Why have one wc loop when you can have THREE?

This is my latest project the next step in this EPIC case build!
First up

TWO PSU's

OCZ Z series 1k watt PSU (system 1)
Tagan 800 watt BZ Piperock (system 2)

Dont complain about the wire management as in Mountain Mods cases there IS no wire managment AT ALL!

sTILL SOME VERY SMALL MICRO air bubbles there as you can see but they will dissapate over the next few days.

three pumps for three loops which means i have three seperate rads in this case.

notice my gtx480 is slightly bent here! IT is not how the block is mounted but the weight of the block itself. As when it is outside of the case the card is flat..... can anyone point me where i can purchase a video card support bracket?

dont worry thats not leakage withthe green on the board that is the green led fans and the glowing fluid reflecting into the board


2ND MOTHERBOARD inside this case gigabyte x58 UD7

EVEN THE ssd drive matches the colour scheme of the system

computer specifications

Mountain Mods ascension Duality Crystal ship (grrrrr might sound posh but there are STILL no wire management facilities)
CORE IC 920 OCED to 4.419
XSPC BLACK RASA CPU BLOCK
thermochill pa140.3(loop one=cpu)

Loop 2
DFI X58 T3EH8 UT
XSPC full cover DFI block (chipset)
Black ice SR1 280MM (loop 2 for chipset)

Loop3

Gainward GTX480
XSPC GTX480 water block (single slot design)
THERMOCHILL PA 120.3 (LOOP THREE)

PLANNED TWO EXTRA LOOPS FOR THIS CASE

LOOP4 AND LOOP 5 FOR 2ND motherboard

Swap Loop two the 280mm sr1 and use a sr1 140mm to cool motherboard 1 chipset (this is more than fine) and use 280mm to cool 2nd gtx480 when available. Thus making four loops so far

Loop 5 (custom side panel to mmount this PA 120.3 rad to cool 2nd 920 and 2x gtx460's on same loop

Loop 6 SECOND 140mm fan hole atthe top will also have a 140mm rad to cool chipset on 2ND board

change ALL barbs everywhere for the compression type!

Sponsors still available to finish this build!

still one cpu to purchase ram, ssd and 2 gtx460 video cards

lol bud yeah im what you could call a hardcore enthusiast...... thing is those three loops are just for ONE of the boards. there is still one more loop to in for this section, then another two loops need to be installed for motherboard two

why do you need 2 mobo's? is that basically then 2 rigs in 1 box?

What would you have 2 rigs doing? Can they "talk" to each other or is it simply just 2 pc's in a box?

talk? as in as in a peer t o peer nw yes but thats it. it is two rigs in one box.

I built it for two reasons

a challenge

b: to have one OVERCLOCKED pc for benching and clocking hence four loops on that one and the other computer for gaming (two water cooling loops)

hope this helps
 
Does that include giving us components to do a build? :rolleyes: ;) :p

actually as you may have guessed I own a review site. I have been known to either give stuff away or bundle lots of free stuff with components i sell (my old stuff) or bring in manufacturers in order to help out ocuk and its readers.. Gibbo and AM knows the score.

So you never know

kindest regards

no worries i got a ton of stuff believe me, as i bought over-clock 's stock of wc bits

i got case wc bits, motherboards allsorts mate. you not that far from me, im in south leeds morley so if you can ever make it around to my gaff you can have afew stuff for free.
