He's not building it people....he's getting ready to list on the mm :)

Nice build Mr tbag,some nice components there.
 
Morning FFoot :)

Not good :(

The res does not fit even tried a spare on the off chance nope. Short of fixing res to case and having a run of tubing between it and the dual top cant think of what else I can do at the moment.

Don't really want to re design the loop guess I will have to order a res that fits and wait for it to arrive ...... gah!!!!

The res I wanted to use was an Ek x2 res 250 multi option anyone care to recommend a replacement?

 
Can you not just put a g1/4 male/male barrel between the top and the res? Would join them together without tubing....

First of all - ABOUT TIME!

What exactly is the problem with the RES?

Afternoon S the res is absolutely fine but I was looking at the box when I ordered fittings, the D5 link was fine but the res is 60mm not the 50mm I needed. My own fault for not checking properly.

Hope all is well and hows fatherhood? :)
 
Afternoon :)
SO dual D5 eh? I would love to know how much flow you would have!(Although flow is not as much effective in lowering temps in my view).

I have 2 x D5's as well but one is sitting in my goodies box :) I want to put 2 x D5s in my loop just for the kicks but it is very hard to find a dual top(which is not made by EK).

Fatherhood is going well, Now I am trying to finish work and go home by 5pm - or erlier - every day :)
I guess I still have one more mod run left in me ;)

Good luck with the build, show us your plan, how are you planing to put the loop?

Fair point T, it will look epic once done.

Have you gotten to the point of wishing you hadn't bothered yet? I get that a few times a build, have a sulk and a cig then get back at it :p

Afternoon S :)

Glad to hear family is all ok long may it continue!

I ordered the correct bits n pieces Friday for Saturday delivery only they sent the wrong stuff not happy at all especially as I paid a premium for pre noon delivery grrrr.

Decided to just make the best of what I have it means changing the look and probably the loop but am getting stuck in, and by the time I get refunds for all the new/unused stuff I might be able to retire :D

Am not much good with photoshop so the loop so far

Res > 2 x d5 > mb > cpu > 780 >780 > 480 rad > 480 rad

Not totally sure which res to use, the one I got from you has too many options which is only serving to confuse me even more especially with those crystal links :confused::eek::)

Need to put thoughts to pen and paper try and unravel the chaos.

The red bitspower is definitely out gah I dunno maybe a lunch break would be a better idea.

Oh yes indeed about 11am yesterday morning when postie delivered the wrong stuff was hopping mad, as you say a sulk few cigs and back at it today .... I think :confused:

Cheers for the kind words peeps :)
 
Just adding anti-vibration cage to the dual top and took a look at the threads, they are very dis-coloured almost rusty looking, not impressed they plaster the shiny silver logo everywhere yet use rotten looking mounts??




Decided rather than wait for yet more replacements am just going to use the initial res from Avatar77 as follows

Res will be mounted 3-4 inches above the dual top block
so flow will be

1. Res > pumps > top quad rad >mosfets > cpu > gpu > gpu > lower quad rad > Res 2



Am thinking both pumps set to 3 3.5 should be enough to push to top rad around and down through second rad and back to res using the top inlet as a fillport

If it looks like it could be done differently or more efficiently please let me know I can take criticism if its constructive :)
 
About time you got round to this T, that 900D must have had an inch of dust on it. :p
Sorry to hear you`re having a few problems but I`m sure you`ll get it sorted.
Look forward to seeing the rest of build, will be keeping an eye on this thread.
Sorry, can`t offer any advice, as I know bugger all about watercooling.:D
 
Around 3-3.5 will be more then enough with serial D5's, I had a pair in serial both set at 5 pushing a monster of a loop, my loop was filled and bled inside 15 mins, emptied a 450ml res in a couple of seconds, massive amount of pressure/flow :D

I had res>pump>pump>GPU>GPU>CPU>MB>360>1080>280>260>res. Single D5 couldn't cope, a pair of them ate it for breakfast :)
 
Hi Tony
Bit confused with the placement of the RES and Pump(s).
Are you going to place the RES right on top of the Pump Top?

In your RES, ;
Outlet going to be from one of the ports on the bottom pom cap and inlet going to be from one of the side ports of the bottom pom cap?

If so, I would remove the crystal tube from the outlet of the RES.
It would make the draining much easier!
Also, don't over tighten the RES, I have heard some stories about RES cracking(made me check my loop :))

When I first saw 900D case, I thought that will fit 2 x 480 RADs in the bottom compartment and PSU can go in the Top!
This may require some modding to fix the PSU and partitioning to hide it(may be using plexi?) ;)
