new water cooling loops!!

[funkysnair]

well its the time of year to upgrade the water cooling!

i was going to do dual loop but instead ive opted for a single loop with 2 pumps and 2 tripple rads in series

my plan is to put a tripple rad in the roof of my coolermaster cosmos sport and a tripple in the front (which i know i can do as case is modified)

now i have some of the parts now but im still waiting on a few

i have











all to fit inside my sexy painted cosmos

i have still to come

another d5 pump (from pies on cf)
another tripple rad
some black tubing
compression fittings
thermal pads for gpu block
liquid
3x noctuas fans

This system really help the person whose PC get hot during some small time of period. I am sure you will share some more developing technology.

eek! Aluminum res's in a copper loop? Ever heard of a little thing called galvanic corrosion?

yes i did, but the internals are acrylic unless the water is just supposed to leak from the hole in the front?

I would skip that Nanoxia stuff, funky, if you want color, use Mayhem Dyes, and some sort of biocide

Agree with noob here, distilled water is gonna give you better temps and be cheaper.

 

[funkysnair]

yeh i know, i only bought the fluid cos it is clear and thought i might aswell order it with the rest of my stuff!

[funkysnair]

black ice 360 rad up top

both rads with fans,mobo and res installed

then this is it up to now, i still have cable management to do and a little clean up but it still looks good

yeh its not far off silent, thats with the side panels off too

this kit set me back £400ish, i havent added all the figures yet and i dont think i want to incase i frighten myself!

just got my second 5850+water block and second intel ssd to buy

the samsung monitor is 22" 1680x1050, brilliant picture quality-lloking at getting a samsung 1080p monitor soon-or another 2 of these

looks good man. keep up the good work.

thanx

 

[funkysnair]

lots of looks but no comments or advice?

 

[ScottALot]

Hm... advice? Buy me something.

Have you thought of upgrading to two completely separate loops in the future? All that's really holding you back is a res... Because right now... that pump is just floating there.

 

[funkysnair]

nah, i think the setup i have now runs some good temps-the res cost me £60 so im in no hurry to buy another

i added the second pump as the mobo block is restrictive and so is the cpu block, im not sure a single d5 would last as long as there designed for!!!

oh and i aint buying you anything lol, i would love to run seperate loops eventualy but i dont think there would be much temp advantage to warant the extra costs
