800d Watercooling advice

Pgreenwo · 26 Jun 2012 at 22:25

Yeah a bit too high on the voltage. Just dropping slowly to find the min for 5ghz. Thanks for all your help PGI. Enjoyed doing my first water loop. Will post pics tomorrow and final temps

Look forward to the pics, you've really done that 800D justice

Looks great, nice job, add those cards to the loop at some point

Thanks all, Really appreciate the help on my first water build. Here it is finished.
Final temps with the SP120 fans is 4.9ghz 1.38v = 64c 1 hour of prime room27c

Looks sooooo much better than my 800D, very impressed. How are the SP120's noise-wise?

looks really good

They are very loud vs the noctua. The 120mm fans on the rads are the sp120 high performance edition. Going to try them with the 7v connectors later see how the temps are that way should be better Db wise.

Looks good mate, must be nice to have all that room to work with, lol.

Thats a shame, they do look nice though. Is that the official corsair braided cable kit you have or did you DIY?

Pgreenwo · 27 Jun 2012 at 19:27

It's the corsair cables. I don't have the patience to do them myself. The kit is a decent price to be honest too. I'll post back on the 7v fan noise I believe it makes a big difference. Sp on these is huge and maybe in hindsight the lower rpm's would be a better option. For the quality of fan they are pretty low priced

That looks so neat - v.impressed.

Interested to know why you didn't go for a fan controller?

Thanks - I'm only trying the 7volt converter to answer PGI's question. I don't mind a bit of fan noise I tend to have it cranked up on the speakers or listen to music.

I know this is off topic but i have to say this build looks amazing!

lrlcr · 28 Jun 2012 at 21:06

how do you find the bay res? are you getting any resonance?

HAz · 29 Jun 2012 at 06:21

Looks good but get a fan controller with having all them fans

Pgreenwo · 7 Jul 2012 at 17:21

Got a controller in the hot swap bays now. Here are temps now I have finally stopped messing with it. Room temp is 24c

Quite happy with these. 15c better than the H100

Pgreenwo · 17 Jul 2012 at 22:14

Ok- Now I'm addicted to buying new bits. Added the GPU blocks today and put in the black tubing and finished the lighting.

jeff6475 · 17 Jul 2012 at 22:19

That looks sexxxyyy

Emjay86 · 17 Jul 2012 at 22:52

Once you have finished could you add a picture with the side panel on?

That would be great, thanks!

Keep up the good work!

P.S. are those corsair fans any good? Im thinking of getting one to go under the grill where the 2 WC tubing grommits are (by the PSU).

Really pleased with the fans. I have one of the AF140's there seems to pull in plenty. The SF120 are the HP ones 2k revs bit loud but every bit as good as my Noctua 120's
