In the span of 2-1/2 weeks I convert a massive gaming rig from air to water and throw in some high tech wiring to control it all. All air intake is filtered. It's a completely stealthed Liquid Cooling System with no lights no windows no noise. A tremendous 5 x 140mm + 120mm of radiator cool a hot blooded Xeon W3550 and a pair of ATI Radeon HD5970s. A Pair of top grade pumps handle the series loop in style. Every moving part is isolated with silicon grommets. Noiseblocker fans...the quietest most powerful 140mm fan I have handled. Every piece of hardware including the Plextor Drive was powdercoated Raven Black. Air intake from below satisfies the top mounted HW Labs GTX 420 and the front mounted GTX 280 provides needed airflow through the case. The GTX 120 fitted with a single UltraKaze proved capable of cooiling the processor by itself during a series of torture tests. The EK Supreme HF works perfectly and is an engineering marvel. The Indigo TIM proved to be remarkable in every way imaginable...and some that weren't. The EK Dual DDC V2 proved troublesome. Delrin fibers left along the cutting paths during milling were acting as wicks under the O-rings and it took two successive leak diagnostics to pinpoint the issues. Once repaired it performed flawlessly. The EK FC5970 Nickel Plated Copper and Delrin full coverage water blocks with anodized aluminum RAM sink plate fit the GFX cards perfectly and performed as expected with near ambient temperatures. This is part one so be ...
