Water cooled setup

[Detale]

Good point. I think the 2nd pump increases the head pressure and flowrate. I may start later today constructing the loop in this fashion

Res>1stpump>CPU>Ram>320rad>2ndpump>GPU>120rad>Res

Now I won't have my Rad block for about another 2-3 weeks or so but I think for now I'm just going to throw a temp piece in there ( maybe an old NB/SB block) just so I can get going with this thing already.

What's a "rad block"?

[Detale]

it's something an idiot types because his kids are jumping all over him

Ram Block

You're going to watercool the edge of the memory sticks?

I am simultaneously repulsed and intrigued.

Mostly repulsed.

Sorry I should have explained. These are made specifically for Dominator ram. You remove the top fins from the ram and screw this down in its place across whatever sticks you may have. In my case there are 4 sticks of 2 GB each. It uses the aluminum stock sink in conjunction with this. Thinking of it now I will probably have to use thermal paste between the two right? found a pic of it...

OK so here is where I'm at now.
I flipped the top360 rad and mounted the 120 to it.



I did use some black tubing to try and hide it in the shadows a bot



This is what I came up with for using both pumps in tandem







Here's a shot of my new Apogee GTZ 1156 mounting plate in white




My OCZ SSD's





I still have to change the hoses on the Vid card and some other things, more to come soon

The white is interesting, almost pretty.
The contrast is striking.

What is holding the levitating pump?

[Detale]

Thanks so much man, that means alot coming from you. Well when I first started a really nice guy had told me to "hang the pump to reduce vibration and noise" so the top pump is hanging from the res and I added a piece of round aluminum to keep the arch the way I needed it to be so the pump would stay somewhat level.


The bottom pump is levitating too but I just cut a piece of petras gel stuff about 1/4" X 1" and stuck it towards the back of the pump, you cant see it but it does keep it elevated slightly and lets the fan cool it off a touch as well

I do have a small update:
I redid the tubes on the Gpu cooler and changed them to white and I think this will be the final tube routing.



The white look even better in person bud

After what feels like a year of waiting I FINALLY got my Mips ram cooler. I have to sy the thing is bad ass! I know that it's not necessary to water cool the ram, but for the bling effect this works perfectly. Here she is.


I couldn't wait to throw some compression fittings on her



Here's the rig ready for a 24 hour leak test




Here's a shot of the lighting converterless of course



I installed a tiny switch for the lights through one of the holes under the I/O panel and that worked out well



I was concerned about the xigmatek fans looking odd when replacing my custom painted ones, but after seeing them I love em.


This is exactly how they look, not a camera blur


My SSD's will look like this once I finish their mount



Another LED I added for my babies

It looks like a fancy device for Pasteurizing milk, D.

But, then, what do I know.
