2012 Project Water cooled Hey there all. I'm Cory and like to post this link to my build Flickr: Splatgraphics' Photostream the descriptions in each photo contains the links of the products used I'm also creating a video log and will upload it to youtube when it's ready. About this build Total $1600 *not including shipping on stuff* Case: Haf X CPU: AMD 8150 Water block EK Full Copper MB : ASUS Crosshair V Formula Water block EK Crosshair GPU: 2X EVGA 480 Water block Danger Den Ram: Gskill G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB Rad: Phobya G-Changer 360 SSD:G.SKILL Phoenix Pro Series FM-25S2S-240 HD : Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB PS : CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX1200 This is my first water cooled build mod of ANY sort, I have planned this out and carefully selected every piece for the best results. it's taken a good 4 months for purchasing and 1 month for modding building. I started with a Haf X PC case and had it striped and nickle plated and heavily modded . The video water blocks are from Danger den and the MB and CPU blocks are from EK bought through Dazmode here in Toronto. The manifolds are built by me using a pex style manifold. http://www.pexsupply.com/Sioux-Chief...lets-5435000-p I went this route b/c I wanted each component to have cool water and not have it add heat every stage. The manifold is fed via 2 1/2" ins to equal pressure and flow concerns. They also have brass ball valves to help regulate flow if needed. Also and easy way to lock off part of the system IF components need to be replaced. After a couple of weeks under FULL load I can only get my water temps up to 49C and the Core temp of 55-60C If you have any questions about this please ask http://tpucdn.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif I look forward to modding the PC that this one is replacing http://www.flickr.com/photos/7955399...in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/7955399...57629918844157 |

^^ I would keep the 480. There wouldn;t be much of an improvement going to the 560Ti. If it wasn't for my 7970, I'd still be running a 480. :thumb: |
