Hey everyone, I just finished leak testing this thing and it's time to get 'er running. It's technically not my system though I guess, it's a build for a family friend that I'm being paid to do.
Here's a list of the (main) involved watercooling components:
- DTek FuZion v2 CPU Waterblock
- Thermochill PA120.2 Radiator
- Swiftech MCRES Micro Reservoir
- Swiftech MCP655 12v Pump
And here's the main guts of the system itself:
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450
- Asus P5Q Pro Motherboard
- OCZ Reaper HPC Edition PC2-8500 2x2GB
- Visiontek HD4870
- Antec 1200 Gamer Case
Just wanted to throw in a few pictures of the system...it's all up and going, just gotta install Vista/other software and start with the OC:
Parts coming in the mail:
Initial setup pre-watercooling:
Radiator flushed and mounted:
Ready for leak testing:
Up and running, ready for Windows:
Up close and lights out:
So far the build has gone very smoothly and I'm quite pleased...only downside is that I've been bitten by the watercooling bug again and now I'm stuck waiting a few months before I can afford to setup my own loop.
Once things are setup and running I'll have benchmark scores coming and overclocking results posted...as the owner wants me to take some time with it and enjoy the system before handing it over.
PS: Sorry for the crappy pics...still haven't moved past my budget point and shoot digicam from a couple years ago.
