o_O another new project

[mcmad]

Missed the mach II, so another build coming up..

Prommie II for cpu

water cooling GFX card & Hard drives (Maze 4, silentstar HD block) using the new PA160 rad.

LL 6077 case

Custom front being made that will be stuck over the LL.

Big challenge is going to be fitting it all in !

so first up is cutting the LL

 

[mcmad]

as you can see. the PA160 is quite a beast

Im left with 4 drives slots..

1. DVD reader

2. DVD Writer

3. Fan controller (good ol Fanomatic)

4. HD block (silentstar)

no room for a res & pump is gonna have to be a C-systems mag, Ill run an external 1250 until that arrives..

more to follow..

Crumbs that rad is big!

Is it a standard Mach2, or is it regassed?

The LL6077 looks like a nice case, slightly easier to work with in terms of space for cooling than a PC60.

Looking forward to the updates.

Interested to see how this turns out

 

[mcmad]

right,

well its up & running

Hard drive block is at the top with 2 drives, covered in foam. As mentioned earlier, 1250 running outside until I get the mag pump, it will fit no probs.

Now to measure up & send details off for the front Im getting made..

Gonna have to run it like this for a good few weeks though

so the PA160 will fit in a normal case after all, but by christ it takes some planning & a bloomin small pump ! Quite pleased I managed to get it in & still have 4 usable drive bays though.... I could actually squeeze the fanomatic down another one as it only goes in about an inch or so , so it would just miss the angled part of the shroud. That would give 5 bays.. not bad considering the rad is bloomin big.

have to say, that rad aint bad at all, only one fan on it & its keeping my 6800 ultra at 37 degress idle, 41 full load with a maze 4 Acetal block (& I have a double hard drive block in the loop as well).

 

[Phil Stanbridge]

Thats not too shabby mate, comparison for you:

My 3500 and Ultra were running under single HE120.1, two NMB fans @ 64cfm @ 12v, my gpu was 34 idle and about 40 under load.
