just shows how smart we really are :sol: though I also remember having to remove the front left tire off our Chevy caprice classic. Didn't realize there was an adapter that was in the dashboard to help loosen a bolt on the tire-> funny thing was that the adapter was actually proprietary to our car(and other american cars I suppose) so no matter what you did, you'd still need to use that adapter to only loosen one bolt
 
:lol: yeap thas what happened actually, called a mechanic over to my car location and:

mech: where's the adapter for this bolt?
me: huh?
mech: did you get one?
me: there is one?
mech: *reaches for my dash and pulls out an adapter from my glove compartment thas still intact as it came from the dealership.*
me: oh that adapter
...
and the mechanic spent the next bolt opening time telling me what it does -> so yeah I learnt my lesson and now read up on the manual before operation 😀 ofc after I finish looking at the goodies in the box 😛
 
** I'm sure there's an overclocking guide for your Phenom on here...? **
There is, its how I started learning to clock :)

Two x3 435's and this one so far hehe

**You're running your CPU and GPUs in the same loop?**
A loop for the race of processors, a Loop for the race of Gpu's, and One loop to bind them 😛
All on one for the moment although splitting was a possibility I'd considered, don't forget I have a rebuild coming and it may be a part of that

You know my view on instructions Ry, I think its posted further up in this thread :)
Bit of Christmas shopping to do tomorrow so no playing on the clocking front, might mod those fans in (Have to find them first 😛)
and mount the sensor display though, solder a few extensions up, just odd jobs to make life easier when the work starts

I modded the two fans I bought onto the Lid and threw away the old dual spindle thing,
after a bit of research its a Yate loon M-327 icebox fan, I can't find any CFM specs anywhere so I'm assuming my two 80mm 25Cfm fans are a suitable replacement,
the noise is definitely bearable now hehe
and I modded the Xspc sensor display into a useful location,

I just have to find the time to insulate the tubing and rebuild the rest of the rig lol
**Ok, five hours later,
Ambient is 19.5'C, water in the loop is 20.69'C with all fans on low and the chillers water temp is 13'C
I reckon its had time to balance itself out so I'm saying my chiller gives me a 6'C drop (unloaded ofc)
once its hooked up to the loop and we have heat rolling in there it may drop to a much lower measurement, possibly back up to ambient temps but time will tell,
Don't forget I'm still adamant on the rads getting rid of the heat before it gets to the chiller, and hopefully I'm sat in the margin where my rads aren't working against me by raising the temps,
We shall see :)

The internal fan just died (condensation inside the cooler probably) so I'm currently just wafting air over the hotsides heatsink,
It was a possible event so not completely surprised 😛
but the hotsides the one to be worried about if the fan fails,
If you are serious about me making you one P.m. me and we'll see what we can do,
and yes, I would autograph it for you mate :)

well I could always look up your thread and make one myself - however I'd love to reverse engineer it to something smaller and see if I can pass the idea off to Ryan.

Seriously though, My goal is to cool the chip to a good level and overclock it while cooling. Not savy on getting benchmarks galore just something cool and quiet for the foreseeable future. I had to work alot to get the Q9550 in my hands that I have now. Haven't even pushed it to 3.4GHz 3.2 was the highest I went on it for a few hours thas all.

My Achilles heel was the H50 mod.

Shipping would be crazy on my end and If I know you+your humor, I know you'll fill the entire tub/tank with liquid mercury and ship it to me :lol:

your chillerbox, reminds me of an external canister filter for aquariums...yeap I'm also tropical fish crazy 😀
 
Do you have any idea how much 14L of mercury would cost??
its the main reason preventing me from using liquid metal as a coolant, that, the poisonous nature of it and the pumps required to chug it round a loop 😛
You are more than welcome to reverse engineer it man with the bonus of I'm on call to help out if I can

one of these, Swap it for the one in http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EZETIL-E15-THERMOELECTRIC-COOLER-12V-COOLBOX-TURQUOISE-WHITE-14L-308x207x396MM-/350675941932?pt=UK_TravelTickets_Accessories_RL&hash=item51a5ea3a2c
power it off a Psu that can give you 20+A on a 12v line and you are cooling like a penguins wife, angry at him for staying out late with the boys,
don't forget an 80mm fan to replace the turbine volume thing in there 😛
Pick a colour for your sensor display,

they run off 5v so one molex extension will feed everything

Now you understand why they used the fans they did, right?

This is idling with no heat load at all, it will be a far different story when you add the generated heat from the CPU and GPUs to the water.

You'll get far better results when you finally mount a water block to the cold side of the peltier and directly pick up it's cold output as a matter of fact I think there's someone here with a thread doing just that, wonder who it could be, Oh Well I'm sure it will come to me later! :)

Presently my water temperature is 11c enjoying a 15c idle with my CPU overclocked to 4.5ghz and that's with heat added to the setup, max load temp is 32c.



You might want to let him work the bugs out first, it's not soup yet, and definitely not champagne cork popping time.

To all: Happy Holidays and the Very Best to All!
 
**Now you understand why they used the fans they did, right**
Yup, I suspected the dual spindle thing was to avoid moisture getting into the coldside fan *Myth confirmed😛*
**I think there's someone here with a thread doing just that** Yeaqh, that does ring a bell....
**This is idling with no heat load at all, it will be a far different story when you add the generated heat from the CPU and GPUs to the water**
I did run a test with just the chiller and posted results further up Iyr
And its not the sparks in my hair I worry about, its losing the spark in my eyes :)

well it has been awhile now how is this going anyway?

Can't link to your other build it's dead but I had a question how many motors are in your loop now? and if I am right it is 3 rads in series a loop with 3 blocks and 3 res's right?
 


2 Turtle Doves and a Partridge in a Pear Tree! :)

 
Right, after a reasonably long hiatus where I sat under a Nepalese waterfall in my Calvins to contemplate to finer nuances of things...
I'm back!
And its almost rebuild time kids so buckle up cause kansas? is going bye bye!
Radbox is going to be removed from the loop permanently and the chillerbox is going to mount my 360's, the F.e. res and my T-viruses, the second pump/res is going inside the chiller and I'll be hiding cables/tubing as much as usual, but it'll be the chillerbox and main Pc from now on,
The radbox is dead, long live the chillerbox!!
Tec will be on its own switch for control purposes
