Silent WC ftw!

Thread Starter 
So i built this a while ago and i figured i would share it in here just in case someone needs ideas.

0430110928.jpg

Large rad is the phobia extreme 1080 9x120 the other rads are all swiftech. The phobia is absolutely the best deal (only 125$) for a silent rig due to its Massive size gives a huge volume of water and allows really quiet fans.. or no fans. So you can overclock all you want and all you hear is your HDD unless you have SSD's. Also be very particular about pumps. I use a mcp355 which is not known for being super quiet (due to vibration) but with a nice foam or sponge pad it will be very quiet

FANS! The white are GELID Silent 12's 1000rpm. (love them + they are pretty cheap)

And here is how it looks all together

100_0090.jpg
100_0088.jpg
100_0089.jpg
100_0091.jpg
100_0092.jpg

So that's my silent rig, Hope you enjoy.

interesting design, but why have the smaller rads if you have the monster? also do the fans have enough room to breathe up against the case?
does it make a big difference if the fans are off?
looks good thumb.gif

Only used one of the 1x120 and the 9x120. The 1x120 is just to cut cpu heat before the gpu. the rad n fans are spaced off the case with long bolts and they are low flow fans so not a big deal. If your house has decent air circulation i dont really notice a difference with no fans until i game for long periods.

^ as for price i have had many wc setups so the only thing i had to buy was the phobia rad for 125, some tube and the gpu block. oh and fans which were pretty cheap. (sent from droid hope it isnt all jacked up)

was wondering what kind of temps you were getting passively while under prime and furmark? with that amount of surface area and water, i would imagine even w/o fans spinning you'd have some decent temps.

also can you throw a rad on the roof? i'd imagine a 180mm rad might fit on there?

I cant get temps till im back home. yes i could easily put the 2x120 on the top but there is no reason. I already have 10x120 surface area. so i will use my other rads for another build. smile.gif
