My first water setup

Go3Team · Sep 5, 2005

I know it looks half a$$, but there just isn't enough room in the case for 2 Blackice Extreme III... I only have 1 3.4 Xeon in it right now, the other one is in the mail.

Twin 120x3 Radiators with cool light up fans:

Custom Reservior:

DangerDen TDX Xeon Waterblock:

Empty socket waiting on 2nd Xeon to come in:

Interior view of "Pump House":

Twin Ehiem 1250 pumps:

Looks beautiful. No such thing as half a$$. I'm a big fan of homemade components myself, check out the link in my sig.

I def want to see it when u get both dies running.

Thanks. I have the other block already pumping, I am just waiting on the other Xeon to come in. Great setup you have, I'll be putting another one together next week, hopefully I will be able to fit it all in the case since this next one will just be a single cpu.

nice setting!!!!!!

I love the fans! Are you planning on cooling anything else beside the CPUs? 2 BIX III's seems like a waste if you aren't. 1 BIX II could have done it.

I may put a couple of Ys in it to feed the one I am doing next weekend. I have plenty of line, I just have to get a 775 waterblock.

what you are using right now could have been done with 1 BIX, however even 1 BIX III is enough for a nice and large setup. I am willing to bet you will see a temp drop by removing one of those rads even after your setup is built. Because the added restriction the second rad adds. Also what fans are those and how many cfm do they push?

damn, look at all those fans

citronym · Sep 5, 2005

Yea I'm guessing Sewer is thinking those might be lower cfm fans, which would hinder performance compared to 38mm high flow fans. the BIX's really shine with the powerful fans.

The reason I went 25 is because I have a 38 in another case that is pretty loud. The noise on these are barely noticable. It used to be the noise that kept me up at night, now its the light.

The only thing that the 2 loops share is the reservoir. 2 Eheim 1250s, 2 DangerDen Xeon TDXs, and 2 BIX 3.
