computer one obv

going to mod it maybe, thinking of designs for liquid cooling etc and how it flows of course…

anyone got some fancy ideas?

I like it a bit more plain and simple like LED fans, that's enough for me. ^^ I also have a window in the side, but that was there when I bought it, what case did you get?

Yeah man what the frack post a link to picture!
How can we answer those questions and oogle at it without pictures!?

Pics or it didn't happen!

Tits or gtfo…

but I think liquid cooling would be awesome dude, it would help to reduce damage to the pc etc. If you did it right you could get it to look awesome!

Could mod a side panel to swing open/shut like a door and have everything slide out from the case like a filing cabinet :p

Lots and lots and lots of LEDs

Lol, I hate light, no LEDS!!!

my last rig was all black & white, was cool, don't really care for looks over performance

this one is going to be small case..

I'm debating whether I feel like drilling holes jk gonna drill holes cuz I like to break stuff

wondering where I should put my res in this, where the pink line ends is where idk where it goes because it goes to the res


and before someone says something stupid like "the pressure is more because the pump has to push up" just google siphoning and learn how that works, then you'll realize there is almost zero push required for the pump to work no matter how wacked your loop is


so it goes blue -> green > up through red to radiator.. then out with pink into case again, gotta mess around I guess

back pic for if someone wanted it or whatever

HA! same case as me, that HAF/cool master, I have 4 fans on all spots and a CPU fan… I call my case the dust collector

It's a pretty cool case, I saw its price and was like, yes I can drill holes in this case

Looks similar to my CoolerMaster StormEnforcer.

I dunno if you've had similar HDD/SSD bays before, but it took me more time than I'd like to admit trying to get them to clip in–when you just put those l-shape things on the side of the removable tray and it slides in between the things .. err look @ pic below:

(goes where the red marks are)


I imagine you've more experience with cases and this stuffs so it probably won't be a problem for you as it was for me >.<

Yea lol, there are a million different stupid little things case designers come up with in how to make drive bays better or worse.. etc probably going to take that entire piece out

Definitely post pics-in-progress/final result!!! :)

Inspiring to the extent that I'll try my first mod on my current case whenever I get a second case :p

there now our cases are different :p

gotta read some for schools tomorrow and crap, unfortunately. also don't even have all computer parts so not in much of a rush

looks fun, yes take time, but pictures of it still would be super!

I've got a coolermaster like this one but I think it's a bit bigger and red on the inside. Will be cool to see what you do with the case. You got any other ideas apart from cooling?

Messiness is all I can see ._.

Holy thread stretch batman!

Scale down the images please or don't embed them :)

Can I just say how excited it looks like you were? stuffs thrown everywhere!

yea I did, not sure why imgur didn't scale that one down.. all the others worked lol

That's my shop, there's enough crap in there to build about 30 computers

I mean just in that one pic you can see 4 motherboard boxes, clearly not for 1 computer :P

waterflow blue -> green -> pink

if the water pressure is how I think it is, the radiator up on the top should be able to be empty most of the time and we get a fancy waterfall effect

got cpu/memory yesterday.. hopefully the rest or most of the crap comes today

kinda at a standstill, got the loop pretty much down I believe

What's the build of this, if you don't mind me asking?

Do you mean the specs?

3570k
custom liquid cooled obv
asrock extreme4 board
16gib of g.skill 2x8gb

no GPU as of now, will wait.. I don't really play games so don't care

oo I see, nice nice. You usually liquid cool when you are oc'ing processors like a 3570k? I know this is lingering off topic from your case :p but does that scale for higher processors too? Do you liquid cool when constantly oc'ing a 39xxk? even some e7-8xxx server?

OT: I indeed hope the rest your parts arrive soon! Stinks having to wait for them.

can't overclock most server processors, but yea no matter what liquid cooling (custom loop) have better cooling, instead of dissipating over a small heatsink you dissipate all over the entire flow of water + your radiator (mines on top) which gives a much better cooling, that's why cars use the same type of system (computer liquid cooling designed from cars) instead of having the radiator where the wind blows through while you drive.. we use fans obviously

and no prob being off topic, there's a reason I post all my stuff in NOTA usually :P

A super computer warehouse one of my teachers worked in like 15 years ago - they channeled a river through there to cool the machines, in a half pipe that touched the processors and the water just flowed through, my teachers job was scraping off the fish that got burnt onto the hot parts LOL

the machine was like 100+ feet long pretty much.. probably had less power than my 3930k does

other parts came, still need power supply & tubing though


got it up and running on stock cooler but nothing special

the other stuff should come just in time for me to be in the middle of finals week & then leave for 3 weeks .. so this will be done sometime in January :P

Aw that's a bummer!

