Project: Shuttle Ice Cube - 22 September PROJECT COMMENTS HERE The Plan ----------------------- 1. To make my shuttle quiet. 2. Have overclocking potencial. 3. Just to look good. WC Parts used ----------------------- > Black Ice Micro rad. > Laing 12v DDC pump. > Custom made spiral CPU block. > Modded X-ice chipset block. > Danger Den blue fillport. > Generic 10mm clear tube. > Inovatek Screw fittings. Total cost: £120 / $230 Progress ---------------------- This pic shows my pump mouted on its holding bracket. I made the bracket out of some spare aluminum I had laying around As you can see in the pic below, I am gonna use some bolts to hold the bracket in place. It can also be removed when I need to take the motherboard out. Do you think it's gonna fit? This shows how close the pumps tubes are to the graphic card. Lastly, the back plate which will hold the radiator. Not decided if I wanna have either a 80/92/120mm fan for pulling the air through the rad?
Sorry for the late update, but I have had this on order for 4 weeks now and it has only arrived today. There was a problem with the manufacturer. I would just like to thank somesite for their excellent customer support and shipping it next day for me at no extra charge Okay, a few pics of the block installed in my X800 Pro AGP. ArkticFreezer AAF-X800AGP Details The block is only 16mm deep making it perfect for shuttles and other SFF computers alike. Installed in my Shuttle, there is 3~4mm clearance between the block and the side of the case. To make the block fit 100%, I will have to do a little filling to just shave 1~2mm off the case for the tubing to fit correctly. Thanks for looking
I just got the CNC'd pump mouting bracket this morning and have now installed the wc system. Before I go a head and fill the system, I just need to make minor adjustments before a final install, so don't expect it finished just yet..... Pics Final update should be sometime over the weekend when I will have a bit more time to fill the system
Well, I got busy last night and filled her up When I first powered the pump on, it was noisey as hell, but once alot of the air was removed, it became so quiet I could barely hear it. Air in the system loop is a big problem though as most of the air bubbles just get pumped around the loop constanly because there is not enough time for them to travel up the T junction. I really should have put a drain on the loop, which would have allowed me to remove most of the air in the first place When I get all the air out and have everything else that I want to do completed, I will post some temps and possible overclocks here for ya.
Final Update All the system is filled up now with most of the air bubbles taken out. Temps Don't think it's gonna take an overclock for a long period as the temp get to 43C under full load or after 2 an a bit hours of CS:S or UT2005. It's been a good build and I hope you have all enjoyed watching.
Yeah, really cool, I love the mount of the Rad/filport. They look like they should be there Good work!
