Storm G5 SimpLi rig completed!! Finally, comments?!
Well guys its been a long time coming, finally got my loop setup!
The specs:
LRWB Storm G5
AquaXtreme MP-1
Thermochill PA160
AquaXtreme 50Z.
Hardware Spec:
Opty 146
DFI Ultra-D
Sapphire X850XT @ PE clocks.
2*512mb Twinmos CH-5 UTT
Seagate 120GB
Creative X-Fi MusicXtreme
Here is a picture of the bare case, a beautiful Lian-Li PC-61. Notice the front space for the radiator (done as to Marci's guide!) and the small hole on the 5 1/4 bay to allow neater cable wiring.
Next up, the case with basic hardware installed, so I could try tube routing and lengths ready for cutting.
Here is the loop assembled and then fitted, it has already been leak tested outside of rig at this point.
Wires! Gotta have em, but i'd rather not! Here you see my cunning routing of cables coming into play.
Shroud attached, memory installed, X-Fi installed. Ready to roll!
Well I hope you all like it! I know I put the MP-1 before the G5 in the loop, which im still not sure about, but attempting to route it any other way either created kinks or lots of extra distance, so I settled for this being acceptable. Now as a rough guide to you, I found that GPU: Idle, 28. Load, 33. CPU: Idle, 31. Load 35. However thats just a rough read out from MBM and ATItool, in no way accurate.
Thanks for reading, feel free to post any suggestions or comments!