Nonetheless, it should be an awesome custom build, looking forward to the finished image

cheers,

normally when you leave for a month you expect STUPID TUBING TO ARRIVE AT YOUR HOUSE

but nope, I guess it takes 2 months

stupid people won't even respond

rage etc

Did they leave a not saying 'Sorry you were not at home'

no, the people didn't even ship the shit, lol..

there were people here to get it, my neighbors, brothers, etc.. they get my mail

Wow they haven't even shipped it yet, call the head office (if it's a big shipper) or if it's from ebay open a dispute just start harassing them every day

small, I usually buy tubing there they got some good prices

I got a friend who lives right there, I'll just have him go beat the guy up for my $22 if he doesn't respond

emailed him like an hour ago, he responded like 5 mins later and said sorry etc lol

probably just forgot about me cuz I'm bad, he just sent it out though, got tracking etc

GG

was leak testing

glad this board forces big images to be screen size :P

can go to direct URL if you want to see bigger.

Insanely cold for ivy bridge overclock:

http://i.imgur.com/bQF0GM4.jpg

might go higher, though super cold at 4.2ghz is tempting for me to stay there.. so will probably sit there for at least a month and know it's so nice

other people are at like 1.3v to get at 4.4ghz + and I'm still down in the 1.1v I reckon I won the silicon lotto bigger than any man has ever won

Lol I like it. However, I'm more excited that all my car piping came in yesterday than I have ever been over a computer.

What you doing on your car? I have only done sound system stuff

I got a shipment of that wrong tubing so I think I'm going to make one of those fancy fountains with my brother for my moms bday or something, my bro does wood carving / crafting things, and I can do all the pipes and pump etc

About how much did this cost? I'm leaning towards making a custom computer, and I'm wanting to know the cost.


And what I should get.

I got a lot of the parts with black friday deals, so it's a bit less than what the stuff is now

mobo - 100 (130 now)
ram - 50 (77 now)
cpu - 200 (220 now)
gpu - 180 (190 now)
psu - 60 (70 now, new version is out though which is 70.. I'd recommend it since it's modular and same price.. and much better wires)
ssd1 - 60 (110 now)
ssd2 - 115 (100 now) - this is my older ssd, still saturates sata3.. though got it loong ago so it was more
case - 30? I just get cheap ones and rip shit apart and weld it where I want

liquid cooling stuff is old, I've had all of it many years and reuse, reuse, reuse.. though that would be around 200 total probably


I can max every game in existence on single monitor, though multi monitor I'd need more graphics power probably (I have 3 monitors, but only game on single because I don't like looking across multiple)

Hm.. Alright, Thanks! Shit's expensive. Oh well, I'll save up for it.

Thanks, Grats!

Building a custom front mount inter cooler.

That looks real nice. Are your tubes red or is that red dye?

From: Kyle Undefined
Building a custom front mount inter cooler.

damn that sounds cool, I don't know vehicles very well

I want to make a car out of superconductors and just liquid helium cool them.. get like a 100 pound super conductor, that'd hold about 10k pounds.. 9k for cooling and 1k for people lulz

Reading all of your posts made me excited to build my own computer. I have never done it, but it seems like alot of fun. :D

Going to need help though, haha.. I hate being a noob at things.

I've helped probably 100 or so people build who said the exact same thing, and only like 2 actually followed through and asked for my help, the others just did it (because it is really easy) picking the parts is the only tough part because it requires knowledge, but putting them together is super straight forward, like legos but they only can go in the correct spots

but yea if you need help with anything with them you can pm or add to skype.

Legos you say? Im an expert at building lego stuff.. I think I will do fine then! But of course, i'll be sure to come through you when im buying it… :)

Is there any type of soldering or.. anything like that? I'v heard that eavesdropping on peoples convos.

I've never done it, but I'm pretty sure it's just plugging things in and possibly screwing in some bolts :)

Ah nice, good to know. I solder and stuff at my job.. its just I dont want to mess anything up that I bought. haha ;)

Thanks for the info guys.

yea, just pushing pieces together, screwing in a few screws..

Seems like I should have no problem setting up my own computer, looks like a lot of fun. How tricky is installing a liquid cooling system?

it's more expensive than tricky, but doing it nicely there is a lot of sitting there and looking at it / planning

build your machine, get it going… before you go and liquid cool it, you can always PM me after it's built for good parts, you gotta be safe for the corrosion etc etc

I wouldn't do it if you're looking for better performance, the H100 performs just as good as custom loop cooling almost (custom loop maybe slightly better) only reason I still do it is because I have hundreds of dollars in cooling parts and some distilled water only costs $1 and tubing is only like $15 lol..

air cooling today is also a million times better than it was back in the day, you can get some extremely high overclocks on just the hyper 212 evo, nearly the same as the best liquid cooling.. maybe slightly not as high, it's more dependent on the silicon lotto (the cpu's are all different, even the same cpu is different vs another of the same cpu.. the same as anything of the same one might die in a week, one might die in 10 years.. they overclock all totally differently) and that is much more mattering than the cooler today, 10 years ago it was much different obviously.
