Scratch Build – In Progress [Project] Urban Camouflage [Updated 28/5 =)]

Well im hoping to make a custom made graphic card water block so i hope to be able to make some pics as well

 

One does not simply make a custom waterblock without sharing a hundred pics of it

 

Will do

 

Would like to present you guys with my new sponsor.



Noctua has decided to join and sponsor my build. Thank you very much Noctua and in special Jakob.

Will now let you with some pics of the hardware they sent me

























Hope you guys like it, and thank you Noctua once more =)

 

Here goes a small update, an opening for the fan controller

Before:



During:







After:







On the case itself:

 

Well i guess you guys are not liking it very much since there are no reply's

 

well I think its coming along very nicely and looks fantastic, subbed a while ago and cant wait to see the finished waterblock for the GPU

Keep on modding

Thank you for your support Dan =)

 

Small update for today with the accessory i made to fill the cooling system without any problem.

Used a bit of aluminum to make a small square to fasten the accessories that will take to the reservoir:



Hole already drilled in the case :











Seen from the inside of the case:







Hope you like it, Best Regards.

 

I hope that you don't plan to mix copper and aluminium. That will ruin your watercooling components.

 

Been using a water block for my rams with a copper base and aluminium top and didnt have any problem yet :x

can you give some more details in how it will ruin the components? it it because of the watercooling liquid ? it will react bad with copper and aluminium mixed?

Thanks

 

Yes that wouldn't work to well.. What about plating the aluminium?

 

Great work dude, the placement of that fill port is spot on!

 

Then i have another problem here because the radiators i was going to use are made of aluminium. Wanted to take the some weight of the case off there, now i see that will also be a problem

 

If you mix Brass/copper with aluminium, this will happend: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_corrosion

Brass+copper=ok
Brass+aluminium=corrosion
Copper+aluminum=corrosion

 

Thank you very much for your help guys, will have to rethink some of the accessories i was going to use on the project.

And you guys rock

 

Cool fillport dude!
What about anodize the fillport and radiators then?
That should prevent corrosion, and you can choose some cool colours

 

That is a very good idea since i have a factory that does that right next to me.. will take a look there if they can do it to the radiator interior as well..

So after this "bad news" i decided to stop for a minute to think about he build parts and started looking to the sleeving..

not sure yet if i will be using brained sleeving or paracord sleeving but i stated doing some test with the heat shrink. Would like to have you guys opinion once more

Black or transparent

 

My vote goes to black.

Great project

 

Have you tried doing it shrinkless? I know a few people have done some guides on YouTube and it looks really good.

But if you want to use heatshrink then I would vote black
