O yer and a Koolance HX -240XC copper rad hanging out of my window as i reckon sucking colder air over it beats Ambient anyday :)

excuse the red pipe on the cpu , ocuk had run out of clear this week :(

Has anybody ever turned their case upside down? haha i only ask as i cant access the front of mine and the wires look nasty hanging out the back, we need a case were the open side is on the other side to normal? I mean who looks at the front of there case these days, its the window that needs to be at the front yeh?

So next phase is either turn the case upside down so the front is on the left or do something more drastic and chop the front off and turn it 90o so i can see the side and the front at same time, hmmmm weres my hacksaw ( no dremel yet)

BTW the red lcd has been replaced and is now reading 36oC and not what looked like 46 , so water going into my "out of the window" res is 40oC and its 36oC in the res

Nice build what temps are u getting on your cpu and 780s?
Click to expand...

ok according to Core temp cpu is running @70c @4.4mhz and water loop temp is 34.8c, ambient in room 26.7c and outside its 21c
this is fully loaded 100% on both gpu and cpu
This will cool down more overnight , ill post temps when i get home at 3AM :eek:
Let me run heaven to get real world gpu temps, 1 always runs 2o hotter then the other


edit: well its 2.30 am and same load but water temp down to 31c ambient in room 25c and outside 14c so my idea of putting rad in window is working it seems

Its interesting to see the temps of those hybrid cooled graphics cards over a full waterblock. I have 2 780's in my build but i have the XSPC block on both and the difference in temps is dramatic. That could be down to you only having the 1 rad to cool CPU + Motherboard + 2 780's! Do you plan on adding more rads to the build?

You think my temps are high?

Next step is dunk rad in a container of water with a cold water tap supply in and out and see how that goes :) cant wait to test it . Quietness is the plan
I probably will get a separate loop for the gpu`s when funds allow and i get the buzzing pump i got rma`d back and have 2 , also going to reverse atx the case and sort the water pipes, never ending ideas lol

I got no Folding@home wu`s atm, turned climateprediction off and water temps are 25oC @Idle

A bit of a major change around, now in reverse atx with a new pump/res now much quieter..

I had some fun playing with it in the kitchen as well !! will post a video showing the results later :D

Next plans are to move the bays out from the front and make room for a 480 rad and fans... maybe , might just take it all out and sort the case properly first if time allows

Hope to change it to 2 loops as well soon, different colors maybe? or go acrylic? hmmm

woops that was spose to be an edit not a quote lol

Ok Major changes.. maybe i should start a new log ..but its all the same parts as before so here goes,

DAY1 basic idea get it on the wall and work out the best layout and what else i can do with all that space i got..

Any ideas guys?

[URL=https://imageshack.com/i/nbgxkbj][/URL]

the front.. a blank canvas


the back. yes i can swing it round and get to the back as its got a hinge :)


And whats to be done .. needs holes cut to hide the cables and redo the loop etc etc. i was eager to get it back up and running

The rad is still in the window blowing the hot air outside so the only noise its making running at full tilt is the gentle hum of the pump/res

I used my HAF X as a doner for the parts btw.

I really like wall mounted PCs but they're quite hard to achieve.
are you going to paint that bit of plywood at all? (I hope so)
also I really like what some people have done with some pcie raisers for their GPUs. it looks better and takes up more space on the wall
Click to expand...

Yes of course i will cover the wood :) , at the end when ive finished making holes , nice bit of vinyl i expect

And yes im thinking about mounting the gpu`s but its not easy mounting them in sli, unless u can buy longer cables? i do have a lot of space to fill but theres room for another pc on there! but that would be many months away

Im saving up for more parts now, i fancy a chiller to get the temps down to about ambient so no risk of condensation , will probally go in the loft which is only 2ft above the pc, the pump should handle that or ill just add a more powerful pump in the loop, need a way to control the temps remote tho as it will be a pain keep going up there lol, i have an idea , will see if it works when i get it

I need a theme tho, as this is just slung up there (so i could have a working pc) thinking maybe just keep it all red/black/chrome or what ?
Lots of lights etc needed also , bling baby

Really nice build, how far are you with the current build, are you finish with the wood work, also how many hours has it taken you to complete this project, or going to take? Look forward to seeing the finish project.
Click to expand...

Half way done, lots to do and parts to add as i go, the wood will be covered last as im still making holes and can cover up any mistakes at the end lol , a few more months i think before its done but its a working pc so theres no rush.

On the right is now my x99 system, 5960x, 16gig dom plats, 512 samsung m.2 ,

Added a titan x , water cooled of course

[url=http://imgur.com/KE7VqRG] KE7VqRG.jpg [/URL]

now got my 780s installed as well as TX

1 thing is wierd, im getting a lot of air in the outlet from the cpu block, dont seem a problem, the air goes into the rad after a while in a big bubble and more return, the coolent level in 1 of the pumps goes UP as the rad fills with air but after a tilt and shake of it the big air bubble comes out and into the pump/res and the level goes down again, NO leakage anywere, just air after the cpu, v strange
