Frosty's 780Ti X79 Overhaul

[Silent_Scone]

I wasn't planning on mounting it. I was under the impression it would take it's own weight lol. No problem drilling into the tray I guess.

 

[Sin_Chase]

Velcro tbh!

Quicker, easier, just as invisible and reversible!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Fair point

 

[Silent_Scone]

Now these are the kind of stories that put me off Water cooling the Gpu's.

How's this old jalopy of yours getting on btw?

Yeah It's new waters for me too. No pun intended lol.

Jalopy, cheek . Res and few bits due tomorrow morning so going to get started on the GPU blocks and take the machine apart next week .

Am off till Thursday.

Does indeed look a nice peice of kit you're building up. Look forward to seeing the end product and how the Gpu's perform.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Cheers, silently hopefully besides a wee bit of coil whine

As you are using a bay res as well is the reason for the tube res just to add volume to the loop ?

I think I remember Kaap had a kind of similar set up (number of components) with just a bay res.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Not the only reason, it makes an easier fill point also, and avoids the kink I was getting. It's not 'required' if that's what you're implying .

Was going to get cracking on doing a few more bits today as the res and temp sensor arrived, but everyone in the house hold apart from me has a stomach bug, so that puts that to bed lol

Very nice build Mr Frosty - good work. Hope they all feel better soon, and hope you don't get it too!!!!

Thanks Mark, no doubt I will

Dont say that - you will beg your luck - btw where abouts in Surrey are you as I used to live in New Malden, Surrey for 28 Years.

Happy New Year to you.

East Grinstead currently with the GF . Which is on the boarders, currently I'm in West Sussex! I've lived in Surrey for most of my life though, Coulsdon / Purley .

Happy New Year also

Sorry to say I don't know New Malden all that well!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Everyone conked out for an hour so I took that time to put in the res to make sure it'd be comfy. Thankfully had a few spare angled compression fittings and EK block angled ones to make up for the poor spacing on the ports . Think it looks pretty at home.

No drilling required. Decided not to use the backing plate and bought some industrial strength Velcro from Homebase .

Nice going there Mr Frosty - coming along well. Yep know coulsdon reasonably well - nice neck of the woods as they say.

Shall follow this to completion.

Thanks Mark




Does anyone know where I can get (or if they do) the Koolance angled quick disconnect for 1/2 3/4"?

It's either rare as rocking horse **** or it doesn't exist.

AFAIK - they don't exist - I have never seen them, but could be wrong of course.

Might be because theyre too chunky I guess.

 

[Silent_Scone]

So, last few bits arriving

Not too clunky with the QDCs on.

 

[Sin_Chase]

Transforrrmers, waterblocccks in disguise!

 

[Silent_Scone]

lol they're eff'in clunky .

I was tempted to scrap them on the EK bridge TBH, I may still as the run from the outlet is a bit of a mare. a 90d bend might be required.
