Thermaltake Mozart tx watercooling build 56K A BIG NO NO

ok im watercooling my system in this case so here is a log of whats happening

the case came the box is massive..... thats a big double seater its sat on

thats what came with the case the cables are 1m ones ( i need some more longer sata cables now)

 

[Cupra]

the cooling potential for this case is amazing even though thermaltake are not known for the best cases ever this case is only 36cm from front to back and with it having the ability for 5 front and 5 rear 120mm fans there should be good airflow

thats the inside of the narrow side

that is the backplate off the mobo tray doesnt come off but with the back off its a lot roomier to get in there

Not the best pic in the world but you can see the mobo tray and the fans on this side

What rad(s) are you using paul_64l?

If you are using a 120.2 could I see it up against the back please. Can you fit two there?


Cheers

Azza

i got a pa120.2 in the back of there and another will fit althout you wil need to drill screw holes

and if you want another it will go in the top
the front could hold a 120.3 depending on the gpu

 

[Cupra]

ok ive moved all the thermaltake fans to the front (5 came witht he case)

this is so i can have all my yate loons at the back

also rinsed my new rad out as it had perspex bits in it (used feser 1 for a colour test to rinse it its now fitted

the length of the wires from the front panel means stealth routing them should be easy

 

[Cupra]

i love it a few people were saying get a mm case and i was fulling prepared to but i just had to give this a try whilst mm came in stock in the shop i was gonna get it from.. ocuk also had this at a great price.. this was going to just be an in between case but im defoo keeping it its an awsome case for the money u cant go wrong

the front panel is ally about 5mm thick

 

[Cupra]

ok starting to braid my yate loons to tidy it up a bit

taped up my barbs fitted them in my rad finger tight plus 1/2 a turn

fitted the fans to my rad al braided up

 

[Cupra]

ok the rad wont be a straight forward fit so some holes need drilling in the case the quickest way for me to do this was get the cardboard from the rad box and pin ***** some hols in and tape it on so here goes

i phoned my wife an hour before she got home to say the living room was in a little bit of a mess but id clean it up abit before she got home.... she walked in from work to meet this

i like that keyboard im sick of mine

 

[Cupra]

ok the holes are driled and the rad is in also the yate loons are all in

ok the pump is now fitted i drilled 2 holes to fit it above the hdd bays to keep the piping short

 

[Cupra]

Well his wife is still there.

Hes just out in the car.

no its the dog house lol

she was fine tbh i was well prepared for an argument ant she came in and said im not cooking tea lets have chinese bonus all round id say

 

[Cupra]

ive been buys today drilling the holes for the hdd's to turn them around. orderd the 1m sata cables so they should be here tomorrow morning

 

[Cupra]

so the wires face the fan so i can hide all the cables

 

[Cupra]

thats the hdd's in backwards

 

[Cupra]

water blocks are on

and board is in the case

sorry about bad pics

 

[Cupra]

(just watch that static! )

ok ok i take the hint 163 quid made me take it

 

[Cupra]

i want the screen and the little display with remote but they will be after some other bits... getting there now wit the basic setup

 

[Cupra]

ok all the pipes are cut and run my loops direction is

pump > cpu > nb > rad > res back to pump

 

[Cupra]

motherboard is out the system is filled and is running a 24 hour leak test

also my 4 uv cathodes are in but not wired up as i will do all the cables when the leaktest is finished.. i can now see a working pc coming from this.. about time

you will notice a plastic clip halfway along the pipe from the cpu > the nb blocks.. this is becuase i didnt want huge pipes so adding this to the centre of the bend stopped the pipe from kinking

 

[Cupra]

ok a few dark pics.... i still need to change all my fans to uc led fans but heres a look anyway

this is without flash on to cancel out uv

this is no flash so the uv is see able

 

[Cupra]

they are blue must be the camera or summot... they will all be uv when my new led's come

 

[Cupra]

well leak test is passed waiting for 1m sata cables and a 72cm floppy cable as that was the longest i could find.. with any luck they will be here tomorrow... also got some more braiding and heatshrink so doing the rest of the fans tonight

thanks for your comments
