Sorry if this has been explained before, but what have you used to mount the rad in the drive bay ?

And I take it thats a 120mm radiator ?

ironman · 22 Aug 2003 at 20:25

Its mounted with screws. 120mm yes.

Ill let the pictures do the talking :cool:

Only 3 things left to chrome, will pick that up about Tuesday.

I will however get a crack on the rest, hopefully start putting the parts in.

Gurdas mate, that is absolutely fantastic, I am absolutely amazed that it has turned out so well, so you must be ecstatic to say the least.

:cool:

I am very jealous, and as I say, watch when you leave the house from now on!

Not fair on the rest of us mere mortals!

P.S. Absolutely outstanding Gurdas!

Very bad planning. My idea was to have the radiator in the 2nd but the barbs get in the way of the aquadrive. So moving the aquadrive will not make a difference. What i need to do is move the radiator. Ive mounted it in the front bottom for the time being. I was thinking of getting a bigger radiator anyway, looks like this is more of a reason to do it.

Small case + lots of watercooling = bad combination

Yep thats where it is now. The radiator is in a different location (temporary location) if you like. Until I get a 3x 120mm radiator which will be mounted on the outside side panel

ironman · 23 Aug 2003 at 22:41

The tubing is DangerDen Clearflex.

Its a very complex loop but theoritcally it should work fine. NB and HDD blocks are on their own loops so they dont affect the flow rate that much.

Side view.

Close up of my Original White Water #92 and DD Zchip NB block

Reverse side, hidden tubing going from the aquatube to the radiator in its new temporary position.(excuse finger prints

)

The joys of changing waterblock without removing motherboard.

Heres the money shot.

:eek:

Gurdas, that is THE TRUE BLING BLING, nice one

Why not polish the top side of the WW block (not the base of course) and make it all shiney, then coat it with suitable lacquer protection type agent so the top side keeps its shine and doesn't oxidise

Good idea, but I really cannot be bothered now

Maybe when I come to replacing the block I will get it looking like new.
