project dig bick is a' go!

10c drop didn't see that one coming

actually had to remove the front shroud because it was about 5mm too long and hit the graphics card IT ALMOST FIT

For me the gain in temps are not Worth it, but is a nice experiment.

yeah, i honestly dont plan on keeping it this way it was just a fun little experiment without a fan controller these san aces are wayyy loud

 

[LiveOrDie]

Just d.i. water but i'll have some leds in the top and bottom of the res and a White led fan in the rear, also the motherboard has some Green led backlighting.

Should go Ice Dragon good stuff lowered my Temps by around 7c on load and its white coolant will go nice with your system.

 

[Arrakis9]

so i just put the lian li fans back on with two 35mm fan shrouds and ALL the noise is gone from the front of the case now even with my ear on it i cant hear anything (other than a low pitched woooosh of air). another nice benefit is i got about 4c more cooling performance out of the lian li's on this radiator. i can truly say now the only thing i can hear from my system is coil whine when i move the mouse around

Is the radiator on the front an intake?
Wouldn't blowing the warm air into your case make it warmer than it could be?

It's too easy to use all White i feel.

Getting the balance right with Black, White, Green is the challenge i think.

I've got a bottle of mayhems White liquid here from my last build i did but i think clear liquid with just touches of light will look more classy, i'm not trying to just go White mental... we will see!.

Plus it's a pain when you have to drain the loop and need to flush all the colour out.

Love it, expect my "for a moment" CPU cooler.

surprisingly its not as much as you would think, it may be different in a steel type case but i've only noticed about a 1c difference in temps vs mounting it in the front + the benefits of having fresh cool air for the cpu

here's a 3 hour gaming session in Team Fortress 2 for reference

laugh of the day ... i ordered some stuff, IE: a G1/4 plug year of the horse edition (too bad this year is goat ...) for my res since i lost one ... and received a anime figurine ... my setup taking most of the desktop place i had to figure out where to put it ... lucky for me the position depicted by the model fits perfectly ... you will see ... )

the plug


the figurine


the idea ...

Very nice rig, reminds me a design I made in the past but w/o cooling the GFX, nice done!

Wow man, that figure nails it at the window ... but it would be even cooler behind the water deposit, specially if it's transparent and you can illuminate, the effect will be even more dramatic!

well the problem is simple, i have 2 res but both are behind the motherboard tray so no go for that well the figurine has just above her a LED strip in bright white (the model is "Takoko in commuter train" from Tainiidou Tiny kid's creation vol.6) i prefer the "my computer is so crowded that she ended squished on the sidepanel plexi" effect xD (even if my computer's inside looks very spacious ...)

I want one, do you know where I could buy one online?
On second thoughts, after seeing some prices on eBay I don't, they're not cheap.

 

[R-T-B]

You guys are making me think about throwing my non-modular PSU on my firesale thread, and fixing my cable mess... money doesn't grow on trees, damn you!

But... so pretty...

 

[GreiverBlade]

oh well the clicking on my JetFlo worsen ... so then 2 new SP120L instead ... (the other JF has no problems but my etailer was out of stock ... and had no intention to order them again ... )


already posted it in nostalgic hardware but doesn't hurt to put that one here too

that cable mess make me want to buy a 2nd M12II ...

and quality cheap fully modular PSU grow on trees ... ok a platinum ... and you complain about money ... pffff, oh wait .... 129$~ regular price hummmm ...
me i have a:

cheap reliable and more on a silver level than a bronze
all flat cable and 6 Pci-E 6+2 connector (on a 750W it's nice to see ... albeit a bit useless ) and they put the 4pin floppy on a separate connector (i use only 4 connector ATX24/EPS12/1x[4*SATA]/1x[2*6+2pin)

even if we don't see the cable on my build (thanks AIR540)

yeah ... on the excuses of import ... they kinda tend to overcharge but the only one i see on Ebay is not so pricey
http://www.ebay.ch/itm/Takoko-Jam-P...044?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eca47ca1c
i got mine from Ricardo.ch (a kind of Ebay but Swiss) for a a bit less than the half of that one (the direct buy price was not far from it actually but the one i got was on a auction instead of a direct buy)

i see only a**holes on Ebay and Ricardo recently ... well ... might give in AliExpress and buy what they buy for cheap and try to resell 10% cheaper than what they ask and still get a 95% margin on the initial investment ...
example i got this bamboo case for my LG G2 i paid 3.99$ (actual price is 7.99$ action and 8.88$ normal) on Ebay i saw seller ranging from 16$ to 24$

same goes for manga figure on AliExpress most of them might be counterfeit but some of them have a good quality (IE: Shingeki No Kiyojin Mikasa Ackerman figure, Ali: 15-20$ Ricardo: 120-240$ ... yep ... a bunch of a**hole )

yep ... the mangaka from Upotte! got the right opinion of the Swiss ...

ohohoh i noticed that Upotte! have a official Victorinox pocket knife serie ... ahah

It's a cannibalized bitcoin mining PSU. Energy efficiency is everything there and I just stole it from my setup when it became unprofitable. Also bitcoin miners only stress the 12V rails so you can get by with pretty much any PSU that stays within 10-14V. That said, the FORTRESS series from Rosewill are actually real troopers for the money and the voltage regulation is solid. Only real issue with them is a weak hold-down cap, but those with steady electric like me really don't care.

I'm probably going to pick up a cheap(er) gold rated modular (Seasonic?) to replace it. Lotsa good options there.

i checked the gold one ... but nah ... not profitable over a Bronze (c'mon ... you don't see any difference even 5years after ... and your electric bill will not make a damn difference ... unless you're BTC mining )
as i paid 109chf for my M12II and a good full modu gold or silver would cost me 50% more ...

That said, the FORTRESS series from Rosewill are actually real troopers for the money

yep Rosewill have real good PSU i reckon (altho they should name it INFANTRY instead of FORTRESS if they are real trooper sorry ... couldn't resist)

for me (i might be wrong) but anything above a bronze, is just a commercial argument, for a "normal" use. (just like the wattage recommended ... i am glad to see you have also a 750w like i do, even if in my case it's a bit overkill ahah )

oohhh i spotted a Corsair AX860i for 50$~ brand new in box (unopened) from a RMA return ... well Corsair and RMA in the same line ... i know the RM line is fine and the new AX line is good too ... but i tend to hate Corsair PSU ... (overpriced most of the time ... )

and to keep the PC ATM live i shall post a pics .... hu... ok that one ...

waiting on a NZXT Sentry LXE (29chf free shipping instead of 89chf ) damn i hate slow shipping i guess i am too much used to overnight delivery ...

 

[R-T-B]

I just go gold or better mainly to reduce heat output. Less wasted watts = less heat and more life.

That said, Silver or Bronze is probably fine yeah. Maybe I will go that way.

EDIT: Speaking of Corsair, I just have been informed my brother will let go of a HXi 750W for 50 bucks. It's missing a cable or two, but really, how can I say no? Looks like platinum again, lol... but at least it's an awesome price!

 

[Toothless]

Fixed up my cables and prepped for more drives. Adding a SSD that was ordered, on orders from a friend as a gift, and another HDD. I'm kinda sad that I'll be using all 6 sata ports but eh. I want to keep the dream that one day I'll have SLI alive, and I can't do that if I have PCI SATA cards in there.

More pics folks and less chatter
