Water block homade abt 4 hours work =10
Tubing 3 metre 12mm =8
3 12mm elbows =1.80
20 clamps some for spares =10
res box =2.50
4 fans =40
kh heater core =15
cable spliters adaptors x2 =4
total =188.30 aus

case front oh yah thats my folding temps on the hardcano 2
stays with in there if abient doesnt vary too much

[packratbob]

top

[JFettig]

wow thats pretty ccool, and does that rez have a top?, i had 4 fans on my core like that for a while, but now i got my 120s and my temps are down a LOT

is that antifreeze?

[Oblic]

where did you get that green "sh*t" from ?

[packratbob]

Bottom. still need heat spreaders on the second ram and a decent chipset cooler too

[packratbob]

my friend the drill with a side cutter drill bit does every thing and this is all i used to mod the case. its my best friend lol.

[packratbob]

second best friend.

crap i lost the dremel bit somewhere.. this is a dremel wannabe. its crap!!! but it helps tidy up burrs.

[packratbob]

damn i forgot the pic

from my car lol yup its antifreeze and b4 u say stuff let me explain.

I had to use it cos thats all i had in terms of corrosion protection. and i was storing bottles of this stuff in the freeze to see how high i can over clock. i got to 1890 with cpu temps at 11 degs.

Yah i bought a 120mm 108 cfm sunon but its too damn luad so i switched back to the 4 80mm it does the same though.
i used the 120 on a reall getto cooling job on a overclock duron 850@1150 vcore 2.00 lol temps at 33 folding

are the fans on your radiator blowing anywhere? you may be able to decrease the temps by putting a fan on the other side to reduce air pressure.

yah its a pretty tight fit i got to get more fans to increase flow but its just blowing in to the case at the moment and extracted up the top by a 5 1/4 drive bay

you gots antifreeze in there, that reduces water efficiency a LOT and you got a lot in there it looks like, when i used antifreeze i only put enuf in to tint the water green. not color it... thats practally strait antifreeze?

[Mizzery]

Looks like a lot of antifreeze to me 2. I love the duct tape. (my computer just wouldn't be right without it)

[illbreakit]

antifreeze may not work as well, but it sure looks cool. Has anyone tried food coloring or something else to get cool looking water?

[Warlord2]

looks nice

the only thing I would change is that anti-freeze, unless you are mixing copper and aluminum together you only need like 5% of the system to be anti-freeze. Water transfers heat much better thin anti-freeze so you will decrease your temps if you dilute the anti-freeze with water.

some people use dielite, some use food coloring, iv tried one of them liquidy pens... the pen stained the hoses really good.... i think food coloring mite stain it, but it mite not, give it a try.... im gonna use a highlighter for my next one instead of dielite...
