Motivation - A Multi-platform Journy

[mattlef]

Hey Everyone.

Expect a few updates in the next coming days.
I built the loop on monday morning.... but like an idiot I pulled out the pumps 12v cable from its crimp....  So i spent a lot of time Tuesday coming up with a fix. Which I'm happy to say i have with a bit of heatshrink and some well, inspiration lol. The loop is going and temps are great.... but I dont like the look of the tube, and the tube routing. Things are 100% going to change.

Pics tonight or tomorrow..... we'll call this a Beta build  because there is a lot more to come and this was just testing out the bugs!

Wow! The sleeving really is amazing. Great job so far!

[Nicktrance]

That sleeving/colour scheme looks really awesome and unique

[mattlef]

So the system has been set up for a few days now,

 

Everything running on air, temps were okay, but its about time i get this thing under water.

Up top we have an XSPC EX480 with SP120's in push pull. They're a little loud but I plan on throwing in the Corsair Link System to control the speeds. 

 

 

In the bottom, we have a Phobya 480 G-Changer V2. Using AF120's for now. (I have 4 left.... giveaways? ;))

I think it looks pretty good as is.... would be a shame to tear it down wouldnt it?

 

 

I'm sure these fans will do a great job, however I do want some SP120s there, i think the higher static air pressure will help in cooling at slower speeds.

 

Let the tear down begin!!!

 

 

Pulling apart the GTX660ti's

 

Man galaxy makes some nice cards

 

 

 

 

more later ;)

 

 

Thanks guys!!!! Any don't forget to follow.

A quick question,

 

Who here would like to see a video walk through on how to sleeve your PSU but using the sleeveless method?

Would you guys be interested in that?

[Banana_Molester]

why u no SP FANS

[mattlef]

why u no SP FANS

 

I know!!!

 

I have 8x SP120s in push pull up top. I need 4 more for the bottom. Using the AF120's for now, until i can get my hands on some more SP120's

 

No worries, 100% temporary

Wouldn't mind to see ur process.

I'm curious to see how you did it. Please upload one.

 

BTW, awesome work so far.  :D

Looks Great

Hey Everyone!

 

Sleeving tutorial is up!

I'm working on upping the production quality. I've ordered a few things that should help. Lights, a stability mount for the camera, and potentially an extrenal mic (would need a new cam though, the T1i doesnt have the connections needed :S)

 

 

So heres the video!

Can i have the fans ;P ? I'm making a black/red build in a survivor

Really that easy?, Great tutorial by the way just watched it, though it was a tad more complex than that, quick question, how secure is the sleeving over time without heat shrink?

Because your melting it onto the crimp and onto the cable itself, its pretty damned sturdy. this method can stand up to a lot more abuse than sleeved.

 

that and it looks great!

 

 

 

Oh, i have another video encoding, so will add it soon

Well,

Some time this week i'm going to announce a giveaway package and how to get it.

u no that the blue part is cooler part of the flame  :mellow:

[mattlef]

u no that the blue part is cooler part of the flame  :mellow:

 

Thanks for the comment Gamebozzo  

I appreciate the visit

 

I dont think that is correct however. The blue part of the flame is hotter because it has a shorter wave length, the molecules are closer together when they move, therefore hotter

Actually blue is the hottest part. The heat for a flame from coolest to hottest is red, orange , yellow, blue, and then white I believe.

srry i was thinking in terms of combustion, then i remebered u rnt burning the heatshrink, so technically, the blue is the hottest part but to be fair :P (i feel so stupid)

[Youbetternot]

 

Hey guys, new video is up

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRVpNdYKKXQ

 

As well, i decided to take a few pics, showing you what watercooling bits I'll be using.

 

but first Caffeine and a brown box!

 

Inside of it?

 

My MCP655, with a alphacool top. Love this thing, and i love the copper stoppers

 

Now, i do plan on using compression fittings, like in my previous build.

However, i plan on using some smaller ones. i'll go in more detail later ;)

for now, just take a look  

 

Attack of the clones!!!

I don't think that's correct. I'm not a chemist, so if anyone has reliable sources on this

feel free to point out where I've gone wrong if that's the case, but this is what I remember

from my thermo lectures and what I've been able to find on the internet:

From the Wikipedia article on flames, section "Flame Color":

The colder part of a diffusion (incomplete combustion) flame will be red, transitioning to orange, yellow, and white as the temperature increases as evidenced by changes in the black-body radiation spectrum. For a given flame's region, the closer to white on this scale, the hotter that section of the flame is. The transitions are often apparent in fires, in which the color emitted closest to the fuel is white, with an orange section above it, and reddish flames the highest of all. A blue-colored flame only emerges when the amount of soot decreases and the blue emissions from excited molecular radicals become dominant, though the blue can often be seen near the base of candles where airborne soot is less concentrated.

I couldn't find a definitive link between blue and temperature in the wiki article, so I kept

digging.

Interestingly, this article brings in another topic, which is not the highest

temperature but the most available heat, which seems to be more towards the flame's tip:

 

What I'm telling you is that your wife is technically right. The blue part of the flame is the hottest, not the white part. But a manly man is more concerned about the real world - as we saw above (show her the graph), there's more total heat in the tip of the flame, so that's the part you want to use to light the fire. In other words, while she's got a better grasp of theory, you're going to get the fire lit sooner. I'm not saying you won't get an argument as far as your bet goes. But put it to her this way: The price of clean laundry is raw steak.

So: Blue seems to be the point of highest temperature in carbo-fuel flames, while the flame's

tip is most useful for getting the job done? Did not expect that result, may have to do more

research. Although considering how complex the subject is I recon that might take a few years :lol:

EDIT: Aaargh, too slow. That's the price of doing research. :lol:

Hooray I could actually have case fans instead of nothing :D

[Axis]

lol  i loved the video man!

 

i liked how you beeped some words but we could hear them anyway ahahahaa!

 

great work Emma!

[TaiGeXGaming]

Loving that custom cable job you've done - Especially loving the tutorial!  Keep it up man :D
