:) going big WD :)

go big or stay at home ................. :thumbsup:

Have not done anything like this since the NBOC days, forgot how much fun it is building these types of systems .

Got one in da house ............... :thumbsup:

Second one tracked to be here tommorow :)

Looking sweet WD :thumbsup:

i demand more pictures!!!!!

Here's a few with the block on

wow WD! it looks fantastic!

man, I wish I had the skill to do the copper piping like that :ohcrap: Looks awesome Doc :thumbsup:

No skills required bro, just need a lot of extra copper for the pieces that don't work out .............. :laughing:

beast

GRats on titan WD card is real fitting to the build... ALL OUT!

Have hit bottom :ohcrap:



forced to whore my sevices out, (1) Light gamer and (1) Facebook server

What have I become ............... :tg:

O well another $ 500.00 towards the Titans

second one showed up and the bridge should be in the mail today ..... :thumbsup:

Piping is finally done ............. :thumbsup: testing for leaks tommorow

Yep, that is very, very awesome work.

Love the copper and attention to detail.

Wonder if you'll run into any leakers.

Test the loop with a MityVac...works both ways. :thumbsup:

Have you thought about shut offs to each component? It makes it alot easier to swap out hardware when you need to. And, you won't have to drain the whole system.

What size copper is that?

Looks really nice bud. Awesome work. I am very jealous.

Is that 1 full loop WD or did you split cpu and gpus up?

You've one amazing gamer now man outstanding cable management! Copper piping just sets it off and keeps it super clean looking bud. :clapping:

How are you treating the copper to prevent oxidation?

Oxidation can be handled with the type of coolant you put in the loop i think.

Thanks guys,

@ Duke,
No I did not install shut off, but I do have a drain down valve on each loop and piped as such to be able to drian below the component it is piped to. SO while a lot of coolant is lost it is pretty painless so to speak. Being this is a gaming rig do not plan to tear it down a lot, Possible an IB-E upgrade when they are released if they are worth the price of admission . It iis 3/8' OD, smaller than typically found in PC water loops, but the piping has much less drag than the typical poly we use in water coooling

@ 3D
it is two seperate loops CPU/GPU

@ Rich
Using distilled water and PT Nuke. Not much corosion can take place in a closed loop. No diffferent than using copper blocks. Water corosion typically takes place in an open system, Like the corrosion you get at the spout of your faucet, that is because new water is introduced each time you turn it on, Once water disperses it mineral and corrosive proerties it is then nutrilized. This is why water makes an effective coolant in engines, and frozen yogurt machines ......

You mean the outside of the piping....... :scared:

Yep yep! They probably have already darkened from handling with the acids in your hands/skin. Polish them a bit with steel wool, wipe em down with alcohol and give em a shot of clear from a rattle can. :thumbsup:

Thats gonna be hard since they're in the case already. Only other thing i can think of to do that now would be clear nail polish. Short of taling them out to coat them.. But yea i agree. the copper won't stay bright unless it's coated. Still a matter of taste. But i would be a shame to see it turn dullk

That is what I meant also :)

Not doing anything, age will only help in the industrial type theme I was shooting for

Nice idea.:thumbsup:

Yea I was trying to get some pics of the lighting, but my POS camera is not up to it, here's one all blurry though

the lighting is real sutuile in person

That's a very neat looking setup :)

Wow dude, have not seen you around in a while, how ya doin these days ?

Haha yeah I know, think I'll make a thread saying hey everyone.

I'm not doing too badly, haven't been benching for a while though :(

I'll make a thread :P

yea though many Benchtek members went to OCN with gappo

Still wiating on the front panel connectors but the rest of the wiring is complete, Hoping to get an OS on it this weekend. Then see what type of results I can get with this 24/7 rig

Sorry some of these pics suck pretty bad

looks fantastic bud!

:thumbsup: Awesome sauce!

jEEZE thats pretty bitchin mang.

Finally done................ :thumbsup:
OS going on this weekend, testing pump and fan speeds to find optimal, my guess is on full .......... :laughing:

Clock it up bench it and load crysis 3, have been holding out for this as I want to pin it to the wall in 3D ..... :gun6:

wish MD has that luck of yours xD
looks sick man! it is truly beautiful

3Dizzle!

Nice, I love MSI boards!! Not had one that would clock to high but there well made.
