Well here they are....
Pic 1
Pic 2
Pic 3
More to come.....

Any comments welcome.... This is my first water cooled PC, so be easy.

EDIT:

Leak Testing

The Coolant

The fans.

These fans push 103 cfm at about 35dba. Quiet fans. Ill pick these over ANY fan.

EDIT 2:

I will be done in aout an hour.

FINALLY DONE:

CPU block.
CPU block.
I need a block for this.
Fans Installed
The loop..
The loop again.
1/2 of CPU block
Randomish?

AND THE FINAL PRODUCT!!!!

Id say fine so far. I too am looking to watercool my pc, and Ive never done it. What parts did you get? What reccomendations?

 

[RallyMaster]

and then you're going to tell us your non-overclocked idle temps. thanks, that helps a lot.

I think your cat knows more about spending money than you do.

 

[tylerdustin2008]

You need to learn to drop it DAMN!

I got the followning.

Swiftech MCR320-QP-K 120.3 rad.
Swiftech MCP-655 pump.
Swiftech Apogee GT CPU waterblock.
Masterkleer 7/16 ID tubing.
Swiftech MCRES-Micro reservoir.
Swiftech Hydrex coolant.
And a DD filport.

Ill get temps once its up and running.

 

[tylerdustin2008]

Got the pump in today, and i am leak testing. Will be done very soon.

 

[Jimmah]

Looks good! I like the internal/external setup, looks really nice

 

[tylerdustin2008]

LOL, i just saw yours. Ill have to admit that yours looks better. But i will get better temps......You know how it is. I am getting a couple more pics as I type.

Nah there isn't a better or worse. I realy like the read position you chose, uses up the otherwise piled with paper space the top of a tower has anyway

Temps should be fantastic with such a giant rad and good block, sure hope you break out the OC'ing later

 

[tylerdustin2008]

Well i can hit 3ghz on air with this chip. So with some better ram i know i can hit 4ghz. Because it only took me about 5 mins to hit 3ghz.

I think your camera date is a bit off...

 

[tylerdustin2008]

Yea i know...... But shes done and up and running.

 

[VinDSL]

Gross! :shocked:

VERY VERY nice job.

ummm.. i wouldnt hold your breath on 4.

Anyhow my Opty is gone. :[ Someone offered me more then i could possibly ask for on my opty. I think he wanted to dry LN run it quickly for a WR since it was doing 3.08ghz on near stock voltage 24/7 orthos.

I got my hands on a E6600. I went out and got a EVGA 680i

to my knowledge i think i got a hold of a pretty decient CPU. Im trying to low voltage push her at the moment.

At 1.4v she's doing 3.5 at 42-41 C respectively on load on orthos stable.


I think im gonna go for 3.6 at 1.45 or see how far she'll climb at 1.45V Your setup and mine could do 1.5V easily, however i dont like pushing my cpu voltage that high.


I think you should expect to see near my temps, maybe a tad bit higher since im on a higher class loop. But i cant wait to see your results.

Well, here's the thing...

It looks like you're trying to put 10 lb. of sh!t in a 5 lb. sack.

I have never understood this...

It's like, if a job requires gloves, I don't want any part of it, you know?

And, if a case is so small that it requires mounting components on the outside, I don't want any part of that either!

So, I guess I don't like it, but that's just me.

None of my business, I guess, but you asked, yes?

 

[tylerdustin2008]

Yes aigomorla i can probably hit that high. My e6300 with 1.325 volts did 3.0 on air. And the ram is 2x1gb on cosair pc-5400. So i think with some better ram i will be able to do a bit better.

And Vin i know what you mean, sry mine is ugly....

ahahaha vin's jealous because your on water and he's not.

Also vin's the only guy on this forum with a UFO thats not watercooled.


And i was hitting 3.1ghz on stock voltage. but she wont do 3.6ghz unless i push her past 1.4v :X


Also, heh my EVGA allows me to independatly clock my RAM and CPU. I dont need to relay on a crappy divider anymore

Don't take what I'm saying the wrong way!

Look, you did a great job, so far! It's just the case that sucks!

What I don't understand is going to all that time, trouble, and expense, and shoe-horning it into (and outside of) a case that's obviously too small for the task.

No big deal!

Looking into my crystal ball, I see a Mountain Mods U2-UFO in your future...

All in good time, my man!

If Intel would quit turning out concave C2D chips, I'd be there already...

 

[tylerdustin2008]

Nope, joining two of these cases together...... then a PA120.3 on the top.

 

[tylerdustin2008]

Oh ag... you need to edit your sig......

Heh!

That's the ironic part of all this, for me...

I own a Mountain Mods U2-UFO Opti 1203. My case is MADE for that radiator, hence the name (Opti 1203 = Optimized for a PA120.3 radiator). However, as 'aigomorla' said, I'm still running air-cooling, e.g. a Tuniq Tower 120.

So, in my (ahem) case, it's a waste of space -- but, in your case, it's a waste of time, yes?

I suppose, in my circumstance, I have more money than I have time -- and in your circumstance, you have more time than you have money.

But, that's just an educated guess...

 

[tylerdustin2008]

I have time... and some money.....ok you got me i am broke as ******. ..... LOL Just kidding i willing be bringing $350 for the next ahhhhh while. And i have no bills. So which ever case makes me happy i will get. But first is a damn 22" lcd to make my 8800 happy. Then a EK 8800 block..... Then just a bunch or randow shiot.

 

[tylerdustin2008]

Running orthos right now. I will run it all night and post a screen shot in the morning.
