Liquid Cosmos 2

This is my first ever attempt at water cooling, so I thought I would share it with you.

I will be adding some orange LED's at some point to give it some glow

Looks good mate, my only criticism is that the tubing could be shorter and so look neater.

Did you have any leaks?

supergluechris · 28 Dec 2012 at 09:53

My only leak is in the res. Where the clear plastic screws onto the base of the pump it finds it's way up the thread and some times leaks slowly hence the kitchen towel. It is screwed on tight. It's not leaked in a while but if it continues then I will have to use some tape

Looks good, quality case too, just got rid of my cosmos 2 case as i had no proper room for it. So much room to work inside the case though, and plenty for cable tidying at the rear too.

Leak fixed! Used some Teflon tape to seal the thread. Working great!

Got my leaky res back and got some different coolant and some LED's

Updated!

Nice red glow now, it's a real shame there isn't a windowed door available yet to show it off more.

It's meant to be orange

Now that's just teasing

if only I had the cash, looks stunning mate.

nice build

Which dye have you used? I'm after an orange colour, but yours defineitely looks RED in the last few photies...

I presume you had the flash set on the camera - if you shine a lamp onto the rig, and disable the flash, you may get a truer representation of the colours.

I must admit, when the fluid arrived it looked red. in the loop however it looks orange. just a very dark orange compared to the mayhems. I used Aqua computer DP UltraII- orange

supergluechris · 14 Jan 2013 at 08:58

my idle temps. Seems quite high. I was getting about 25-30 with the mayhems

Maybe the thermal paste needs re doing. The tubs are not warm at all though while gaming, Played battlefield 3 for an hour and it never got above 44 degrees

looks good i had the cosmos s, i wanted one of these but too expensive.

you might want to try pulling the cold air into the radiator from the underneath at some point bet it will drop your temps a bit, personal preferance though.

regards the window anyone ever use that kustom pc place where you can send your side panel off to get a window put in for £35 odd ?

Well I just had to RMA my HX850 so that machine is down. Using my backup system.

As for the fans. You can't put them below the rad as there is no room.

Nice tidy Job for your first ottempt but I personally don't like the orange with the other colours.

Thanks. Also, I wanted the UP7 but it's a little bit expensive at the moment and when I chose the motherboard I went for price/performance rather than colour scheme
