Post your watercooled pictures

GenGoku · 07-29-2003, 03:40 AM

After doing a little searching, i was surprised to see there wasn't a dedicated thread for showing our watercooled setup. Before starting the watercooling project, looking for other people's setups was a bit of a chore. Hopefully this can be a semi-centralized location where we can all share how we setup the innards of the case.

here's my rig

(2xUV Lights. one on the bottom of the case, another hiding along the top)

Case: Lian Li PC65
Rad: DTek Pro Core
Pump: Eheim 1250
Tubing: 1/2" ClearFlex60
CPU Block: WhiteWater
GPU Block: Maze 4
Additives: Water Wetter / DTek UV Visible Blue

Extra Info: Yes, I cut the 3.5" HD Cage to fit the pro core. it was cut just deep enough so that the lower 3.5" blanking plates would still fit. The T-line going behind the floppy drive is where the air trap is hiding. the water-flow doesn't seem to be as strong as i had hoped, so after finals, i'll re-do the tubing. Electrical tape was used to prevent any possible shortages and rubbing against the side-panel window as i'm using worm clamps.

If anyone needs webspace for their system pics, drop me a PM and i'll host it.

Folks new to watercooling can see my progression pictures (Warning: I uploaded these directly off the digicam)

Sorry for wrecking Your whole thread idea, but is that possibly a Titan aluminium fan on that heater core?
If so, is it noisy? I´m just about to order a heater core and a good 120 mm fan, and the Titan is the one I´m thinking of.

Mikael S.

GenGoku · 07-29-2003, 05:35 AM

no worries.

short answer: yes

long answer: it's okay but i also have a rehostat so if i feel it's too loud, i lower it down

hara · 07-29-2003, 06:10 AM

This was done over a year ago. Doing another

GenGoku · 07-29-2003, 06:17 AM

nice looking case!

mind if we take a look under the hood

hara · 07-29-2003, 06:18 AM

Thanks! Sure, internal view:

It seems like my point didn't get across. Let me try again. I already understand that a mod forum exists but that doesn't necessarily restrict images to watercooled-only. What i'm trying to do is get a thread started so if anyone asks about tubing placement, we can point them to this thread than telling them to search all around the forum/web.

bigben2k · 07-29-2003, 03:21 PM

Gotcha...

I'm in favor of keeping the tubing as straight as possible, and "tug free", which can tilt a block off the core.

Here's pHaestus' article on the subject:
http://www.procooling.com/articles/h...s_with_h2o.php

In short, avoid mitre elbows, and if possible, go with two 45 deg copper sweeps. That's what I plan to use in my rig, for every significant turn of the tubing, with clamps, of course!

GenGoku · 07-29-2003, 03:28 PM

thanks for the link

Skeptic · 07-29-2003, 04:42 PM

I will be posting my project pics as soon as I start it next week when I receive my new case. My current case is too small for some of the things I want to do with it.

nikhsub1 · 07-29-2003, 06:31 PM

Skeptic · 07-29-2003, 07:59 PM

Nice Nik!

How do you like that cube?

Blackeagle · 07-29-2003, 08:06 PM

Nikhsub1,

Wow!

Most impressive indeed! Dual cores and your Iwaki MD15 quite a combo. How large of a temp drop did the duals give you?

What case is that?

Have you tried to increase your O/C with your increased cooling? Luck?

nikhsub1 · 07-29-2003, 09:03 PM

Thanks guys, the case can be had at www.mountainmods.com tell ben Scott sent you

My temps have dropped 5 - 6C with the new case/dual cores. Nothing else changed. My OC remains the same however, maybe a ram issue.

TheWiz · 07-30-2003, 03:14 AM

Here's mine

Spike · 07-30-2003, 03:33 PM

Waterchill Pump and Zalman waterblock.
Waterchill Radiator but soon to be changed to a nextcool w-zero x1.

System is a Pentium 4 2.0A o/c to 2.5GHz in a CoolerMaster 201B BXT.

Might invest in a Maze4 watercooling kit later in the year.

Spike · 07-31-2003, 12:37 AM

Better than the waterchill block

Giblet Plus! · 07-31-2003, 01:46 AM

I like red.

White Water Rapids
Danner Mag 5 (I know the Mag 3 is a better choice, but I was a n00b)
1973 Chevy Caprice Core
Clearflex 60

Any temp reading to share?? Best if got compare

nicozeg · 07-31-2003, 10:11 AM

This is mine, CPU & GPU water cooled with my own made blocks, the rest of the cooling system is outside of the box

xerka · 07-31-2003, 10:25 AM

Here is my old setup, my new computer is just air cooled
