Yet Another TJ07: Performance Passive

build16.jpg

Finished off all the tubing and I think I'm pretty much ready to start leak testing once I get some water.
 
well that photos just a teaser haha, we need more!! Tubing doesnt block the outputs from the graphics cards does it? Used to have a rad mounted on the back of my case and that made it a pain for me to get to my DVI output on my board :(
 
Took a long time looking at the tubing to work out what you've done here. I don't like the look of the common return line with water entering the T at different pressures, but I think I've convinced myself that this isn't actually a problem.

Have you managed to source softer tubing than the (I think 11/8mm?) tygon to isolate the pump? I've been looking for a while with no luck for the same purpose.

Inspirational thread, thank you for posting it.
 
Type of tubing doesn't really matter when it comes to damping the pumps, I've been mainly using some old Waterchill 10/8mm (it's slightly more than 10mm OD making using 10mm nuts tight) tubing but I've not been able to find a source for it. Outside the case I've used some cheapo 10/8mm PVC that kinks fairly easy.
 
Really interesting build Jokester!!

the newest batch we have in at ocuk has blue slots all over it

i think they probably just clock differently to how i am used to, they have the same revision number so there are no new features [to my knowledge]

These latest UD5's have a newer revision of the X58 chip, you should be able to see this in CPUZ under the motherboard tab.

The newer boards have Rev.13, whereas these boards have Rev.12.

looks good, i dont like the massive hole in the tj07 mobo tray now, put it behind the cpu for swapping coolers, but surely it doesnt need to be that long

The reason the hole is so large now, is for dual Xeon systems, so that you can gain access to the backplates for both CPU's.. I didn't like it when I first got my TJ07, but it just means you don't have to cut your own holes for the 24-pin power cable and CPU block backplate.

Looks great Jokester, coming along very nicely :)



Any Updates for your log, or are you still busy with work :( ?

Still away from it atm - sealed up one end in september and I'm going back for the weekend and can hopefully seal it up and test run the pump through it this weekend. Might take it back with me on the train if I'm feeling strong!

Anyhow, that's enough thread derailing. Jokester what's the performance like on it - looks like a cooling beast! :cool:

Does suspending the pump by the tubing make a massive difference in noise compared to sitting pumps on a sponge? May do the suspension thing myself...
 
Started filling it up today but the backplate bulkhead adapter is leaky as hell, so I've removed it and I'm gonna see if I can get it water tight.
 
Nah, the bits come with really crappy o-rings. Tried swapping them for some better ones, but there's no recess in the thread for them so they get all mashed up. Going to have use some PTFE tape on them.

Finally! Think I've got the back plate watertight at the threads. Only took PTFE tape, better o-rings, and then PTFE over the top of them to get it leakproof.
