Yeah ill take pictures while i assemble, dunno how im going to layout in the water loop yet. I may go dual loop, i may go single, not sure yet. Yeah there nice and damn expensive, too expensive!
ur case is 900D yea? ur gna have heaps of space man for ur rads.. and them some. i'm real happy with my one
Yeah its 900D and its a bit big but cant complain as its easy to work with and theres tons of room. Anyhow some more pics, i got the motherboard monoblock mounted along with installing in the 900D. This waterblock covers the whole cpu, vrm/mosfets and PCH chip (SB). The benefits are that theres only 2 ports an inlet and oulet instead of the usual 6 or 8 ports when cooling the same architecture. Also should be lower temps as heat is spread of a large wide area. If you going X99 Haswell E i would definitely look out for one of these waterblocks in the future as its a brilliant idea. Also assembled and attached the Pump to the Koolance bay reservoir. I have another one of these pumps in my current rig, a swiftech one. The Alphacool one is able to pump more litres of water around per hour than any other type of D5 variation at the same speed. Need a 90 degree Bitspower fitting and a Bitspower Ball valve so build is on hold for short while. [/URL]
That motherboard looks great especially with the block on. Does the all in one CPU block affect performance at all - will be interested to see temps.
Thankyou. I would go for 2x780ti's but with 3GB of ram Nvidia can shove it lol. Ill wait for probably a 790 if it appears or 880's. This time around hopefully is a 790 does appear it will have much more vram, hopefully around 4GB+. If this is the case ill grab 2 of them and slap some blocks on them. Thankyou Mike. Apparently its spread over a more wider area so your temps maybe slightly lower. Its great for routing the tubing, also the block is a high flow block so can work with weaker pumps and generally better flow with all types of pumps.
Thankyou Tj. I could but i prefer Nvidia and custom AA, that is the only reason why i continue to buy Nvidia.
Interesting. Definitely an advantage with tubing. I'll have to keep an eye out next time I upgrade my board.
Thanks guys, im still waiting on a Bitspower Ball Valve and new Lamptron Fan controller. Should be here by friday, also ive had some things delivered today.... More Bitspower fittings Molex extractor kit 1:2 Heatshrink (3m) 4mm Black cable braid (5m) 4x3 fan splitters
Bit of a delay due to no specific Bitspower parts in the UK and a cockup with Watercooling.uk which you can see from this thread. http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=390353 Ok now i have all my parts after what seemed like an eternity, ill be working on this over the weekend. Braided the cables on the waterpump. Cable braid and heatshrink. Aquaero fan controller. Waterblock for the Aquaero, Bitspower Ballvalve, 90 degree Bitspower Elbow, couple of Bitspower Barbs for Aquaero waterblock and Bitspower Rotary. Bitspower 3 way connector and Bitspower blanking plug. 3 way Fan splitters. Aquaero with thermal pads and Waterblock installed. More to come soon!
Yeap because im running atleast 3 fans on 1 channel, each channel can take 30 w. When you dial down the fans speed say from 1650rpm to say 800rpm or even turn the fans of completely ( Desktop, Web surfing etc) the Mosfets become very very hot hence the waterblock. When the mosfets become hot the fans will ramp up to there rated speed, in my case that will be 1650 rpm until the mosfets cool down. The solution is to watercool them or have multiple fan controllers with 1 fan per channel.
