M40's Rigs

[thestepster]

spend a lot of money when ur build ur rigs

 

[M40TURBO]

Well when you can afford to spend some money on it, then of course. We will se how it turns out in the end

What fans are you using there? Are they all controlled by two fan controllers?

 

[M40TURBO]

No only one. 3-4 are on the controller and the rest are on the mobo. If you mean the older computer.. The new one i'm using two aquacomputer controllers.

XIGMATEK XLF-F1253 120mm fans.

Here is the latest cable i sleeved. And a pic of what i have done so far. 2x sata cables, 1 pci-e, 24-pin ATX cable.

I have the sata power cable left. Don't have enough white sleeving for that. So might go red\carbon or just carbon

Nice rigs keep up the good work

 

[vesley]

nice looking rig in the first post. a little bit crowded though x D and yeah keep up the good work : D

 

[M40TURBO]

Thank you thank you. It's a small case, so it'll get a bit crowded

 

[AquaMuscle]

If you're still searching for a new case, I can highly recommend MM Pinnacle 24. I got one myself and just love it Great job on the sleeving too but I can give you a tip, use electrical tape on each wire with the same color as the sleeving. That way you wont see the color of the wire through the sleeving and you'll end up with a much cleaner look...

 

[M40TURBO]

Thanks for the tip. But think i'll get some sleeving from mdpc. Mutch better quality. But they are just slightly bigger.

I hope i get me a new Lian Li PC-B70B in a month's time. We will se

 

[AquaMuscle]

The sleeving from MDPC has great quality as you said. It's also from there I learned to use electrical tape

 

[M40TURBO]

But won't the wires get to stiff then? If you bend it a lot?? Will get me lots of white, red, black sleeving. Maybe something else. But i also have alot of sleeving left over still. 50ft orange. some red white carbon. And a few feet inn 3/8, 1/2.

 

[AquaMuscle]

The wires will get stiff but you can bend them however you like and they will stay that way. It's ALOT more work if you deside to use electrical tape though, but well worth it IMO

 

[M40TURBO]

How much should i tighten the screws on the mosfet blocks?? The one at the top starts to bend the mobo real easy. If you look to the one on the left you see how much i tighten it. Can do it with the fingers if i want.

 

[AquaMuscle]

Don't overtighten it bro. If the mobo's bending there's something wrong. Make sure there's nothing in between the contact surface of the block and the mosfets. Also make sure you got the right thickness thermalpads. Tighten each screw a little at a time....

 

[M40TURBO]

I use the same pad that's there. An it will bend when you press to much down. There's a screw at each end. I'll take a better pic to show you guys..

 

[M40TURBO]

Well here they are. The block is tightened so little so it's almost lose. I can jiggle it a bit. So its not tight at all.

But the mobo straightens when you mount it with the 3 screws. But there must have been some pressure there. See it on the pad.

Where it's broken, has a hole. Thats where the top screw to mount the block together is. Thats why it's like that i think. But take a look

It's the same with the other block

 

[M40TURBO]

Here is something i thought might be fun to put together:crazy: Just to have something to do inn the cold winter time.

Just cut a little here and there..:ar:

 

[Swetox]

Nice work, i hope i can oford a pc like that one day, to bad i still studdy :/

 

[M40TURBO]

I just had to try my hd 5970, so i took of all wc blocks and put on stock cooling. I put inn all the sleeved cabling and one fan controller.

Had to cut out a piece to make the card fit. To long, imagine that So have a look
