Scratch Build – In Progress CypriUm - The Ultimate Water Loop Case

That's what i call thinking outside of the box.....excuse the pun.

 

Ditto. Nice idea for a case, but surely there's not enough surface area to cool well?

 

I thought so too, but let´s wait for pics.

 

Your going to add fins right?

 

Very nice case, what would really finish off the radiator would be creating a grill made of thin solid core copper. Brase this onto the large coper pipes for transferring heat. You could even use copper wire with a core around 2-3mm.

If they were placed vertically with a gap for airflow between them they should make for a very good rad.

At least thats what I'd do anyway

 

nice idea.

is something going to go in that bottom corner?

 

Forgive me for my potential ignorance....

...but isn't this set up a little inefficient as the area marked red below means the water would mostly be pumped round in a circle next to the pump itself?



I might be missing something but that's what it appears to be doing in the diagram. I would suggest some kind of stopper to force the flow to go right round the whole case to increase cooling efficiency.

Hopefully masbuskado will post some temps eventually.

 

How about the temperatures you wanted to post?

Does this provide enough cooling of the water, without any "real" radiator in that loop?

 

Very unique, excellent work

Am interested in how the water flow will work as I can't see how it would efficiently from that diagram as its not really a circuit unless im missing something, maybe as theres pipes both sides of the case etc....

 

Ah, I knew I must've been missing something! Well spotted ConKbot. However on looking closer at the pictures, the intake and outake ports are still rather close and the flow will mostly go round that area near the pump. I would definately use some stoppers to force the flow right round the case. Maybe the reason we haven't seen temperatures yet is because masbuskado is still ironing out those issues...


Just realised I didn't say in my last post that I thought the whole mod was fantastic nonetheless. Might take up a similar project in future myself, and I'll be giving props to the CypriUm for inspiration.

 

OMG! It's a F**king MONSTER!!!

love the copper frame

How do you get to your video card connections. In the picture it looks like the fans are touching the video card.

 

DVI extension cable!

 

that idea is just amazing

 

Indeed!
stay tuned for more!
