very nice rig dude but i can't see the specs

 

[drunkenvalley]

I can't seem to edit my opening post, durp. It'd be nice if a mod can sneak it in...

That being there will be good enough i think for the mods

Looking good BTW get any good temps or OC's off it?

 

[drunkenvalley]

I haven't gotten around to actually overclocking it. Temperatures are around 27C for CPU and 33C for GPU at idle.

I know I checked what load was too, but damned if I can recall now. -.- My head's a little spinning after building my brother's waterloop in his Cosmos II lol.

 

[wassupdoc]

wow, nice rig dude. i really like the new circles design on the waterblocks. and those copper fittings.... :drool:

 

[Gilbert93]

nice stuff love the dominator ram that stuff is shexshi , you should deffo get some pics up of your bro's cosmos

 

[WillSK]

that's awesome dude. would love to do something like this with my 600T some day. Did you have to do any case modding or did you fit all this in stock?

 

[yassarikhan786]

Love the blue/black combo and the overall neatness of the rig, a job well done

 

[drunkenvalley]

Thanks for all the comments, y'all. :3

that's awesome dude. would love to do something like this with my 600T some day. Did you have to do any case modding or did you fit all this in stock?

It's got three 120mm fans in the roof and two 120mm fans in the front, so no, this doesn't fit using a stock case.

Well, technically it fits; the 120mm fans in the front only require that get creative with mounting, as there are no screw holes for them, but they fit snugly underneath the 5.25" bay. A radiator there however requires cutting out the bottom of the 5.25" bay; I cut the entire bottom slot entirely admittedly. :lol:

For easier assembly, I chose to cut out a lot in the front and install a radiator grill instead, hence the odd look of the grill rather than its stock hex mesh.

The roof has had the space for the third 120mm cut out. Originally the roof grill wouldn't fit on afterwards, so I cut a bunch of plastic on the underside of it so it'd fit on top anyway.

 

[drunkenvalley]

So I had the opportunity to snap a few more pics. Alas, I still can't edit the opening post, lol.

I really like what you did with those front fans and the grille. I know the stock gille at least for the 650d creates a lot of noise and the 200mm fan is already noisy on it's own. I replaced the top fans on my 650d with noctua fans and i usually keep the front fan on 40% or so or even completely off to keep the noise down. I like the look of the grille you used at the front and i really like those copper screws for the fans. I was looking at the size of the holes in the mesh and I thought you might be able to mount 120mm fans there, I see that you did do that in the other set of pictures on imgur.

 

[drunkenvalley]

Thank you for the kind words.

Yeah, originally I did some crude hackjob to make the screw-holes for the upper half of the top fan, but the other two screws went through the mesh excellently. Bottom fan was just attached to the rad.

The spacing and sizes in the mesh is right for you to mount two 120mm fans, provided you add the four screw holes on the top of the top fan and bottom of the bottom fan. It gets a little tight though, which may or may not just be a good thing.

 

[andrevautour]

Yeah, I thought about maybe fitting a single 120mm in the front or something like that, but since I have all the fans on a Lamptron FC6 fan controller now I can turn all the fans completely off or set any speed so I just keep the front fan either off or at a very low speed and it doesn't make much noise at all, so Ill probably just keep my 200mm at the front. but I do have one more Noctua NFp12 fan left so of course now I'm temped to try it and see how it fits and looks etc.

I was reading reviews for the 650d on newegg or amazon and another with the built in fan controller breaking on a lot of cases the other thing people were saying is that the fans that come with it are pretty crappy. One guy even said that the 120mm fan that comes in the back of the case actually broke and leaked oil onto his graphics card! Not sure about the quality of the 200mm fans though.

Just curious where you got those nice copper screws?

 

[CPMFW]

nice and tidy rig you got there
i really like it

 

[drunkenvalley]

Thanks for kind words.

They come with every Alphacool radiator from the "Full Copper" series, far as I know.
