PROJECT: MAGNUS AQUA DOMUS!

Probably the nicest radiator I've ever owned. Hwlabs or nothing from now on :D

Yea stunning rad the SR1. I probably could have made my one fit at the bottom of my cosmos but went for 2 240s instead :(

Still have it here from an old build with the Zalman Zmachine. Had to mount it to the back of the case unfortunately! Can't part with it now :D

I couldn't be bothered doing anything to it last night, I was in work until 7 :(

Tonight though, it's happening as I need to get some benches done for ltmatt and get this new memory tested.

@Acme, the gt stealth I sold you has a gloss finish unlike the Sr1 which has a matt almost rubber texture too it. Both a very nice though, completely sold on buying hwlabs radiator now.

According to the box an Sr1 360 can handle over 1300w of heat!!

Very bad pic of it :/

Anyway where are the pics of the finished build ? you said tonight! :D

Is there a picture album or thread for that build somewhere Tayto? :)
 
There was a build log somewhere but it's long gone, if i can find some of the old pics i'll post them in a separate thread later :) It was rude of me to post that pic in pgi947 build log and i don't want to derail his thread :(


Pgi947 what kind of led strip do i see at the botom of the case there? Hope to see some finished pics this weekend :)

I found some pics via the magical google :eek:

And +1 for hoping to see the pics pgi947 :D
 
Just home - long stressful day but I have enough time to do some rad fitting tonight!!

The LED strip is a Phobya FlexLight (white). It came with some double sided tape, that was, well, ****. The natural coil of the strip just pulls it away from the tape, I'll make some better mounting of it over the weekend ;)

I may even move it depending how well it illuminates things.

I don't mind about the pics mate, its in spoiler tags, plus I didn't know Zalman made a nice case!! :)

Alright mate get cracking :) i'm off to work for my last night shift i expect pics when i return :p
 
Got the bleed done nice and easy, I need to grab some more bolts at work tomorrow to straighten things up though.

I also managed to not plug in the molex to ICY BOX, so no OS for now, but it powers up just fine - thankfully. I'll sort the molex tomorrow, its just a wiring nightmare around that area of the case.

With the res about 2/3 full I'm using 2L, not sure if I want to open a fresh bottle to fill it up though.

Hopefully be finished for the most part today, need to work out a kink - literally and get power to the drives then finally install the new memory.

I need to secure the res a little better too, its end heavy at the bottom.
 
Is that the SR1 at the bottom there?
If so, wouldn't it be better to have the fans on the other side?
I realise with the amount of rad space you have it wont really make a difference, but doesn't it have a larger gap between the fans and fins creating a sort of mini shroud?
 
I will be moving the fans to the other side as soon as I get some longer bolts.

It must be a HWlabs thing to only send you 30mm & 5mm screws, as with the 280 I dropped out of the loop, the long bolts weren't quite long enough to go through the rad stand, fan then into the rad. Fairly sure I have a bag of M4x35 cap screws at work (which I should have grabbed before I finished today - bugger).
