k62 swap to a 800d watercooling.

[Sgt Tackleberry]

Hi guy's and girls.

I dont know if you remember a few months a i did a project on watercooling my lancool K62 case, if not click here .
Well i really enjoyed doing but after few months i wanted to watercool my 6950/70 as well so i did but i found the temps where a little hot so i
brought another rad but where the K62 case ain't that big i could not fit it in so I change the case to a 800d, i brought it from schizo (thank m8ty).
Well 2day i got round to moving my kit from the k62 to the 800d.

Here are a few picture, not a lot sorry i got carried away setting it up
here what it look like before:

and here is what i did 2day.

2morrow i need to sort out the cables as they are a mess at the mo, so after i will post some more pictures and post some temps as well.
At the mo my cpu is running 25'c idle and 40'c fully load @4ghz on prime 95.
My 6950 flashed at 6970 is running 25'c idle and 35'c fully loaded.
hope u like the few little pictuer i have posted.

burrell,

Sorry that was a typo it ment to say 35'c load, sorry.
Thanks you .

Guitarman0,

Yes I did cut the bottom for that rad .
Yes I found a place what cuts out acrylic it only cost £15 incl p&p.

My loop goes, 360 rad - CPU - res/pump - ek 240 rad - gpu - 360 rad.

 

[Sgt Tackleberry]

Was cutting the holes for the 240 difficult? Also, were the rivets hard to remove? I am getting an 800D soon and I currently have a 280 rad in my K62 which I am very tempted to put in the bottom of the 800D along with a 360 at the top

it took me about 15mins if that to remove the cage out, with the rivets all i did was got a flat headed screw driver and small hammer and tapped them out.
There is enough room for a 280 rad.

I will be posting more picture up later, just got in from work, so give me a little bit then i will.

 

[Sgt Tackleberry]

All of these watercooled 800D build logs is giving me a rather expensive itch to try one. they all look so good

just do it, you love it m8ty....

I still aint got round to posting more picture yet i've been busying working.

 

[Sgt Tackleberry]

Looks good Sgt Tackleberry

But i need to update some picture on here now as i no longer have that cpu/mobo and gfx, the guts of that pc is the i5 760 @4ghz, gd65 mobo and the 6950 gfx.

Just out of interest Sgt Tackleberry ,
are the fans on the bottom rad pulling air in or out ?

The fans are blowing in on the bottom rad. I have now changed all my fans to the viper's, temps haven't moved but its really quite now.

Am liking the look of that Sgt Tackleberry, nice n clean looking not overcrowded bright yup am liking that a lot

Thank you very much .

Muchy likey but which way the tuck is da fans blowing

Are you on about the bottom rad still or the top rad?, Top rad i have 6 vipers fans on a push pull config now.
Bottom rad i still have 2 fans on it and blowing in.

Very sad news this morning my pump died on me so i've got to get a new one now, going to looking on the MM in a min.

 

[Sgt Tackleberry]

It's not really dusty where my pc .

What set up are you going with?.

 

[Sgt Tackleberry]

With the 360 rad and with 240 rad it will do the job well as it does for me

 

[Sgt Tackleberry]

as long as you have a nice airflow you will be fine, i have an intake fan and blowing out fan.

 

[Sgt Tackleberry]

Love the build Very neat and tidy

You must be very proud of it

Thank you very much.

I do love it, but I've been thinking of a resident evil theme, something dark and red maybe.

 

[Sgt Tackleberry]

Really I've got to get red tubing or red mayhems, not sure yet. I need to get some red fans, neons and I'm thinking of getting EK compressing fitting.
My m8 dose some vinyls so I was going to ask him to knock me something up along the lines of resident evil . So hopefully within the next month

 

[Sgt Tackleberry]

I will do another log when I get round to doing it. I will make sure it's awesome

 

[Sgt Tackleberry]

I have git a few ideas but I was going to do pen to paper and see what it looks like.
I think it's going to cost about £100 to re-theme it

 

[Sgt Tackleberry]

I think its a good thing to try and get idea's on paper, allows you to look at it from a different angle I think

So true. I was think of putting red lights behine the mobo so it stands out.

 

[Sgt Tackleberry]

I've often wondered about lights in a rig, but I'm always too busy looking at the screen, I tend not to worry about the look of whats in the case!!

But I do think that a few lights could make an awesome difference

I know what you mean, I'm the same. I just like as it adds something different to the case

 

[Sgt Tackleberry]

I use to have mine on my desk but now its on the floor.

 

[Sgt Tackleberry]

I've kicked mine a few times and its hurts a lot.

It can be dusty at sometime, but i clean my pc once aweek.

 

[Sgt Tackleberry]

I don't think I've cleaned my PC since I put it together a few months ago, but its not looking too bad... I might have to rip it too pieces later anyways

Lol, I've always cleaned my pc's every week.

Ive never cleaned my PC thats my BF's job

Lol.

 

[Sgt Tackleberry]

Love the 800D, looks very nice

Thanks
