and hi by the way.

 

[Rob 80386]

hiya, sorry for the confusion I got the image tags wrong, have fixed it now

Julie is the name of the system in the picture, it's a fully closed watercooled pc

 

[Schizo]

why julie ?

not many people name there pc julie let alone any name.

just curious.

 

[Rob 80386]

well to cut a long story short

all the tower systems I've built have all been called Julie, even my 486 was called Julie

The only shop bought pc I've had would be a "Celery" (refers to Celeron) based Laptop, sold it now though and bought a Macbook

Lol i dont know ANY one who has kept one for too long

 

[RynceWynd]

what are you running in there and how are the temps on your loop?

any overclocks?

 

[kerrgreg]

can you tell us more about the loop

Looks to me like two ddc's a 120.3 rad a 120.1 rad with a cpu gpu gpu block? do you have a res or is that what you mean by closed loop?

 

[Admiral Huddy]

Welcome,

It would be nice if you could post a build log and Specs etc?

Indeed you are right, I have 2x swiftech MCP355 with XSPC Acetal tops
2x EK universal VGA waterblocks (full cover blocks for the powercolour series 4890 cards are not yet available)
1x EK Supreme LT CPU block
G1/4 thread barbs for 3/8 ID tubing
3/8 ID - 1/2 OD Clearflex tube
1x XSPC 120 triple rad for the graphics loop
1x XSPC 120 single rad for the CPU
2x Thermaltake Flow TX flow indicators

I don't have a res in this setup, it was filled from a washing up bowl with distilled water and some algae growth inhibitor mixed in with it, then sealed up. thats what I mean by a closed loop, no res

The system specs are.......

Case: Coolermaster Cosmos - S
Motherboard: Asus Rampage Extreme
CPU: Core2 Duo E8400 @ 3.00GHz
Graphics Cards: ATI 4890 Powercolour series
PCI Cards: Peak Dual Tuner DVB-T card
Sound: PCI-e riser card onboard Creative X-Fi
HDD: 1TB Hitachi 7200RPM
Optical drive: Sony DVD-RW DL
Power supply: CoolerMaster Real Power M850 850W
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit

I do have build logs of this system on my laptop, with pictures, i'll find them and post them here

Haha cool, between them they may have baby AT's or mATX's


Is your pc also liquid cooled?

 

[Rob 80386]

I've taken some fresh pics of the loop

 

[miniyazz]

That does look good. One day when I can justify upgrading my case I'll have my triple rad internal. Then I can dispense with the quick disconnects and have a closed loop that doesn't have the odd air bubble floating around, which is what I've got atm :/
