Eepy (Modifications) It's been about 2 and a half years since I built Eepy (see original project log if you are interested). I was meaning to service her last year but never had a free week to drain, flush and reassemble. But I've finally got round to doing it. Not only did I give all the...

The CPU block seems to be the place for air bubbles to collect. I've been rotating the case for a couple days now to try and shift them, but more just collect there. One day I might get the CPU clear of air :P I decided to run the GTs at 7v and all the others are at 5v. The loudest thing is...

Sorry about the delay in posting the final result! It's been a rather busy week! So after I fixed that slow leak, I let it run for another couple days and all now seems good. It's been over a week now and everything is still good. Putting in the cables was a pain, due to the complete lack of...

Thoughts anyone? Got a slow leak, which has shown its head after a day and half of bleeding/leak testing. It's the 90 adapter fitting from the exit of the second GPU. All that's leaked so far is the amount you can see in the photo, but as you can see the thread is full of blue liquid and it's...

I am surprised by how much humming is coming from the D5 pump... its on speed 3 atm. I think once the sides are on and the fans are running I won't be able to hear it. Also the coolant colour and cable braid is a good colour match :) Pictures of the front will follow tomorrow :P

So I did a dummy run yesterday to figure out what order everything had to go in. Then took her apart completely, gave the rads one final flush and double checked the seals. Took me a couple hours this morning but got her all together. Started filling and DOPE! The pump has recessed threads for...

I've started to hose her up and figure out the finer details in my loop. Firstly I've solved the problem of connecting the rads, the only problem is that it uses most of my 90 deg fittings so I've had to order some more. A -> B - will be connected via a short piece of hose to connect the two...

So a 3 week wait later and some more parts have arrived. One of which was some solid tubing and solid fittings (for the GPUs). I've been playing around with them tonight and I'm not totally happy with the connection they make. I might not be inserting the tubing far enough, but essentially...

So I finally got the pump in place... was a struggle. The pump fits and the pump bracket fits... however the gap at the 'side' of the PSU shroud (the side nearest the monsta rad at the front) has a little (3mm) lip on it. The bracket is literally millimeter perfect fit under the shroud. So to...

I just found a seller on ebay which does acrylic SLI bridges... and they even do custom designs.... tempted. Update on fan... I'm resigned to the fact that I wont be using these :( but I am getting the black version :)

Progress. I've put the hardware together to see what it looking like... :) I'm thinking I might just go with the white tops to the RAM... also going to get some white LEDs for the GPU blocks. I would get LEDs for the CPU block but I can't really think of a way of hiding the cables.

It was then time for some test fitting. First thing, the rads. Immediately a problem, the screws it came with are too thin and fall straight through the holes in the case... ebay to the rescue. Next issue, the monsta rad fits with push pull but the gap I have to install the rad through isn't...

Now that all the components are working it was then time to start messing around with the water side of things. I decided I wanted to see the coolant at the top of the GPU blocks, so bought the plexi terminals for both, and replaced the matte black with see through plexi. Also took the CPU...

Update time! I've been busy ordering parts and doing bits and pieces (I've updated the first post with the finalised list of parts). Once all the components arrived, I wanted to check they all worked now rather than when the loop is in. and the good news is they all do! Even the parts bought of...

Eepy Edit: jump to finished build post for final pictures This build is about 2 years in the making. My current interim rig has been going for 3 years now and well I’ve been meaning to replace it with something a bit special for a while. Unfortunately it’s taken a rather major life changing...
