like this?

Rad > CPU > Rad > VGA > Res ?

That has to be more efficient than 2 radiators in series, right?

The water in the Reservoir must be always cold not warm... The warm water must finish only in radiators.

So the pump will be cooled as well before enter CPU/VGA waterblocks and you do not have steam in the reservoir.

Looking good!
Just a thought, but you might have wanted to populate DIMM banks A and B before running the line from the CPU to GPU.

wrong. more than likely water will never get to the point that it produces steam so that's a non issue. As long as you have enough radiator surface area to dissipate all the heat there should be no issues.

the water in my reservoir is always a bit warmer because I have the outlet from CPU going to the Res. then to the radiator. As long as the radiator dissipates enough heat to keep the CPU temps in check I have no problems.

ive been told it doesnt matter which way as it reaches equilibrium.

ive just changed mine to be block then res/pump.... :wtf:

Ya just wait until you get into the the compression fittings I have and all. Talk about addictive. You can spend CRAZY money on water cooling.

It does not matter. The only locking tabs for the ram on this board are at the top. The bottom ones just hold them in place...

right!

you forgot the pump though XD

perfect would be

-pump-cpu-rad-res-pump-gpu-rad-

i.e. identical to a mammals circulatory system

It really does not matter. As long as you have enough rad space to take all the heat away you will be fine. You could have it in any order at that point. At that point you are talking about a degree here and their. Nothing huge. I have a 360 rad cooling right before the mosfets and cpu and cards then a 480 after that and to the rez then the pumps then back out to repeat. Cooling before and after so by the time the water gets around no heat is left before it hits the main parts...WIN WIN really...

Exactly, running radiators between blocks is a pretty useless practice these days. Sometimes it only makes sense, to have the radiator between the block to cool the water before it gets to the next block, but it doesn't make a difference once the system hits equilibrium, which doesn't take very long, mere minutes. Rule of thumb at this point is go for shortest cleanest routes possible.

modification incoming,

i'm waiting on a Thermalright HR 02 Macho Rev. A to switch with my aging H60 (no time to do a custom WC loop and i think HR 02 Macho is more than enough for a X4 955) i switched from 16gb generic 1333 hynix ram to 8gb Corsair Vengeance LP 1866 (tho my mb support up to 1600 standard and 2000oc wich give me more stability on the FSB clocking)

i need to change my PSU aswell and i have the choice of a InWin Commander III Desert Fox 800w or another modular PSU to ease cable management.

moving data(movies music pics) to a storage HDD(Caviar green 500gb 5400rpm) then cloning my win instalation on my OCZ vertex 3 120gb keeping my barracuda 7200.12 1.5tb for game instalation that will not fit in the SSD or less used games

i also ordered a tube of Arctic Cooling MX4 to refresh TIM on GPU and CPU (god with the summer heat atm the Spire Bluefrost turn into Spire BlueWorst indeed, and the meteo announce 37-39c this week end, where i live...)

maybe selling my mITX build and rebuild a ATX in my Nemesis or in my Element S with the ASRock 970 and the PhenomII X2 511 i have for a data server...

little trick used to break the 2 HDD 3.5 of the HAF-XB i used a 5.25>3.5 rack that came with my Element S

minor rework but lots of them

GreiverBlade · Jul 26, 2013

for the PSU any idea? has to be full modular or partial modular 650w minimum

my retailer propose me the one i posted previously in 700w or 800w (the 800 is 10chf more so why not, also not mentioning that a 800w 80+ gold at 129chf is tempting) still i would like some opinion on modular PSU and what you recommend

also my system run fine with the GX lite 600w i have but it give near no room for a bit of higher OC than what i do, and the cable management is fugly :roll:

ofc i could do custom wiring and sleeve that GX Lite but ...

Knight091 · Jul 27, 2013

Almost done with the computer. I made the motherboard back plate and have small things left. I am going to put corner covers on all the corners and places were panels come together.

this part is done using AOMEI free partition manager (after a few research and fiddling its the best one i found, nice and easy ) http://www.disk-partition.com/download-home.html

100% freeware and allows private and commercial use, good point too bad it doesnt have the weigth of Acronis still it did a pretty job (i was also using AOMEI Backupper another freeware from them, for my local backup.

@Knight091 - Great looking rig, exactly how I would like mine to look!!

GreiverBlade · Jul 27, 2013

further dilemma

i will get a Thermalright HR 02 Macho Rev. A and a Thermalright IFX-14, i got it real cheap since its a oldie but goodie wondering about getting a 2nd Thermalright 140mm BW fan and use the IFX-14 since its the ancestor of the Silver Arrow

oh well i will test both and see if not much difference between them, wich one looks more badass :rockout:
