hailea chiller project

Do you find that there is still a lot of heat being contained within your case even with the external chiller? I'm thinking of getting one of these in the future and get rid of my radiators.

With everything under water I have no fans and there's no heat in my case.
My PC is totally silent

It seems rather, huge to have a loop like that, but I can see the benefits of this.

Yeah I can see how you would think that but Im an extreme enthusiast and therefore Its fun to set up rather than be a chore.
It may be a large loop but its all hidden and I have koolance quick disconnect at the point where fluid enters my PC for easy disconnection and maintenance.

Are the quick disconnects good, i need something like this for a planned build?
 
Just want to give Kudos to "Cammy5477" for this project.

I've followed it for my Hailea HC500A build. I have used a Dimastech rig so it's not pretty but thanx to this thread I was able to get everything up and running, including the Hailea auto startup box. I was also able to use the EK reservoir top coupled to my D5 pump, which was a relief not having to hook up a coolbox as a res. My garage is next to my computer room so I was able to park the Hailea there (1 inch masonry drill required....no that's not the length of the drill :D )

Once again, nice one Cammy. :)

Very nice, great job of the sleeve.

EDIT

I went back and read the whole thread again, do they make these pumps any more efficient these days? Or has not much changed in power consumption terms?

Question is a bit too general for me.......... sorry.

Am I happy with this setup, following Cammys' thread quite closely, including the D5 pump performance and res size?..........definitely :)

Of course...............ymmv :)

Superb mate glad it was off some use to you.

Feel free to post up some of your pics in my thread so I can see what you have done.

Not sure if it's for display before the watershed :).

It's a Dimastech rig with single stage hooked up and an A500 plumbed into the graphics through the garage wall. I've insulated all the pipework in the comp room with Armaflex 2.5 inch foam because I'm taking the temps down to 4c. Using 20% Propyl to keep the chiller from icing up.

I know it's not subzero like my SS unit but the quietness without the radiator fans is worth the effort...........if a bit costly for initial outlay.

Hi

What did you use at the end of your copper pipe to connect the flexi pvc water pipe over it. I see tightening clips but anything extra?
 
Great work there. I absolutely love Danger Den (or loved, past tense :( ) so you're lucky to have that case.

Looks awesome.

Greetings.

I don't see many people making build logs or full reviews of their Hailea Chiller cooled PC's, so im asking around.

Cammy, got some questions for ya. Would have PM'd but I don't got the privileges >.<

What kind of load can that HC500 unit handle ?
By that I mean, with ur system fully stressed, both CPU and GPU(S), can it maintain sub 10c water temperatures ?

What is the flow rate in ur system ? I know the Hailea chillers have a recommended flow rate of 1200L/H +, which from what I can tell is the maximum flow rate the strongest PC grade water pumps can do when un-restricted. So with only 1 pump im wondering what flow rates ur getting.

I ask because im planning a future build which currently will consist of a Hailea HC1000 (1hp chiller) + 18 Litre res +1 or 2 MCP655 pumps (all of which will be in my loft space), a custom made sealed PC case containing the PC components, a mini peltier dehumidifier, a single 120mm rad & Noctua NFF12 fan in the loop controlling internal air temp, a future equivalent 5930k CPU with OC, and 2x Flagship EVGA Classified GPU's with OC, and SSD's instead of any HDD's. (All of which will be in the room below)

The inside of the case will look like any other high end water loop with PETG hard tubing, 2 Monsoon MMRS reservoirs, and Polished Acrylic Water blocks for the CPU and GPU's. Using mayhems Non Stain Red dyed X1 Coolant.

Im just trying to find out how much thermal load these Hailea chillers can handle whilst maintaining sub 10c water temps. The HC500 seems to be the most popular but im getting mixed reports on how much load it can handle, most builds only seem to be using 1 GPU and/or are old builds using cpu's and gpu's that output less heat than current generation ones do, hence why my current plan is to get the much larger HC1000 unit.

Cheers
