You can also buy connectors that change the link size. They are called reducers. Shop around for the best price, you can find them in plastic and in brass... Brass Reducer

360mm of rad is enough to cool a Phenom2 and a 7870, yup.

Ookay, thank's for help, now i have to just figure out, how i fit those on silverstone sugo sg02 matx-case...

Can't help with that but with the 1/4 tubing and no need for an additional pump you can be very creative in setting everything up.

Heh, yes, i will try to be creative

I'm going to need to redo my tubing soon and I was looking to move to 1/4 tubing myself.
The cheapo tubing from Homedepot has clouded pretty badly, but otherwise the water still looks clear and cooling is fine. I had always planned to do some creative assembly anyways and the smaller tubing will allow for interesting pathways.

Haha, do it and show us, i was myself planning to buy some tubing from ebay, becose it's cheaper there than store where i was going to buy those, but how long i have to wait then?, i dont know, ebay have also 1/4" connector's, what i could use to connect watertank

Check my H40 mod, pretty similar, I ended up getting the water bug and going full water though, results were great with what I did though. (I did the same with an H70 too)

I have now 10/8mm tubing if i'm not wrong, 4 metre's, bought it becose was cheap, then bag of ziptie's,
i haven't choose yeat what pc i'm going to cool with those, becose i have sold my 6970 so "i can ounly build now 2 pc" to gaming
(HD6990+HD7870), i "need" 2 pc, mainpc and matx pc, and becose i have tested some intel now, i was planning to build matx mainpc, and atx secondary pc,

maby i wc my secondary pc when i get mainpc finished, have to think about...

good, became a tester for a new AIO gpu bracket. I might wait for that to come in before mounting the 780 to the loop.thanks

Hey guys. Updated the main page to be a little more formal.
I've redone my tubing using Duerelene and moved to using 1/4 ID and 3/8 ID to limit the modded barbs. The old loop lasted a whole year with no issues, save for plasticizer in the tubing, however it didn't cause any issues in the loop or affect cooling. Just looked bad.




As much as I wanted to run tubing in "interesting way" I found myself stuck. I did move one rad around a little, which added more tubing, some may like it others probably won't, as far as appearances go. Just part of the fun I guess!

I also feel like I need a different reservoir to really get creative with the tubing layout. The 300R is limited to where I can run things and still put the panels back on.

Next stages are to create a cooling plate for my GPU heat plate over the PCB. With a block only cooling the Die that PCB plate cooks!
I was inspired by a modder Mike in the "The Mod" discussion where he created a copper plate and tubing to create his own water block. I plan to do something similar!

I've also got a video cooking showing when I redid my loop. I think it would be helpful to show others how easy or hard it is, a totally raw video, with no prep, just an idea, and an hour of time

looking good APP..makes me wish i had my res by know..but still waiting on a delivery:thumb:

 

[Nukemaster]

Every time I see people do this, I want to try it as well

 

[Aparition]

Cheers guys. I wish I could speed this project up a bit. Life just has other plans

Nice!

In trying to quiet some noisy 1250 pumps, I seems to have removed any ability they had to pump fluid (on the plus side - it is a heap quieter!) but given that the machine now runs to hot within minutes, I will be running a similar experiment on the 620's older, older brother this week. I'll keep the camera handy and upload my progress!

 

[john420]

what are milimeters of the tubes used here?? im doing the same mod soon and i would like no what to order..

The ones that go on the cooler fittings and those to put on top of those?
