Ok this is the last and final completion of my build, and I now have install a third Dual Radiator here is the link

with my window open my temps are 24 22 24 23 on idle but one full load they are 49,44,45,47

Now with the windows close shut, Temps are idle at 35 31 33 33, but full load they are 62 56 54 58
(note only test the system with Prime95 for 24 hours and these are the results) - these are the MAX temps

Quite nice...very clean. If you are noticing warmer temps with the case closed, you have an airflow issue to address. Upgrading your fans should help address this.

No warmer temps at all..I understand, when the window is closed, correct?

I know it's overkill for a 4.0Ghz system of a P55 i5 750 chip but I am thinking of getting two 580's or one 590
but I want them to have waterblocks already on them, that is my reason of the three Radiators

 

[rubix_1011]

Ah, my fault...I read that too fast. Windows open...not the side of your case. My mistake.

Ahhhhh, well I was comparing temps with window open and window close and both are excellent temp read outs

So how I have the two res/pumps connect is that I have the last line coming from the third Radiator switch is on the bottom of the case going out to the first REV/PUMP and them to the second REV/PUMP to the first Radiator switch is going to the CPU and from the CPU going to the Radiator outside the case and from that Radiator to the GPU and from the GPU to the Last Radiator

This last photo is a custom cut out made from cardboard I've did.

This is it,

Now my temps

Looks to me like his room has airflow issues rubix,
Keiki, give us a room diagram and I'll draw up some modding plans for some hypercooling hehe

I'm liking the grill on top too man, can you maybe rout that design out of black acrylic?

I did say and I quote " Now with the windows close shut, Temps are idle at 35 31 33 33, but full load they are 62 56 54 58
(note only test the system with Prime95 for 24 hours and these are the results) - these are the MAX temps"

NO I don't have airflow issues due to my options with my 2 windows,
one windows is on the left and the other is on the right...
even with the side window panel with a 230mm fan these are the temps
about the Grill, well it's a temp solution until I make a custom one out of acrylic

 

[Motopsychojdn]

^ I know man, I picked up the window/sidepanel so no worries,
I was just being humourous saying that as your temps went up with your window open, the solution lay in the rooms airflow, sorry for the confusion but I wasn't picking at you man
look forward to the grill as well, at least you know it looks good from the card mock up

I paid Customs yesterday and my twin virus resses are arriving monday so depending on how fast I can get in gear, should be up monday/tuesday

[Keiki646]

OK EVERYONE, I know you guys wasn't into the red/orange color of my case and thank to you I'd re-paint my computer case

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Nice job
Posted a pic of the Psycho Rider in members builds, can't post here as incomplete build atm 😛
Resses here monday though

[rubix_1011]

Keiki- nice build, my friend. How did you paint the case? Spray paint or did you airbrush it?

 

[Keiki646]

Just spray paint it a few times, 3 cans of paint

My Mobo and cards are out for leak testing tomorrow but technically the build is finished so......
Heres the Psycho Rider
(and a P.c. I built too 😛)

And an archive shot of the cards in place

looking preetty good to my eyes, what do you all think of her?
Moto

 

[rubix_1011]

Those are nice looking...what is your impression of them in person?

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Cards:
I am so glad i held out for them, they are the perfect size for the build, once its up and running I'll tell you what they perform like on a poor little 1680x1050 screen, I just hope my fps on farmville will be ok 😛

Resses: mixed bag atm, They are awesome visually, you want to touch them lol
I got two different plugs on mine (one screwcut one not) but thats minor and easily resolved
But I am so, so ,so damn pleased that I chose them
maybe I'll swap the mounts for ones an inch higher but all in all,
I'm bloody made up mate, even at the cost they are well worth it

Well here's my new (and first) watercooling build. I originally had started with a fractal design case, but as you can see...I went for something...bigger

Here's whats in it:

Intel Core i7 960 OCed to 4ghz
Asus Sabretooth x58 mobo
2x Gigabte GTX 580 sli
120gb OCZ Vertex2 (i think it's 2) SSD
Samsung 2TB 7200 rpm HDD
6GB Kingston HyperX Triple channel ram
Lamptron Tocuh fan controller
Fractal Design 1000W power supply

The watercooling components are:

2 EK GTX 580 waterblocks
EK HF Supreme CPU Block
HUGE EK Res (you'll see it in the photos)
D5 Vario pump
1 EK 480 Radiator that comes before the CPU (will incorporate mobo with either my upgrade to a 2600k or more likely IB)
2 EK 360mm Radiators before going to the GPUs
Using EK's special clear WC fluid that glows blue in UV light (i know people have issues with anything that isn't distilled water but meh )
To keep the radiators and PC cool, I've used fractal design fans (really quiet)

 

[rubix_1011]

How are all of you guys liking those EK SLI bridges? (especially those of you who have used older SLI connectors or even just ran tubing between cards?)

I'd be curious as to user experiences for pros/cons compared with older setups. Very clean build, scopey86.

 

[scopey86]

To be honest I have nothing to compare it to, it's part of my first build ^^. But the theory behind it is nice: since the liquid enters both blocks simultaneously the liquid isn't going to the second one at a higher temp than the first. Thanks for the compliment, so far I'm loving the system. Now if only I could get DX:HR to stop crashing on me I'd be happy. Also thinking about getting a bunch more uv LEDs to really make the fluid light up

 

[rubix_1011]

That res looks bigger than the ones that I build myself. Damn.

 

[tjosborne]

Upgrade complete!
New additions: EVGA Nvidia GTX 580 FTW Hydro 2 copper, phobya 200mm radiator and swiftech 120mm radiator
