Scratch Build – In Progress Epic's Thermal Tower - Need suggestions for the loop route, help me! 20.05.2012

Things are looking up & up, congrats.

stars & rep

 

Wow, super work there. Are those panels aluminium or acrylic?

 

Thanks Waynio This isn't finished yet, I still have the original Thermal Tower to work on!

Polished acrylic, sand polishing single direction.

 

Thanks once again to Asus

 

hi Dan cant wait to get mine

can we put a little badge saying "thermal tower build #1 of 9999) or how ever many u plan on in the build run (are thay going to be a limited run ????)

u and asus have the prototypes so plz plz

im liking things about the first black one like the window iv been thinking on that a lot

 

Yeah for sure, Just let me know what you want

 

I only like the black version, the white Rog edition is not that good, the elements of it just dont conect and that big asus symbol and above the acrylic window dont combine... i like your other cases, but this white one could be improved...;D

 

Each to their own I have a few more Thermal Towers on the way and yes, the one I am doing for myself is themed black and blue.


Supanova yesterday and also had the Roar Grand Final! Watch the vid to see the Thermal Tower at the event and more!

 

i like it with the big window aswell the black

 

Just did an overclocking guide and review on the Maximus V in the ROG Thermal Tower.

This build has been progressing but I just moved to Sydney to take up a job as a youtube presenter for Asus ROG Australia (not a bad job right!). At the moment, I'm not entirely sure what the best way to do the loop would be. Feel free to save the photo and reupload it with red lines where you believe the tubing should go.

Waiting for the internet to be connected before I start doing some heavy photo uploading




Oh and here's me on the Asus ROG Australia channel. Just launched it so sub and comment if you have time!

 

That's awesome, congrats Dan you definitely make a good presenter for the job mate.

 

Thanks Waynio



Any suggestions on the loop? This is what I have so far but I am open to suggestions.

 

As I'm currently planning sth similar myself, I decided to go dual loop. Less cluttered and if you decide to use one of the EK links for graphic cards, you can route the piping anyway you like.

 

I would have but the outlay of another pump/res was far past unwanted. Single loop with the surface area of 6 radiators should be fine.

 

Just need to place the pump somewhere.
The order of the loop: Res, Pump, Rad, Mosfet, Ram, CPU, Ram, Rad, GPU, GPU, Res

If u turn the Radiator in the bottom it will make the loop a little shorter.

 

Could be crazy and put in two loops? One for the Mosfet, Ram and CPU, another just for the GPUs? It would mean twice the complexity, but Overkill is Underrated, right?

 

A single loop might work as I look at the above picture

Pump>CPU >RAM(left)>MOSFET > RAM(right)Rad (bottom) > GPU>GPU > Rad (top)> reservoir

I'll try and upload a picture when I'm not at work

 

It actually turned out a lot like that although I have yet to test whether or not the pump head will be adequate.


Meanwhile, I had a look at a card that is pretty hard to get a hold of right now.
