New WaterCool Setup

BrianH · 08-13-2002, 10:24 PM

Well just finished my second attempt at water cooling. Here is my setup

BrianH · 08-13-2002, 10:35 PM

Sorry posted too early.....

Custom built res with Lucite
2 AquaVia 1300 pumps hanging from the bottom of the res
2 BIX rads
DangerDen Maze 3
DangerDen Gforce 4 block
Tygon Tubing
Chenbro Netserver Case
Asus P4B533-e motherboard
Intel P4 - 2.0A Northwood
Asus Ti4200 Video
512mb OCZ PC2700 ram
SB Audigy
80 GB main drive
2 x 40GB mirrored drives

Fans
2 x 120 Med Panaflo in the rads
1 x 120 Low Panaflo
2 x 60 low Panaflo
3 x 80 low Panaflo
1 x 90 low Panaflo

Temps
Room 24.5 (CompuNurse)
Case 26 (MBM)
CPU (idle) 29 (MBM)
CPU (load) 32 (MBM)
Water 26.7 (CompuNurse)

Am currently "breaking-in" at 2.5Ghz. I have had a 3DMark2001 test run at 2.8Ghz or 140FSB... Maybe I will get to 150 ???

I am running 1 loop for the CPU and another loop for the video card.

Thanks

sounds cool, got any pics?

BrianH · 08-14-2002, 12:40 AM

Soon.. within a day or 2

Sanjuro · 08-14-2002, 01:04 PM

damnit you posted all the good specs but have to keep us waiting for pics? GET A MOVE AND GRAB THAT DIGICAM!

BrianH · 08-14-2002, 09:31 PM

Sorry

I won't be able to post pics till Friday

Damn, approx 6C over water temp at 2500mhz! I need to build an Intel system! I have a hard time getting 6C over water temp at 1400mhz with a AMD XP1600+.

BrianH · 08-14-2002, 09:55 PM

OK.. Here is a 2 pics of the right and left side of the case
More on Friday

BrianH · 08-14-2002, 09:56 PM

The the right side

TonyM · 08-14-2002, 10:49 PM

i like how you hooked the pump straight to the res, good idea, though i would be too worried it would leak

Can O' Beans · 08-14-2002, 11:40 PM

Nice dual system

One thing I saw was the smaller diameter tubing between the pump & the res connector. Not sure how much the restriction would affect flow... /shrug

I do like how the pumps are right under the reses like that, but I'd also be afraid of future leakage. I'd try to make some kind of support for them.

Either way, nice system. You're getting some pretty good numbers there

I'm also doing an Intel system. I'm gonna try for the 1.6A Northy as it's potential reminds me of my older dual 366 celerys.

BrianH · 08-15-2002, 12:46 PM

The pumps are held in place with a water tight grommet. There is no tubing involved. The intake sucks the water directly into the pump.

The intake to the pump is a normal nozzle as used in an inline system. The "washer" part of the grommet acts like a clamp. Once on, I could not get them off. Then the bottom parts screws up tight. I do not think I will get any leaks!?! (I hope)

All the res joints are sealed with Plumbers goop. If you noticed that the bolts lift from the bottom of the res. This prevents any weight on the joints. All the weight, including the pumps, are thru the base plate and then thru the bolts.

The res was very difficult to make but worth it, I think

By the way, I am currently running at
2.6 gHz (CPU @ 130FSB mem @ 173 Mhz)
Room Temp @ 24.7
Water @ 27.9
MB @ 26
CPU (idle) @ 29

I am going to run it at this speed for a

Sanjuro · 08-15-2002, 01:05 PM

Hm... thats pretty sexy.. I like your res

I'm thinking about doing that with my 2-md-sc too, but I'm still a little concerned about the viberation from the pump motor skrewing up the T-joint on my airtrap overtime. However, I don't want to use flexi tubing since all I have is crappy HD tubing that kinds like mad. Maybe i'll go with 1/2" copper for the looks (the viberation still transfers i guess, but who cares)

imatation · 08-15-2002, 03:18 PM

Nice rig, it looks great! How did you connect the fans to the BIXs? Did you find sheet metal screws long enough? My local hardware store doesnt sell #6 or #8 sheet metal screws longer than 1".

BrianH · 08-15-2002, 07:23 PM

Sanjuro

The pumps are susoended with rubber grommets therefore I have no vibration. Once I put in on the floor, it should be virtually silence

imatation

Actually I attached the fans directly to the BIX with 1/2 #8x32 machine screws. You have to drill out the hole (VERY CAREFULLY) to the proper size and screw on tight. I then used black tape to seal the edges. I used 3/4" 8x32 screw and nut to secure it to the front of the case.

Here is another pic of the front of the case

BrianH · 08-15-2002, 07:25 PM

And one with the doors open

BrianH · 08-15-2002, 07:27 PM

And the Left Side 120mm blow hole

BrianH · 08-15-2002, 07:27 PM

oops pic did not attach

dreamie · 08-16-2002, 07:21 AM

Look at the pic with the clear res. By all the wires in that pic I would say it is at the bottom of the case in that pic.

My best guess...

BrianH · 08-16-2002, 06:51 PM

No it is the top. This is a cube case. The PS is on the bottom of the right side
