    After my last Project (Neptune V2) I started a new project, some parts are recycled but I think it’s not an update from the V2. So, V3 it’s a NEW project!

    Concept:

    Nowadays most Silverstone TJ07 are Murdermod’s, and so I like to go out from the routine and try an innovative new project. Going with an out reservoir, liquid cooling tubes will be more showy that the sleeved cables, not only a simply front, etc.

    Motherboard: Asus Striker II Extreme
    RAM: Corsair Dominator DDR3-1600
    MAIN GPU: Zotac Geforce GTX275

    Watercooling:

    1rst LOOP:

    CPU block: EK-Supreme LT Plexi-Cooper
    PUMP: Laing DDC + EK TOP (black acetal)
    RAD: Magicool 360 blue UV
    RESERVOIR: XSPC 5 ¼ (bay res)
    TUBE: Feser blue UV (19 out - 12,7 in)mm (3/4 out - ½ in) inches
    FITTINGS: Feser&Phobya Compression Fittings


    2nd LOOP:
    MAIN GPU block: EK-FC275 GTX Plexi-Cooper
    PHYSICS GPU block: EK-FC8800GTS Plexi-Cooper
    HDD block: DangerDen 2x HDD Acetal
    RAD: COOLSTREAM XT 480 (4x120)
    PUMP: Swiftech MCP 655 + EK TOP (black acetal)
    RES: Custom “Ketchak”
    TUBE: Feser blue UV (19 out - 12,7 in)mm (3/4 out - ½ in) inches
    FITTINGS: Feser&Phobya Compression Fittings




    Case and Accesories:
    Case:

    CASE: Silverstone TJ07 Black Window (ATX position)

    Fans:

    1st LOOP RAD: 3x Ac.Ryan 12cm Blue UV
    2nd LOOP RAD: 4x Ac.Ryan 12cm BLUE UV (FRONT) / 2x Scythe ULTRAKAZE 3000rpm
    REAR CASE: 2x Ac.Ryan 9cm Blue UV

    LCD’s / Controllers:

    MAIN LCD: Alphacool 240x128 Blue-Black USB

    4x120 Radiator with support:

    This 4x120 Radiator will be placed at bottom of the Tj07 longitudinally at left. It will have:
    • 4 Ac.Ryan Blue UV fans at the exterior face.
    • 2 Scythe UltraKaze at interior face.

    Interior side will have armaflex to prevent vibrations, and will put armaflex to the custom support too.


    Let’s talk with some pictures:

    MAIN GPU: Zotac GTX275 & EK-FC275:

    This Zotac GTX275 will be cooled by EK-FC275 Plexi-Cooper. It already have a black PCB, so I won’t put acrylic cover to this VGA.


    Let’s talk with some pictures:

    I would try using a tripod or stack of clothes to stop the blurri-ness, and check after you take each picture to see if it is in focus (you can zoom in if you need to, but your camera may not). What camera are you using?

    I'm using Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3.

    Tomorrow will have a good tripod;) I'll show you.

    The camera is:

    Do you know how I have to do to take better pics with it?

    Make sure that the "Image Stabilization" or "IS" (or maybe OS) is turned on. There may be a special mode on the scene dial.

    Well, I have a FZ28 but there should be similar settings possible:

    The problem seems to be, that there is not enough light in your environment, so the camera chooses a high shutter time. If possible with your model select a shutter-priority-mode and set the shutter time below 1/15sec, better 1/30sec. If the ancient light is enough, the aperture will adapt to a low value (2.8 or such). Light will always help, so if psossible put one, two or three spots in the room an point them to the walls or the ceiling. Not directly on the object you are trying to photograf. Asure the flashlight is switched off permanently.

    Hope that helps you a little bit.

    First of all, I’ve purchased a tripod and changed my camera, let’s see which ones:

    The camera: Canon Powershot S45

    [​IMG]

    The tripod: Vivitar V-2400

    [​IMG]


    And now let’s test how the new camera&tripod works with some pics of some new components:



    EK D5-TOP V2:

    Time to show every detail of new V2 version of EK D5-TOP. This one is black acetal, but can be white acetal too.

    As you can see one of the screws that press the thin part to the main part are a little bit different, don’t know why…



    One of the raptors:

    The sleeving:

    The sleeving color that I’ve choose for this project is CARBON BLACK, It’s different from the common black.

    The tube:

    The tube is a Feser Blue UV 12,7/19 mm

    *OT on*
    The tripod of course was a wise idea! :D So u can use even high shutter times with a higher aperture and without putting much extra light into the scene. Next, you could throw an eye for, is the whitebalance, if you wish them to become perfect ones.

    Hi another time, have been past a lot of time with no updates, so, here is:

    The pics I think that are a little bit better than the old ones, let’s see if all its ok…


    Black Sleeving & Others:

    Well, amazing job of Nils:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]


    Black&Blue 4x120 Radiator fans:

    The fans are this: Coolermaster SickleFlow 120 2000 RPM Blue LED

    And some real pics:

    [​IMG]


    With light:

    [​IMG]


    Without light:

    [​IMG]



    Now with the radiator: (as you can see the bolts are ugly, I will change it for the shorter black ones purchased at Nils.) :D

    [[​IMG]

    [​IMG]


    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]


    All fans are fitted to an only one 3-pin, and reporting the RPM only for the first one.



    Black 3x120 Upper Radiator fans:

    This is only a pic that show the fans, in the following updates will see why the SLIM ones, and were will be putted with the 3x120 radiator.

    [​IMG]




    Tube&Coolant:


    The tube has been shown before, but the coolant will be Feser One Blue.

    Just a word of caution:
    http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=226632&page=15

    I personally wouldn't use any Feser stuff in my loop after seeing quite a bit of people having problems with this stuff. Get some PT nuke/KillCoils + dye + Distilled water.
