Swiftech kit.

Radbox on the back 120mm exhaust mounting with the MCR120 radiator
MCRES-1000 pump/res combo in 5.25 bay

Exact case you're asking about.


P.S. The QTEC PSU was in there very temporarily and has been replaced. No flaming please.
 
Thank you ever so much that is exactly what i was looking for some pics and information. :)

Does that kit come with everything you need or did you need to get anyother items, if so what where they?

You're not fooling anybody you know :p

I have one of those cases and they come supplied with a perfectly acceptable Antec 400W Smartpower PSU.

You've replaced it with a QTEC :eek:

The Smartpower (twice) came DOA so OCUK kindly gave me a Tagan as a replacement. Now can we move on?!

The kit was a basic Swiftech kit and yes, it came with everything I needed. In fact it came with more than I needed as I didn't use the PCI pass-thru thingy and I used my own fan.

Look around, I know of at least one place that sells Radboxes by themselves but they're not cheap.

MikeTimbers what temps are you getting with that set-up?
Click to expand...

OK. Rig is:

DFI NF3 Ultra-D, replaced NF3 stock heatsink with Zalman and using a Zalman PCI bracket to hold a 120mm fan at 7v cooling the NF3 and a Panaflo L1A 80mm cooling the PWMIC and socket surrounds.
CPU is Opteron 146 @ 2766 and 1.6v
GPU is 5600XT at stock with stock cooling.
HD is Maxtor Proline SATA (with sneaky Swiftech MC462 heatsink sitting on it)

Case has original exhaust 120mm mounted on the front. No exhaust fan as such. Tagan PSU pushing almost no air.

CPU is currently at 42C full load for the last seven hours straight (folding), ambient room temp is 23C.

Thanks m8.
Are you happy with its performance ect?

Water-coolers are never "happy"! Nor do they ever "finish" a rig; it is a work in progress.

Am I happy? No, not really. I'd like to try putting in my WhiteWater instead of the 6000 but the barbs are the wrong size and I can't get 1/2" OD tubing over a 1/2" OD barb not can I be arsed to change the barbs on my block. I'd like to build a subtle radbox that looks nothing like a radbox, maybe build it into an armchair or something, and use the heatercore and 172mm fan and my two 1250s in serial, maybe add my other rig into the same loop so both computers are on a single loop pplumbed into the same stealth radbox, then try to make it really quiet...

Does that answer your question?
