My Project Log:

[Random Murderer]

LMAO i have already spent £740 = 1 180.448 U.S. dollars and i only got payed an hour ago!

whaddya get, whaddya get?!

Just remember this... that wasn't a civilian vehicle... DEA.. In my backyard without.... Now who's going to reimburse me for my.... Oh, nah....

I love that movie! Watched it to much! The Video store "confession"(2:40 into it) is the best scene ever done after Pulp Fiction's "What" scene!

CP, by time I'm done with you... you'll be needing more then Those 4 letters to help you!

All right. So I tinkered a bit tonight.. lol.. first off.. The drink of choice

http://img.techpowerup.org/090528/DSCN1712.jpg

Yes, I'm an Amp type of guy!!! In order to have monster... I need Orange Juice...

First off, fans.. Yeah, I've ranted about these aerocool fans.. how flimsy they are.. blade wise... But, after having the case behind me, on my table, and it blowing on me from the 3 fans, I can say they are good. Not as good as the scythe fans, but i felt the air from 5 feet away..


http://img.techpowerup.org/090528/DSCN1715.jpg

yes, yes... finger prints... I think I need to change my custom title to Finger Prints.. Man, that even sounds like a Mafia name.. Finger Prints Cold Storm..

The best thing about the fans are the one thing I gotta get rid of from the Scythe fans.. the yellow wire! Nope these don't have them! lol... Plus the housing for the molex is quite better then the any normal payed fan.. Under 10 bucks that is! lol...

There's the pictures for the day! lol.. Now for other stuff.



I tested the switches that I bought also. They work quite well.. I won't be posting till I I buy the two switches that I am placing on the case... The case buttons are just normal power/reset buttons.. I forgot till I saw the switches that I needed on/off buttons.. lol.. so gotta spend even MORE... lol.. Now, just gotta find out what I want... Plus the hdd conversion kits for the bay... lol.. I almost thinkin' about throwing them on the MM drive set up and the fan on the Mobo tray.. just need 2 6" sata's then... and A.C Ryan does 12" sata cables...

do like.

are you going to be using 3/8 ID tubing?

 

[Cold Storm]

whaddya get, whaddya get?!

Here's a link to Techy's product log

are you going to be using 3/8 ID tubing?

Yeah, I'm going to be using 3/8 id.. Me love that 3/8 stuff!!!

 

[tzitzibp]

any reason for Not 1/2'' ?

 

[Cold Storm]

i got everything 3/8s. the system isnt going to power a building, so i dont see reasons on 1/2. Yeah, more water flow...blah, blah... Im not signed to any oc team so i dont look at 1/2 tubing to get me these temps... If you can say your system idles at 36c with a 4.5ghz quad... In florida... Then your all good.. Imho

I thought so!

just asking, lol, if your system idles at 36c with a 4.5ghz quad... In florida... Then

 

[yogurt_21]

I run 3/8" tubing in my water rigs as I find 1/2" harder to work with, it doesn't turn as easy and takes up more space which.

looks like that windex stuff is working well took away those fingerprints and made it shiney.

and it's 5:30 and no ones calling inw ith issues at work, which rought translates to teh yogurt needs to borrow your amp.

 

[Cold Storm]

Yeah, 3/8" tubing is a lot easier to work with.. If I had a tech station I can see the use of 1/2 tubing.. It's made for Benching and just constant use.. Case you want to be pretty and goo goo eyes..

Tz, I can't wait to see what the temps will be once I get this set up going!!

 

[Chicken Patty]

my i7 idles under that except for one core which idles at 38ºc

so being a i7 (small microwave) and in Florida, do I get some ???

look at the minimum temps, those were idle temps when i first opened up real temp just over a day ago.

 

[Cold Storm]

yep, if you can do that with a i7, you need the
Good old sweet water cooling!! FTW man!!!!

[Chicken Patty]

here is what i found on the site, just says the type but nothing else, if this helps anything



All of our Black Ice® GTX radiators feature optional 3/8" or 1/2" ID high flow fittings and M4 Threaded screws, suitable for mounting 120x25mm fan(s).

 

[Cold Storm]

Thanks CP, I forgot what type was used.. 30mm M4 screws.. Now, tomorrow morning I need to go to Lowes and get some.. I also need gloves for my freezer adventures! I ruffed mine up to much today on my exploits...

M4 is an industry-standard thread-size. all you need to tell someone at lowe's or home depot(etc, etc) is "i need M4 threaded screws of XX length."

[Deleted member 24505]

They usually supply the 30mm ones with a rad,but you can get longer ones.You can buy them in packs of 50 from maplins.

 

[Chicken Patty]

Thanks CP, but I rather go to lowes or home depot... Faster to do so.. My Black Ice GTX stealth didn't come with any screws... Oooh well.. You can't ask for everything!

[Cold Storm]
