Really sorry peeps, got majorly side tracked with this. The project isn't dead yet, just hibernating ;)
Nothing much to show really, I did have to re-polish the Maze4 GPU block and took a few pictures of it alongside the Cascade SS.
:)
After picking up a Cascade SS along with its very own custom A64 mounting plate (cheers Paul!) I decided to go for an old revision Maze4 GPU block. That way I could give it the shiny treatment so the Cascade didnt look out of place in all its silver glory :)
Heres the Maze4-1 in its...
I've got a bottle here and on the back it has the hazardous substance sign (black cross in an orange square) Undearneath it has written "reizend" which translates to charmingly apparantly :confused: :p
Either way, it's not something you should go and pour down drains...
Has anyone noticed that big bore loops offer a better money to performance ratio?
Anyone noticed that when AC release products, it appears they focus more on the form rather than the performance?
I find if it's going to leak It'll do it in the first couple of days which allows you to deal with it due course. My loop has been running for about 6 months, after a few weeks you stop checking for leaks and stuff :p
Thanks for the feedback!
That hard drive cage is going nowhere, trust me! Vibration shouldn't be a problem as i'll be mounting the aquadrive using thick tape ;)
I've got the Enermax copy of that case. First thing I did was take the stupid thing out :p
Big waste of plastic imo. Heat rises so the wind tunnel is going to do next to nothing. What's the point of trying to vent air out the bottom back of the case?
Taking a break from the radiator for a bit I got the pump mounted. I popped the motherboard into the case just to make sure it wasnt going to obstruct anything.
The M5 mounting holes marked.
The pump mount was also drilled and the holes then countersunk for the M5 bolts.
Sorry...
Now that I had approximate locations for the components inside the case, I started finalising the radiator mounting. The original plan was to rest the radiator upside down across the centre brace and drill holes for the barbs to go through the drive bay cage. Once I had the Aquadrive and its...
After removing the HDD cage to accommodate the BIX3, I knew I needed a new method of mounting the hard drives. I figured it would be nice to use Danger Dens new Aquadrive in the mod. However, once the radiator and fans were installed, space in the drive bay cage became a major issue as it left...
The relay hides at the rear of the PSU, its secured by a double sided pad :)
Once that was all tested and working I got the PSU braided up in UV orange, its tedious work but well worth the effort imo.
The result of a full days work. Ive yet to add a chrome grill to the fan ;)...
Im still here and have been making alot of progress with this project, just dont have much to show in the way of pictures yet ;)
However, Ill do my best in taking you through what Ive done to the PSU.
Heres the Enermax Liberty PSU Ill be using another one of the CPC prizes :)...
The springs compress to give a downward pressure which should result in better waterblock contact :cool: It looks to me like he is using them but they've compressed so it doesn't look like a spring anymore lol.
Get a waterblock on that card already. Looking great all the same ;)
Throwing in my £0.2...
I recently got my hands on a Danger Den Aquadrive, to say the least I'm a little disappointed with what I found.
Being the type of person I am, I opened the thing up straight away, I'm glad I did! Here's why:
The delrin flow sections still had millings...
You guys are getting slightly confused.
I very much doubt a 120.3 radiator will offer better temperatures than a 120.2 when tested with the same blocks etc.
However, the 120.3 will be able to remove more heat from the loop at a faster rate. It comes into it's own when you're using a loop...
hahaha, cheers, it's appreciated :D
It's currently my main rig while the A64 one is being built, I'll most likely add another HDD and use it as a server after that.
