Maxwit44's Water Cooling fun in the Phantek Pro.
As Promised Guys, here some updates of my Phanteks Enthoo Pro build. The build is now completed. I've stress tested this build with Folding @ Home. The top temp is 50 degrees C and even lower when gaming (barely hits 40 degrees).
So what do we have:
Enthoo Pro Case,
i5 4690 Intel CPU
MSI Gaming 7 Z97 mobo
MSI Gaming GTX780 6gb
16 gig of Corsair Vengence 2133mhz ram
1 x Samsung 840 256 gig SSD
3 x Western Dig 1 TB
1 x Segate Barracuda 1 TB
1 x Toshiba 2 TB
1 x Western Dig 750gig
Seasonic G series 750w Semi modular Power supply
XSPC: 360mm rad, 240mm multiport Rad, Photon 170 Res, Raystorm GTX water block, Raystorm CPU block, Extension fittings
Bits power Fittings and tube
EK D5 Vario waterpump.
So I got the case home, pulled it down, and checked to see if the multiport rad would fit in the front natively, nope. two cuts later and it did. With Phoybia slim 15mm fans on the front, and the dust filter removed the front of the case fits down nicely. I ran solid 90 fittings off the top of the 240 multi rad and inverted it, so the tubing would fit under the drive bays. As luck would have it, it did. The bottom drive mount took a little convincing to get back in, but it did fit.
So I put the pump under the PSU cover. its out of the way and I really didn't want it visible. The res wouldn't fit on the included res mount, because the gpu card was too long. So I mounted it on the back wall above the PCI slots. I put the 360 rad in the top with the fans in push config. I reckon you could fit the slims in the roof too. I'm going to get some more and see what happens.
Running the tube was pretty straight forward. Being my first water build in 7 years, things have defiantly progressed for the better. This was my first time doing hardline tubing. I really did bite off more than I should have. But anyway, it turned out ok. I'll redo the tubing in 12 months, when I change the coolant out. Getting good straight and wrinkle free bends is hard. I found the key was good heat and lots of it, and patience.
Anyway, all the fans, XSPC 120mm and the Phoybia's are all hooked in the fan splitter on the back, all controlled off the CPU 1 header. Case fan is off the SYSFAN_1 and is set to turn on at 50 degrees C.
I'm hoping to get another gpu and SLI, but having troubles finding one at a good price. But I'm in no rush.
So I have My AMD folding build waiting on a gpu water block that's almost here from Germany (GTX570) cause its the only decent one that I could find that will actually work. I'll post more about that later.
Feel free to ask questions etc. I'll add more photos when I can get my camera to work, lost about 6-7 photos. Enjoy.
If your gonna fan boy out, go posting about non-k cpu in this build, non ti gpu, blah blah blah, frankly I don't give a shit. My build, My PC, My money.
