[Build Log] Switched On Ivy - My S810 IB Build - Page 3

post #21 of 251

BTW my original plan was a Sapphire 7950 and a Heatkiller block, but after some emails swapped back and forth between PPCS and Christian at Watercool I found the block wouldn't work.
So I ended up ordering the Power Color 7950 & EK waterblock/backplate.
Still worried about getting anything delivered here this week, so many roads are flooded out I'm just hoping the water will seep in or evaporate now that the storm is gone. We can kind of get around in the truck but my Z28 won't make it far from the house.

Few goodies came in:
450
Otherwise I've been trying to sleeve this Seasonic 24 pin. It's been a real pain to get these pins to release, is much harder than the other few cables I've tried. I've broke a lot of pins and a few fingers, I think. rolleyes.gif
I hate to admit this, but I don't know what to expect when I finish this psu. I would hate to have to order another 24 pin and start over, and of course Seasonic like some others has it's own proprietary wiring system. The pin release tool just does not work with this thing, I've had to use long staples and it's slow going. The connectors are of course the 24 pin for the motherboard, and then a 10 pin and 18 pin on the psu side. I took pics before I started but forgot to make a wiring diagram. Oooops! Live and learn, my friends, always make a diagram!
I've got about 1 1/2 days in on this so far and 13 wires to go. mad.gif The sleeving isn't hard, just the pins. I posted all this so someone else can learn from my mistakes. Anyway back to it, I'm anxious to get on with the rest of the build and I've yet to fire up the board, although I had it running a while back in another machine to test it out. Fresh cpu, though, wanna see if this one OC's a little better than my other one.
If anyone knows where to find a wiring diagram for the Seasonic 1000w please do send me a copy so I can check my work.

Ordered a "spare" ATX cable for the Seasonic and the 3 connectors. When I get all this I will start over on the sleeving and make my own wiring, should be %1000 easier than fooling with these impossible pins.

I decided to go with the rad on the bottom since I really need some room for several HDD's.
Since sleeving is on hold while I wait for new connectors for the Seasonic, I made a little progress with the rad/psu cover. As you can see, I've yet to cut the area for the fans to exhaust. I've thought about several ways to do it, but I have a sheet of mesh and I may just square off an opening and fit with the mesh. This metal is evidently high carbon steel as it's dulling the blades pretty quick. The metal is 12x18 22 gauge from Lowes.Or it's supposed to be, but must have been mislabeled as it's closer to 1/8 18.
Right now I miss working in a Welding/Machine shop as I did years ago, would have knocked this out pretty quick. As it is I had to clamp the metal to a piece of marble I use for a work table and pound the flanges with a block of wood and my BFH. biggrin.gif

Here is the bottom bay with the side not installed. Rain has kept the painting stage slow.
The top pieces are supported by aluminum L channel bolted to the sides/front. I'm still trying to source some cheap or free aluminum sheet to cut down on the weight, although it's actually easier for me to work with the small gauge steel with the tools (or lack thereof) I have.

Still sleeving! The psu is on and off, but I did manage to get one of the USB cables sleeved. For now I'm out of black sleeving and just ordered some and some new (hopefully better) 1/4" shrink. Hard to believe I've went through so much paracord, although I did use some on my other rig.

I love it when people make custom "shelves" like you made. It looks a lot better than having the bottom open.

I asked for an RMA for the 250ml FrozenQ res as fitting it vertically might not work now. But, I changed my mind and decided to mount the res horizontally. Don't know how all that is going to work out yet, although I do have a glimmer of a plan. It will involve shifting my DVD to another spot possibly, and I'm trying to decide on what material I want to use for mounting as it will need good support.
