My Project Log:

[Cold Storm]

get a 3" hole saw than you will have it to make 80mm fan cutouts in the future

I got one for 120mm fans.. should I try that, or make it 80mm? lol

 

[Cold Storm]

Got in the three San Ace fans from Binge today. MK, no matter what I've read, seen, it doesn't make up for how these fans are! Your right.

It's not as loud as I thought it would be for 12v. PUSHES TON of air.

 

[MKmods]

yep, not only does it push air it "FORCES" air unlike other fans, so if there is any restriction this fan is more likely to move air than others.

The other big deal is power draw, there are practically no fan controllers that can accommodate the draw of each fan.

Yeah, I hear that... I'll just throw it to 7v to see how they do there.. It doesn't sound bad really.. well just one.. Doesn't sound as bad as the deltas!

 

[Cold Storm]

I got in today two things.. well Packages.

Koolance Pump top/res

More sleeving for the new fans.


So, this weekend, if not cutting that "exhaust" whole, I'll be rewiring and playing with fans.


But for some tease shots.

I really, really like this Koolance top/res. Bitspower is a sweet company, but I think Koolance really made a stride to get back into the game on top notch stuff.


& no... Not using the Frozen Q on this mod... I'll be doing it on my next adventure.



More Pictures:

On rad:

There is more to do. Once I get the case built again, I'll be playing around with it a bit. See what I need to do for the combo.

 

[Chicken Patty]

that pump is just beautiful

 

[Random Murderer]

that's a nice kit for the pump, especially when mounted on the rad like that.
i like that it has the in and out labeled, no more guessing!

 

[Cold Storm]

Guessing is half the fun! lol..

Nah, it should be good. Worse part is waiting on the block to come so I can play around with it.. lol

yea, a water loop is pretty useless without a block, lol.

 

[Cold Storm]

Well, fourth fan came in, right when I was going over to RM's Birthday Party!!

So, it looks like tomorrow, I'll play around with sleeving, and setting it up via 5v or 7v fans..


Woot, some fun! Just gotta pull myself off of God Of War 3...

 

[mlee49]

Wow that pump/rad combo is awesome! I cant wait for it to all come together.

 

[sNiPeRbOb]

+1 on how nice that pump/top/res combo came out! Nice little powerhouse you have there.

 

[Cold Storm]

Well, I don't have the time to fart around with the MM case yet.. Got a few things in the pipe works but nothing solid yet to get it going.

But, that doesn't mean I can't test the Koolance stuff I got? Now does it?

But, one problem... The pump/res, if on the rad, will be blocking air.. So, I go for my old trusty UN design bracket. But, that doesn't help me, due to how it's designed and the pump top bracket.. SO... Dremel time!

worst part.. I only had one cutting wheel.. so it doesn't look to even.. lol

Looks pretty good.. IMO


Now, how am I going to run it?

and with this baby?

Well my trusty 120mm Danger Den rad.

I'll hook it up in the Raven2 case.. Once I leak test it.

 

[Chicken Patty]

That pump setup just caused me to jizz in my pants

 

[Cold Storm]

lets just hope that it works like it's suppose to..

Put it together in a few hours..

Think positive dude, of course it will

 

[Cold Storm]

yes it will!

Air:

My load temps where getting close to 95c after 8h prime



Water:

and for how it looks..

Ghetto, but it works...

I'll put it on load tomorrow night.. Right now, I gotta clean up, get ready for a 16h day tomorrow, and get ready for my parents coming in Tuesday.

 

[Binge]

badass! That looks so ghetto it's hawt I love it all!

 

[Cold Storm]

badass! That looks so ghetto it's hawt I love it all!

Thanks man... I tried doing it all inside.. The fan>rad>fan>pump was touching my ram... So that wasn't going to work.. lol.

Its just to test out the block. I'm hoping to have the MM case going again by the end of next weekend.. See how a quad rad would work with that koolance block!!


I might not be black, but I know how to do it

Ghetto Style*...



*I have lived in the ghetto for 3y of my life. I do, in no way, hate any type of person.



Now. to bed..

 

[mlee49]

Dude those fittings make it! Really nice touch.

 

[Chicken Patty]

those BP fittings are sooo hawt! Ghetto but working out great dude

 

[MKmods]

Like we talked about before I like the thought of the res being flush mounted with the top (easy as hell to fill)

To me the more hose /stuff you can hide in the top the better (keep it away from the GPUs..

Unlike everyone else I am not a fan of all the fittings, less is more.

Thanks for the words. Yeah, in the MM case it's going to be totally different. I'm going to see what I can do with the pump/res for it to be on top of the case. I just gotta see about getting a different top for the MM case.. If you know a site where I can just got an alu top that I can paint that would be even better.. Problem with the MM case is that everything is crammed together at top.. I don't have the leway to try and put the pump on top.. Well, I can, but that requires me to run a hose to the top and I am not going to do something that goddy..

As for the fittings.. I am most likely going for compression fittings with the finish build.. I do love the different styles and the way they bend.. But, I know I can mod the MM case to have it all together without anything special..


Now... how can I mod the side panel of the MM case to "hinge" open? I think I could do that, quick connects, and boom pump/res there? lol.. I should of really thought about the case before going off and buying that...

 

[MKmods]

I can always make you new panels....(I can make you some quickies that you can experiment with if needed or nice ass finished ones)

I really like the drop in temps so far



(sorry to be a dick about the fittings, I know they wernt cheap. I dont like the compression ones either)

Shot ya a PM. We'll talk about panels within it all...

Yeah, I'm quite suprised that a single rad dropped it that much.. Best part.. We'll see how it does after I hook up a AMD rig to it... Buying a AMD board and chip to hold me while the MSI board is being rma'ed...


Hey, it's all good man on the fittings. I remember well about our talk on fittings. We'll talk later on that.
