To anticipate your questions:
- in system there is demineralized water + corossion inhibitor + UV-Dye Lite + Water Wetter
- all PCI cards (except graphic) and HDD are easy to remove
- golden rule: efficiency or silcence.
Standard:
PAPST 172mm - 12V
3x PAPST 120mm - ~7,5V (very, very, very quiet)
PAPST 8412NGL + TT Mem - 12V
2xPAPST 8412NGL (back) + Chieftec (side) - ~7V
Chieftec's fan can have voltage of the back fans/12V/OFF. I cut the molex because it was not pro. There are 2 pieces of metal (first in case, second on panel) that work as a contact when you close the panel. Thank to rheobus I have total control over all fans!
- the labirynth and vast of copper elbows were just a result of the target of overwhelming performance (without TECs or FC)
- temperature of water in silcent mode amounts to ~2,5*C higher than ambient (my record is 0,2*C!!!)
- the higher the water flow the better the C/W ratio. Replacing EHEIM 1250 with HALM resulted in 1-2*C less on CPU. The pump is very silent (better than EHEIM).
- using back swith you are able to turn off all lights
Price of waterblocks and other equipment:
- URIEL2 (CPU) - PLN 150 = E 32
- WELAND (NB) - PLN 110 = E 23
- ATIRA (GPU) - PLN 120 = E 25
- MOSFET - tailor made by CopperField
- PUMP - PLN 280 = E 59
- radiators - second hand
- PAPST fans - 80mm ~E 10; 172mm ~E 8 (second hand); 3x120mm ~ E 2
(second hand)
+ a lot, lot, lot, lot and lot of work
