[WIP] Black Ti (Caselabs, R4BE, 4930k, GTX 780 Ti SLI, Acrylic Tubing)

[WildTurtle]

Update #3

 

Here's is a gallery for you guys for the case I have chosen. Don't mind the missing switch. I am replacing the Lamptron switches that Caselabs ships to "proper" Belgin switches. See you guys in the next update!

Enjoy

Horizontal ATX motherboard Tray

 

 

Triple 120 Radiator side mount, a monsta will find its home down there

 

 

The accessory mount where I will be mounting my Aqualis System. The UT60 240 will be mounted in the front mount.

 

 

Triple 120 Radiator top mount, another resting place for a monsta

 

 

The covers go on!

That's actually the exact case I've been planning to get for my future build. It's classy and small enough to fit on top of my table. I've looked at the Enthoo and 900D and the problem is their huge size and lack of customization. Also, from what I've read I don't know if a 80mm will clear the top rad mounts. I see that you have the top accessory so that might not be an issue.

I measured It today, a monsta can fit in the roof and the side with the fans on the outside. There's also room to  vertically mount the 880ml aqualis with the pump and pump adapter on the accessory plate.

 GPU Waterblocks will be coming in on Monday so look forward to that!

You should definitely get the pedestal for future cooling potential  B)

[WildTurtle]

For a CPU and 2 GPUs i think 2 360 monstas and a 240 UT60 is good enough. That CPU hits 4.9 ghz @ 1.4V.

Never can have enough rads. Think about it, you can even put a phase change cooler in the pedestal.

haha that would be a dream Well Im going to be running the fans @ 5V so this system should be dead quiet.

Yes, I would call that sufficient. And if it really turns out not to be, you can always

add more rad power later on.

Also: Caselabs :wub:

EDIT:

Side note: I'm currently cooling one Titan, two 130W CPUs and the

rather hot 5520 chipset with one HardwareLabs SR-1 560 rad, which

has a core thickness of less than 40 mm. Fans are barely spinning,

temps are at about 43 C to 50 C for CPUs and GPU when system is

under full load (BOINC running on both CPUs and the GPU, total heat

dissipation about 550 W). Just as a frame of reference.

Ahh very interesting. I think the radiator space I have will more than enough for my build. Especially with AP-15s @ 5V. I'm just glad my 4930k hits 4.9 ghz at not a stupidly high voltage

I don't remember the core thickness on the Monsta, but yeah, it should suffice.

You could run them in push/pull if you want more cooling capacity, the Monstas

benefit quite a bit from that, but obviously that's more money for fans and

25 mm more thickness.

[WildTurtle]

The Core thickness on Monstas are 66mm.

Radiators are 86mm thick with 10mm guards on both sides.

[VSG]

Nope, they are 80mm thick with 3mm of housing on each side. This is from personal measurements, as well as from the Alphacool, PPC and the Specialtech.co.uk reps on OCN.

Interesting, I swear I read that it was 10mm cards on each side. Just did a measurement, it is indeed 80mm. Don't I look silly

[VSG]

Nah, you just got 14 more mm of cooling

I think you might have gotten the 86 mm from Aquatuning, they list the

thickness as 86 mm.

Curious... :huh:

I believe even TastyPC had mentioned it in her review of Alphacool Radiator Line. Let me get a good ruler out and do some measurements

 

EDIT: @VSG @alpenwasser. Just did some measurements. The total thickness is 86mm and they do have 1cm gaurd along the edge of the radiator on both sides, which makes the radiator core thickness 66mm.

[alpenwasser]

Just did some measurements there is a 1cm housing around the radiator on both sides. Monstas have 66mm of radiator core thickness and a total thickness of 86mm. I believe even TastyPC had mentioned it in her review of Alphacool Radiator Line.

Hm, interesting. According to Alphacool's website, the rad dimensions are as follows:

• single 120: 160 × 124 × 86 mm³
• single 140: 186 × 144 × 86 mm³
• single 180: 225 × 182 × 85 mm³
• dual 120:   124 × 279 × 80 mm³
• dual 140:   324 × 144 × 86 mm³
• dual 180:   405 × 182 × 85 mm³
• triple 120: 124 × 399 × 80 mm³
• triple 140: 468 × 144 × 86 mm³
• triple 180: 585 × 182 × 85 mm³
• quad 120:   124 × 552 × 80 mm³
• quad 140:   607 × 144 × 86 mm³

So it appears to me that either not all Monsta rads are the same thickness,

or maybe they revised the specs and now all the rads are a different thickness

than the original production runs, but they forgot to update the spec sheets.

Somebody needs to buy all the Monsta rads and measure this! :lol:

Interesting. I just measured one of the 360, they are 86mm total thickness with 1cm guards.

So it would appear that Alphacool's specs are out of date...

 

Gotta love it when manufacturers don't keep their sites synced with

the actual products.

Haha yea. Makes it a lot harder to spec of builds without having the product in your hands.

[VSG]

Total thickness is indeed 86 mm, the core itself should be 80mm. At least it is for my 480 Monsta.

Just measured a 360 monsta it has 1cm guards. I have a 480 here it also has 1cm guards. They must have changed it without mentioning it.

That's weird. When did you get yours?

Update #4

 

Just got my GPU blocks today! Here's some pictures for you guys as well as a test fit of my progress so far, hope you enjoy!

 

Should have another update soon when I get more radiators, fittings and the acrylic tubing. My sleeving order from Icemodz is almost finished as well

 

 

The Block

 

 

 

 

The Backplate

 

 

All padded up and ready for action

 

 

Test fitting

 

 

 

 

Some shots of the CPU Block, Just looks too good.
