DavidT's New Water Cooled Setup

[DavidT]

All done

Sweet miror finish on the CPU block:

CPU block installed:

Rad installed:

Pump installed:

Res installed:

Cut out one of the Expansion slot brackets to fit the 1/2" tubing and lined it with electrical tape... don't wanna cut the tubing:

Loop installed:

Filled it with water, unfourtunately there was a leak at the back of the rad. Turns out one of the Barbs was damaged:

Went out and bought new Brass barbs, installed and sealed. No more leaks:

Here's the finished setup:

And a shot of the light going through the Window. I sanded down the Window for a sweet glow effect, learnt that from Kempez I innitially posted that over at BFG's forums:

Very nice mate

 

[!TIMMY!]

I do like the glowing effect! I bit like the sun

 

[Nagaru]

That is awesome, the glow effect is very nice. It looks like there may be a bit of a kink forming by the output of the pump though.

 

[Toxcity]

Very nice!

I like the why you have mounted the red!

And the light that thing gives off is unbelievable!

 

[FarFarAway]

That's very nice looking mate, pretty sweet

 

[AydST]

I've said it before but I'll say it again

Neat and Tidy is the only way

well done mate, looks great

 

[jiffz]

Sweet looking setup there mate! In the 7th pic - I hope your not filling the loop up with mineral water

 

[Ham]

Looks good!

Looks like you got blood running in the tubes though

 

[Phunky]

That kit looks really simple to install, hows it for performance?

 

[DavidT]

Thanks for the comments guys

@Nagaru: Yeah, I noticed that too... I might have to cut a longer section of tubing and replace that. That's for another day though, I need a break

@Jiffz: Nope, that was mine to drink I got some De-Ionized water for the loop.

@Phunky: I've got my E6400 OC'd to 3.0Ghz right now, and it idles at the high 20's - low 30's.

I'm still waiting for my AS5 and Zerex to get here, I'm hoping those will lower my temps even more. Right now I'm using some Zalman thermal paste, and it does not do a good job.

Nice shine on the CPU block, and all that in an Armour Jr

 

[ridestreet]

Very nice!

 

[FarFarAway]

[FarFarAway]

[DavidT]

*Bump*

Got a question for you guys, what do you think my system here is worth?

Specs are all in my sig, plus I'd be including all this s well:

- LG 17" Flatron LCD Monitor (w/ 1600:1 contrast ratio)

- Saitek Eclipse II gaming keyboard

- Logitech G5 gaming mouse

- Xtrac Pro mouse pad

- Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 controller

- Microsoft Media Center remote

- Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

- Logitech Z-2300 2.1 200w Speakers

Think I could get about $1200 CAD?

Reason I'm selling is because I've fallen out of the gaming world recently and I've gotten more into photography and graphics (Link to my flickr album in my sig), so I'm looking into possibly getting a Macbook or an iMac.

What PSU was that in there?

One of those would go very nicley in my project...

 

[Allargando]

seems like this thread is relatively alive...

I gotta say, nice cable management.

It's also nice to see someone else using an Ultra psu (mine's just an x-finity instead of the x-connect)

the only place I've seen them is on tigerdirect
