What happens if only one fan shuts down?

well it should keep the system in cool temps till i´m back

Some small updates Today:

i used some car door protection to cover the holes i cut for the cpu and 24pin connector

temp, rad fan´s cables sleeved and still enough room for more cables (upper bend mod)

cleaning and testing the loop for few hours......

adding PSU and doing cablemanagement....

my brother-in-law is a lathe operator and i´m waiting for him to show up to bring me the reservoir aluminum distance parts. then i can mount that one and bring the XSPC Laing holder with pump in place

also started to sleeve some S-ATA cables

still a few things to do, i hope i get it done to the weekend....

very nice m8
love the sata cables

That top rad had me fooled, was looking at the pics and wondering where the the line back to the pump/res was, then realized thats the line way up front.

Looking really nice, got any outside shots?

thx,
the outside is still the naked frame, will put it back together when i´m done with the cablemanagement..., still have to do some improvements to the side frame panels because the rad grill covers some panel skrew holes needs some cuts.....

yeeeah but i have to redo the middle one shrink looks ugly

thx

 

[WarEagleAU]

Looking good n0, cant wait to see the rest.

The Outside will be mainly Stock, besides a windows Panel, and the upper fan cover mesh mod, dunno what i could do more on the outside..... gimme some ideas m8´s !

 

[1Kurgan1]

I still say get the outside painted. The outside looks fine on the case as it is, but a nice paintjob will make that shine and really stand out. I would say go two tone with is, most CM cases lend to that well since the CD bays and down then the top of the case is always mesh, just looks natural for that to be another color. Or keep that as black and have the rest painted.

My Brother in Law showed up Today....

here are the aluminum Reservoir holders also he made me some feetpins, the cosmos (S) usually stands on the bottom bars, and if u move the case u scratch em over the floor if u have no Carpet, so i thought some POM feets would round it up... just need to drill some straight holes in the bottom bars

.: It´s alive :.​

hehe, ok i finally got the reservoir and pump in place, after adding some feser corrosion additive, i tried the "Blood Red" out , i needed 4 PrimoCHILL´s Dye Bombs syringes to get a almost true "Blood Red" in the loop as u can see on the picture below

@phan get at least 4 syringes !!! water was bloody in seconds

Wonders if "cool aid cherry" would do the same effect ?

 

[WarEagleAU]

Dude that looks sexy!

Dude that looks sexy!

thx m8,

i´m almost done, just doing some makeup on the wires, the inner part is done i would say...
just have to cut some on the upper side cover so it´s fit´s

 

[n0tiert]

here is the backside, needs to be straighten up.....

also i have to sleeve the I/O cables from the upper front audio,e-sata,usb,power,reset button and strap it down to the mb connectors

 

[Scrizz]

whoa, very nice m8
did you get a window for that setup?
It needs to be displayed!

yeah will add window panel , still dunno which one, i thought about getting the cosmos S black side door´s would be more contrast then ....
if anyone arround my place would have a cosmos S so i could see how it would look´s like ....

Pics? temps? Yeah that dye bomb stuff is so weak... i had a pink loop for 3 days lol. Mine took 3 but just barely, and my rez is tiny compared to yours.

they make it sound so powerful and scary... like more than 3 drops and all the blocks are gonna turn RED. lol 2 syringes later it was still pink.

Here are some idle Temps,

Water sensor show´s 30° Celsius
will do some performance pics`s tonight.... gotta rush it´s Mother´s Day ....

Don´t mind the PCI-E speed show´s it wrong.......

Need to update Catalyst to 9.4 anyway....

Some Pictures,

need to change the bottom fan too, will add a scythe too.
Dunno why but atm it´s hard to get a window panel... all stores waiting for them i hope i get at least one hehe...

atm i got it stable @ 3511.89 MHz 38° C, 1,425 V water temp is arround 31-32 °C
time for a little RBE Tweaking since the 4870 x2 are so sweet
it´s not bad for almost 1Ghz overclocked, might wanna switch to 955 to hit over the 4Ghz barrier

Get OCCT to load both GPU's and use prime small FTT to load CPU and leave for an hour to test capability of the loop. Then look at loaded temps - if the loop is properly configured, then the temps will be lower than air, and when you turn all of the stress tests off, the temps should go back to normal idle temps in under a minute. Also get some

it will lower your temps by a 1-2 C and it costs about as much as a beer, also only comes in red, so it won't adversely affect the color of that loop.
