1st Build Log / Watercooling - Page 2

post #11 of 14
Thread Starter 
Well, finally decided on XSPC Raystorm due to cost and recent info on Stren's cpu block tests. Received my RX360 and its in excellent used condition. I also bought a DD Rad res.. Like the XSPC dual bay, but saw the problems in bleeding with the intake and output. Also loved the look of that cylinder res.
I've also got some of the components modeled in sketchup, but want to have all of them before posting. Not going all out, but are accurate dimensions and show enough detail to surmise what it is.
Once I have all components modeled , I'll start designing the cabinets. I have a few ideas, but without hard data can't pin it down.

Placed an oreder with Sidewinder and should be here tomorrow or Monday. Thanks to Gary for fixing the glitch with options on Raystorm - Amd. Here's a list of items that I ordered.

1 - XSPC Raystorm CPU Waterblock
4 - XSPC 1/2-3/4" Barb Fittings
2 - XSPC 1/2-3/4" Compression Fittings
14 - Ezyclick Plastic Hose Clamps
3' - 1/4" Blk. Heatshrink
2' - 1/2" Blk. Heatshrink
10' - 1/4" Custon Non-Fray Expandable Sleeving - Blk.
10 - 3-Pin Female Header Housings - Blk.
30 - Female Pins
10 - 3-Pin Male Headers - Blk.

I'm gonna sell the XSPC Dualbay and stick with the DD Rad res. Going to cut and tap the housing on the D5 to accept 1/4' fittings. I should also be receiving a 2x 120mm Swiftech rad to replace the leaking Swiftech 360. Next step in my process is to order tooling for my router. Raised panel, stile, and rail bits. I don't care for the Roman Ogee style and I'm going with 15* bits for more of a plain shaker style. Hoping that my work schedule slows down and I can get moving on the woodworking part in the next couple weeks. After I receive all the electronic components and get the details sorted out on design this build will really start. Still need a fan controller and believe that I will be going with a Logisys 6 channel controller with seperate temperature readout. I also decided to use an older 460 watt Antec psu to power the fans, pump, and any lighting that I will eventually be included.
I finally got a usb to 8-pin cable for my camera and will be updating and taking more photos once I start building the actual cabinet/desk units. $20 from Radio Shack vs. $2.48 shipped from ebay!

Set up a temporary system to test watercooling and to transition old components to the case i was using, for a home server. I'm happy so far with the performance with just the RX360 in the loop, 32*@ 4.174ghz on the 1100T, and cant wait to see what another 360 and 2 120's will do.
The Deltas seem to working admirably. They are smooth and quieter than I anticipated. I received the Logisys fan controller and am really happy with it so far. Hopefully start with contruction of the cabinet next weekend!
