That's right! Freeman's Box is finally going under water. This is a simple log where I can keep track of my progress in water cooling my cpu and eventually future cards/ board. All parts were purchased used from my friends here @ TPU and I would like to thank johnnyfive for the majority of the goods. My goal from this liquid build is too reach 3.8Ghz on my Phenom II X4 920:)


Now lets start with the hardware:

Koolance 2x140 Radiator

XSPC RX120 Radiator

BitsPower Compression fittings

Swiftech Apogee GTZ Block

EK DCP 4.0 Res/ MCP 4.0 Pump Combo

This is a basic idea of the radiator placement, The 2x140 Koolance will be mounted on top and the RX120 will be in a push/push config mounted in the middle front drive bays.

I will be using a tubing size of 7/16 ID, 5/8 OD and running distilled +PT Nuke. The color will be either Black, Orange, or both...I have not decided yet.:o However I have some extra clear tubing that I will be using for leak tests.

That's pretty tight, but just right. :D
 
Ghetto mod!!!!

oh right so I ran into a problem when I mounted the top rad, I couldn't screw down the back corner part of the top plastic bezel because the radiator is in the way of the screw holes.

I managed to find a plastic strap with an adhesive backing and stick it to the bezel.

I then drilled a hole so I could pull the strap tight and screw it down thus holding the top bezel down to the case. As long as I dont knock it around to much it should be fine.

I guess this could be in the ghetto mod section too.:roll:

where will you mount the fans?on top of the rad?

lookin good so far :rockout:
 
Subbed.

Top notch ghetto mod there.
 
nice :rockout:
 
So, do the fans fit under the top panel then?
 
very nice T77, I want to see it finished.-
 
sweet :)
 
The second radiator (RX120) will be mounted in the front 5.25" drive bays. I will be using two Noctua NF-P12's as the push\pull fan config. I was originally going to use one Noctua and a stock CM fan but decided to use the stock fan elsewhere. I am trying to improve the acoustics on this semi-new build. Also using the clear tubing just for exact length cuts for when I get the black/ orange tubing.

Yah, buddy!
Looks like there was some other jazz going on around the corner that you didn't take pics of.:)

Those are some spendy rad fans.
 
They are a bit more expensive than your run-of-the-mill variety, but they have a higher static pressure that makes them ideal for rads.
 
You're right. I was confusing them with the S12, which I have heard have poor rad performance.
 
Oh mi....sexy. Looking berry g00d home skallit!
