My first ever watercooled build is complete, there were ups and downs, I've discovered how tunnel vision can make one very dumb.

I'm open to any (constructive) criticism but the system will soon evolve as I'm planning on an additional 360 rad (bottom of the case), relocating the HDDs (and maybe dropping 2 of them).

 

For a much further future, I think I'll try hard tubing, but seeing how soft tubing has gone, I'd like to have everything ready and in place to see how to do it before even considering it.

Yes it is build in/on a Corsair 400R. I wasn't happy with the coolant color, I ordered black but it turned out to be purple... sad. Maybe this will be changed to mayhems pastel.

There will be a second gpu in there, and when i get the money, i will also watercool those.

Set-up:

CPU: FX-8150

GPU: Powercolor 7870 PCS+

SSD's: Samsung 830 (256 GB), Crucial M4 (128 GB)

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 (sadly a rev 1.0, no llc :()

PSU: Coolermaster M850

Watercooling:

rad: Phobya G-changer 280 60mm

cpu: EK-supremacy nickel-plexi

tubing: tygon 3/8" tubing

coolant: feser one (not so) black

res: Phobya Balancer 150

pump: MCP655 (swiftech)

this is awsome wkwk

Da Helll man ? hahahahaha... so awsome

[CptnReflex]

Scrapyard Battlerig. This thing is 90% used or leftover parts from years ago. 

 

9900k was new

3090 was new, so was the old 2070 super

 

GPU blocks were new, a few fittings were new, the case was new. 

Power cables to the old supernova 1300g2 were new which I traded an old gtx 970 for lol

 

 

those are white only LED fans Daisy chained to two molex cables, those and the 3 white only LED bars were new.

 

pretty much everything else was either from my old core i3 build I upgraded over the years and and my friend gave up on watercooling which is why I said screw it and got a nice case. I got a 9900k instead of a 9600k to pair with my watercooled 2070 super with an xspc block which will go back in when I get an actual new 3rd radiator and put the blocks on my 3090. I'm debating whether I want to go full open air flow in the front panel or if it will be enough to cool everything with every radiator blowing out. This system had zero issues heating with the 2070 super under water but the 3090 on air actually over heats the cpu thermally throttling on bf5 unless I take the glass panels off. I'm guessing this wouldn't be the case if everything is under water, but adding the 3rd radiator I haven't gotten around to and I don't actually know the best course of action. I might move my 240mm rad to a custom mosiac cutout front panel and make it look like an intercooler in the front, then put another 360mm rad on the bottom and either move my pump res or get a smaller unit to actually fit in my system. if anyone has advice on that I'm all ears.

 

I don't need both GPU's in here but 40% extra cuda cores for folding @ home and workstation use seems nice!

Not trying to tell you what to do, and the rig looks awesome. Just removed a 90* fitting roughly in a very similar place as you have one. I would recommend getting rid of that and switching to a soft loop to go where you need it to go. I actually picked up a substantial amount of flow by doing just this.

Update on 9600KF rig:

Better pics of my cooling setup and upgraded parts -

Heatkiller IV all copper water block
two alphacool bay reservoirs 5.25 (approx 1.5 quarts total)
two freezemod 800L/H PWM pumps (after waterblock)

one barrow 450L/H PWM pump (before waterblock)
One 360mm rad
One 240mm rad (passive)
One 120mm rad
One 80mm deep alphacool monsta 120mm rad (essentially two 120mms in one)
Mostly noctua PWM fans running about 800 rpm (set static)
Pumps running about 3000rpm each
9600KF @ 5.2Ghz @ 1.373 volts 24/7

Yes I can maintain 5.2Ghz with very low fan speed. 

barrow pump in foreground has now been painted

 

Installed black light in case ceiling, its awesome

 

Baby chiller and 60 plate heat exchanger

 

 

My heatkiller is pretty restrictive right now so before I just had two pumps AFTER the water block, however, with that much suction with the addition of another pump, the line was imploding and severely limiting flow. To solve this problem I wrapped that line with numerous zip ties to bolster it up and get it back to it's intended shape. And as I said earlier, added a 3rd pump that is located right before the block.  So now its push pull, not pull pull...

