I have the loop assembled with some cheap vinyl tube so I don't waste the good silicone tube, air is all purged, water is totally filled, just need to mount the block to the CPU later. I think I'll let it run for over night to make sure it's all working right and working OK. Without a CPU my temps are amazing! Turns out I have a plastic storage container that exactly fits under the legs I made for the Koolance case top, so that's pretty cool. I'm letting the pump live in there just in case of leaks.

So WOW the Koolance control board makes some heat. There's a couple passive heat sinks for a pair of MOFSET and a big transformer on the board too. I need to rig some kind of small quiet fan to get some airflow over the board for longevity sake. I think I have just the fan for the job....if I can find it again.

Originally one of the 3 top fans in my PC2-c that blew air on the fan controller.

Not at all how mine is setup, must be an older iteration.

My case is one of the earlier models, that plastic is long since gone however.

 

Adding a fan is easy though, I can tap 5V off the Molex coming in with a splitter.

The Koolance case top is up and running cooling the Xeon X3470 at stock clocks. Temps are...about the same as a Hyper 212 would be roughly so far but with a little less noise. There's about a 20C gradient from block/water temp to CPU temp currently but the loop hasn't had time to 'soak' in the heat yet and stabilize. Still running cooler than the P4 3.4E at 4Ghz it was used on before. Temps are about 55C at full Prime95 small fft load, we shall see...

 

Eh encroaching on 60C one one core, but that core is always the hotter one. The rest are 55-57C. Not great. I think a modern CPU block would work a lot better but...aluminum radiator.

 

Well, it's settling in around 52-57C, acceptable. I'll have to see how badly it does overclocked later on. Water temp is about 28-30C.

4Ghz is lower than air, at least initially. 70-75C so far with the same load. I'm pretty sure it's this water block. I haven't tuned the voltages down yet at all, 1.328 vcore at 4Ghz, HWinfo is saying the CPU is consuming 340W of power which is just insane. The VRM heat sink and the chokes are just barely warm to the touch, this Gibabyte board is pretty awesome.

How?! I'm pushing about 100 watts on a Micro-ATX board and the VRMS are like mini GTX 480s!

Full size ATX board with VRM cooling built like a reactor casing? https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/GA-P55A-UD4P-rev-10#ov

Or HWinfo is wrong, says 255A at 1.328V is about 340W. Some of the chokes are uncomfortable to touch, maybe 110-120F, the VRM heat sink is just warm to touch.

 

So this water block is not so good, the radiator end of things seems OK albeit very rudimentary fan control and poor temp sense. It is working. Water temps are creeping up, 35C. CPU temps are holding around 75C, the loop is stabilizing. If I kick the fans up to speed 3 (full blast) it makes a lot of noise and does bring the temps down a little bit to nearer 70C but it's not worth the noise.

Just recently bought the 4850 x2 for £20 and the Foxconn board with q9400 and 2x 1gb ddr2 800 for £20. I will make a retro rig out of the parts for noisy(4850 x2) fun

That is a cool looking card!

 

 

I couldn't get the system stable at 4.0, I need to fiddle with things more so I quit for the night, I'm not sure I'll resume later either. I just wanted to know if the system works, the system works but not very well. I bet with a better water block it would but everything is copper and my radiator is aluminum so that's a no-go. I think I could replace the radiator to a copper/brass one if I got longer bolts and then run a better copper water block too....but at that point I'm pretty sure I'm better off building a loop from cheap parts than I am messing with this one more. The ancient water block design just doesn't work out with the heat load from this CPU, it might be OK with something lower wattage but an air cooler would be simpler for that. I might be able to recycle something like the pump/reservoir IF it's running on 12V but I'm not even sure it does.

I have an old Osborne 1 somewhere, I will have to dig  it out and take a shot or two. Think it is in my fathers attic.

 

Places where I have worked have systems that use punch cards to program just kept as they never got chucked out. I think there may be some magnetic core memory sat in a cupboard on one of those sites. I might take a shot or two of that if I get to there again.

 

Just 7 years ago I still had to work on some old IBM tape sleds, they used 8" floppy drives for setup and the running code. Lots of fun they were.

You can always throw a resistor on the fan harness to slow it down some, those Socket 7 fans were not speed sense or speed controlled and with a decently sized hunk of aluminum not a lot of airflow is needed, an 80MM blowing across the board would suffice. Socket 370 heat sinks will work, one like this may even passively cool a socket 7 CPU if it's not clocked up real high.
