Ive ordered 2 x 120mm ones as they look so good, akasa ambers are good but just look naff compared to fans like that. I bet its almost silent that setup.

I've had a couple of Akasa Ambers, 120mm and 92mm, and these Aerocool fans push just as much air but are a lot quieter

My setup will be silent as soon as I get a new PSU

What were your thoughts on the Yeong Yang Cube Server case - also how did you mess it up??

regards,

Matt

The case itself is great, and having the HDD's seperated from the mobo is a nice idea but...

I was using a much too complicated setup with a passive reservoir, 3 rads and 2 blocks, as well as far too much tubing. I've found the pics, so have a look and see for yourself. Always wanted to fit a 2x120mm rad in it, but just couldn't find the space

T00thBru5h,

nice rig but correct me if I'm wrong but is your flow:

pump > rad > Res > CPU > GPU > pump?

I think that's right, not too sure what's the best route, but the temperature difference between them all is minimal

Err...then your water is going to the TDX outlet. I would change it as it is not meant to be set up like that.

T00thBru5h · 6 Feb 2006 at 12:50

Damn, it's been running fine for over 24hrs and loads of BF2

But I have noticed the CPU temp is a bit higher. Well spotted, I'll change it in.... 6 months or so

nice aesthetics anyway toothbrush. i am sooooo tempted to go down the water cooling route. just need to make sure i've got enough money for my car insurance first!

Yep, you're getting a pressure drop in the res, and the TDX blocks' main performance feature is useless in current piping order...

Pump > Rad > CPU > GPU > Res > Pump

Provide pump with a body of water directly before it's inlet as it doesn't suck - it's gravity fed... this reduces strain on the pump and can also reduce pump noise. Pump > Rad > CPU means cpu gets good high pressure, perfect with the TDX's nozzle system, without heatdump of pump being incorporated into things (at the moment, pump heatdump will be passed to large body of water in res, altho effect is minimal, it still results in increased temp thruout system...)

In theory, changing it to the above should result in a fairly significant temp drop at the CPU... (5 deg +)

Mega thread bump but I've just realised I never changed the above inlet/outlet problem and the same set-up is still running over 5 years later :eek:

Bugger, must top it up one day as well

Lol, bit of an understatement no?

Anyway, so long as it still works

That's some serious thread necro going on there. I actually remember this from when it was built up.

Imagine. A case you actually had to cut to water-cool!

Looks nice , surely you can push the overclock past 4.5Ghz running a decent watercooled system like that', 3.6Ghz seems a tat low to me

You do realise that's a P4 S775 system? From several years ago? 3.6GHz was a good overclock on that CPU.
