Warning : DO NOT post anything other than pictures/configurations of YOUR watercooling setup, screenies, etc. Please keep this thread clean and neat. To discuss about watercooling and results, click here. Thanks.

Overclockers United is getting a little stale so lets just spice things up shall we? Lets just post pictures of our watercooling setup along with screenies!



I'll start with my setup, a 24/7 folding@home AMD system.

AMD AthlonXP 1800+ DLT3C NIUHB 0334WPMW @ 2.54GHz @ 1.85v
Kingston HyperX PC3200 @ 242FSB 1:1 Dual Channel 2-2-2-11-1T @ 3.25vdimm
DFI NFII Ultra Infinity w/ Oskar Wu's 04/1/21 bios, 1.8vdd
Antec TruePower 480W

DangerDen RBX Lucite Top, 1/2" Fittings
Double Heatercore, 1/2" Fittings
Evercool 120mm fans x 4, Push n' Pull Config.
Nirox P3800 Pump
bulkhy's Custom Made Cylindrical Acrylic Reservoir
aleck's "Super Oil Tubings"
Distilled water. No additional coolant, yet.

First off is the Heatercore,

and comes the reservoir,

along with pics of the crudely sealed Nirox pump,

and of course, a shot of the entire wc system. Pretty simple loop w/o the GPU block.

The acrylic reservoir's shining glow is an effect of a Sunbeam's UV LaserLED passing through them. Quite pretty, but the heatercore's still without any fan shrouds sad.gif No pics of the RBX block as it's available all over the net.

Finally, here's a temperature screenie of the system running full-load folding@home (project 859) for >4 hours.
User posted image

At an ambient temperature of 32cą, the watercooling setup records an average load of 44cą, an increase of 12cą above ambient, with a 80wą processor, comes an amazing 0.15c/wą efficiency. Pretty "cool" I'd say. But of course, they are nothing more than guesstimates as I do not know the actual cpu temperatures and the wattages produced on the waterblock itself. smile.gif IIRC 2.2GHz @ default 1.5v does 35c idle and 37c/38cą full load. Will post up screenies of them later.

In the meantime, do post up pictures / screenshots / config of your own watercooling setup as well.

Edited : Changed the image storage provider. UploadIt.org expires sad.gif
Again, please post your questions & thoughts about watercooling here. Thanks. smile.gif

My first WC setup: (courtesy of bulkhy):
block ~ DDM3
pump ~ nirox P2800 (leaking all over so i used epoxy to fix it)
rad ~ custom made by bulkhy
res ~ custom made by bulkhy (very nice acrylic)
tubing ~ bought from hardware shop. RM0.60 a feet. aleck please send me better one.

Comment: ~ The temp slightly better than SP94/Tornado and I can sleep better now with the pc running 24/7. This WC setup meant for my next Mobile Barton setup. But with this result, I think I shud have one more set.

Here's my screenies after 25 hours 2 instances of prime at 3.5GHz. I am shooting for 3.6GHz stable.

Distilled water. No additional coolant.

Repositioned the heatercore to a better spot, added a little extra cooling aiming at the casing/motherboard and PCI exhaust blower to combat the heat generated from my new 9800SE-256bit, and voila! Mobile/Barton DOES run cooler than a Throughbred smile.gif

43c on load, 36c idle @ 32c ambient.

my temporary watercooling setup smile.gif

1/4" tubing system
pump + reservoir - estimated rating at 150 liter per hour
radiator - 4 pass 4 rows + cooled by NMB fan at full speed
waterblock - i think using spiral design, but donno what material for the block.

performance = slk700 + smartfan2 laugh.gif
but still cool when water meets electric rite?? laugh.gif

This is my watercooling setup:

W/block: Jet Impingement Water block by aleck
Rad: Bulkhy's custom made
Res: Car brake fluid container
Tubing: Alech's tygon tube
Pump: Nirox P2800
Fan: 2x120mm NMB fan

So here u go.. the water block..

overall look..

System:

- Lian Li PC6070A - Abit AI7
- P4 3.0C @ 3.54Ghz - 236fsb 1.6V
- 2x512MB Mushkin PC3200 Black Special 222


Temp:

Idle - no idle
Load - 49C

Btw, im not really satisfied wif my temp tho. Its kinda high. Im xpecting my temp to be lower than dis, below than 45C. Do Abit mobos really report high temp than it is? My temp b4 water cooled is around 62-64C w/out sidepanel n 68-70C wif sidepanel. IM still happy wif the setup. Managed to hit 236fsb at the moment, was at 226fsb. Mayb hav to get better radiator n pump? Any suggestion do pm me. Ok thanks.

Review:

Both the TDX and Maze4 GPU block has a pretty smooth and even base. Needs no lapping unlike my previous RBX. Estimated grit is around 600-800 grits. Very nice and clean. The INSIDE of the TDX is very shiny as well, in fact I've yet to see a block with the innards as shiny as the TDX. Unlike the RBX the base of the TDX now touches the 4 "core-protector" (I just cant remember the word!) and needs no additional ones placed on the sides to prevent the core from getting crushed.

Both performs well, and when placed together in a loop w/ a P2800 Nirox (Hydor L20 clone) along with a bulkhy's custom rad, temperature of the CPU is only around 47c full load Folding @ 2600mhz/1.85vcore(bios), 31c ambient. GPU core increased from 390mhz with stock heatsink to 440MHz core w/ slight unnoticable artifacts.

TDX is using the default accelerator plates and from the looks of it, the RBX plates should fit nicely.

Hie there, newbie here and hope to learn more here..anyway here's my bong (evaporative) setup. I know it won't work that efficient in hot and humid weather here in malaysia but still giving it a try as i'm quite out of budget for a heatercore/radiator for the time being. Anyway here's the spec and pictures:

CPU: AMD Barton 2500+
Clock Speed: 2.3gig (200X11.5)
RAM: 256 X 2 hynix d43 module
Waterblock: DangerDen RBX
Voltage : 2V
Temp (idle) CPU: 45 Case:33
Temp (load) CPU: 52 Case:35

Still looking for highest possible overclock and haven't relli mess with the ram yet.
