So im going watercooling again and I thought I would make a log of how everything goes, with lots and lots of pics inc my very special case thats in the works. :)

Any way onto business.

Res - 2 * Swiftech MCRES-Micro

The bottom of the res have been modded so the out let of the res is at the bottom. Can then put the pumps directly below the res, makes everything a lot easier.


Coolant - Feser One (Yellow & Purple)


SS100266a.jpg




Case - Lian Li PC7²


Some latest pics of the case...

Custom *competitor* PA120.2 backplate goodness. :)

Second rad will go in the top panel of case.


Right case for PC and left for watercooling etc.


Cases are attached together using some metal spacers so that both front panels can still fit on.




Thats all for now folks.

Looks nice, can I ask why you're using a 680i board with an ATi card, surely you'd be better off with the increased overclocking/performance from using an Intel chipset as you're not going to SLi?

Got the motherboard waterblocks for mucho cheapness. Plus 3.6Ghz is enough for me. :)
 
Woah, thats a lot of pictures! :p

With that much space I'd be tempted to try and find some stupidly large resovoirs. I hope you're gonna put a nice window on the side to show it all off!

PK!

Couple of EK 150 res's will be used. Just trying to find an ideal position for them at the moment.

There will be a nice square window.
 
Pity to leave what will probably be the loudest of the components on air. Will you be going for WCing the 3870X2 once a waterblock for it is out?

Its quiet to me. :p


I may do but the EK block costs £83 at the moment and im not paying that much. Plus I change graphics card way to often.

Though I may if something happens. ;)
 
A few changes...

Going for a PA120.3 (bottom) and a PA120.2 (top) and getting two Swiftech MCRES as it will be easy to find a decent a place them.

Sorry for the very late update but I sort of broke my knee playing basketball and my right leg is in plaster from groin to ankle. :(


Hopefully have the case next week. Only problem is though i left a pump and coolant in my uni room but thats no problem really.

Another thing is that im no longer going with the 680i board with watercooling mobo as me and Colossous (dont think he is on here but some of you may know him form other places) have been dealing again. ;)


Will update as soon as any other news comes in.
