600T transforms into Enthoo

EldarNi

Hi everyone

Here is my little story. I had a gaming PC with the next specs:

Corsair 600t white

Asus p8z77-v

intel 3570k

8Gb of Corsair memory

256Gb Samsung 830 SSD

4 HDDs (1,5 + 2 +3 +3)

Asus 7970 Direct CUII Top

Creative Platinum X-Fi Fatal1ty 64mb

and Corsair AX750 power supply

Pretty much a standard gaming PC

But one day I found a bundle of water cooling components on ebay and I've decided to do a water cooling setup.

It was an XSPC dual bay D5 pump with reservoir, Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 360 mm radiator (as I thought), 3 Noctua NF-P12 fans and 2 Typhoon 1450 fans. Everything's for £105 pounds. Good isn't it?

But a seller have sent to me an UT60 radiator and here is my "problems"/journey began =)

 

I've ordered:

Phobya 200 mm radiator

White Primoflex tubing

Alphacool fittings and Koolance Quick Disconnects

XSPC Raystorm water-block

EK 7970 DCII water-block (I need to say it's a very rare item)

 

a week later there was a sale of Asus 7970's so I've decided to get a second card for £227

Here is my beauty

But the temps have risen up to 95c

... I needed a second water-block asap.

I bought NexXxoS ST30 240 mm as well.

 

 

It took 2 more weeks before I got all the components

The next step was dismounting all the hardware and radiator flushing.

For the radiator cleaning I've used my HDD external box. Have connected a pump and here we go

This small metal bits came out of 240 mm radiator

It's about 3-4 mm long.

Hi, I'm currently have a Samsung s27a750d. It's a nice 3D 1080p monitor.

Update.

It was really difficult to get all bubbles out of loop. At some point I wanted to replace my xspc dual bay res with monsoon but did some research first and here is the method:
The problem is within the inlet, it goes straight into pump so and do bubbles.
The easy way to deal with this - block the bubbles with a half-cut tube, to divert them aside.

egallery_10692_617_188930.jpg

 

 

And here we take even smaller piece of tube just to redirect a flow.

gallery_10692_617_267613.jpggallery_10692_617_192912.jpg

 

With this method I've got a bubble-free loop much much faster.

I'm going to drill 4 holes just for the central fan.

I prefer the second option.

The stand I've used for the rad is EK-Uni Rad Holder 120
