Water Cooling in a Obsidian Series 900D

[Knight091]

You wonder what I do at work.... Some of our 3D work is in this.. This is still on topic just a little fast and can hover with a 30MM gun and rockets.... it has computers and water cooled engines.....

I love the fittings I have. It really came down to what looked great and worked just as good. Also I had to have all rotary fittings. You have to get rotary fittings. It makes your water cooling a lot easier. I looked at EK for fittings but like the Bitspower fittings more. They cost more but they also come with the compression fitting on them a lot of them. It is cheaper that way. I wanted to go with acrylic tubing but went with normal tubing. Acrylic tubing is starting to catch on with us computer nerds.

Rotary fittings eh? Will try on that one. Yea acrylic is getting wide now, but thats just it, looks over performance. I should balance both. How about coolants? I read some articles that you non-coloured is better than dyes one. Idk if I misunderstood the sentence but yea, better ask than nothing.

Yea me too bro, we kinda have build but still in a process. Wanted to get the MSI MPower or MPower Max at first. But someone in tpu suggested me with MVIExtreme, that made me rethink all over it again and since the board havent release yet so I think its best to figure out some other stuff while can. But whats really unique abot the board is that theyve made a waterblock-ready for the mosfet.

not unique...asrock had that on its z77 oc formula... granted they're like the same company.. and the board I believe is out. I thought I saw it on newegg can't remember if it was preorder or really on sale. I like the msi better though for what you pay, you get a ton...display port,Hein and the works

I washed my hands off from ASrock hehe. Theyre actually good company, but been rma theie board twice and I dont want it to happen again. But will still look forward to them tho. As for now, its either MSI or Asus.

I went with this cooant. I like it and your talking maybe a few degrees if that with color and non color coolants. Most of the good ones yoiu will not even see any diff.

I went to this site few days ago, but haven't check if they can ship to my country.
I would get this for my coolant :

or
http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_381_303&products_id=37166

and yes this too http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_413_1227&products_id=37276

EDIT
And fyi, yes they do ship to my country. What a luck!

Great if you order make sure you use the code OCN55 and that will take off 5.5% from you total...

With the code I posted above the FL tax will almost be gone. I also live in FL and just put up with the tax. At least we do not have income tax in FL.

Hey knight, I think I am going Enthoo Primo...it will be $250 too.

I don't like its clearance issues though for a gpu....10.5 inches max.

Well do not get the case based off the cost. The last thing you want is to get a case and have room problems. That 10.5 inches max seams to small. My GTX 690 would run into problems and most hi end cards. That was one reason why I went with the 900D. The 900D is the way to go. It gives you more room for future computer things.

 

[Reefer86]

I am useing ABS plastic not acrylic. I will be lighting it a way that will light it the same way but for half the cost as my old idea.


My updated on my computer.

Just making sure they line up. Will have compression fittings on all the lines when done.

Thanks. I am getting lighting for the case. It will be white LEDs to light up the CPU, rez and both GPU water blocks. I went with white because red cancels out the red water coloring white will make it pop and stand out. Also got two Logisys True-Color CCFL Light Bar - 12" - White to light up the inside of the case. I will mount them in a place to light up the case great.

I love playing games but I use my computer for what I really built it for....3D work for games and other things. I was rendering a shot with HDR lighting and other things and it looks just as good as a Pixar movie with the style. I am using the rendering software call RenderMan. I was going for. I was using just under 28 GB of my 32 GB ram.... now that is using the computer.... I had the GPUs rendering and the CPU playing music... GPU rendering is 80-90% faster than the CPU.....

RenderMan

A shot from the making of Angels and Demonds

Lots of CG in this shot with lighting etc.

So I bought the cooler master v1000w gold psu from newegg. It is actually a rebadged seasonic(only reason why I did) and I think I will be very pleased with it. It actually pulls platinum numbers.

 

[Knight091]

UPDATE

I have most of the case lighting done. Have the lighting and water pumps powered by a small PSU until my large Corsair PSU comes tomorrow. What do you guys think so far? Sorry about the pics being low rez. I took with my cell. Will have the finished computer up and running tomorrow and will take pro pics for the finished build. O ya I went with a red,black,white color look....

What is with the unnecessary amount of fittings from the radiator in the top left? Doing the big twist?

It allows me to fit in the system ram with room. I had a short rout but this made it better. Also when one fitting cost 10+ and most are 16-20 you want to use all of them.....just saying.

Not really...........I just buy the amount of fittings I need.

bring back red rings on fans. white doesnt match well.

well it isnt good.
red cables, red coolant, red sockets on mobo and ... white rings. it doesnt fit.
your theme is red/black what are those white rings doing there.
you use white light to accent red coolant not cause of color scheme

 

[Grey_beard]

Looking good Knight.. seems like in it's final stages.

I'd have to agree, use the red rings instead its more consistent with your build. Don't forget to flip that fan too.
