my dual 360 rads in my 800d are finished

[timciren]

Now that i DOOOOOO like! i like that a lot. Very simple but clean and pretty.

Nice job with cable management.

the advantage of making one loop then the other meant I could put it back together the second time more carefully when I knew what wires I had to deal with, it didnt look like this first time

 

[mast3r]

i see i see! but comeeee on lad! you must have some more detailed pics.

 

[Muel]

Faster updates please!

 

[timciren]

I guess I need to vote for a build log section at case central, once I fell off the front page I let the updating slide ...
Trying not to epeen but rjks score on the rampage thread #1244 was 26239

 

[timciren]

need to clock the 5970 now, but the system is noisier than I hoped, tried setting the fans to silent but the temps now the case is under my desk are getting a bit high, maybe a fan controller is simplest ?
also need to sort ssd times

Yeah but you have a 5970 so its not a fair comparison. He's getting that off 1 GPU Do like the x2 360 rad mod, very interesting.

 

[gatecrasherlok]

Hmm thats awsome mate.Liking the dedication you put in to fit that 360 rad into the bottom. Must have been a real pain in the backside.

I know my place really! not sure the scores make any difference irl

thx on the loops, I hadnt seen one before but now eclectic has one too and he has 140s in the roof

a couple of battery charges later my drill was blunt....

Holy sheet, you drilled the mesh yourself , brafreakingvo bro , really well done, looks spot on.

 

[Skeng]

I'm confused. I've just realised that your Drive Bay res supports 2 pumps. Why Dont you use both pumps in that res so you Dont need to have the pump mounted under the GPU.

very weird !
compared to your build a few holes is nothing !
I went to bed dreaming about how to make a case from scratch using mesh and there you are in the morning !, my thought were started by looking at the LV3000..
the idea of using some heat fins from under floor heating to have the exterior of the case as a giant rad, but I am on the other side of the time / work scale

I saved £ 5 and only ordered the res with mounts for one pump, a couple of days before I decided to add the second loop, I was too eager to start

 

[timciren]

the build log was in a seperate thread, excuse my newbness and I will stick on the end of this one so its all in one place ....

Well hardly anything from my original picking list made it.
Trying to decide on which ASUS mobo and I saw the Rampage and was powerless to resist.
The red and black led onto Corsair Dominator RAM and the search for an older Corsair HX620 with a red label.
It took 5 different suppliers to get everything here within 3 days.

I have looked at lots of builds here and know there will be lots of tweaks, so I decided to get a basic loop running and see how it goes.

The reason/ justification for the build is to show my son ( who has just started his GCSE IT ) whats inside the boxes he loves so much ...

But that means I have to wait for him to get home from school before I can start...

 

[timciren]

the loop went in pretty easy for a first timer, but a couple of things I need to sort ;

the pipe work is kind of saggy. Will some anti coil keep it in position ?

the writing on the cpu block is upside down, not sure what to do about that ?

but i am very happy with the match of the xspc front and the blu ray player

I didnt want to have to try to match the brushed aluminium with the dvd door.

its time to fire it up and test it now...

 

[timciren]

2 schoolboy errors ;

I followed the rampage manual order of installation, but you cant fit the bluetooth when the mobo is in the case, grr

I forgot the 6gb sata ssd cant go in the hotswap bay... guess I can remove a backplane

but first post works apart from sata

 

[timciren]

just waiting for some braided cables and stage 1 is complete,
ordered another 360 rad for the base, it will be interesting to see how that goes.
I am hoping it will mean I can remove the 3 corsair stock 140mm fans.
very happy with the Rampage mobo~ oc via a netbook

I will have few days to enjoy it before fitting another loop

good luck with that, you have to have them all the same orientation and res...
