korndog's WC setup REV 3!! (21 pic!)

Korndog · Feb 7, 2004

Okey, i went all out this time..
not only am i broke, i'm a week behind in physics homework..
anywho, here we go.
heres the pump upgrade..

can u say, restriction?

lets compare.. maxijet900 vs mag3

Korndog · Feb 7, 2004

heres a pic of that blower i'm using..

my blocks, nicly lapped

tops..

Korndog · Feb 7, 2004

hehe, the modifications..

the shrouding..

grade A quality cardboard!

Korndog · Feb 7, 2004

mosfet cooling!

gotta lap that too u know

gotta get pressure distributed evenly..

wannaoc · Feb 7, 2004

Why did you use the big brass piece on the pump? You can get a normal barb that will screw over the pump threads and cause less restriction. Just a thought though.

Nice looking rad setup so far btw.

Korndog · Feb 7, 2004

routing..

heh, gotta lap that too

ooo, channels

Korndog · Feb 7, 2004

no more restriction, woot

mmm.. chrome

those are 3/4 fittings, heh

btw, aquafresh is a nice vibration damper!!

Korndog · Feb 7, 2004

new coolant, i think a lot of people use this right?

no leaks!!

finally done, w00t!

The Big One · Feb 7, 2004

couldn't find a female 1/2" npt at orchard (argh). i changed it from a 3/8 to 1/2 for the output so its not so bad now. that pic was with the 3/8.
as u can see, i kinda copied bladerunners setup where he has a big inlet and small outlets on his waterblock. hopfully that helps with restriction. i know it would better if it was all 1/2, but i'm stuck with 3/8" with all my current components..

thanks btw, rad shrouding didn't cost me a cent (stole the cardboard from my friend)

hehe
okey okey
before i had 33c idle / 36 load @ about 23c ambient with my maxijet
now i have 32c idle / 36 load @ 25c ambient with the mag 3 and a extra vga waterblock. so 3c improvement on the idle and 2c on the load. i think most of it was due to how picky i was with the mounting. also keep in mind i reaplied ceramique so it hasn't set in yet. my HD temps are up though :-/

btw, my mag 3 is very very quiet now, it wasn't at first because of the damn air bubbles. now my system is very quiet without that damn vga fan too

//edit BTW, i got an extra 16mhz on my overclock!!! W00T!!
hehehe. that doesn't matter much though. my 5200fx got an extra 30mhz core increase and 20mhz on the memory overclock and is stable @ 1.6v now. all this added 1300points on my 3d2k1 score... eh atleast it looks cooler now

Jimbob7 · Feb 7, 2004

nice one, looks nice and tidy too

UberBlue · Feb 7, 2004

What the heck did you do to that Maxi-Jet to make it look like somebody spewed on it?

If I saw your system in person, I'd want to drink the coolant because it looks like Tang. Mmmmm... Tang.

Korndog · Feb 7, 2004

thats uv paint went wrong
hehe
yea, it looks tangy, but the fumes made me so sick, it kind of reminds of me of cough syrup

ninety6 · Feb 7, 2004

50/50 mix ratio is WAY TOO HIGH for a watercooled system. I would have added more distilled water to the mix.

96

Korndog · Feb 7, 2004

dont' have any, its actually not as thick as the green coolant that i used to use so i'm happy with this.

johan851 · Feb 7, 2004

Yeah, looks like a little coolant ratio overkill - I only use two cups per gallon of distilled of Dex-Cool in my setup. That comes to about 12.5%.

Other than that though, everything looks great! Congrats on good temps. Is that at stock or overclocked?

wannaoc · Feb 7, 2004

I just noticed the routing that goes from the cpu block to the chipset and the graphics card. Very good idea and just helped me figure out some problems with mine. Great idea.

redken · Feb 7, 2004

I'm still building my system, but it never occured to me that the routing could be done that way. Fore some reason I always thought of putting a "Y" after the CPU to go into the GPU then NB.
But i really liked the way you did it, that's why I have to ask two questions. Do you think it will work on 1/2" tubing? and Does it afect flow at all compared to the way I was thinking?
Very nice btw

pelikan · Feb 7, 2004

Hey Korndog- I noticed you have panaflo L1A's and that torin blower. How would you compare the noise from the blower to a panaflo L1A?
Oh yeah, and are they 80mm L1A's? And what voltage is the blower at?
Thanks.
