the BIX2 does about 1800 watts I dont think im gonna change rads

yes, but the BIX2 constricts half of the flow...and when exactly will you put a 18 Prescott CPUs on a BIX2? That number seems a bit fabricated if you ask me.

For those of you asking about UV reactive/glowing barbs, FrozenCPU has some for sale. (Might have to use the menu to get there if the link screws up. Just go to the "fittings" section).

I'm currently bleeding my first watercooled setup. Will post pics sometime this week.

kalifornia909 i wouldn't be too dissapointed with that samsumg ram you got, if its original ram with either tccc or tcc4 chips then i think you'll find it overclocks pretty dam well, i've had mine running upto 260fsb

I have the same Dan mag pump, anyone know how the guy got glowing barbs? The only ones i could find at were metal at home depot. One of you guys knows where I could get plastic 1/2in to 1/2in ones? Metal to plastic didnt mix well and i had to load on the teflon tape =]

A while back I posted some pics of the Evercool WC-201 watercooling kit that I had reviewed and was using. A couple of mods later, here it is again.

Original:

watercooling.jpg


Latest mod:

wc201ext1.jpg


wc201ext2.jpg


wc201ext3.jpg


wc201ext4.jpg


wc201ext5.jpg


Changes from the original design:

Aerocool StormJugger X-Flow 80mm fan with control (had it from a review)
Aerocool Chameleon 80mm fan(on top of external unit) - another review fan
Tygon R-3603 1/4" ID 1/2" OD tubing - purchased (~$1/ft)
External 5 1/4" drive bay - purchase (~$25)

Also want to note that the WC-201 retails for ~$85 USD if you can find someone who is selling it.

So for ~$150 you can set this up, which really isn't too bad.

It's not what you call a DIY watercooling and it's not going to break any records for cooling, but it actually performs much better than the stock setup and it was fun to do. It also performs about 10C better than air cooling (comparing against a Thermaltake Silentboost K8 and a Titan AMD64 copper/aluminum HSF).
 
Not to be rude, but that kit just seems a bit too janky for me...is the pump even powerful enough to move that water?
 
First off, it was a free kit that we did a review on. Secondly, yes the pump is powerful enough and is moving water just fine. No, it's not the best watercooling kit around, I never made it out to be. I'm not saying anyone should run out and do what I did. I just wanted to show something that I put together just for the heck of it. My modification does aid in the cooling abilities of the unit. Until I get around to putting together a proper watercooling setup this will suffice. :)
 
Yeah, I just was wondering how the pump handled everything because I read that those pumps suck in those little kits, but that's good that it works good.
 
Hehe, well, the pump isn't exactly going to empty your sump hole... It's rated at 250ML/min which is really weak. It moves fast enough I think if you watch it flow through the tubes. I'm not saying anyone should jump out and buy this kit and do what I did. I figured since I had it I would have some fun with it... :) Gave me a project to work on while things have been kinda dead lately.
 
what pump would you recommend for a DangerDen RBX water block?

I'm thinking a Danner Mag3
 
very nice Zec! i gave your loop the evil eye and it looks rightous.
have you tried anything above 3.9. also what rbx nozz are you
using.
 
i have tried about 3.9 and no i but on the vcore i have only gone up to 1.675.

the nozzle i didn't change anything so what ever it came with.

Well im doing a test run tonight. Im use the aqua 1300, is this thing sopost to be quiet? My non water cooled pc is farly quiet and i can hear the pump above all the case fans.

Hey... did you custom build that acrylic box or its just an existing aquarium then you modded it?? and what kind of radiator is that??

Its a custom unit, cost about $40 to have all the pieces precut. Its kinda cool to work with. Its got this solvent that only activates were the 2 peices meet. Then it fuses the plastic together just at the joint and it turns into one piece of plastic when the solvent is gone.

The radiator is 399090 from the 70's gm pickups. I Guess its what every one is using for the dual 120mm setups. Its got 3/4 ends, so i used the stock 3/4 ends from the aqua and using 3/4 tubing from the resiwoir to the pump, and the pump to the radiator.

I really dont have much extra space. I have no 45/90's in the design. I have 1" or less of clearance in any direction.

Ya shes heavy. While i was designing i measured wrong so i have a 3 gallon tank instead of a 3/4 gallon tank. Its amazing how much 3" adds to the holding capacity of the tank. Well shes got 2 gallons in her now and its no longer foaming since the return line is underwater now. On the bright side i now got the ocean wave effect when looking up into it.


So for revision 2, subtract 3" from tank, and peel more film away before glueing.
 
Heh, you better brace the underside of that res. Brace it well. Having 3 gallons all over the floor or worse is going to suck in ways you'd never imagine, and not in a good way.

Its only 2 gallons, 1/4" plexi for 2 gallons. Goto the diy aquarium forums and everyone will tell you its extreme over kill. Hell they get away with 2 foot tall setups that hold 55 gallons or more and use 3/8", the standard is 1/2" for that size. I also did a knock over test. its easier to knock over the pc without the water tank, then to knock over the water tank and the pc. Alot of the weight is centered so its not really top heavy.
