Well, here is my water cooled, and fully internal Shuttle (right now), I have built it up over the last couple of weeks, adding this and that as I went. I can hear you guys screaming for temps, right? Well, I have ran the machine in several different configurations, with a push pull 80-120mm fans, 2x 80mm’s and now I am waiting on the delivery of 2 new high flow panaflows, temps AND sound levels have been all over the place. Right now I just have a single 80 mm panaflow on the rad, blowing air out. It is a medium volume and very quite, I use speed fan to keep it pretty quite idle temps are 44 and 49 for load. My XT stays at 60- and rises to 63 with the overdrive applied/under load. I have had it as low as 32 (cold morning/Air Condtioner) and as high as 50….UT04 and Farcry for an all nighter. I call it the widow maker ‘since my wife is pissed I spend so much time fiddling with the computer….She digs the water cooling however, anad the purple LED’s….I expect my temps to plummet when I add the dual panaflows (one external) on Monday. -MKH
Edit 12 Jul 04 - Moved back to Project Logs All your pics are too large, please re-size them to max 800 pix wide (400-600 wide even better ). I'll move this thread to modding in accordance with our forum rules until you can re-size the images. PM or email an admin or mod when you have and we'll move it back to project logs. Also, any chance of some more description of each pic?
OK fixed the pix, I also added a 70mm fan I had laying around till monday...temps droped to 40 flat @ idle. -MKH
I love mods on SFF comps and this is no objection . It all looks a really tight fit, but as long as it does the business, then it's great. I dig the green, but I didn't catch any purple LEDs like you mentioned. Also, you could reduce the temps by mounting the rad externally. Oh, the front panel looks great, very much like then Shuttle Zen. Good work .
