Umm.....are you sure there aren't any clearance issues with the WW and the mobo?

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

Hmm well lemmeshowyashomthin

Its a custom .080 offset bracket :P

[krag]

Nice job bro. That modded WW block should kick some serious backside! Let us know what your temps are when you get it running. I always thought the 2 returns on the WW was good thinking!

[Flip-Mode]

Nice, I think I need to get me one of those if I'm ever going to go C2D.

[TheSonOfX51]

Why is your liquid clear? is it just distilled water?

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

thats right
i like anything distilled

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

Here are the first results, with prime running. This is how far i got on stack vcore.

[natewildes]

stock vcore??? holy crap.

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

aye, thats what i said.

[dylskee]

Very nice results! :beer: Once you go H2O you never go back :drool:
Awesome 930 you got there, you need to put a Conroe under that block. :)

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

prolly wont go C2D untill after march

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

Well temps are 25c idle and the highest load temp ive seen soo far is 44c. Tomorrow we will see if i can get more MegAhurtz. shooting for 4.5

[downer]

It's great fun modding a less than functional case, into something custom. I'm liking the vinyl tubing, I must have a thing for vinyl. I don't see too many people with D-Tek equipment anymore.

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

I smell 4.5 :D
http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g61/novitus/holycrap.jpg

:O Running orthos at 4.5 now.
http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g61/novitus/wow.jpg

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

Ok, it has failed orthos within like 2 mins. Is there anyway to get it to pass will upping the vcore make a diffrence?

[ls7corvete]

You have an extra barb on your res, send two lines from the CPU outlet to the res, ie no Y needed.

yeah i thought about that, im gonna do it next week end,

[ls7corvete]

Good work, good to see someone still using WW and heatercores.

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

buying a Bix2 now the pro 120 is too small :D:beer:

[JustChill]

Nice work, Looks great. If I had that case I would use a rad from a U.S. Army sherman tank...wait (looks at pic up top) yea, yea it'll fit ......More vcore. def more vcore itle help ......PUMP IT UP BIATCHHHHHHHHH

[Rattle]

that case is sexy

[ctrl_alt_del_]

Where are you hiding my pump?? =)

The BIX2 is on it's way - looking good!!

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

the pump was directly under the res.Now i have moved it I really need to engineer more brackets to get this carp mounted...... I just gotta figure out where Im gonna put those two rads. :-/ :confused:
http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g61/novitus/IMG_0126.jpg

[ctrl_alt_del_]

get the dremel out!! Or hole saw if you like it better.

http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m30/ctrl_alt_del_/untitled.jpg

2 120's on top, 1 on the back. Mount the H/C with the barbs sideways not to interfere with the bix.

Was the case all black originally or did you paint it?

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

painted it with textured metal paint and a semi gloss.

Soo put the BIx out side on top of the case? and the 120 in side above the PSU? thats a pretty good idea. (dremel twitches in case)

[ctrl_alt_del_]

The bix on the outside is much easier than inside (even though I prefer inside due to having a small boy that gets his fingers on everything, including Delta fans going at 100000000 RPM). All you need is a couple of stand offs to raise the rad and 2 minor holes for the tubes to go in the case. Example (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=482096)

Then mount the H/C on the back on top of the PSU and you're set!!

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

now putting those rads in those locations, will that cause alot of stress on the D4? Or should it handle it pretty well?

[ctrl_alt_del_]

I believe that once the loop is setup and the water is flowing, the pressure on the pump is minimal - but I will let the "senior" members answer that one!

[wun911]

I really like your res its huge where did you get it from?

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

I really like your res its huge where did you get it from?

i dont really know where it came from. I bought it from Krag, perhaps you should ask him?

[krag]

I got it thru our classifieds from one of the members here. I don't know where he got it from.

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

LOL,there you have it.

[Moto7451]

Looks custom-ish. Someone who is good with Acrylic probably made it.

[ctrl_alt_del_]

Got the rad yet? Any progress?

[Immortal_Hero]

To your question about the pump's stress. It really doesn't matter where the pump sets in the loop once it is primed. Pressure will be the greatest right after the pump.

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

as i thought, I positioned the pump just below the res @ 1st so that it would kinda insta-prime as i filled the loop.

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

Well here it is with the second rad, Im still trying to find another barb for that res so that i can have two return lines, Also waiting on my fans that will be here tomorrow.

With this current setup im gettin

Tubes are looking a little foggy, I'd add some pure iodine and get some additive running in there.

anti freeze goin in tomorrow

[Rysjimmy1994]

Nice case ya got there! A BIP3 will fit, but its almost to big for it!

http://rjkipping.homeip.net/ocf/IMG_1448.JPG

[ctrl_alt_del_]

Nice job Clanger - I am glad to see my parts found a good home! Only thing I would do differently is to get some Clearflex or Masterkleer tubbing for the whole loop - oh and paint that heater core black!!!

Looking good anyways!

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

thanks, hey jimmy looks good nice case ;) what are your temps? Good idea taking off the font plate, how do you like the backplane cool lil tray on that case?

[ls7corvete]

Try without the pro120 if you are bored, you might have better temps with more water flow and less cooling surface.

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

really??

[wonderz]

I got it thru our classifieds from one of the members here. I don't know where he got it from.
If anyone is looking for one. FrozenCPU has one that's similar..
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/2182/ex-res-10/Typhoon_Dual_525_Bay_Reservoir_-_CLEAR.html?tl=g30c97s168

The clear one is currently OOS, but they also got other color like UV Blue and stuff. :beer:

NO, that is identical. I have the same one.

[wonderz]

Great, glad I can help. :)

[Rysjimmy1994]

I was getting about 35 under load on my 3200+ and about 38 on my X1800 under load. Big Improvement From before.

[Mv830]

Hey man setup looks great. it is much easier to see how water cooling will turn out when I decide to install it. You make it look easy man:)

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

Here it is almost done,
New added: 2 silverstone 110cfm fans w\controllers
I only have to reroute tubing and wires. to get the plexie glass sides on.

[Mv830]

Nice place to mount the fans. you did a good job mounting them :santa:

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

there is a BIXII rad directly under them.

[Mv830]

I am trying to figure out where I am going to mount my Thermachill 120.2 in my stacker 830. water cooling will be a tight fit:eek:

[JayoxD]

Can i ask what temps you got from air, because i would like to see how much a 120mm radiator can drop the temps as opposed to air :) but very nice man

how long till that window ac unit get transformed into a chillier =)

[(Clanger)(DOA)]

as soon as i figure out how, i did some reading on phase before i started this project. But i do plan to go phase after i go C2D. Im reasearching phase now projected c2d switch 6-9 months.
