Phobya WaCoolT Test Bench

[RJF049]

Hey! I am fairly new here and new to tech forums :) excited! So I recently moved my rig from a Corsair c70 case to an open air test bench. No real big reason other then I love the look of open benches. This is my everything rig. I do all mah digital art and gaming and web browsing and photo editing on it.

 

Current specs:

ASUS Rampage IV Formula
i7 3930k running @ stock speeds

GTX 680

Kingston HyperX genesis tenth anniversary edition ram 16 GB @ 1866mhz because i cant get the speeds stable at any higher right now :(

ASUS xonar essence STX sound card

INTEL SSD 520 series 120GB
Seagate Barracuda 2 TB HHD

WD 250 GB HHD (Just because i have important files on it and have been too lazy to move them all to my seagate)

Corsair AX750 PSU

Phobya WaCoolT Test Bench

 

Cooling:

Swiftech Apogee HD cpu block

Alphacool Nexxos GTX 680 block

Alphacool Nexxos UT60 360 Radiator

XSPC 120 radiator

EK-RES X3 110 Reservoir

Swiftech MCP655 with the Bitspower mod kit

Bitspower 3/8 (ID) - 5/8 (OD) Black Sparkle compression fittings

Corsair SP 120's and AP 120's for all fans

 

Ducky blue switch keyboard

Razor Deathadder black edition

Dell U2711

Sennheiser PC360 headset

 

The first photo is the old z77 rig in the Corsair C70 case. The bench has all the same cooling components and blocks. I sleeved the tubing as well for the bench rig..worst time of my life but I would do it again because it looks the ballls. It's not a perfectly clean job on a couple of them but it was a tight fit with the cloth sleeving and the compressions barely fit over it. >.< Let me know whether you liked my old rig or the new one better :)

Hahaha I am keeping supply of duster cans in stock so i can frequently clean it. I am considering making a plexi cover..idk probably not worth the trouble.

[Adler Polk]

That is some sexy tubing!

[Ham1234]

I think that the sleeved tubing is absolutely awesome.

tubing looks very nice, are you planning on overclocking sometime?

[Tomislav Matic]

[everything count to life]

wow sleeved tubing is getting popular I've seen over 10 builds use it now maybe I should sleeve my acrylic tubing :p

I have my 680 at 200 added to the base clock and 150 on the memory clock. The I do plan on OCing the cpu though yes. I just haven't had a free day to do it.

These look clean. What tubing are you using on the test bench? Looks like flex weaved tube like you would use for water filtration systems.

It's this right here http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=44_32_656&products_id=26738&zenid=d165c3a631448ddcba273db12dcdb91e

 

I used it over 3/8 tubing. The fit is REALLLY tight and took me about 6 hours to fit it over all my tubing :/ but being so tight makes it look like its manufactured like that so it was well worth it.

Nice work on the bench, I myself love the aesthetics of open test benches, my main rig is currently being built on a Dimastech bench :)

Ok, cool.The sleeve just looked like some tubing my plumber used for my under sink water filtration system. I use this http://www.frozencpu.com/products/10489/ex-tub-649/Tygon_B-44-4X_IB_Pressure_12_ID_34_OD_-_Reinforced_Inner-Braid_Imbedded_Tubing.html?tl=g30c457s1156#blank and it is a whole lot better than regular tubing. It is basically one tube over another for which makes for less kinking.
