Scratch Build – In Progress OPTERON PRIME - Supermicro 4P folding mayham - folding numbers

Right. Where was I?
Oh right. I had fitted the modules and the waterblocks and then the light went dim outside
Well I took some photos to show you guys.
I will toss in another update right after, because I picked up something this morning and I just can't wait to show you guys :shaky:

btw the mobo is getting VERY heavy now. I hope this many waterblocks on there won't cause any trouble.

 

Sexy hardware. Erm, why are those photos taken 20+ days ago?

 

plumbing won't be easy here

 

Because I usually make a bit of a backlog so I can keep a constant flow of updates for the people that enjoy weekly updates. And when I have to wait for parts a few weeks my log doesn't die for weeks on end making people think it won't be finished.

You are correct, but I'd like to think of it as a....challenge

 

Ah, I see. So,when we will see MBO block on MBO with other sweet hardware?

 

I stopped looking in the logs for a month so that I can let all the logs I'm following to get some progress... and lo and behold I saw a new build by hukkel... uh sir when did you start such a crazy build?? Guess ill have to put a tab on this one and grats on your sponsorships

 

since watercooling loops reaches a overall temperature and stabalizes it, it doesnt really matter where the rads are in the loop.. so he could just do this

and having the tubes enter and leave from the top of the board and going around in a way the the tubes are hidden.

 

This project clearly doesn't have enough waterblocks.

 

Sick build, love it!

 

i'd split that wc into two loops. one for each 2 cpu and 2 ram blocks.

 

+1
Although its not an OC loop so the temps will be very low anyway with minimal thermal saturation.
I dont know enough about Opteron thermal dynamics to say much more,one loop is certainly do-able IMHO

 

I have actually done a few things but I have been away on holiday and I am also finishing my other project. I just ordered plexi panels and a lot of fillports and can go from there again. Due to a communication error I received the wrong radiators. EKWB were kind enough to replace these for the correct ones and they are also upgrading me to their newest black HD tubing fittings. So a small bit of delay. But in the end it will help the build.

Thank you very much my good sir.
I started on this quite recently. You're still in time to follow the maddness

The tubes will indeed be routing over the top. Correct. But I will be using 2 separate loops.

Thanks JJ!

Thanks for your input Ricardo.
So you would separate in a left and right loop (left and right side of the mobo)?
I was thinking cpus and ram separately because the ram modules are much higher placed. So I would have two separate loops in different depths of the view.

True. One loop is doable and has been done before. But the eye wants some candy as well
Plus I want to have some overhead for when possible AMD cards are added to the system as well.

 

This is monsta vata kuula

 

The southbridge-ery looks left out. I say go with the spaghetti look- Run everything parallel!! A little red in the coolant, and it'll look like the inside of a tauntaun.

 

I was going to say that. All that water only for there to be two horrid whirry little fans left

Hopefully this gets the GPU backing it deserves and they'll be buried under four Titans (or something).

 

You Sir are composed mainly of Win.

Forget the parallel nonsense,Roll with the intestines look for awesomesauce

 

woot woot

 

That really is a lot of awesome kit !