HI there!

 

I had the Idea for the external Radiator more than a Year ago and When i had the Chance to get powerhungry hardware i did it.

I watercooled the 5900x, the x570 Chipset (i know, not neccesary) and the star of the show, a 6900XT Liquid Devil.

One 420 Radiator is in the Case Dark Base 900 Pro Rev 2 and one above my window. Cpu and Gpu sit at aroud 50C while gaming (Anno1800) right now.

The cooling-delta is around 8 C with the Fans between 500 and 800 rpm.

(Lighting is not great in the pictures)

This is top tier man, I have always wanted to create something like this, fun and nuts, but I have neither the time or money. I'm running an Intel i7 980X and a GTX 480 still lol.

[Fast_N_Curious]

Improvised water chiller, of course I had to use a blue bucket to match the blue theme 

The bucket sits outside for a couple hours then I bring it in and drop the liquid to liquid heat exchanger directly into the 33*F water. I leave the cold side circuit on the exchanger open, so it fills with cold water as well. Trade of is I don't have a pump directly attached, so eventually the water does heat up. Gives me about 10* delta when compared to a standard radiator which is no more than a couple degrees in most systems. I have about 30 minutes before it starts to heat up again. Obviously it's not going to stay this way,

 

 

Upgraded the D5 pump... front and center... and cleaned it up a little bit, wire management, etc. The entire case is tool less, less the power supply and GPU. With three pumps now, it's very easy to bleed. 980mm of radiator keeps my 9600KF very cold. Pretty sure nobody has ever put this amount of radiator in a CoolerMaster Sileo 500 case, lol. 

 

To give you an idea, I have all the fans set to a static 800rpm regardless of load, and I have all three water pumps throttled way back as well, and it still holds 5.2GHz 24/7 no problem. Just completed a 14 stress test, temps never got above 80*C.

Awesome Rig! What kind of Delta do you get without the bucket at what load?

Thanks, without the bucket on the conventional custom loop the delta T is perhaps 2-3*, but with the liquid to liquid heat exchanger it's about 10*.

 

This is the 6th or 7th iteration of a cooling system for this machine. I started with an MSI Core Frozr XL 120, which has two 120mm fans. Every radiator is now tool less, (and the black light and both reservoirs) meaning it's a tension fit. Both 5.25" bay reservoirs pull out to make it easy to fill/ refill the loop. not earthquake rated (lol) but stays together just fine, and also makes modifying the loop later on very easy. It also makes it very easy to use the ghetto chiller/cooler and getting to the motherboard quickly. 

 

Here is the rig before the addition of the 3rd Barrow D5 pump: (system will get one more D5 pump and then it will be more or less complete. That's two pumps before the

My first attempt at hardline watercooling, I am aware that pump outlet tube is not straight but did not have time to make a new tube for it 

I am planning to go for a GPU upgrade with a factory waterblock card and set a new loop config.

First hard line build inside a mini itx PC, pretty happy with the results! This is not the final form, but the lack of availability for a GPU makes it very hard to complete. Case is very spacious for a mini itx case, and I loved every bits of it. Phanteks did a fantastic job building this case (it's a MetallicGear Neo Mini V2)!

 

Spoiler

 

is that antifreeze or a very convincingly coloured coolant?

It's colored coolant! Feser One View Green UV coolant die in distilled water to be specific

Yes, it's another distro equipped O11D XL. But there's plenty of custom bits to separate from the norm.

My first foray into watercooling. I’ll switch to a blood red cryofuel, scarlet red is not really doing it for me. Used bitspower goodies and 12mm acrylic tubing, now i was wondering if i should’ve gone 14mm or maybe 16mm. They look quite thin.

What coolant or additive did you use, that red is awesome!
