SlaterSpeeds 'Liquified' - Update 09/08/04 - Stage2 Started!! (Painting)

How are you planning to mount that CPU waterblock? If I'm not mistaken the Gigabyte boards don't have mounting holes around the socket...

 

Im not using the gigabyte board, its dead!

Im using the hardware in my sig

 

oic....

 

My G/byte board has mounting holes...

.: Fillip :.

 

w00t tubing and sleaving arrived 2day!



I will order some barbs and more stuff on my work account before the end of the week so i may be able to get this thing going within a week or 2!

 

looking sweet

I have been toying with the idea of attaching a Rad to the inside of the side of my case too

 

Soz bout the lack of updates here Im back at collage full time so only have weekends to get this finished (till easter at least).

But anyway I have made some progress

The barbs came so ive drilled those out to size and fitted them to the block and pump.

The biggest change is to the rad. The position of the original Barbs was all wrong when i put it together with the NF7 mobo so i have changed back to the original idea (ish).

I put most of the bits together in a loop because i was bord



I had some small probs with that brass Y that i got from coolercases. Its just the wrong angle so the tubing i cut is slightly kinked but it think i can solve this with a better Y. Im having trouble routing tube from Cpu >Rad aswell as space is so tight. The core looks relly crappy and ameture at the mo but im hoping to get that fixed with a bit of filler and paint (at least its not leaking)

I think what im going to do is try and get My res done and then concentrate on getting the thing up and working. The project is starting to grind as nothing seames to go/look right but im sure i will sort it.

 

it works yay

 

Hey man, great work you got going on here. Its kewl to see you keeping such a positive attitude when everything isnt quiet going to plan, its real dedication.
Hope to see some more progress over easter.

Got alot of the problems ironed out today

Got the cpu block mounted up and used the mobo (NF7) out of my 2nd rig to get the tubing cut. Its looking like it will fit easyer than i thought







The only bit im missing for stage 1 now is the res which i have started and should have done pretty soon

 

You done a nice job here, I like what your doing here.
A question; where are you going to put the reservoir because that's a problem in my setup i can't seem to find a place for my reservoir.

 

Thanks The res will go in the top 2 5.25" bays with the filler cap sticking out of the top of the case

 

Res teaser pics

 

That looks awesome so far.
I wish I had some of that equipment so I could manufacture some stuff on my own.
btw, why is the plate in the middle of the block curved? Is that to improve water flow so that cooler water is expelled out the block? or just for flow? or something else I duno about, or have forgotten?

Can't wait to see it finished. keep up the great work.

 

Are we talking res or block here? the res has a baffle in it but its not curved athough the pic may make it look curved. Its basicly to slow the water down and make sure the bubbles have time to rise

 

thats damn sweet

 

very nice looking res

 

damn this is looking nice, love the wb and res..

 

looking mint m8 does any one know were i can get a res from for my Thermaltake Aquarius 2 i want a bay res but the barbs there too big lol oh well any one have any ideas if so post on project sonic dont want to nick this thred i am also guessing that you made ur res ur self mint mate
