Watercooled Case Gallery

[topgun06]

I did a refresh of my loop over the weekend:

Fresh tubing
New fittings
Relocated the reservoir
Installed an EX pump top on my D5 and property bolted it to the case

When I took my radiator out of cleaning I found that it was actually leaking. It was an XSPX EX240 and I had been using it for around 3 years. I was quite surprised and disappointed. The paint had come away slightly at both ends of the radiator revealing the metal beneath. Both areas looked damp. And after wiping dry they would soon become wet again when I swished water around the radiator.

I had to make an emergency visit to OCers for a replacement.

Its an awesome case!
I have a 360 and 240 in mine
Dont need the drive bays as I only have an SSD drive in it.
That pump mont, is it screwed into the base of the case?
Was looking for one but didnt want to pay for the EK combo things.
Also, do you mind measuring it?
Have a fan mounted at the bottom aswell as having the 240 in push pull, so dont have much room for it.

the mount is a big lump of alloy machined out and has rubber vibration grommets which is then literally velcroed down to where the bottom 120mm case fan fits.

heres a link to it http://www.h20watercoolinguk.co.uk/p/Laing-DDC-4-Point-Anti-Vibration-Damping-Kit_505.html

just get rid of the h20 bit in link

Ah I see, Would like to keep the fan for possitive pressure

That is a stunning build!! I am a fan of using straight acrylic cuts, but the cost of those bitspower fittings must have been a pretty penny . Are they the new compression multi links? I am in the process of getting bits together for my acrylic build and will be using straight acrylic using just the normal bitspower multi links.

How did you chamfer the edges, did you just use a bit of wet and dry?

Yea cost a lot in fittings.


To chamfer the edges, got one of these: http://www.gasproducts.co.uk/acatal..._Reamer.html?gclid=CLOhieGIhMICFcTnwgod1x8A9w

Here's a picture of my rig updated with my Strix 970. It's connected via a riser.

Nice - how are the cables connected to the back of the card?


Kendai - YES! Nothing but right angles is beautiful!

What do you mean? Like the PCI slots? There's about a 1 - 1 1/2 inch gap between the card and the mobo.

If you mean the display ports I just had to modify the pci brackets on the case a little. That's why there is that black plexi shroud on the left, to cover up the nasties.

A lot of stunning build sin here.
So here is my build. I am not really happy with it , still got loads to do, cables to sort. I will be wcing a graphics card when I buy a new one, but cannot decide to do wait until the next batch is out or just buy a NVidia 980 ect. it is to exspansive to get a block for my 780ti. I am also not sure the fluid is going around correct through the cpu block.

Can I ask how your flow is? I hugely admire the attention to detail and the skill in building a beautiful rig, but as someone who's been doing this since the earliest days (check the OP on this thread) it goes against one of the fundamental rules of shortest possible straight runs and minimum restriction. Please don't take this the wrong way! I'm just interested in whether the modern fittings and better pumps have really overcome the inherent restriction, not criticising.

Mine

Waiting for my Laing D5's to get and few other bit and bobs then I can tidy it all up.

 

[Cerelia]

My lil rig~

And then the messy part:

Still have to braid those cables, wish i'd have used Monsoons white fittings with a white uv fluid now but oh well, what can you do. Would cost around £90 to replace the angle fittings in the build.
Only other thing besides that is a little acrilic cover to go over the Psu but even then its not a huge thing.

Current layout! Currently downgrading and moving to something smaller and less powerful though.

great build! I absolutely love it. I wish OCUK had bitspower blocks for sale.
also if you're selling your rig, dibs on the light bar kits haha
