Project: 0001
This is my first watercooled build.

I've been delaying this project far too long, it's time I think that I actually get to work :)

Reason for delays range from Exploding PSU's, screaming graphics cards to broken cpu coolers and many more :(


I just want to throw out a special thanks to a few people that made this possible.

Steve Cort: Runs the local PC store in my town. Had to run to his place far to many times to get replacement parts :p

Nils Papke: He made me some wonderful items. It was truly a pleasure getting to know him.

Ash Mullan: Who helped so much, she'd probably give me the beating of a life time if I forgot to include her :D


Hardware:
MB:Asus M4A79 Deluxe
CPU:Phenom 940 BE
RAM:Mushkin Black Ascent 1066
GPU:XFX 4870X2
HDD:Sumsung SpinPoint F1 1TB
PSU: Gigabyte Odin GT 800w
Chassis: Silverstone TJ07

Watercooling:
RAD: Feser Xchange 480
Pump:Liang DDC 1-T ( Modded to 1+T )
CPU:EK Supreme
GPU:Koolance VID-487X2
Tubing: Feser 3/8"
Barbs: Koolance Compression Fittings
Fluid: Feser one Clear
Fans: Yate Loon D12SM-12


Reasons for those little question marks are simply because I can't make up my mind.
I was dead set on an i7 build but now I'm waiting for Phenom 2.


I decided to get cracking today but it seems my order got messed up.
I received a DDC Pro and not an Ultra.
Now there's not a snowballs chance in hell I'll get a replacement within 2 weeks. So instead of getting all mucked up about it, I decided to grab the old soldering iron.

Here's the Pro

And here's my new Ultra :D

You'll all have to excuse my bad camera technique :p:

Cleaning my sexy Supreme

I found a lot of loose little bits of black plastic on the inside that needed to be removed.

I also got liquid on my desk :( Only 2 drops though.

My mock loop.

I had a meter of 7/16 lying around and decided to use it to mess around.

Filling it up.

Bubbles of DOOM!

I hate them so much, but atleast after about an hour they're all out of the little loop.

There's only a few small ones left in the res.

I started sleeving some cables also.

I've got many many more to do :p:
 
Small update:

Did 99% of my sleeving. Just waiting on my fans to arrive and they'll be mangled too.

I feel quite pleased, this was my first attempt at sleeving and I like it :D

Half way through 1 PCI-E. I'm also replace those nasty red connectors with black.

Done :)

SATA After

Now I'm also waiting for most of my other parts to arrive.
I hope I get some by Wednesday, but I doubt it :(
 
lol i really feel for guys when i see them post pics of loads of braiding. Imo its the most time consuming and tedious job of the entire build. They look nice and tidy so well done chap. Any pics of the rad to see how big it really is. Where is it mounting? will it fit in the bottom with the PSU there?
 
Rad fits perfectly, with about half an inch clearance from the side :D

I'll post a pic as soon as my camera is charged. *Can't seem to find my carger :( *
 
That should be very very nice when its done, massive rad, massive case, nice components, all the right points for a great build, u mounting the rad at the top?

EDIT: what cable sleeving are you using, and also, why are you sleeving EVERY wire, why not just do the cables in bunches, soooooo much less time consuming. It looks incredible the way your doing it, but im just thinking you will be there for a lot of hours

Seems to be the style of the murder mod guys, i really like it, it's something I'll be doing when i change psu :) (maybe black and red braids)
 
Blairw is right :) The exact same stuff. Also Nils handles everything in Germany.

In response to Thatguy119's question, I'll be mounting the radiator in the bottom.
 
What tools, if any, did you use to disassemble the sata power cable? Any chance of a guide for that?
