my first watercooled build i7 4ghz

anyone else out there think it would be better looking the way i drawed it out,should i turn the fans at top into exhaust fans rather than blowing into case,really need some feed back before i continue?

or put the rad back at top i just want to make it look its best and also tidy as possiable?
 
rite just an update all things are going to plan,i have on order my fan case mod gotta wait 7days for that to turn up so here's a few little pics of my fan test

here's the mod im having done

behind that i will have my hardrives which will be upright and hidden.

the build is nearly completed now and i guess there be something else i can add to it lol,but thats it the build i will show of all its glory in 7days,

knowing me i sell the build and start again lol

here's a couple of pics so far with fans running.

Hi mate,

I was wondering if it was at all difficult fitting the block onto your GPU?

Is your pump 10w or 18w??

Also, with the HK 3, wasn't it possible having it mounted round the opposite way, you know, rotated 90 degrees clockwise?

I'm going to be starting my loop very soon, but I haven't done anything like this before so I want to find out as much as possible before I start.

Things are looking good btw, what happened with those mobo tray cuts?

Were they in the tray originally, or did you have someone do them for you, I figure they were in the tray from the factory, and this is the reason that they didn't line up with your mobo in the first place.. shame you had to hack them open the way you have, as they looked really neat and tidy before..
 
the block was easy to fit

the pump is 10w

you cannot put the hk3 round the other way do to the hk3 plate touching the cap

the orginal holes for cables dont match my mobo for some reason so had to cut them,i think there ok how they are done to be honest,it will soon be covered in my next mod which im working on

What are you planning on doing with the plexi?

Or are you keeping that hush hush until you get it done??!

I really like your build I must say, it was after seeing your setup in your HAF932 that inspired me to go ahead and setup my own custom loop, so thanks a lot for that mate!! :)

I've almost got everything that I need now, so I should be starting my loop in the next two weeks, I can't wait! :D
 
well im keeping that one a bit quite lol,still in talks regarding this idea and so far if it works will be a first ever mod done(well i hope,not seen it anywhere!!)

yes the haf was the start of it all and its just gone into overdrive at minute,then i get the urge to sell it and do it all again,keep coming back should be more pics soon.
 
hey mate just wanted 2 ask few questions as i am starting my first watercooling project also:

opinions on thermochill pa120.3 and XSPC 5.25" reservoir bay?
also which cpu block do u think: EK supreme LT or Heatkiller Rev. 3.0

i'm fitting this in a HAF 932 also, to a 5850 and i7 920, what size fittings would u recommend? and finally, barb vs. compression?
 
Man, stop spamming the boards. This is getting ridiculous. Keep it in your thread. Loads of xspc ones have the pump in the reservoir, how have you not noticed any of them? And yes, they're not as good as the laing ones.

hey mate, how did u manage to get rid of the air in the system? and how do u know when it's out? what kind of volume do u get?
Click to expand...

you have to pulse the pump every so often till the loop is filled,then if you have air still in loop tilt the case towards you whilst running the pump,it should cleat very quickly,how do you know when its all gone,sometimes its guess work but if your temps are really high that could be the reason there's air trapped in the rad,but if you keep tipping the case forward you will see bubbles poping around,if so repeat process.
