Thanks for the insight Rich,

I think you have convinced me this is an effort in futility.

I will have to rethink my stratagy.

Ultimently this is really being planned out as an SB-e or Haswell build, Ivy is just what I had in the rack and with it being a heat monger thought it would be a good test bed

But from what you said about the power usage has me thinking as my grinnder basicall never gets turned off ........... :ohcrap:

dude, I would love for you to play with TEC more and school us all in how it can be, there are just certain reasons why it never made mainstream and it was not condensation.

No reason not to slap that boreas on an A6 AMD APU and clock it up to 5.5 GHz drop in a single SSD and run CPU and IGP at ambient temps as far as I can tell.. And run your awesome X79 as an awesome x79... (just pretend you are powering an socket 2011 setup :))

No tec= quad rad for CPU alone I did on i7 1366, just the rad.. no LN2 no nothing and pushed the board limits 24/7. my setup never ran not 220+ out the windows for 240 atempts :) same setup released two screws and BRRR



TBH I am just upset you spent the money on the boreas. no matter what you got it for. It upsets me.

O well, it does do better than water alone based on my testing.

So it does have some value and with wattages coming down so I believe one day viable solution again.

I think for now I will side line it and move in an overkill ambient water solution.

I have a big case so I can fit an untold amont of crap in there,

Thansk for all your help and insight Rich

Had some time this morning and installed rads, fans, resivors & pumps on the front side of the build. Odered a 250 mm res tube so if my metric conversion was correct will bring it uo the the exact same hieght as the left one, also grabbed some fill ports and multi link adapters to pipe straight out of the top using solid 13 mm arcrilic tubing found in New Jersey, being multi link is for 12mm tubing it will be a tight fit, but think it is doable, may need to grab some Orings that are a touch thinner , if not can use some simple compresion adapters

Woo whee! Overkill build :) I like it.

Why didn't you put the Rad in the bottom on the other side on the top ??

overkill is underrated

There are two more going on the other side ........... :thumbsup:

8.120 for the CPU and 8.120 for the GPU :blink:

make sure you tie it down to the floor :laughing:

THIS POST IS AWESOME!!

:thumbsup:

Making some progress over the last few days ........ :)

Looking good

Looking SWEET WD :thumbsup: wish I could bend copper like that :P

looks great bud!

Shit, those real copper tubes? Thing is gonna run cool as heck with all that addtional heat dissipation.

Freaking cool as hell! I always wanted to do a real plumbing job in a case.

Seriously awesome sauce.

Thanks guys,

Finishing up some odds and end this week on the fill tubes and feed side of the loop and thern it is on to Hardware selection. Think I an going to stay with my SB-E, I have not read enough to think Haswell will bring enough to the table to make up for 2 c 4t advantage. And the chip Duke sold me seems nice enough as I am running it at 4.5 24/7 with just a single 140mm rad ATM .... So I should see an improvment with 120.8 rad

Looking at new boards the EVGA Dark and the Asus WS IB-E ready varients so it is plug and play when IB-E hits the streets , rumor has it these will hit the streets at the end of March begining of April.

Looking at existing x79 boards I have to think the Big Bang brings a lot to the table, but would really like to get a new gen x79.

Please hit me with a link if youy see anything out there while surfing around

Thanks

Fianlly got the fill tub fittings ........... :thumbsup:

AWESOME SAUCE!
Did you braid them wires yourself? Love the Tubing!!!But it looks a little thin(im old!)Maybe its my eyes? I would have made it look more "BUSY" as the tubing does offer more cooling, Id have plumbing running all over the place almost like a Rad. You do Very nice work with that cooper!!
CHEERS!:Hi:

Need a deal on a SB-E hit me up I have an un molested RIVE with a 3930K 12 core

I do like the "Darth Vader" look it is giving off! To bad the cooper doesn't come in black make it like a Tuxedo look

thanks,

No I bought them braided like that Corsair has kits, got um on sale a Performance PC for 40 bucks on sale :)

it is relativly thing compared to the normal vinil tubing, it is only 1/4id 3/8" OD piping, but it a far less drag and actual speed of the water will be increased. We will have to see how it plays out but think it will be fine

A RIVE would look dam good mounted in there ............. :laughing:

Here are some pics I just took, have all 23 fans wired and connected to the fan bus's,,,, as well as the pumps are connected what a PITA ......... :shock:

my god dude! that looks SICK!

Very nice man!
I wish I could do better on the board..............Let me Dice it first then price comes down :laughing:

No sweat bro............. :thumbsup:


Something will turn up :)

Final Specs revealed in OP ................. :thumbsup:

So did you order the gpus already ? Balling :rofl

I asked the wife after a lil nagging she said yes but don't think ill do it you can't just have one :blush:

Agreed, might as well go 2x 680

:shock:

But there not called Titan :laughing:

Sucks I don't think I can drop that much on a card lol

Can't wait to see it come together going to be sweet :)

I bet smack would love the card cuz it has leds XD

Pc is on a rampage coming along nice WD

wow man lovin it

Thanks guys, wto hold out for the Ligtning additions but with rumores stating they were simply going to be a Twin Frzer cooler strapped on a reference design I figured there was no point as I am putting blocks on them anyway, Funny the difference between the Super clock addition and their signature addition is you get a t-shirt and a mouse pad ........... for only 50 bucks.... :ohcrap: new I should have gone with the signature addition, rumor has it they are 50/50 too ........... :laughing:

Edit:

Here are a few pics of the progrees

Took some time after work to pop in the CPU supply and return. They are not tightened in yet as I have to remove the motherboard try to install the GUP's and bridge yet, but it's coming along :)

Shame to put a sidecover on it... :)

it's got a Window ............ :thumbsup:

Jeebus, didn't realize the case was that big! Lookin good WD.

WOW!
That thing is Genormus!

The motherboard look like a mini atx. ffs. lol

:laughing:

yea no shit man, freaking thing is massive, once filled with water I think it will be a two man job to move it .......... :ohcrap:

got some goodies today

How much for rent? I'll bet the heat is free! :good:
