my ghetto watercooling.

[shambles1980]

Dont think it looks ALL that bad.
but if i had that case and the money to spend on the parts. i dont think it would have looked like that either.

still i dont see any jubilee clips, cable ties or pipe reducers any where.. so im not calling it ghetto lol

If memory serves me right, he got quite abusive and didn't take kindly to criticism at all well.

He only replied once iirc and it was something along the lines of "u jel?".
Yea, i'm jel.

Dude that rig is terrifying in every way. Yours gets close, but you are aware of how ghetto it looks, so it's not quite the same.

The thing was that he thought that his rig was perfect! And I think it was just before you registered, Rambo.

He admitted it was a mess, but he said he still liked it. That's all

I think I'm getting post mixed up now, it was a while ago and I could have sworn he posted more than just once.

wow i'm not sure this is something to be proud of, let alone actually safe to operate...

 

[SparkleDJackson]

Holy... This is worse than the waterpark build from a few months ago...

are you insane. nothing is worse than the waterpark. also thank you for reviving the waterpark build in my mind.

He is back boys. Never forget.

That to me reminds me of a slushie machine, just all those colours and pipes going everywhere....

if your refering to mine. its definatly not to be proud of lol. but it is 100% water tight.
if i get a bigger case it will get changed lol.

I have also moved the pipes about and cable tied them up a bit since the pics so none of the jubilees are hovering over the 7850 threatening to kill it any more.
if i do get a bigger case il get rid of the td03 rad and try to get a 240 or something so i wont need the reductors and it will all be one set of tubing so wont be ghetto any more.
but the only way i could have enough radiator space for the temps i wanted was with that monstrosity.

 

[BigDaddyKong]

OP. What are your temps running? Does it do the job?

This forum is one of the best water cooling forums on the net for clean exceptional builds. You well get a lot of help and great advice here on how to clean it up and make it a nice system.

I am a total n00b when it comes to water cooling. in fact i know more about dry ice / l2n cooling

I don't even know what parts are needed (tubes? reservior? pump? radiator?)

Someone point me in a direction where i can read up on water cooling because im really behind when it comes to that

That dude makes pretty amazing builds and pretty much shows every step of every build. If you have some time on your hands you can learn a lot from him.

i can run ibt max stress for aslong as i like and it gets to 65c on the hottest core so thats fine.

when i 1st set it up idles were like 22c.
but after i ran ibt for an hour or so idles are more like 30c now (water temperature is higher)
its not something that bothers me much as its really the load temps i care about.
with the xigmatec aiger with 2x 120's on it in push pull i was getting to 85c easy after the 3rd test "well during the 3rd test"
im runnning at 1.35v at 4.6..
i can get 4.8 out of it with the same volts but my benches get slower and it will throttle down "i think due to the pwm" but i keep that at 36c max so not sure about it.
i can get 4.5 at lower volts but again 1.35 gives me better bench results at the same clock rates (physics)

my fans only ramp up when a core hits 65c (speed fan) so its all good really nothing's really going to get it to 65c if ibt can only manage that.

basically what happend is..
i didnt like my air cooler so i bought a AIO.
i thought it neede more rad space. and i had a rad in the attic any way. so i said F'it Bought the res and did that.
then i thought id like to clean the block out some time. But the Td03's block is brazed together so you can take the pump out but your not really going to clean the block. so i decided i needed a block i could clean.
and that also meant i needed a pump,

It wouldnt look near as bad if i hadnt snaped one of my 6mm>10mm connectors.
and if i had a case that could have taken a 240 to start it then none of this would have needed to happen (but honetly i would have found a reason to add the extra 120 in there any way if i could fin a inch to shove it in)

If i get a bigger case il just buy a 240 or 360 pit the tdo3 back together with a small res and slap it in one of my core 2 duos
and no one will ever know lol.
