Dear lord, almost after 3 months of waiting for Asus, ASROCK, AMD, to launch new mobo and cpu, EK to replace my blocks, and what not...my WC rig will finally be almost ready. This is by far the most expensive PC I've ever built in my life lol. I should have it ready by next week! It's gonna be a Corsair 800D (bought this 2 months ago ) There's room for an RX480 on top (external) and in the rear (External) If I add these 2 rads I will have 14 x 120mm I need to get some lian li casters and install them to the casing, it's so heavy and cumbersome to move as-is. I don't know how brother owikh84 move his PC lol

Yes that's what I need. Gotta find out where to get them. I've Pmed a guy but not sure if he carries them. It's incredibly difficult to move something like that without wheels.

Thanks! I just sent him a PM. Getting my last few fitting tomorrow hopefully I can gau dim everything these 2 days. I've been wondering if I should get the EK GPU Bridge

You can use any radiator you want, it'd likely perform better but will be really ghetto.

Damn I've been playing with the loop for like 2-3 days now and it looks like my total loop would be around 9-10 ft I guess I need to add another pump in the future.

Hey, get an AC and hook it up to the PC It's going to be cheaper than WC I can guarantee you that lol

Does anybody know where can I get rubber grommet to cover up holes? I don't want to use the stock grommet that comes with the casing. I know nicholasteoh sells it but he is taking awhile to reply and I wanna get the rig running

It only costs me RM38 more to go EK gpu bridge vs other solution (d-plug/crystal link, and etc). I cannot decide if I should get the bridge. It seems like most EK's link can be reused on newer blocks but going dplug/crystal link would be future proof. I don't need to see through the liquid.

Leak testing overnight. So far so good for over a few hours

Will take picture after i gau dim everything. Technically the rig is about 95% completed. I am still missing a cable for the second EZ plug, black fan connectors, rubber grommet, and casters.

I've been OCing since this morning after reinstalling windows. So far my 2500k Costa Rica can do 4.9ghz @ 1.35. My water temp is only 29C and XSPC LCD sensor that I placed beneath the cpu block is reporting 32C (probably not very accurate, might have to stick it deeper in). AI Suite is saying CPU is 49C. Looks like there are quite a bit more room to go hehe

Some quick pictures I took earlier:

Dell 30", 2 x Dell 2007FP


800D


After lots of planning, this is my layout


Temporary crystal link borrowed from Ezzy. Rubber grommet hasn't arrived, using masking tape for now. Don't want to destroy the original grommet. All Copper blocks, didn't wanna deal with plating issues, fixed or not. Polished with brasso so they look real shinny in person. XSPC sensor at bottom left direct cpu temp monitor. Pump behind 240mm rad, hidden. Only one 90degree elbow used. These 2 cards can barely drive my 30", I'm adding a third card later this year hence the gap in between. Rig costs over 5 digits if you include the monitors


Currently I have the rig at: http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/110209...00k-5-1ghz.html )

I don't have the part to place the gpu there atm. I need to get ezzy to order in black d-plugs for me. Not a fan of the crystal link. I will fill in a third card later.

Added on August 27, 2011, 9:16 pmI need to get some decals to cover up the yellow bridge, it's unsightly

Cut and mail me a piece!

5.2 passed with 1.5V, testing 5.3 now. Getting toasty, load temp is 70C

2 instances of prime. 1 x Large, 1 x blend.

Getting 5.3 stable is really hard. With vcore at 1.5, VRM switch frequency @ 500, it failed. (didn't BSOD but worker failed)

I bumped VRM frequency mode all the way to 1100khz and it is running fine, for now

Also, don't ask me why but temperature even dropped....65C now. I read a thread in OC.net that you may be able to OC higher by lowering PLL voltage. Don't you just love Corsair PSU? The rails are rock solid

The only regret I had with the PSU is that I didn't buy at least 1000w. If I add another gpu I'd need to change the PSU too. Damn kau sleepy. At Sepang waiting to test drive some vw lol

Alright, all my parts came in today and I changed out a few parts, here's the final rig for now:
(Pictures taken with Sony NEX5 + Carl Zeiss Biogon C 35mm f2.8 and Sony 16mm f2.8)

I love to keep the front clean. I'm planning to get a Lamptron FC-8 and reverse mount it inside of the casing to lower all the fan speed down to a dead silent level


I'm a day trader and tbh I still do not have enough screen real estate, there's another monitor that I didn't include in the picture. All panels are IPS/M-PVA. My friend works in dell and I got these at an extremely good price.
Dell 2007FP / Dell U3011 / Dell 2007FP
1200 x 1600 / 2560 x 1600 / 1200 x 1600
4960 x 1600


Trusty Saitek Eclipse 2, recently painted matte black. 2 years old, and still working as good as new. By far the best non mechanical keyboard I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot of keyboards. There's an MX5500 inside of my drawer right below the Saitek . Logitech G500, got it on sale. Looking to replace my mousepad, probably will get a Steelseries S&S.







There's still air in the res as I just flushed the system and these are brand new GIANT distilled water




Angle is very important for me. Keeping the bottom tube straight and the top tube naturally angled isn't easy.




5.1ghz 12 hour prime stable. CPU-Z is reading 1.5v Vcore but it's really 1.480 measured with my Mastercraft multimeter. Multimeter is about as accurate as most fluke DMM. I pulled 2 rams out and ran the rams at stock just to make sure I could pass prime. I've put back the other 2 pieces of 4gb and am now running 16gb @ 1.50v 1600mhz. Will prime this again tonight. For some reason I cannot run the ram at 1866mhz while many were able to oc this at 9 9 9 2x 2000mhz 1.5v.

Aiyah my rig incomparable to yours still la You know how much water I spilled while draining the system today? I used 3 towers to keep the water from overflowing.

I tried 1.60V with 16gb and it couldn't boot. Got stuck in bios boot loop. So I kinda gave up and went priming at 1600mhz now just to make sure I can even run them at this speed albeit they are stock settings. I read Gskill's fine print online that 9-9-9-24 2T 1.5V is guaranteed only with 2 sticks There's no guarantee that it'd run with 4 sticks

Anyway if I wake up tomorrow and it fails I'd just up VCCIO and VDRAM to see if things work better.

I read that when you increase the vdram on SB way above 1.5V it causes instability. I'm not worried about the voltage, I've moved my XSPC sensor to the rams and with 15gb+ fully loaded in prime blend the rams are only hitting 29-31C (22-23C ambient)

There's no leak in my rig it's just that when I pulled the pipe to drain the water, water was coming out from both direction and I was unprepared lol. All the GPUS are slightly sagging, I'm thinking of a method of help lift the gpus up so that they don't bend the PCIE slot. If you look carefully, the PCIE slots are bent towards the rear

Not gonna bother with the backplate. They are RM80 a piece, and won't make my card any faster.

I could always install back the original plate. But it's not gonna matter, my rotary is right above the gpu's core-back and even with the back plate there's a cut out right there where the water would drop onto

The casing can close without issue, there's about 1" clearance from the side panel.
