Officially up and running now so...

the front is designed to be up against the wall (See first pic) but I moved it out 6" for the photo

The reflection is spookily vivid looks like I have four resses 😛

just tweaking now with the overclocks 😛

Those are some good looking reservoirs...so, now that we have that said...how does the spirals and the empty space work in there? Are the spirals solid and UV reactive and the res is the space around them, or do the spirals actually contain water flowing in the loop?

(this has always been a question I've had on these)

 

[Motopsychojdn]

The original ones had the fluid inside the helices,
the V2's have solid ones and the liquid is in the space around them
They are uv reactive, the cathodes are uv so they react to that, plus if you have uv fluid it looks 'cool' not my thing but some folks must like the idea or it wouldn't get sold lol
due to my erm, 'ingenious' (Stupid and over-engineered) design,
filling/bleeding was a cakewalk....
I have the tiniest bubble in one res still but the are 99.99% chock full of water so no waves or tidelines hehe

Very interesting. I could see how the V1's could be a complete disaster if a helix cracked or leaked. Would also be cool if you could run an inside/outside setup...2 loops, different colors for a cool effect, but 2 helices aren't really conducive to being much of an actual 'reservoir'.

I like them...very clean looking.

I reckon he'd make one like that if you asked, diameter would be increased due to extra ports required ofc, but yes, no real capacity in the twisty parts 🙂

[rubix_1011]

Yeah...I might give it a try to see if I can make one...just to see if I can. If I actually had time.

 

[Motopsychojdn]

I reckon it would be an experience making it hehe

Motopsychojdn that is one wicked looking pc!! Awesome job!! Got some great idea's there.

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Thanks upgrade

Cpu and Gpu and hwm pics for now

I'm still tweaking while I wait for the paste to bed in properly, gfx is about 28000 on 3dvantage but I'm unsure that everythings set up and running right so its almost there,

Did you mean that you've got some ideas from it?
I'd be interested to see what I've inspired if thats the case 🙂

Last time I said that, HR showed up for a meeting.

Plausible deniability anyone? 🙂

hey just curious is your case storm sniper, and where can i get a hard drive case like the one you have here? really nice build by the way,id like to do something simular.

The case is a Corsair Graphite 600T

o ok well the basic layout of your case is the same as mine, just thought the places for cable management was installed by you. anyway, the hard drive stand. did you buy it and from where? and is what you have enough to cool two 570's and a 2500k @ 4.5? havent oc'ed yet, just looking for the best internal cooling solution and yours looks like the best for my case.

 

[wolfram23]

Might as well contribute!

My finally finished (for now, of course) internally watercooled Antec 900 II!

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Now I just know your flipping that Psu and tidying those cables up aren't you?
Gratz on finishing though man

Thanks Moto!

To be honest though, I don't see the point in flipping the PSU. As it is now it works as an exhaust, so it seems beneficial to me. But yeah, tidying up cables... ugh. I'm not very good at it lol. I've done what I can for now, really. Those bright red SATA cables do kind of tick me off though, maybe I can sleeve them or something.

Black fabric tape from egay, just dont wrap too tightly or it will undo itself, its low tack and won't hold tension 😛

I used a full roll on mine, I'll definitely be ordering more

[Motopsychojdn]

Hehe 🙂
I'm not telling people what to do with their cases, I'm just trying to show them how....
Firefly reference ftw 😛

[wolfram23]

Hmm... or I could be a total cheapo and use electrical tape =P

Ohh... blue electrical tape. That might work haha. Anyway we'll see, from my sitting angle I can't even really see it so I might just be lazy for now and leave it. Spent 3 nights on this so kind of want to, you know, use it for a while.

 

[Motopsychojdn]

The leccy tape actually looks quite good, although it goes stiff as hell so its best to route before taping but yeah,
Sit back and relax a while hehe

that is the stock cage from the case, there are alternative mounting solutions for the HD cages.

What I have in there should be enough for SLI GPUs and CPU all OC'd.

We all start out somewhere...don't get too down on yourself. Learning for yourself is far more powerful than asking someone to just give you the answers.
