The Water Cooling Gallery

Here is my aging fractal design R5. I recently stuffed another 240mm in the bottom of the case. It didnt require much modification. I just had to slide the fwd 240mm up about an inch and secure it with 4 screws instead of 8.

 

The clearance from bottom rad to psu is made possible because the fans are under the rad. I added a picture of this. 

 

Specs:

-  9900k 5.1ghz 1.38v (adaptive oc) 

-  Msi 1080 ti gaming x 2025mhz

-  Patriot viper 3800mhz cl  17

-  Gigabyte aorus pro z390 

-  Seasonic 750w g series 

-  Crucial p1 nvme + 2 crucial mx500s

 

Cooling:

-  Ek supremacy evo + 1080ti TF6 blocks

-  Ek xres 140mm pwm ddc 3.2 pump

-  360mm ek pe + 240mm hw labs gts

-  240mm xspc ex240

-  Ekwb fittings + zmt tubing

-  mayhems x1 blue coolant

- gentle typhoons + be quiet high speed

 

Temps are 45c max on the gpu. 9900k runs around 65c max gaming. I posted a pic of cpu temps during a x264 stressor run. Cpu is not delided.

Note: I need to re-take these photos now that the coolant is 100% bubble free! I've also added sleeved black cable extensions for the gpu and motherboard so it looks a bit better.

 

This was my first try at hard tube water cooling. Before this I was using an NZXT h500 Vault Boy edition with a Corsair h115i RGB Platinum (280mm) for my CPU (great cooler by the way). Figured a bigger case would be more helpful (plus more radiators), so I chose the Lian Li O11 Razer edition.

 

Bitspower Leviathan 360XF & EK CoolStream PE 360 radiators, mostly EK fittings and about 5 from Bitspower. Tubing is a mix of Bitspower and EK 16mm OD. Front panel is from Bitspower - the Sedna O11 front (pwm). GPU > Leviathan > CPU > EK PE > water block. Idle temp for GPU and CPU is 33C and 37C with fluid temp of 30-31C. Under full load for 1.5-2 hours fluid temp is around 41-42 and GPU and CPU temps about 57C for both.

 

9700k, 2080 founders, maximus xi hero wifi (y'all can figure out the rest I'm sure), and Corsair LL120 RGB fans. fluid temp sensor is Bitspower Touchaqua (only shows fluid temp, not flow rate). The power plug is so much better than the huge one from the Thermaltake sensor that has flow rate as well.

i have a system... well pair of systems, my main rig and a file server, both watercooled but using a single MO-RA 360 rad

both have a d5 pump and hardline tubing with a quick connect to a distribution manifold to remove from the modified server rack

the server has 12 wd 2tb enterprise drives, 3 120gb kingston ssds for cache and another for windows server 2016, its based on a asrock z87 oc formula sporting an intel 4790 non-k 4.0ghz, and 32gb of ram and a 1000w corsair power supply

the main rig is much the same, based on a asrock z87 oc formula sporting an intel 4790k this time. upped to 4.6ghz, and 32gb of ram but with 2 4tb WD reds and a 500gb samsung ssd and a 750w corasir powersupply and a MSI gtx 1050

the one thing i did though is i put all my networking in a 2u case, modem router and a switch and did some minor programming with and arduino so i can power cycle it all with the push of a single button

and all of that barely sips power from the 1.5 kw APC UPS i pieced back together

Xspc pump failed upgraded To ekwb pump reservoir D5. Installing CPU velocity waterblock this weekend, should be a mess. Oh and after seeing all the nice and tidy Cable Management I decided to fix mine.

Competitor? LOL no way. This is way beyond what I’m capable of.

Tried my hand at hard tubing. Was not as challenging as I thought. Also picked up a new case and some rads.

What do you guys think of this idea. Idk if this is stupid but I kinda want to see a build of it and I've never seen anybody do it.1653182664_Screenshot_20191115-024407_PrintSpooler.thumb.jpg.4534d235ba78abdb89cb5764b0a20179.jpg

I assume you’ve never used YouTube if you haven’t seen this done. Quite common for people to do when not going with the ln2 route. 

 

Just for gaming it would be impractical and yield zero benefits over any other cooling method.

One day Ill get better lighting, took these pics a bit ago for to post this loop here.  2x240mm (front intake/top exhaust) 1x120mm (rear exhaust)

Ryzen Rig 2 in sig

 

Im off again next week for another 2 weeks, I was supposed to get my third loop (RR1 in sig) done then have had the parts for months now, will do it for sure over the next holiday!  (I swear Ill make time lol - and get better pictures all around)

 

Ive had the case for...forever and tbh Im claiming that the dust is all apart of the industrial theme Im going for...

It doesn't look very neat, but it does the job. It is about as quiet as a normal desktop and has pretty decent temps.
GPU under full load 45°C
CPU ~65°C
I made the "block" from the stock cooler. I got rid of the heatpipes and soldered copper pipes to the back.

First Water-cooled build with some challenges.

 

Specs

Case: Phanteks Evlov Shift

CPU: Ryzen 3700x

GPU: ASUS 2080 Super

MB: Asus B450i- Gaming

EK water-cooling equipment

Noctua fans

650W SFX PSU

 

*Side panels created some challenges with space. Then ordered angle fittings some being super low profile on GPU

*Case is specced for 1 120mm radiator. Was able to fit 2 down to the mm with a slim Noctua fan on the vertical mounted radiator. 

*Drilled holes to slide power supple flush with side of case to relieve some room for GPU power connectors.

Horrid pics but got the daily back together. Finally put the ram back in the loop and swapped the 1080 for a 1060 once I found one that used the same block.

Finally got my loop completed today. Now...when I upgrade to a better case (still haven't decided which one) I'll be going for hard lines.

Just wanted to show off my ZMT and Monstas. I personally think these tubes have an industrial beauty.  I could have hidden these connections in the back but I like them up here :)
