My watercooled YY cube(pics)

Lost · 04-19-2002, 06:48 PM

Ok first off thank you to every1 who answered my posts in the past. This forum and the articles from procooling were a big help.

This case has been completed for a couple of months but I havent gotten around to uploading till now. Yes pic quailty suxs; but if I bought a digtial camera I wouldnt of been able to afford comp parts.

System specs: 1.8 P4 on Abit th7-II w/ 512mb of Rdram and Ati 8500 retail, DangerDen blocks, heater core w/ 2 120mm panaflos in push/pull config, 2 90mm exhast fans in front of case all conceted to fanbus, supreme 250 mag pump an extra male adp for future upgrades.

It runs great its near silent w/ fans on low

Painting took 2 weeks. yes this pics dont reflect my hard work but the paint job is amazing. Unfortunalty i'm fooling w/ the idea of a new case. Something w/ northbridge and HD cooling btr fan duct work, dual heater cores and a high pressure pump. All and all for mo power; the latter would be for my new system; I have to wait till fall for all the parts I want to be released ie R300, P4 w/ 533fsb, w/ SiS1066 rdram chipset

Nice job. Very nice.

well done, what can the 1.8 run at?

btw, I do think rambus is the best right now, but by the time sis gets their rambus out the door I think dual channel ddr will be the best

The fastest 'stable' speed Ive gotten 2348 @130fsb. I can play games and completle benchmarks at that speed. It has run over 2.4 but not that stable. Right now I leave it just over 2ghz @113fsb and my vid card at 290/290. With my fans on high Im almost at ambient temp; but for the most part I keep them on low and Im plus 5-10 degrees ambient.

Well for my next mobo I want apg 8, usb 2, and 533fsb. I also want a northbridge were I can attach a waterblock.

As for ram, I want to buy my new mobo and graphics card around Aug-Sept. I will get what ever ram is the fastest (1066 rdram or dual chl ddr). All depends what is aviable at the time of my purchase.

Only thing I know for sure is that I will get an Intel cpu and I will not get a via chipset mobo; everything else is up in the air.

What can I say? That machine is DEAD SEXY!

I didn't notice that external piping lasat night, nice way to get around the yy cube layout

hmm, only 2348 out of a 1.8? I've got a 1.6a doing 2.4 24/7 with my WC system. what voltage are you at?

Thxs Brad, I wanted to run the piping underneath the case but I decided the mobo side would look a lot cleaner w/ it coming in from the rear.

Matt, well I only have a regular 1.8 P4; I bought it when the 1.9 was Intel's flagship back in Novemeber. That 1.6a Northwood is an amazing cpu. I cant wait to get my hands on a Northwood w/ the new stepping and 533fsb.

As for you question for topping out my speed I just crank it to 2.2volts. For normal use I keep it at 1.8volts. My cpu isnt bad consider the databases I look at; for example overclockers database has your chip w/ a top speed of 2823 and avg of 2351. For my reg. 1.8 P4 top speed is 2225 and avg 2096; so Im above the norm.

Looks great.....kinda filled up inside thatc cube eh?

Brad · 04-21-2002, 03:08 AM

most of the 1.6A's I see do 2.3 - 2.5 on air, with a high of 2.6, lowest at 2.25
the 1.8A's do 2.4 - 2.6 normally, the high at 2.75, low at 2.3

thats probably 20 - 25 1.6's and 10 or so 1.8's

that's a damn nice OC for a woodie!
