[Buildlog] 900D with Triple GTX Titans

I do have 5mm LED holes in the top of both reservoirs and I put some XSPC LEDs in there but they are not strong enough to light up the res. I havent come across those lightport fittings before. I just did a brief search but couldnt find what I need so far.

I also seem to have a weird PSU issue too.
When I power on the PC, the PSU shuts down after 2 secs, then after another 3 secs it comes back on again and the PC boots into windows. Temps etc all look normal the PC behaves fine from then on, no burning smell etc.
Note that this only happens if I had the PSU power switch at the rear in the off position initially and then I switch it to the on position before I power on the PC.
If I shutdown the PC via Windows and I power on again, while keeping the PSU rear switch in the on position, the power up sequence is ok.

Its a corsair 1200w PSU. Surely if there was a short somewhere the PSU will power on/off continuously? And it seems strange that the issue only occurs after cycling the rear PSU switch.

I have virtually the same set up as you, mine does exactly the same thing on start up.

As pgi stated, 8pack confirmed this as normal :)
 
Thanks chaps! That puts my mind at ease.

I did use the same PSU and Mobo in the old 800D and if memory serves, it never power cycled like this. In the new 900D build the only difference in terms of extra load would be the two D5 pumps, the fan controller and all connected fans.
 
ah my ruddy Asus board does that too!

fantastic build and spec, wish I had a need to go 900D and dual cpu or something...

I love that drain port, def gonna sort my drainage issues out properly when i'm back in the country!
 
Drain port is really handy and would recommend it. Put it on the lowest point of your loop if possible and you can easily drain the whole thing in about a minute.

Cant take credit for mine though as I copied the idea from another chap here, one who also has a 900D + Titans with a purple and white colour scheme in his loops. :-)
 
Thanks.
Temps are pretty good I think. The Titans are 27 degrees on idle and on full load they go up to around 37 degrees depending on ambient temp.
The CPU is about mid 30's idle and on Prime95, the average across the cores is in the high 60s.
That's with the case still open on both sides. I wanted to run it like this for a few days to make sure that there were no issues before I tidy up cables and close it all up.
 
Awesome.

I would love to do some thing similar at the end of the year. How did you install the graphic cards? one at a time and then build the cooling in after?

I asked as I'm thinking of using quick disconnets as my MB failed last week and it a pain in the ass the take out the cards.
 
Triple :o, very neat and well layed out build, I should really check out project logs more often, get quite epic builds in them!

Cheers, Thanks.

The graphics cards were tricky to install mainly due to their weight and the way the 2 SLI flow bridges get screwed together. I had to put them in one at time and be very careful. Any future changes to either the mobo or GPUs will require me to drain the loops.
I've no experience of those quick disconnects.
 
Very nice build, all this looking at case p0rn makes me want to get going and water cool my current rig and get some decent overclocks going, just need some money...

I'm thinking of adding a drain port like that to my 900D build, however how does it fit into the case? does it push back in with the dust filters and the aluminium front or is it sturdy and stick out the whole time?

Sticking out from the T-Fitting, is a 10mm male to male fitting, then comes the Valve itself, then another 10mm male to male fitting and finally a 90degree XSPC fitting.
The outer male to male and 90 degree fittings are not normally there, I just had them in place for drainage. With those 2 fittings removed, the dust cover just about fits on with an ever so slight bulge. However if I changed the 10mm male to male(where the T-fitting is) to a 5mm one, the dust cover should go on without a problem.

Hope this makes sense. :)
