project X-System II

[leopoldb]

it is now a year ago i built my first computer; the X-System. it was built on a budget to run a specific game/simulation. i tried to get the most proformence out of it for the money i had, knowing then that at some stage i would do a big upgrade i went for the cosmos 2 case.

now i have decided on what to do. the speck will remain the same (apart from overclocking) but i will be water cooling it.

i have already done half the cable sleving and i have ordered some of the components. the components will inclood:

EK CPU waterblock EK-Supreme LTX AMD - Acetal CSQ

EK GPU waterblock EK-FC5X0 GTX GW - Acetal + EN (Nickel)

EK Pump EK-DCP 4.0 (12V DC Pump)

EK fittings EK-PSC Fitting 10mm - G1/4 Black

FrozenZ res Liquid Fusion X4 Quad Spiral Reservoir (red)

i haven't decided on what coolent, rad, tubeing or thermal past i wan't.

current status:

half the cable sleving and red cathodes installed.

​i am hesitant of showing any pictures yet because of the bad quality and the computer dosen't look verry good yet, i will upload a better picture later this week. but what the hell here we go!

can you spot whats wrong?

i got the wrong waterblock! this one is for intel i orderd for AMD. the lable says AMD but the block is for intel and on top of that the intel backplate wasent in the box!

so i sent them an email amd hopefully we can get this sorted out.

oh and here is a pic of my other waterblock:

Was there some other included mounting piece for AMD?

[leopoldb]

no. only the intel block and bag of screws, it wont fit/work on my amd bord or a intel borad for that sake because there is no backplate included.(how i know this? i read the included manual for intel)

There Was a build log here somewhere where the guy used plastic ( real water tubes like for houses and so ) but not big ones but small thin ones to manage the cables at the back of his cosmos II and he painted them black as the back of the case it looked amazing :D hope this will help with the cable management :D + what's ur pc specs. ? :D

thank you for the tip about the pipe but i do not intend to do much about something that i cant see... maybe on a later date i will do so but for now i keep things to what i already have.

pc specs are:

CPU: AMD FX-6200 6 core 3.8Ghz

GPU: Palit GTX 580 - 3GB overclocked

PSU: AX 850

Motherboard: gigabyte FXA-UD3 (nothing special)

RAM: 8GB corsair vengeance

ald sadly today whalst trying to sleve my 24pin i broke it :( i might just order a pre made custom set. time and money will tell.

today i finished my graphics card.

​and some of the tubeing.

and if someone could tell me if pumping through the rad before the system will work, is there to much resistance?

and i got a parcel from EKWB... lets hope that it is the right one.

and yes i got the right one, there was no hassle with EK they were friendly and helpful when i told them about the mixup.

here it has been instaled.
