Black Box Max3 V3.1

[Maximilium]

Sorry it took me so long to answer

last month i had so much stuff going on, upgrade the pluming, replaced the pump (the one i had was too noisy), lost the motherboard by Ms. Short Circuit , Lost the password for this forums, and it took me 1 week to figure out how to publish on my web-page (were i link my pictures).

First is really important to understand this:
Official update for the P4 motherboards temp issue
IC7 MAX3 Temerature survey

My temperatures so far are, without overcloaking "After" the new upgrades:

System temp @ 23C
CPU Idle 34.5C (min I seen so far)to 37C, @ load 38C to 40C(max i seen so far

Purrdy PC-75B. Nice rig

Can't wait to finish working with my new PC-75B either. Time to somehow integrate this Vapochill XE into the top of the case. I can't stand the cramped space in the Vapochill case.

Id like to see at least some custom paint or personalized fangrills, otherwise it looks like just alot of money in a box.

No offense but put some heart into it.

Other than that, it looks to be a killer rig you put together.

AMEN!

*looks down at her PC-75B and coughs*

Anyway, nice build otherwise, is that hammered finish paint on the interior?

Why is there an Unreal fan grill just laying on the bottom?

I like the bubble thing on the top... gives my an idea.

Looks like it's sound guarding

Thats sound dampening marerial, the Unreal logo is not a Fan grill lol, I got it with the new Unreal Tournament special edition 2004.

I know I didnt painted sport stripes on the side of the case or made a dragon on the window, is not that i cant, is just that I did not wanted to, it took 10 month to finish this computer (not because I was waiting on delivery guy)

There is somthing strange about the mod. It does have style but.....
I deffinetly give you props for all the work you put into it. Its a clean case with lots going on....but that ram..grrr I can't stand that stuff.

 

[Tazon]

man what use do you have for two gigs of ram? ram disk??

 

[Tnick24]

thats one intense setup you have there! I get confused trying to trace where everything goes. does that flow switch just show you that your water is moving or is there another reason??

I got it set up to shutt-down computer in 1 second if flow gets too low or for some reason the pumps stop working. My pumps are 12V dc conected to a external power supply.

Note: Not all motherboards will shutt-down if the cpu fan rpm signal is lost, you have to actually disconect the fan (after computer boots up) to test if your motherboard will actually turn computer off.

 

[Alexia]

OH! I didn't notice the flow switch! That is so cool!

 

[Maximilium]

Here is the modification i did to the Aqua-Tube Res.

Sweet mod, killer rig. Where did you get the flow switch?

Gems Sensors also make the same flow switch, they have almost no flow restriction, but they cost around $150.00. If you are lucky you can also find them at eBay.

Hey Max. Saw this on a few different boards, but I'll say again, 1st rate work on it.

Good job!

I wish I could afford one of those flow sensors, I guess I'll stick to a flow switch for now though.

 

[VAdept]

Ouch, that hurts. Guess I will have to go the DIY route unless I win the lottery. Then again, if I do win the lottery I will be building a sustainable LN2 system
