[Project Log] Xilence Interceptor Pro "Spider Spirit"

Arrival this morning:

 

For the moment, I have at home

​

I'm waiting for items that are currently in France with a friend. He prepares a large package with everything I miss and awaits my two Swiftech Komodo HD7970 + waterblock bridge, and my two graphics cards HIS IceQ X ²-GHz Edition. I am obliged to do so to procure hardware as few websites selling ship to Reunion, so I spend my orders on sites that interest me, I send the equipment his home and after he sends back me all.

Already in the package:
- Phobya 480 G-Changer
- 2x Phobya Radiator Stand - Black - Triple 3x120mm
- Tygon R3603 13/19
- Koolance Top Laing D5 (PMP-450-S)
- Phobya Front Faceplate - 2 Displays - Black
- Temperature Sensor Outer Thread G1/4 with Display - Blue
- Temperature Sensor Outer Thread G1/4 with Display - Red
- Phobya Power Supply Modding Tool Kit
- 2x Alphacool Cape Fuzion Core 10

Waiting for:
- 2x HIS HD7970 IceQ-X² GHz Edition
- 2x Swiftech Komodo HD7970
- Komodo bridge CF

Normally, he receives the rest in 15/20 days and I will have the package in about 1 month.

Waiting for my package (which will be sent within a week), I made myself a gift today:
I booked 2 SSD OCZ Vector 256Go I'll get in a few days



They'll replace my SSD Intel 520Series 180Go that will retire in the computer of my brother.

 

Shipping in progress
5 boites d'embouts Monsoon 13/19 noir mat


6 embouts rotatifs 45° 13/19 noir mat


Capuchons pour embouts rotatifs (bleus et rouges)



Récupération vendredi prochain (10/05) des 2 SSD OCZ Vector 256Go

 

Pending receipt of the rest of the hardware, I prepared the config that will replace the current during work on the project. I call it "temporary config".

So this afternoon, doing a little tour of the stuff in stock and not used for the project, I was able to:





- Zalman Z9 + PSU Corsair CX-600

- MB ASUS P8Z68-V

- CPU Intel i5-2500k

- GPU Gainward GTX580 "Phantom" 3Go

- WB cpu EK Supreme-HF

- WB gpu EK FC-5X0-GW with backplate

- 2 rads 120mm

- fans 120mm

- fittings: EK en 13/19

- Hose: 13/19

- XSPC "X2O 750 dual bay reservoir pump"

- EK-Koolant UV-Blue






















no leaks detected after a few hours.
It only remains to connect the circuit to the config and start the interim config.

There are only 2X120mm rads because I can not put more in this case.

 

That's only one loop? Too much tubing. You could have probably done the loop with about a third of what you used.

 

looks messy.

 

I know it but I did it quickly, and it's just for a short use. It will thereafter disassembled.


Still waiting for the shipment of 4 packages with the heavy equipment watercooling expected late August, early September.
So in the meantime, I bought:
- 3 SSD 256GB OCZ Vector (to go with the one I have already)
- 2 HIS HD7970 IceQ-X ² (to go with the 2 GHz Ed arriving soon)
- 1 Asus Titan (for another project)

And this morning a package arrived ...



I can start sleeving pending further material and to introduce you to the work nicely, I expect the next few days the arrival of

 

Sleeve used: UV blue, UV red and black from VedayShop:





Reminder of the desired sheaths disposition:




Let's go......


The target:







A few useful tools...:





And "Au boulot":









This time, I use my kitchen torch as the heat gun would be a bit too much noise at this time and could disturb the household.



Résult:







test with UV:



Done for the first sleeve, my first sleeve

but I realize it's a bit hard to get a good alignment, not to damage the heat shrink ..... so ....

With heat shrink:



Without:



It will be without. At least I tried with but the result is not good at all.

24 pins cable done:



UV test:







There are some small flaws, but it will going to get better.

 

First part finished :

non-modular cables



And now we must put it all in the small aperture size, not intended for sheathed cables ...
So after a few serflex used to gather groups of cables, I push hard and finally power case is closed.



The "cover" still retains a slight deformation due to the space taken by all. But at least it will not move.

 

mascots project:








and 2x 8 pins (modular) done:

 

NZXT Sentry LXE




Bitfénix Recon + NZXT Sentry LXE

 

More sleeving....

















******************************************************














6 Bitfénix Spectre Pro Led







Test with Bitfénix Recon

 

I broke three of them phobya tool kits when sleeving my psu!

 

I twisted the ATX pin remover. Now I only use the single pointed, but carefully.

Mr ZAM and the "Team BABOUK"





Thanks to k.limes



-"I'm your father"
-"NOOOOOOOO!!!!"

 

I put together a few components to see nearly the volume it takes.
Missing from photo:

- 4 hraphic cards
- additional reservoirs
- fittings
- additional PSU
- some fans

 

Waiting for packages, some hardware...

 

man youre so lucky to play with this hardware! next year ill do a mod again, wish I was sponsored tho.

I cant wait to see this finished!

 

It's very hard without sponsoring. For this mod, I just have (since today) Bitfénix sponsoring me with fans Spectre Pro PWM (the only component missing). It's my first mod, so it was difficult to have sponsors at the beginning. I hope I'll have more for my next mod (start expected by the end of this mod + 1-2 months)
