Looking really good,Subbed!

Subbed

What rads are they?

Also;

location: Aberdeenshire, Scotland

I thought you could run anything passively in the winter up there

Jokester · 13 Nov 2011 at 22:27

My other case is fully passive

They're HWL SR1s.

Had a major reroute today as I found the res was clashing with the GPU, looks tidier though.

By passive, I mean no coolers at all

3 SR1's

Nothing needs that! ( well, nothing apart from fermi SLI

)

Going to take forever to fill :/

Edit: Going to run out of water at this rate!

Jokester · 15 Nov 2011 at 18:06

Got one big leak,going to run it for few hours though to see if there is anymore drips.

ot so sure on the case bottom rad pluming or a single D5. I have the 560 SR1 and it does take a lot to move water around!

what case is that?

An expensive one.

It's a little devil.

It's a Little Devil PC-V8, my only complaint so far is the sheer number of screws that need to be undone to get the panels off, must be the best part of a dozen per panel (4 panels). I'm impressed with the build quality though and the finish is excellent.

All three rads are in parallel so the restriction will be greatly reduced. A single D5 will handle it no problem.

Had a compression fitting fail, couldn't have made it up right. So when I get home tonight I'll buy some more water and retune that one bit.

As a proponent of silly numbers of radiators in a build I salute you s'ah

How much length does the suspended d5 add? I assume that's your mod for completely isolating the noise!!!

You don't need much at all, that's enough there to stop any vibration being transmitted any further and the pump itself is next to silent.

Lesson learned, the EK mounting kit for their res' is useless.

PSU extender, with dual Seasonic 450W passive PSUs.

And connected up.

Now running Prime to see how different temperatures are compared to my passive set up. Currently looking like 15C better temps.

Cleeecooo · 19 Nov 2011 at 18:04

EK make useless res holders whitch don't tighten at all :mad:

If the motherboard wasn't there, it could look like a house missing some walls with all that plumbing.

Tell me about it, the screws are too small for the hole :confused:

Haven't been able to hook up the Tbalancer yet as I don't have the right USB cable to fit it, once I've done that I'll then be able to check flowrates and so on.

Cleeecooo · 19 Nov 2011 at 18:07

I spent 40 mins trying to tighten it. It dimly wouldn't go further

What's a tbalancer?

Jokester · 19 Nov 2011 at 18:09

It's a programmable fan controller, I'm going to connect all the fans to it, the temperature sensors and the flow meter amp and I'll configure it so that when there's no load it'll be quiet and if the water heats up to much it'll ramp the fan speed up.
