Huhu..as what I expected..the parcel came in today..yeah its from APES...but not really 'came in' need to RV with GDex guys outside..maybe because Sepangar Naval Base is quite far from town.. tongue.gif

This is what I've been waiting for...

Small but full of important things for this build..

Look so fragile the tube..don't what to do first.. blink.gif I'll update the list of the fittings on my #1 post of this thread..

But I guess this will be the first part of the fittings..some of my required fittings APES doesn't have stock for it..so I'll try to order it somewhere else..but my priority is to get it locally first.. nod.gif

Hello guys..here are some updates for my build..

I start the fitting installation..but then I realized that the radiator is too thick and doesn't provide me clearance to install the multilink C47 fittings to the GPU.. sad.gif the singularity client build 9 used the gtx 770 reference card hence it much smaller..So I need to replace the radiator with the BlackIce GTS 240..

Remove the BlackIce GTX 240..

user posted image

I paint the top panel flat black..

user posted image

user posted image

user posted image

Since the top panel itself are 3mm thick + fan 25mm thick..the use of 30mm screw doesn't bite well on the radiator..I change it to 40mm screw..but seem to be too long..need to cut a bit..

user posted image

Put the fan grill underneath the radiator to protect it fins...

user posted image

Install these daughter-board to the motherboard.. smile.gif

Strip down the case..paint it to flat black..

user posted image

Here are the top panel picture that need to lifted around 10mm to make the radiator fitting align with the GPU inlet fitting..

user posted image

Still not align after top panel lifted..but i think it is acceptable to install the acrylic tube..

user posted image

The first tube insert..like hell to install it due to clearance is too small..

user posted image

As for the rest of the fitting already installed..but I still need to buy some extender to make the tube align with each multilink connector..mind the GTX 240 radiator..just to show the fitting location only..will be replaced by the GTS 240..

Hello..just small progress..these are somethings that I made for the past few days..

I try to make the reservoir bracket out of acrylic sheet..haha

user posted image

user posted image

Then after sanding it..move on to paint it matte black..

user posted image

What look like it will fit the radiator but it is not...I miscalculate the screw gap between the radiator.. rclxub.gif And I broke it after try to push it to fit the holes.. cry.gif

So only one bracket survive and useable..so any one out there who have this bracket and would like sell it just PM me..

user posted image

After a lot of frustration..yesterday my wife came from outstation at Miitary Hospital @ Wangsa Maju area..and brought me an important package fro abidgreen93..thanks bro..

user posted image

user posted image

There goes half of my salary this month..this upcoming Hari Raya..huhhhh sweat.gif I ask abidgreen93 not to tell my wife the price..or else I'll be dead..hahaha laugh.gif

user posted image

So I proceed with the installation using the precut tube from abidgreen93..I found out that this tube is a a lot easier to be inserted to the Cristal Link C47 fittings..

user posted image

Oh yea..that picture I still use the GTX radiator..I currently waiting for the GTS radiator from niclasteoh..Also install the EK X-RES 140 pump top + reservoir..

user posted image

....that's all guys..maybe I try my best to complete this after Hari Raya holiday..hope by then all the parts I ordered has arrived..

Hi guys..this may be the last update because I'll be going for Hari Raya Holiday starting today..I hope the project will be completed after Hari Raya..I'll be returning on 9th Aug.. tongue.gif

This is what came in yesterday..I order 2 units Swiftech 8 Way PWM distributor from GBros..as a replacement what been used in Build 9 of Singularity..all the fan will be hook up to this PCB..

user posted image

Next I continue the loop from the CPU waterblock to the upper radiator and use this Bitspower Flow Sensor (BP-FS-CLBKSL)..don't know where to connect the flow sensor wire.. icon_question.gif

user posted image

After that..I connect the final tube using Bitspower BP-WTP-C68 Silver Shining IG1/4" Multi-Link Adapter..there goes the complete loop..

user posted image

Even though the loop is complete..when looking at the space between the reservoir and motherboard make me worry..how I'm gonna secure all the cable in such limited space.. rclxub.gif

I hope the radiator will be available soon..maybe I'll try using slimmer fan for the front radiator..lets think about it after Raya..must eat lemang first..hahaha drool.gif

user posted image

HAPPY HOLIDAY GUYS..See you soon.. smile.gif

Hello..hmmm still in raya mode... tongue.gif

here are some updates on this project..

