600T transforms into Enthoo

[EldarNi]

Hi everyone

Here is my little story. I had a gaming PC with the next specs:

Corsair 600t white

Asus p8z77-v

intel 3570k

8Gb of Corsair memory

256Gb Samsung 830 SSD

4 HDDs (1,5 + 2 +3 +3)

Asus 7970 Direct CUII Top

Creative Platinum X-Fi Fatal1ty 64mb

and Corsair AX750 power supply

Pretty much a standard gaming PC

 

But one day I found a bundle of water cooling components on ebay and I've decided to do a water cooling setup.

It was an XSPC dual bay D5 pump with reservoir, Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 360 mm radiator (as I thought), 3 Noctua NF-P12 fans and 2 Typhoon 1450 fans. Everything's for £105 pounds. Good isn't it?

But a seller have sent to me an UT60 radiator and here is my "problems"/journey began =)

 

I've ordered:

Phobya 200 mm radiator

White Primoflex tubing

Alphacool fittings and Koolance Quick Disconnects

XSPC Raystorm water-block

EK 7970 DCII water-block (I need to say it's a very rare item)

 

a week later there was a sale of Asus 7970's so I've decided to get a second card for £227

Here is my beauty

But the temps have risen up to 95c

... I needed a second water-block asap.

I bought NexXxoS ST30 240 mm as well.

 

 

It took 2 more weeks before I got all the components

 

What a nice gift from Aquatuning, those little jelly gums in front =)

Some nice hardware you've got there

Wow the lights in the case make the first picture look amazing

[Raboo]

What camera do you use?

[EldarNi]

The next step was dismounting all the hardware and radiator flushing.

 

 

Hi there again =)

 

 

For the radiator cleaning I've used my HDD external box. Have connected a pump and here we go

 

This small metal bits came out of 240 mm radiator

 

It's about 3-4 mm long.

Nice build, and btw, I see you

Hi, I'm currently have a Samsung s27a750d. It's a nice 3D 1080p monitor.

That 600T is just an awesome case, a lot more people should use this case for their builds!

Stoked to see the finished build, dude

Update.

It was really difficult to get all bubbles out of loop. At some point I wanted to replace my xspc dual bay res with monsoon but did some research first and here is the method:

The problem is within the inlet, it goes straight into pump so and do bubbles.

The easy way to deal with this - block the bubbles with a half-cut tube, to divert them aside.

e

 

 

And here we take even smaller piece of tube just to redirect a flow.

 

With this method I've got a bubble-free loop much much faster.

Installing water-blocks.

I'm going to drill 4 holes just for the central fan.

 

Top mounted Alphacool 240 mm with Noctua NF-F12 fans

 

Here I make a decision

push-fans

 

or pull-fans 

 

I prefer the second option.

The stand I've used for the rad is EK-Uni Rad Holder 120
