Project: PrometheusCu

Ah. Also, I am almost finished Fallout 1! I am fighting the super mutants at the military base! So awesome!

I vote for the RME Audio HDSPe if you do use one of those two

This is one of the most clean, stylish, classy, professional, and overall awesome builds i've ever seen. the black and copper are totally great together man, you have fine style. love the gpu waterblocks also. Can't wait to see the finished result, particularly how you will manage wires. But a clean watercooling setup is one of the most beautiful things, especially when done well. Rock on man!

What is the max Watt per loop you're expecting? The chipset/MOSFET loop can't generate that much heat... Dunno, seems a bit overkill The main loop could have 500+ Watt dumped into it from a quick calculation, so watercooling there seems perfectly alright, the chipset loop perhaps 100 Watt if you squint a bit?

Not that I'm complaining about overkill

That is sick. This case is really clean mods like tremeloe's builds.

@ZMTToxics - That's the best part. I love the military base.

@TooBooKoo - I agree, if there's space.

@MurderCityDevil - Thanks a lot man, I appreciate that.

@Elledan - I added the extra dedicated loop because I hadn't planned on cooling the NB/SB/Mosfets originally. When I got the blocks I figured it would be putting too much load on the 360, so I added a pump and a 120 rad.

@Markistehnamezor - Thanks

The sun is out so I got some better pictures.






Here is the 'fillport' for the first loop - this will be a bit more complex later on.


Here is the 'fillport' for the second loop, This T will be swapped for a Q and too will have a bit more added to it.


Here's where the Pico Rad will be mounted:


Here is a super simplified version of what will -sort of- be happening later.
*click for big*


I must stress that this is just the beginning, I have quite a few surprises left for this loop.
Also I will note that because of the second loop I'll no-longer be running the blocks in parallel - like my first diagram showed. The added tubes of the second loop kind of ruined that plan.

SO much more coming.
Tune in soon.

Very clean looking!!

Is there going to be anything holding those fans off the ground?

He showed several CAD renders one or two pages back. Yes, they will be off the ground.

Great! I can't wait to see the temps. I'm curious since some parts look very restricting and i've never had any experience with such high cfm fans.

Ooow this is so exiting!

@F.E.A.R. - Thanks man.
@Vinnard - Check back on page10-12 I think that's where I posted the illustrations.
@silent-circuit - Thanks.
@edinator - I too am curious about this, but I think the pump can handle the load. I have room for two more 120mm rads and another pump wost case.
@Hilmarhd - Thanks mate.

PS:
In this picture:

You can see the difference in colour between the two tubing sizes - the colour difference is much more apparent to the human eye... luckily I'll be sleeving the tubes.

On the graphics card blocks, why did they make the only part out of plexiglass, the threaded part with the barbs, seems badly designed...

I see the complaint structurally, but it's not an issue - polycarb is plenty strong for the application.

They probably opted for the polycarbonate because the seal between plastic metal will be better than metal on metal.

I just got my receipt from CableOrganizer.com (finally, damn eChecks take too long to clear!) - I got the below:
225' - 0.125" Nylon Multifilament Sleeve (MSNYMF0125)
200' - 0.1875" Nylon Multifilament Sleeve (MSNYMF01875)
200' - 0.25" Nylon Multifilament Sleeve (MSNYMF025)
100' - 0.50" Nylon Multifilament Sleeve (MSNYMF050)
75' - 0.75" Nylon Multifilament Sleeve (MSNYMF075)
25' - 2.5" DuraWrap Ballistic Nylon Side-Entry Sleeve (MSDW250)
25' - 0.25" 2:1 Heatshrink (HS2-025FT)
25' - 0.5" 2:1 Heatshrink (HS2-050FT)
5' - 0.75" 4:1 Heatshrink (HS4-075-FT)

To- be shipped on the 28th... a bit behind schedule, but hopefully not an issue.

You should make a video on how you filled your loop. It still confuses me on how your going to do it.

I hope they put a O-ring on it to seal it, if so, then it shouldn't matter what the 2 materials are, in my experience lexan/ polycarbonate is really brittle, my maze 4 chipset's top cracked, so did the thermaltake block that earned them a line in my sig, also, my glasses have a little crack in the side of one of the lenses, from dropping them a foot...

These are the fillports...

I haven't filled the loops yet, and wont be doing so for a week or so still.

I'm behind schedule due to shipping delays, back ordered items, and eCheck clearing times.

All will make sense once it starts coming together,

I know those are the fillports, just the way he would add the liquid confuses me.
