Big apologies for the delay in updating Project > Tight wad, forgot to order a back plate for my CPU Block. But also forgot the Boss and l are away on holiday the following weekend for 2 weeks, should have mentioned this sorry folks
Right down to the nitty gritty, just too remind you my components are –
Black Ice GT Stealth 360 Radiator.
Heatkiller CPU Waterblock Revision 3 (Socket LGA1366).
XSCP X2O 750 Dual 5.25” Bay Reservoir Pump.
XSCP Razor 5870 Full Cover VGA Water-Block.
Akasa AK-FN059 120mm Ultra Quiet Viper Cool Fan x3.
Masterkleer tubing, Fitting’s, PWM Fan Splitter Cable, Thermochill EC6 Coolent.
First of all l flushed the rad out to make sure it was clean inside, then took apart my 5870 and boy was l pleased l got a good tool kit as a gift, as it had the right screw driver for taking the small screw’s out of the 5870 which hold the casing on the GPU Card. But sod’s law you always get a very tight screw, but with a bit of patients got the little devil out.Followed the instructions, but used MX2 instead of the supplied Thermal Paste, and fitted the VGA Block on the GPU Broad. Next l removed my mobo and mounted the CPU Block again using MX2, and refitted the mobo. But also making sure my cables were tidy then mounted the 5870 onto the mobo.
Last of all l mounted the Radiator on the rear of the case, using a homemade shroud l made from an old 120mm fan. So as to give space for the bottom two fans. The Duel Res / Pump was placed in the bottom right of the case and held in place by four small wide L shaped brackets, with foam padding stuck on the inside to cushion the Res / Pump and so reduce noise + vibrations.
Now finally it was time to cut and fit the tubing and remembered a little advice l got was measure twice then cut but l also added 5mm, just to be on the safe side. The worst part was fitting the tubing to the radiator as l could not get a smooth bend so ordered two Anti-kink Coils to help the tubing get a smooth curve and reduce any kinks in the tubing. To help bleed the system of air l got a PSU Bridging Connector (24 Pin). So l could run the pump without having to connect the mobo to the power supply and just tilting the casing now and again to get rid of as much air as possible. All together the system took a 1: litre of Thermochill EC6, the Res / Pump took just over half a litre by its self.
After a little while l connected the mobo to the PSU and powered her up and noticed one tiny leek, tightened the fitting up a touch more. It’s like anything else you learn a lot off your first build, looking back most of its just common sense and just take your time. Two musts are 1. Tube Cutter’s, 2. PSU Bridging Connector (24) they make life a lot easier, as once you get the custom water bug you will not go back to Air Cooling, its money well spent.The fans are set to PWM in the Bios and even at 1700RPM, l can’t hear them at all and as l have mentioned before my PC is right next to me > WoW Silence.
That’s it for now, l will run P95 and do some tests at 3.8 / 4.0 / 4.2 and compare it to my H5O > Push: Viper Fan / Pull: Apache at those speeds. When l did the review of the Viper Fan –
