Spring Clean

_lecro_ · 29 Jan 2012 at 23:01

Ok so my Obsideon system has been running flawlessly for 2 years now and i think its about time for a full service and a fw shiny additions

Already have new fluid,some nice red sickleflow fans ,
NB/SB block and some mosfets..

So im now thinking will it be over kill to drop a 240 rad in the bottom of my 800D ?
Ive also got a 120 rad left over from another project that didnt start which im planning on putting on the back outlet.

Also im going to be using masterclear tubing and dont want to use any angled connectors , just straight barbs .
So with that in mind what would be the best route for the tubing ?

ATM its going Res>pump>rad>cpu>gpu>res

EDIT : No there not nickel plexi before you ask Cleeecooo

No nickel plexi?! BURN THE INFIDEL!!!

Cant remember exactly how the 800D goes, but off the top of my head the best route would be:
Top rad
Res
Pump
Bottom rad
GPU
CPU
Top rad again.

And when cooling so much, the second rad wouldn't hurt

Dont forget the mosfets/full board

Ive seen a lot on Youtube going with a horizontal links... looks good but if i start at the top theres going to be quit a bend from the main board to GPU.

I think the best way to do it would be, after going through res pump and both rads, to work yourself up the computer component to component.

This is just off of the top of my head though

Really !!

I was thinking res>pump>240>mosfets>360>cpu>120>gpu>res

Sgt Tackleberry · 31 Jan 2012 at 00:01

mine in my 800d goes;

res/pump>240>GPU>360>CPU.
CPU temps: idle 25'c, 40'c @ load
GPU temps: idle 25'c, 35'c @ load

Sweet temps .. are those with the i5 2500k .?
my 920s are much higher @4ghz
usually idle around 32-42 depending on heating
prime95 ... 49-58c

Lordgrayone · 31 Jan 2012 at 00:49

Mine goes res/pump/360/gpu/CPU/360
As it was the best/neatest route

My CPU is i5 2500k overclocked to 4.8ghz @ 1.37v.
My GPU is gtx 580 3gb @ Stock.

Ahh That explains it , apparently the new i5/i7s are much cooler than the old ones

Anyway new goodies arrived today

Sgt Tackleberry · 31 Jan 2012 at 15:54

Somewhere, sat at his desk, Cleeecooo just died a bit inside...

They do look good though

I was going to get nickel plexi as everywhere i looked didnt have the black in stock but i came across some at the last minute ..

Woohoo some bitspower fittings just turned up

Sgt Tackleberry · 1 Feb 2012 at 04:29

Looking nice. Should post a log in the case central so we can see the whole lot

Cupra · 1 Feb 2012 at 04:50

stick a 140.2 in the bottom, ive done this with mine and it works amazingly well, fits nice and its the perfect size to fill the already meshed area of the case (you do need to extend it tho)

my loop goes

pump, gpu, gpu, top rad, cpu, gpu, gpu, bottom rad, pump

Im also getting the hotswap door modded to hold a fan and it has a sythe kama on the front

so intake will be when totaly finished

2x140mm fans on rad @ bottom 2 x 120 mm fans on front

exhaust will be 1x 140mm fan on back, 3x 120mm fans on rad @ top

They don't look horrid, just not as good as nickel plexi

Pics look great though!

i like both:

- plexi is more bling and for a more shiny, brighter finish

- acetal is more industrial looking, more menacing, and the opposite of bling

_lecro_ · 1 Feb 2012 at 22:18

Menacing and industrial 4TW
i prefer to leave plexi for things it best at like fish tanks

It can look more sleek... sometimes

It's like a white iPhone and a black one.

Black looks more professional, white just looks amazing!