I received a parcel from niclasteoh containing the BlackIce GTS 240 radiator and 2 units of Lamptron Valdal Momentary switches (red dot / ring)..

user posted image

So I disassemble the BlackIce GTX 240 radiator and transfer the reservoir to the new radiator..you can see the different in thickness..

user posted image

user posted image

user posted image

Then, this morning I notice the front panel that I sent for laser cutting has arrived on my desk..I should done it manually like singularity but hehe too lazy.. sweat.gif

user posted image

The color is not darker than I thought it would be..but it is still acceptable.. smile.gif

user posted image

user posted image

All the parts are here..I guess I'll start the most challenging part of this project..to assemble all the cable and fix the loop together.. sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif

Hi guys..sorry kind of busy for the pass few days.. sad.gif

I would like to post some updates..since the front panel is complete. I proceed to drill 4 x 6mm hole at the edge of the case..

user posted image

user posted image

Test the front panel..it fit but please notice that all the 4 corner of it need to be trim rounded a bit to give way for the case feet and top handle..

user posted image

Next I'm going to sleeve the front panel fans and the vandal switches that I received earlier..Actually I would like to use the same fan as the top panel..but no stock at APES..anyone have extra can PM me.. icon_question.gif

Alternatively I use my extra Corsair SP 120 PWM fans..

user posted image

This is the vandal switches and the cable extender that came with the MAXIMUS IMPACT VI..

user posted image

Haha..here are the final outcome..the work in between no need to mention..like hell.. rclxub.gif

user posted image

Finally I got a suitable place to mount the HDD and SSD..I guess.. wink.gif

I also do some sleeving to the cable for molex connector..first time successfully made the full molex cable sleeving..hahaha

user posted image

The molex is dedicated for the pump and for LED also in the future..

user posted image

will make cable management later..

user posted image

The lower part..below the pump is too crowded and I dont have any idea how to cover this as what I plan to do.. rclxub.gif

user posted image

So time to fill the loop..... rclxm9.gif

Hi guys..

The loop already filled..and the pump running perfectly fine using my 12V DC adapter..but when connect everything..the PC won't turn on... sad.gif sad.gif

So I decided to give it a try using the original cable first..I suspect that my wiring skill haven't improve at all since the last build..damnnn... vmad.gif

user posted image

Using the original cable the system up and running fine..So I tested 1 by 1 my custom cable..

user posted image

These are the culprit..other than these cables all working great..first cable that failed is EPS cable..8 pin and 6 pin PCI-E cables..feel stupid sometime.. sweat.gif

user posted image

Thanks for the help of this PSU tester..save me a burned PSU..

Hello..it has been more than a month since I last update this post..quite busy because I involved in organizing the 14th Asia Pacific Submarine Conference here in Kota Kinabalu..

Ok..here are some updates on this project..some finding and lesson learn also I guess.. blink.gif

First of all..I already try to search online the correct PSU cable pinout for my AX760..but useless when nothing found online..so I decided to compare the pinout with my SilverStone Strider Gold..then I learn that all PSU has a different pin out toward the PSU and the same pin out toward the output (motherboard)..stupidly I has wired all the custom cable I made same as the Strider Gold except for the 24 pin cable..

SATA power cable (right is Strider Gold and left is AX760)..
user posted image user posted image

MOLEX power cable (right is Strider Gold and left is AX760)..
user posted image user posted image

8 pin PCI-e cable (right is Strider Gold and left is AX760)..
user posted image user posted image

See the different..I thought it is a standard layout..but it is different..those pictures show the pinout toward the PSU end..

No wonder my PC won't start..luckily not another burning PSU..so as quick solution I order these from khfoong81..hand it over to the expert,,LOL.. tongue.gif
1 x 24pin PSU cable 15cm sleeveless
1 x 8pin EPS cable 15cm sleeveless
1 x 6pin PCI-e cable 10cm sleeveless
1 x 8pin PCI-e cable 15cm sleeveless
4 x PWM extender 20cm black sleeve

user posted image

So the system is now working after slight changes in my MOLEX and SATA power cable pinout (just copy the same pinout as AX760) biggrin.gif

I also made a top fan replacement..since the NoisBlocker is too hard to get..I replace both top fan to Corsair SP120 PWM..

hi..

continue my update..after all the cables working great..I plan to drain the system to change the coolant..before I used the EK coolant UV green add with mayhems deep red dye..hope to see it red in colour...but....

here is what it like when expose to sunlight...greennnnn...if in dark room it is red..I guess the effect from the UV itself..

user posted image

user posted image

prepare to drain..even though I installed the drain valve in the loop, I haven't drill a hole at the bottom of the casing..so need to attach my extra tube.. tongue.gif

user posted image

As for replacement I use the XSPC Blood Red Coolant..thanks GBros..

user posted image

Fill the loop with more than half of bottle coolant..

user posted image

and now it is red..yes bloody red mate..

user posted image

And finally a few touch on lighting using 2 x SilverStone LED Strip White..

user posted image

Up and running...but not finish yet.. biggrin.gif I think you all knew what still missing..hehehe stay tune.. cool2.gif cool2.gif cool2.gif
