Parvum S2.0 crossfire

Tonight's efforts

My awesome soldering skills went to good use!
The strips are just fixed on temporary for now until I am happy with how it looks as I know the rads will block some of the light when they go in. Protective film is also still on the window.

Pretty happy with how they turned out. May have to down volt them a little :p
 
Great lighting!

If you lap the IHS on your 3770k, you can really take advantage of the Supremacy block and CLU for a nice temp dip. (Do eeeet n take pictuuuures!)

What radiators are you using?

Will be following this eagerly!
 
This is looking really good :)

Thanks :D

I'm planning on running it naked at least initially to see what temps I get
Not sure if I will stay like that long term though
Lapping the IHS isn certainly the next best thing! :p

I have not quite decided on the radiators just yet
That's what is holding up the build currently
I think I am going for two 120mm rads in the front to give me space for the fan controller in the top
There isn't a great selection of rads which are actually 120mm wide though so finding two I can actually mount side by side is difficult
Then I will probably go for a HW Labs GT Stealth in the top

Planning on adding I'm some panel mount QDCs for an external AX480 too
 
Had a play with my braiding today
I've got for the heatshrinkless paracord method based on Lutr0s method
Just had my play on a 6 pin extension I had lying around and I'm really impressed with the results
I have used MDPC-x before and this is far better. Much easier and looks so much nicer

looks good, i was looking for paracord before i done my first attempt at braiding MDPC, but couldnt find anything i liked, where did you get yours from and what size to get. :(
 
Got mine from a site called WildElk and it's just the standard 550 paracord
Pretty sure it's all the same and they have it in hundreds of different colours/patterns
Really impressed with it. Completely opaque so you could get away with any colours wire unlike MDPC braid
I'm using it on 18AWG cable which is relatively thin and there is no slack in
There is also enough give in the cord for thicker cable
 
Finally ordered the rads!
I've gone for a HW Labs GT Stealth XFlow in the top and two HW Labs GTX-Lite 120s for the front

I think this will give the the cleanest look
I'll install them tomorrow and get some more pictures uploaded!
 
Got the rads installed!:D
Screws in the top are too long and screws in the front are not long enough so i'll have to get these sorted this weekend

CPU and GPU blocks on

Now I'm just considering the pipework. Acrylic in this could be tough

How's things coming along tubing wise? Have you planned out the route yet? :)

I have an idea in my head but initially I am swapping the x flow rad for the standard version
I'll get some more updated on this soon


lookin good, subbed

Thanks! Much appreciated

I'd be interested to know how you get on with temps here. Since you only have 2x240mm RADs, I would think the temps would be a little warm.

Your not alone on this too :p
I've not water cooled before so I don't know what to expect
I intend on adding support for an external rad too which should alleviate the issues when necessary
 
Ok so the watercooling is on hold until next week when I can afford to buy the remaining parts :p

In the mean time though, slightly less exciting but just as important...

Cabling!
First off is to sort out the fans and the horrible mix or colours!

Stickers gone. Much better :)

Erghh.... Non removable fan blades meant I had to make some minor modifications...
Long black cables soldered on and surprisingly working!
This will also reduce the number of cables and joints I need so these will be wired directly into the fan controller

And the paracord on and in the case.
I'll change this cord for red and get some P-clips on there when they turn up from china

I'll be getting in touch with the guys at Parvum for some custom work over the next few days too. Something for them to look forward to :p
