My Corsair H80 mod

[overdrive]

Edit: New pictures here (Changed the reservoir just for looks)

My Corsair H80 pump started rattling a while back and I got a replacement. Now the replacement started rattling again.

Whats the solution, .....

As Linus says, Guetto Mod it.

 

Without further ado here it is.

First I removed the pump from the cpu block, to better the water flow. (I left the base part of the pump, so it would not leak)

Used a Dc-Lt pump with the alphacool Top Plexi, connected to a reservoir. Then ran the tubes to the original locations.

Tubes used were Koolance ID 6.4 mm (1/4), OD 9.5 mm (3/8)

 

Sorry for the crappy pictures, took them with my cellphone directly to photobucket. Hope you like it.

Haha, the photobucket app kinda crapped out the pics,.... even more than they were.

How good does it actually work? Pretty cool

Using an i7 2600k, 29 *C in Idle

 

Passed intel burntest with the OC at 4.5 Ghz

Using the burntest Hottest it got was 61 *C, using just 1 fan on the rad.

By the way, The corsair Light up Logo is on just for show. It is not connected to the pump or the fans

Added the second Fan now that i got a controller, and the temps are:

28* in idle, and 52* during intel burn test on high setting. :)

Price ? And because when he probably first got it, the 105 wasn't still out.

Havent logged in for a while. Basically I started this rig back in 2011, I wasted all my money on i7 , maximus MB and the 600t. So had to choose middle tier stuff for the rest of the components. Been building it up since then. Now finally getting up to properly watercool the CPU and GPu's. 

But couldnt wait to see the new reservoir inside so I redid the Mod in the meantime I get the new rad's and block's.
