I think I just wet myself...
Incredible project!!! and those cards.... mmmmmm......

 

Slick work so far. Couple of things I've noticed:

1) If you want the extra PCI bays free, Koolance sells single-slot GeForce brackets (as well as Radeon brackets). Might be worth a look.

2) That quad-core insert on the Fuzion is meant for Intel quad-cores.

dtekcustoms.com: "The Quad Core Insert replaces the default FuZion v2 insert to provide more optimized directed cooling for the Intel® split quad core processors."

Since Core 2 quad-cores are technically just two dual-cores put on one slab of silicon (i.e. two separate processors), there's a physical gap between them. The idea of that insert is to split the flow of liquid so the individual processors get more directly hit with water. On a native quad-core like Phenom, all the quad-core insert will do is direct the water towards opposite edges of the processor, leaving the middle area essentially untouched. Hate to rain on your parade, but you'll most likely get better temps without the insert in place.

@phinix - Thanks man! I've not yet had a chance to play with these cards.. I opted instead to rip them and their warranties apart first, but I'm excited for my AquaComputer delivery in a couple weeks time. Unfortunately they were out of stock on the MultiSwitch, so I'll have to wait about 10days before they can send out my shipment.

@Diosjenin - I'll actually be manufacturing my own PCI brackets from copper plate, but thanks a lot for the link. Furthermore thanks so much for explaining the purpose of the insert. I just threw it into my cart at NCIX because it was recommended by their checkout robot, and it was only a couple bucks. As I mentioned earlier I've not yet installed it, but armed with this new info I think I know the perfect place to install it - the rubbish bin. Thanks again mate!

 

A small teaser for you all. I took delivery of my secret weapon today:



Don't bother asking where, some of, this will be used... that's a surprise. (I'm looking at you, Craig).

I will let you that a portion of this will go towards my next project - new cases for all my home theater gear, including the HTPC.

 

Um, that's a hella lot of carbon fiber.... Whatcha gonna do with it?

 

HOLY CRAP! that is Tons of CARBON FIBER!!!! what the hell are you doing with it! Building a Ferrari ?! Come one Better for you to bring me an update

 

Is your secret weapon the drinks can?

he haven't seen the side panels in a while, they going to be custom CF panels?

 

I GOT IT

He will change the Copper with Carbon Fiber, He is not into Copper any more. Carbon Fiber magic got him away :

OR

He will do the Custom Things he draw with Carbon Fiber. But I don't think so.

 

na, its definately the drinks can, he'll mod it into a kiss ass res, of course the can is for the prototype, the real deal will be in copper, as everything thats been aluminium so far will be replaced with copper, as he said!

 

aha. But what the hell he will do with carbon fiber! IT'S A LOT of CF!!!!!!!! I think he can do 5 cases with that CF

 

~428lbs to be exact. Only a fraction of which will make it into this mod.

 

same here cant wait to see what you do with that carbon fibre you can give some to me if you want so i can put some bits on my case

 

Had to de-lurk to say phenomenal work and congrats on the MOTM nomination!
