Holy crap stains that is a sweet looking setup
All it needs is a quick connect 3.5 and 5.25 blanks and your good to go :) Personally on my setup I use the rad to cool the HDDs, fan controller and PSU. Using it to push air across the board is much better design... I cant wait to get 360 rad instead of this 480.. it SOOO freaking big granted it cools like a beast... maybe I need a new WB, 360 rad and a 355 for my 24/7 setup ;) Just let witchy build me a solid light weight bench station... I was thinking 3 rad on a design now its changing ... *sigh Ill be in touch before you are back to benching WD ;) |
Im hoping the block I have doesnt hold back the loop. I got a AquaXtreme MP-05 for $20, that can go from AM2/3, 775, 478, 939, 754, A without taking apart the block to change the bracket. It just looks like a crappy block though.
The Socket A board I have (NF7-V2) has tall caps next to the CPU socket, so I had to put some spacers on the mount for the block to get it to fit. Just looks wierd now lol. Ill probably have the loop going by this weeked. I got to finsh with the upgrades to my laptop, and go see Iron Man 2 first though :cool3: |
Hey C sounds like the rad was not quite dead on balls :ohcrap:
Hoping it is a simple enough fix Go to hardware store buy a drill bit just a hair bigger than the holes .... prolly 1/16th bigger drill through all 12 holes and try again ... that should get you so you can pull it tight You will need a jig saw to fix the notch take off end panle and the bottom cut extend 1/4" then on both sides of the notch that should be just about it .... time to preform repair 15 minutes ..... I knew I should of had you ship me that rad .... sorry for the screw up bro |

Wow, really nice looking rack. Probably be my next step up from a case once I get things rolling along. Quite the Crafter.
|
Finally got the loop flowing. Was having trouble with the inlet to the rad leaking, but I "think" I got it working now. Going to leak test over night, and hopefully get to benching again tomorrow.
Pics to follow soon. |
Looking good C ... :thumbsup:
Need a DD :thumbsup:dual res ... that micro looks micro up there .... LOL |

1F above ambient in BIOS without the AC on, with a P4 3Ghz HT 478. Still installing windows, havent got to load yet. |
LOL
Hitting some retro benching .... It all good bro .... has been a long timme since I haev overclocked a P4 .... :thumbsup: |

Once Ive benched them all, Im going to sell off the CPUs and get in to i5 I think. Got the P4 3Ghz past 4.2 with 1.75v, max temp I saw with benching was 23C. The P4 2.8 Mobile I have is at 3.6 1.8v 18C lol. |
Anyone have any suggestions for the water build up in the AC? We arent allowed to have it in a window where I live, so its sitting on a file cabnet. I stuck a few pieces of cardboard under the back end to sit it straight so the water wouldnt dump out the back, but it fills up inside after a couple hours of running. Really a PITA to drain out by myself too.
|
There should be a plug in the bottom of it somewhere. If you attach a piece of hose to that point, you can let the unit drain the condensation into a bucket or out a window. :thumbsup:

Found the plug, but its right in the center. Since its sitting, not sure how I can get to it. Might balance it part way on the table, and part on the cabnet.
|
How bout using a rubbermaid cooler to dip the evaporator into and then filling it up with coolant and pumping the cold coolant thru your water loop? CHILLER!
Then no more condensation issue :D |

Most likely, Ill just set it in a cooler with the rad too, so I can still have a closed loop. But, what Ive been doing so far, Ive been beating LN2/DICE P4s with my water setup as is :cool3: |
