He thibks hes on the enterprise ;)
I ran a stage 3 diagnostic on the quantum pulse reactor and found out that it lacked tri-phase couplers that controlled all 5 cooling banks.
So i emailed geordie le forge and he said i needed one of these... http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/prod...N-SENTLX&af=50 :p
lol, that's huge
Thats what they all say. :up2:
Got some stuff today. :)...... took my scythe kazemaster back and got me one of these . I can control 5 sets of fans with this controller....was gonna struggle with the scythe. also got me a custom double orange LED for my xspc res.... :)

Gonna make a start tmoro. thing is im giving my son my antec 900 and psu and p5k mobo....he has a p5k mobo exact same model as mine, but i pencil modded mine a while back and cant be bothered to do it again.
Im gonna clock his e5200 chip....already clocked his 8800 gts/512mb so he needs a good case for cooling........my 4870x2 hasnt arrived but ive sold my 4870/1gb so im gonna have to sort his rig out first so im not offline for long.
looking good mate :)
cool D-Tek Fuzion :D
i'm gonna add some pics later of my Akasa Duality in the WC gallery. I just changed the water to Feser acid green uv.
I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product :)
Yes....thanks to you lloyd....really appreciate it mate. :up2:Quote:

So i dont use the mount its already on i take it? i use the seperate 1 in the box? was gonna make a start today with mounting the block but i didnt get a mid chamber quad core insert with my order. just emailed them so ive had to put it on hold again.
TBH mate ive heard the mid mount can increase the temps - general consensus seems to be you don't need it !?!?!
yep, all i've heard is that it increases temps, so i left it out of mine
I emailed them and told them i will have another orange triple led instead. i cant wait till tuesday anyway. i need my rig up and running this week.
update....put psu in and front hard drive caddy. some more braiding. taking my case to a graphics shop today. scanning and lazer cutting of some vinyl methinks. :)
keep the updates coming m8
Changing all my tubing for brighter orange tubing (long story) also recieved a 12" double white cathodes instead of uv....gotta go back.
Case goes back to graphics place on friday for fitting if they received the special vinyl that sticks to brushed aluminium.
Update time again.....
Decided the dvd drive looked el naffo grey and didnt go with anything in the case....so it was out with the simoniz satin black tough paint.

Also stealthed the front with original tj07 ally front besel...

Out comes the car trim tape again (dunno how i could live without it, it also comes in handy for your car.)
http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...Picture022.jpg
The dvd drive is going under the xspc clear bay res with x2 orange leds, i want to highlight the leds, so i decided to put some of my tin foil sticky tape on the top to reflect the light a bit more. i also lined the inside of the hard drive bay caddy for my triple led aswell.

Rigged it up to my spare psu to test it... you just press besel where the button is, and hey presto. :)
looks sweet mate, just hope you dont forget where that button is lol
could you not fit a button into the case for it? not sure how simple it is to get to drive buttons to wire them up.
Don't need too, i just press bottom right and it opens. :)
Update time again....spent a good 4 hours yesterday and 3 today and its starting to come along nicely....used a whole hour just getn the drive bay to open properly, as it was touching the top of the fan controller...then when i had sorted that out i put the res in and it was touching the bottom of that. so i had to start from scratch again and cut the lips off top and bottom and file them down....sorted it eventually.
Put the d-tek on with some mx2.....compression fittings dont fit....touching eachother, so had to use normal barbs.
http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...Picture046.jpg
Zee pump....
http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...Picture029.jpg
graphics card was also a problem....could only fit compression fittings on the bottom as they foul the pcb, and there was no way around that either.
http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...Picture049.jpg
Tubing time....i used the spare tubing i had to measure and fit just in case i made a mistake as i wasn't sure if i had enough if i cut 1 the wrong length.
Had a slight problem with the pump. it was tilted to the side and looked naff, but that's where i wanted it so i cut some bits of foam and jammed it underneath, sorted.

leak testing......
http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...Picture062.jpg
Been 2 hours now and all dry....had a bit foam in the res but all gone and just a few little bubbles left......tapped tubing to get rid of bubbles that were clinging to the sides and its looking good.. gonna leave overnight then start some cable managment tmoro.
I might leave the anti kink coils off, havent got any kinks and i like the clean look tbh....see how i feel. thanks for looking.
Looking good mate - very smart
I should hopefully start my "mini upgrade" on Tuesday and im also thinking of ditching my coils TBH
Keep the updates coming ;)
Looking awesome mate - love it :up2:
Very nice m8 10/10 for your first WC build
Was that your first - then that is absolutly superb mate
Thanks guys.:)
Update....
Still on with the cable tidying.....nightmare....theres about 20 wires just from the fan controller alone. and the temp sensors just reach some places, so they stretch across the gap between the mobo tray and the main 5.25" uprights.
You could also see the cables from the fan controller and the ide cable and molexes above the pump.
so it was improvisation time again.....(was gonna order some black acrylic but wouldnt have got it till late next week) were getting a new fridge freezer cos the bottom tray keeps icing up in our frost free fridge, so i had to take the bottom tray out the other day.
http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...Picture089.jpg
A few quick measurements and my trusty hack saw.
http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...cture090-1.jpg
Cut a groove for the ide cable, Filled down the edges and sanded.

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...Picture093.jpg
Will post pics of them fitted tmoro as the paint is still wet.
kool, keep the updates coming mate, I may be a n00b at all this but I really do find it interesting.
When did you "notice" that the fridge freezer needed replacing? Not that you needed anything from it for your rig >.>
I noticed a while back ha ha....just cant be arsed to keep removing the ice....so took out the draw. :)
Was hoping to fire the baby up this weekend, but ive ordered some 12" orange cathodes for the bottom and im still waiting for another set of 12" uv cathodes from chilled (they are sold out) and also a black sata cable and black thumbscrews. so wont be till next weekend now. :(
Just fired the baby up......OMFG........its full of stars......4870x2 is the dogs. 27c idle on cpu....gotta go to work. :(
Update time again..... got my 2 xigmatech fans to replace the coolermasters and got another set of uv lights and a 1Tb samsung hard drive.
http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...1/IMG_4295.jpg
Also got a couple of black sata cables.
http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...1/IMG_4296.jpg
