My first watercooling rig!!

knightwolf6543 · Feb 23, 2006

well here it is:
its basically a swiftech heavy duty water cooling kit with a few changes.
i used PC ice as the coolant which is working rather well with the storm block.
i also had to mod a maze 3 socket hold down in order to get the storm to work with my motherboard

i know its overkill for a sempron 2600 but i do plan on upgrading to a opteron 165

idle is: 27
load is: 33

Looks nice. Is your mobo a Rev. A or B Lanparty? Looks a lot like mine so I'm guessing B.

citronym · Feb 23, 2006

Looks nice. I'm curious as to why you didn't flip your rad the other way to avoid those 2 bends.

knightwolf6543 · Feb 23, 2006

its a rev a, and sry man i could of sworn i put it in the sub topic, and dident know about the siggy, i go read rules now

dylskee · Feb 23, 2006

Looks good knightwolf6543, but i was wondering why you put the rad upside down also? And :welcome:

to the forums.

Evilsizer · Feb 23, 2006

why would rad orientation matter?

citronym · Feb 23, 2006

I was only referring to why he didn't point the barbs towards the inside of the case, it would have saved some tubing and avoided a couple bends (bends are bad for flow). I doubt its making much of a difference tho. And having a rad upside down (so the barbs are at the top) makes bleeding easier (usually). As far as that goes, nothing a little case tilting can't solve.

otogrim · Feb 23, 2006

I think he put the rad facing away from the case so that he can use the premade holes on his case.

Vaio · Feb 23, 2006

That would be the correct answer.

Wolf, I was there when you finished building that. Just to be fair, are you going be free in a couple weeks

knightwolf6543 · Feb 24, 2006

of course i will be, and yes the reason for the rad being the way it is, is to use the pre made holes in the case. as for bleeding yeah a bit of case tilting did the job
