    Another update! this time a little bit important than others :D
    Let's see the beginning of the building:


    4x120 Radiator in the TJ07

    First of all the box that covers the ON/Reset button. As known by the people that have tj07's the reset button is not easily to touch, so I decided to put another Reset button that will be shown in another update;)

    Let's see the continuation of the building:



    3x120 rad complete

    Completed the rad, waiting to be mounted at the top of the case.
    It have a inline probe for the aquaero.

    THANKS!!!!




    Now a little update with only 2 pics, but bouth I think are imoportant!


    1st: Black Plexy top for the Asus 8800GTS physics to cover the green PCB.

    [​IMG]


    2nd: Plexy mid plate to cover all the holes that have TJ07's plate. It have a 12cm blue UV plexy mesh and an black aluminium one.

    [​IMG]





    Better pics of the plexy mid plate in the next update!

    Best regards!

    Looking awesome, but isn't the gpu waterblock plumbed in wrong. Surely the water is just going to go straight past the card and straight out the other side.

    I thought it had to be more like this.

    thanks for the coment!

    The pic that you've linked its in SERIES, and I wanna try to mount in paralel like this:

    (PIC from MALIK)

    [​IMG]



    The flow will be halved to each GPU, a little worst temps in the gpu but more flow to the rest of the loop.

    Lets try it:D:D

    [​IMG]



    Then with the black acrylic and others:

    After that, mid plate in the case:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]




    And finally this 2 pics of 2 probes that will measure the temp at the top and at the bottom of the case to control the ambient temperature inside the case. Bouth controlled by the aquaero and adjustin the fan speed of the 3x120 and 4x120 radiator.

    Best regards! Keep posting and put your opinion pleasee!

    Ah right, that's fair enough. That does look very cool. Would be interesting to see if the benefits for the rest of the loop outweigh the cons to the graphics cards.

    Looks good so far. I'm interrested in seeing the top 360 radiator mounted.

    Looking really good so far, I really like your work on the lower compartment.

    As for the thermal probes I would recommend against using electrical tape to anchor them. Due to it's insulating properties it will probably give you bad data. What I have found (from personal experience with the probes in my NZXT LEXA) if you are wanting to measure ambient temps it is best to not anchor the probes at all, let them float. If you anchor them you tend to get the reading from whatever you have anchored them to instead of the air around it and because you are using a quite a large case made entirely of aluminum the transferred temps to the case would be lower than the ambient air temp.
