hailea chiller project

I'd love an upgrade but I sadly wont be able to afford one for a long time!! Girl friends are awesome but mine gave me a present I never thought I would have so I'm saving for that instead now!!

Oh your GPU score I'm surprised at not being a bit higher with that 6990, is it overclocked?

congrats mate :)

6990 is totally stock
could move the switch over but theres not really any need
 
We weren't even bloody trying that's made us even in more shock!! :p she handed me a pregnancy test and I said what's this for!! :p :eek:

I noticed the GPU score being around 38k which I didn't think was bad at all for a single card :) I think my 2 580's at stock managed about 42k??
 
kids are ace mate...youll love it

i spent friday night re building my 12 year olds rig....bought him a haf x and changed it all over with his help..loved every minute of it.

i will flick the switch, ramp it up and re-run 3d mark :)
 
My girl friend has two already, we get on great :) They love their gaming and her eldest is really getting into PC's with me so its really good :D I've got 4 AMD rigs sat here doing nothing, so I'm giving them to the boys and one to her brother!! :)

I'm looking forward to helping them build their rigs too :)

I bet the temps wont even touch 20!! :p Whilst I was testing TRI SLI with my 3 580's, at stock settings the top one touched 85!! Not bad for air cooling I guess :) I've just got to decide what to do with them as I want three for the each of the three screens but I'm wondering if I should just go and grab a few new cards when I can afford it... Any thoughts??

I'll post up my little Vantage score with two 580's :)
 
Wow - some evolution!

Love the build - especially the chiller under the floor. I'm on the first floor, so I can't do that :(

I've got an old Vapochill unit sat on a chair waiting to be put back into action - time permitting. Like you, work takes up a lot of my time.

One question came to mind reading through this log - forgive me if I've missed you explaining how, but how do you set the temperature on the chiller? Is it on the chiller or is it now done remotely?

thanks man :)

chiller temps are set on the chiller, the chiller sits directly under an alcove i have that my printer sits on, i made a shelf for the alcove which allows me to gain access to the chiller from above.

it basically lets me if i need to move the printer then lift the shelve away and look down a hole there is in the floor in the false wall, from here i can put a hand down and change the temps without going under the floor. i can also access under the floor from a downstairs cupboard but the hand through method is easier.

once the temp is set you dont really need to change it though, at first i had it at 10c but ran in to dew point once so set it to 12c and its been fine since (even on warm days).
it would be very nice if you could do it remote. i would never leave it alone
 
Loving the build Cammy, especially the chiller. Im thinking of getting one of those chillers for IB , but not at your price :). I'll only use it on my CPU loop with a 360 rad, and with the heating (house) set to 20 normally, what would the chiller need to be set at before condensation becomes a problem?, thanks :)
 
Cammy, many thanks for posting your great setup.

Questions for you.

Do you know what the coolant flow-rates are on the loop?

Where is the switech pump situated relative to the chiller?

Interested to know if the pump pumps the water down then back up again and how much impact this has on flow-rates.

hi buddy
if you have a chiller you dont need any rads at all, the chiller takes the place of all this stuff.
rule of thumb i have found is no more the 10c below ambient for example my house is set to 20c and i have my chiller set at 12c. i have had very little issues with it at 12c

hi besty thanks for the kind words mate

i have a d5 vario pump which sits in the bottom right hand side of my case below the res.
the chiller is about a metre down from this point and the loop is about 4 litres in size. not sure what the flow rate is in litres per minute but im sure there able for up to a 4 metre head of pressure so its not breaking a sweat really.
i will post up pics shortly of how my system is right now so everybody can see
 
Cammy5477 am looking at getting that chiller am currently using stock watercooling with a 3 fan rad and my 3770k is in the high 70s 4.6Ghz. I need lower temps to go further all am wondering is do i need to use armaflex on the board and tubes and would setting the chilller to 12c be enough for ivybridge chips.

Hey bro
You would need to insulate every part of the loop if you wanted to drop below dew point, so every tube and any metal that gets cold due to your loop.
Eg the side of blocks and any clamps or jubilee clips.
At 12c I don't have many issues with condensation so I keep it there which keeps my loop colder than any fan/rad combo out there by a mile.
My 3960x at 4.75ghz sits around 18c idle and 40c full load.
This is with another 7ish things in the loop also including 6990.
Great piece of kit but only for a serious enthusiast.
