tastyweat · Aug 28, 2004, 09:35 PM

it's a 3dmark03 13577 scoring, 3dmark01se 25011 scoring, pcmark04 5900 scoring rig:

No_Style · Aug 28, 2004, 09:51 PM

Looks impressive. That's a lot of CD-Rs (?) acting like a tower.

Get that baby all in the case and show it off in its glory

tastyweat · Aug 28, 2004, 09:55 PM

I will do soon enough... I want to get the ram slot sorted first though

GutterPunk · Aug 28, 2004, 11:24 PM

very nice, i want watrer cooling

Zardon · Aug 29, 2004, 12:18 AM

good job jon, im sure you will love that baby once you get it all set up and start gaming

it's a nice and fast rig... plays doom 3 brilliantly... but then it played it brilliantly at stock speeds... lol

I just wish that there wasn't the problem with the ram slot... at ultra texture res you notice the difference between 1gb and 2gb... my oc just about makes up for the difference...

I'll rma the mobo in a week or two and get 2gb crucial ballistix and a gallatin in a couple of months

drakesteakn · Aug 29, 2004, 01:09 AM

looks nice. fast too.

Nacht · Aug 29, 2004, 03:32 AM

is that milk in your tubes?

lol j/k...awesome setup, i wish to do somehting similar

G@MeBoY · Aug 29, 2004, 05:05 AM

nice, bit too much tubbing for cooling just CPU

here's mine:

No_Style · Aug 29, 2004, 05:27 AM

Nice and organized, Gameboy

That's sexy.

If I do water (When I get money!

) I want to do some UV lighting and UV water dye.

G@MeBoY · Aug 29, 2004, 05:51 AM

Thaks

I spent about 70$ for my watter cooling

WB - 25$
radiator (thats in car cabine radiator, you can buy it as a spare part, mine is from "Yugo"

) 15$
CoolerMaster "Titan" 120mm fan - 12$
subbmersible watter pump "Atman" 1200l/h - 15$
tubbing - 3$
everything else I welded, glued, typed etc.

Like modding the pump to be externall instead of subbmersible (I probably didnt spell some thing wright). Radiator has 18 pipes (I dont know the word in English) and has 40% more capacity than "BlackIce Pro" and is likely to perform better since it's "tighter" and has more pipes...but it's kinda ugly painted, I will re-paint it soon...UV lightning is cool but I cant find UV cold cathodes in my country and quite like "cold blue" and I have put blue antifreeze coolant in destilled watter and I like how it looks very much

hope you had more luck than my mate (who is a pro welder), he made his own watercooling kit and it worked for 6 months fine, then one day he went to power up and overnight there was a leak, lost everything......

lol... I can still remember your reaction when you started playing D3!!! lol... the comments on D3... can't remember the exact words... this game is awesome... so atmospheric... lol... and now you complaining about it

- ah well - I like the game tbh... don't have a problem with it... I think HL2 will be even better though... won't make me jump as much as D3 though!

Yes I spoke to you 30 minutes after playing it, and it rocked ! unfortunately 4 hours later I was asleep........... but lets not go there

you had the flu... so that's excusable

I just got to doom hell... lovely graphics... nearly finished... nearly completed in something like 5 or 6 hours - lol

@/2ct!< · Aug 29, 2004, 06:57 PM

Thats a fugly setup, but at least it performs great.

G@MeBoY · Aug 30, 2004, 03:45 AM

@zardon: well I have this for a month now, I allready had a leak that made my graphic card wet, but I use destilled watter which is allmost non conductive (conductive at distancies of 0.5mm) so I paniced but nothing happened

Now everithing is sealed and I tested it with 12m hight capablle watter pump and nothing leaked (this is 10 times more presure than from my current pump or any pump used for watter cooling).
Hope nothing bad happens, thanks for concern

No_Style · Aug 30, 2004, 04:18 AM

*knock On Wood*

pr0digal jenius · Aug 30, 2004, 08:40 PM

that's sexy gameboy....i love the yugo mod

but as for me, when it comes to water(when i go that route...probably my next rig as this one would see little to no benefit) I think i'll stick to premade parts as they are much mroe likely to work...and well...the extra $$ for a nice water cooling setup is LOTS cheaper then the cost of drowning your rig

G@MeBoY · Aug 31, 2004, 12:02 AM

extra $$ is not a problem if you have them and if you can find the parts. In my country you cant find anything watter cooling realted, my WB is made on CNC machine in a local workshop.

Tubbing is tubing, I see no point in giving 30$ for something that costs 3$. Radiators are also re-selled to you, and watter pumps too, actualy only thing the companies manufacter is WB.

There is really little to no-chance to drown your rig since all comp. parts are protected with polish (as nailpolish ?! I dont know the word) and u use disstiled watter which is not conductive enough to short-cicruct anything (it has arround 100 el. capacity, to short-cicrcut something you need at least 600, tap watter has arround 1200 since it contains metals and minerals)

tastyweat · Aug 31, 2004, 12:20 AM

actually... just one thing off there... DangerDen make their own pump

El Kapitano · Aug 31, 2004, 12:22 AM

Nah, sorry G@meboy but no PC cards are protected as you say, the solder points are all bare. Only external PCB's (alarm system bellboxes, PIR sensor pcb's and the like get the "conformal" (protective) lacquer coating you're thinking of.

acctualy danger den uses eheim and hydoor pumps, you get to choose when you configure your order. The pump you refer is this one:

as you can see the manufacturer is "Noryl" and is modded by danger den (added molex)

black ice pro radiator is acctualy "Ford" cabine radiator which you can buy for some 25$...

I am not saying Danger Den is bad, they just resell parts you can buy cheeper and manufacter excellent WBs

LMAO

, Noryl is a type of material which the pump is made out of. The actual pump mfgr. is Laing, and swiftech is the only "official distributors" of the laing pumps(german co.?), swiftech then distributes ones that they dont keep for themselves to other companys such as DD, but the price is not that much different. Heatercores can be a lot cheaper than black ices, but black ices are a good fit for those that dont want to make any modifications, as are required with many pure automotive heatercores.

Geminiwave · Sep 1, 2004, 05:55 PM

hey dont laugh dude...thats what i thought the first time i saw it too.

G@MeBoY · Sep 2, 2004, 01:47 AM

Well, it is funny for someone who knows what it is...I personally never heard of it, probably has a different name here where I live (some sort of distorted translation into my language). But it isn't danger den's and that's for shure

Like I said, I use german submersible 1200l/h pump (averige pre-built system pumps are 450l/h hydor) which I modded into external pump. Works flawless for months now, and costs 12$ (instead of 70$), if it ever drops dead (which I doubt, I have one in aquarium for over two years) I'll just go buy another one for 12$

Geminiwave · Sep 2, 2004, 03:46 AM

awesome man!

I'm considering doing water cooling but I cant bring myself to go through the work to do it.

tastyweat · Sep 2, 2004, 06:01 PM

it's not all that much work... i was a complete watercooling noob and I setup this completely customised system with no need for instructions... remarkably simple!

I only needed a little help picking out the parts and that was it.
