Ok, this is a preliminary post.
I've been spenting time piecing things together. With my schedule i'm not afforded the luxury of setting things up all at once sit down. This is also and major undertaking retrofitting the custom WB that is being used as the waterchiller. The principle for this project was to take a pair of old Kryotech SuperG's and mount them to cool a dual Xeon system running on an Iwill DH800. First off, the components. Motherboard:Iwill DH800 Cpu's: Pair of 2.4/533/512 Pair of 1.6/400/512 LV Pair of 2.8/800/1024 ES Memory: Don't know, i've got two sets of twinx pc3200 and a set of twinx pc4000. Video: Either 9700pro or 5900u256, Most likely the 9700pro as it already has the WB mounted and i'm being lazy with it. Storage: Lsi Megaraid, either the 320-2 or enterprie 1600I also have the 150-6 i might try using in here. Box is going to be a gaming rig, as i've got the x5dpe-g2 with 8Gb of ram for a server and the Ic7-max3 as a gaming machine as well, (max3 will probably go away if this is succesful) Ok, no i run into a problem. I'm walking through the final construction phase of the installation. Mounting the hardware and planning the tube routing. The case is codegen from newegg. ![]() Closeup of the front. ![]() Side with the two kryo cooling heads and the first problem i'm finding(where/how to fit them) ![]() Back of the unit showing the old PC Power & Cooling ATX600 Full tower psu i'm going to use for the hdd's. ![]() MOBO side, showing the BIX2 that i'm probably going to remove, don't think i need it. ![]() Closeup of mobo side where kryo tubing is coming into the bottom of the case to the other chasis side. ![]() CPU/mobo closeup ![]() Dual cooling heads closeup ![]() Current DD Dual bay res showing where it might go. ![]() Same, from inside showing where tubing run will be ![]() The main problem is mounting the dual cooling heads to each other, and I must apologize, I forgot to get a pic of the WB chiller. I'll get one of it tomorrow, and post it. I'm rethinking the placement of the coolant loop. My initial thought was to have the cooling heads on the drive side with the res, now looking at the placement, space and tube routing, i'm thinking of mounting it all in the mobo side, and getting a 3.5" bas res from DD. It would make tubing alot easier and functional, but give me a tighter space to work in. Damned if I do and damned if I don't on this one. The dual cooling heads mount flush with a waterblock I made for a previous system, where i used one of these kryotechs to cool an Abit NF7-S 2.0 up to 250fsb. I'm planning on cooling the NB and GPU inline with the cpu's. Cpu's will use y adapters to split the fresh cool water straight to them first in parallel(spelling). then to the NB, followed by the GPU, then back to the pump, up to the res and back into the chiller. Anyway, that's it for the moment, if anyone has any idea's or thoughts, please let me know, and Merry Christmas everyone.
