OhFoRkMe's 2nd Attempt @ WC

OhFoRkMe · 2nd October 2008, 2:34 PM

Well, here I am again.

I have finally decided to try watercooling again as its been biting at me for a while, well since i gave up watercooling last time. This time, i have promised to do it right and i have started fresh with a new PC and some decent WC hardware to match.

My last attempt was a Apogee waterblock, MCR320, Yate Loon fans and a Eheim 1046? It looked good but i was never going to fit everything in my case.

Enough talk, here is what i plan to cool:

E8400
Gigabyte EP45-DS4P
4GB DDR2-800 Patriot
1TB Samsung Sata
3x 500GB Samsung Sata
BFG 8800GTS 512 OC
DVD Burner
Antec Quattro 850w
Lian Li V2100+ Black
BenQ E2200HD 1920x1080 native res

And i have this to help me do that:

DTek Fuzion V1
PA120.3
PA120.2
EK-FC88GT/GTS Full Cover block
Dangerden T-Line Res
Laing D5

I was very fortunate to win Simwah's old case, rads and res in his current for sale thread on our very own forums. This has given me a great base to start my build on.

No pics yet as I have only just received the EK block in the post today but will be picking up the Case this weekend from Brisbane (roadtrip ftw)

Really looking forward to finally doing WC again and actually doing it right. I have tried the budget way first and that failed.

Expect some progress to occur early next week when everything i have ordered arrives

Cheers

forkus

Looks good.

Bleemv1 · 2nd October 2008, 3:49 PM

are you driving from NSW to Brisbane for the case?

haha good luck with the WC build.

OhFoRkMe · 2nd October 2008, 4:04 PM

Yes, driving from Lismore NSW to Brisbane.

Will be making use of the drive though as GF wants to have lunch with family up there she hasnt seen for a while so its not just for the case

Pipe down you, i cant live in denial if everyone keeps telling me the truth

Small update:

Picked up everything from Simwah this morning, very pleasant sale and had a good discussion

Finally got home after being ordered to go shopping at Indro at about 4pm.

Did a quick build on air as i am waiting for some parts from PCCG, got windows installed by 5:30pm and then GF time started and i havnt looked at it since. Took some photos during my air build which i might put up later tomorrow, though i will take photos again when i finish the loop.

Lastly, need to decide on how the loop should run, argh, decisions

I hate being ordered to go shopping, also when the GF makes me spend time away from the computer

Parts/Gear looks good. Looking forward to the finished result!

Thanks guys,

AAE guys should be delivering some other goods this morning from PCCG.

Waiting on:

10x 3pin Extension Cable
1x Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
3M Swiftech Tubing 7/16"
1x EZ Power Supply Tester with Voltage LCD Display
1x Corsair HX-620 620W Power Supply
1x Zalman Multi Fan Controller Plus Black
1x Laing D5 Vario 12V Pump
6x AC Ryan SATA Cable 75cm Black

Got a PSU Tester and a Corsair HX-620 as i am having some issues with the Quattro 850w and it not giving enough power to the video card. PSU Tester to test it and HX in case i need to RMA it.

Fan extension cables for cable routing and managment to the Fan Controller.

AS5...well because its AS5.

3M of Tubing, i know its alot but i know myself and measuring. Rather have more than less.

Laing D5 because its going to be quite interesting without it.

75cm Sata cables for routing and cable management.

I hate waiting for stuff to come

mshagg · 9th October 2008, 9:44 AM

Sounds good. Im using the same fan controller, neat little unit.

As for deciding on the run, i banged up a quick diagram of the case in MS paint and came up with about 5 possible loops... passed the time when waiting for bits anyways lol.

OhFoRkMe · 9th October 2008, 10:51 AM

lol quick image in paint at work.

Been speaking to DRAGONKZ as well on msn and i think i might run with his suggestion of:

Pump > PA120.3 > CPU > PA120.2 > GPU > Pump

Just checked AAE Track and Trace. The package has just been picked up by local driver

Simwah · 9th October 2008, 11:20 AM

This is one i knocked up in paint earlier :P

OhFoRkMe · 9th October 2008, 11:51 AM

Haha, wow Simwah, its amazing what you can do in paint these days

OhFoRkMe · 9th October 2008, 4:19 PM

Everything has arrived from PCCG.

Pictures later
