jasonbourne · Feb 27, 2005, 12:21 AM

very nice case topbob

bstef9950 · Feb 27, 2005, 09:25 PM

I like the way your rig looks,all water coled and all.the water cooling never gave you a problum?.If you conpare are 3d5 scores mine over all kicks butt.But because of your bigger chip,And more ram has you beating me in cpu score.But not the overall score.

tankhunter01 · Mar 4, 2005, 07:25 PM

CD; does your rig tend to heat up with those plastic wire covers (little pipe stuff)

I had some similar to that on mine..it was really messy..and oddly it heated up quite fast..

Sandok · Mar 4, 2005, 07:39 PM

Those rigs rule! I'm changing a few things on mine and as soon as my PSU is here, I'll take some piccys!

bake15 · Mar 4, 2005, 08:12 PM

No. My system doesn't heat up any w/the wire loom. Well, actually, ever since i got my new PSU, i've been to lazy to put it on again. LOL.....i haven't even put the side panel back on ever since i put my new PSU in

.

Some more current pix of my system......I gotta re-wire my system sometime soonish, but i've just been too lazy when i have the time, and too busy when i want to do it.

My friend gave me the the CoolerMaster Musketeer to cover up the big empty hole my system had in its place. The white DVD rom drive will soon be replaced by a black DVD-RW drive

.

I also got me a 92mm tornado to replace my old 80mm tornado

. Noise is of no issue to me

.

My OCZ got a bit smudged when i was installing it. I tried cleaning it off, but it didn't work out so well.

Well, that's all the pix i have for now.......i'll be putting up more pix when i get my system re-wired. I'm also thinking of replacing my two exhaust ThermalTake fans for some lighted blue ones. I want some that just plug in directly to the 3-pin MoBo headers to keep my wiring as clean as possible.

SkyBum · Mar 5, 2005, 08:43 AM

My rig wasnt quite done when I took these (not to mention I went through 3 mobo RMAs before I got a working board) but here it is, my very first build!

very cool. what kind of tubing is that? it looks wicked in those pics.

SkyBum · Mar 5, 2005, 11:30 AM

If you're referring to the blue tubing, it's what comes with the Koolance Exos. I kinda wish I'd used it in place of the clear tubing that runs from CPU>GPU>MB cause it's much more flexible than the clear stuff, but I wanted to leave as much length to the radiator as possible so I could assemble everything outside the PC before I mounted the mobo.

You can probably buy it by the foot from the coolance website.

pr0digal jenius · Mar 5, 2005, 07:11 PM

i can't get it to work on those images either...that host shows them through a PHP script isntead of giving you a nice .jpg URL, so vB IMG tags can't do it

tankhunter01 · Mar 6, 2005, 01:11 AM

CD awesome rig once again. I should post mine soon..its an acrylic bitch...but it rocks. As for the tubing...leave it out...your wire management looks very nice w/o it. Kickass PSU too!

-Skybum: Love the h20 on it...i for one...i dont trust h20 since i havent really gotten the chance to use it....but yeah...awesome!

itchy5 · Mar 6, 2005, 05:28 AM

The rig is always apart, no need for tidy cabling, thats why the side panel is off too (and the psu is out the rear) !

side panels are over rated :P I even picked up a zalman arm cause i saw yours and thought it was cool.

new pics

Zardon · Mar 7, 2005, 01:03 AM

looks great !

the zalman arms are handy, ive a few here to clamp on 120mm fans for all systems, always a must for overclocking and helping keep the mofsets and NB/Ram cool. people seem to just concentrate on the CPU and screw the rest.

itchy5 · Mar 7, 2005, 01:18 AM

ya cause of the WC i dont get any air flow to my ram or mosfets :\

well its the same for the 775 mobos, if you remove the cpu cooler you get virtually no air flow as the standard cooler design is outward firing across the mofsets. I sometimes run two of the arms with a couple of (quietish 30-35db 120 mm fans) if the room ambient is up, helps keep things stable especially if you up the chipset voltage at high FSBs.

pr0digal jenius · Mar 7, 2005, 01:27 AM

I need to find the picture of the setup we had when we got it to post(but not boot) @ 2 GHz on a Athlon XP 1800+ via air...it was so ghetto. We were in a basement, and it was like, 32 degrees outside, and we took the A/C duct off the wall and duct taped it to the side of the case and turn it on full blast as cold as it would go...haha
