Hey waterygrave, I was going to give you a rate for those nice pictures, purple and green looks superb and a good challenge you've set yourself!

However, in my clumsiness, I've clicked on a negative rate! Doh. So, I'll add it back to give you what it supposed to be in a few hours. Embarassed

Nice pictures there.
They look really good. How long have you been working on that beast?

I'm sure I posted before.... Nevermind.

Hi to all,javascript:emoticon('

Very Happy

Thanks for the rate stez

.

I been rebuilding shiny for about 2 weeks, whenever i getthe chance that is. The hardest part has been fitting everything inside a Antec P182 and keeping it tidy at the same time.
I've fitted 2x 240 rads, 1x 120, 2x D TEK pumps, 2x res and cooled cpu,gpu,N/b,S/b and mofsets. So its been a bit of a squeeze.

One thing that is still winding me up is I am having loads of trouble trying to get an Aqua block for the N/b. The board is P5E with the X38 chip and heatspreader, The one i intended to use had a small footprint so its doing the S/b. Got an older Danger Den on the N/b at the moment but it doesn't match.

Will be finished over weekend so I'll post asap and maybe you guys can have a look and point out anything i might have missed.

Thanks again guys Very Happy

Hi, this is my first post on vadim computers, so hello to u all Bravo!

I have a little experience in water cooling (currently just completing my second build).

Allthough compaired to many, I would appear a complete beginner!!!

When I was reading through this thread I noticed one part relating to the T balecer and how many fans you can utilise. As my current project has 3 1/2" loops 2 quad rads +1 thermochill 120.2 rad and some 17+ fans, (controlled buy the big ng and a fan amp)!!! I thaught I may be of some help to you.

I havn't tested the full setup yet, but during my reserch phase I did some testing to find out just how good the big nG really was, and I have to say I was VERY impressed.

The big nG has four fan channels with a combined power rating of 20whats analog or 40whats PMW (pmw powers the fans with rapid burst's of power, hence the doubleing off the recomended max load).

however I managed to attach 2 Banks of fans each bank containing 4 sharcloon silent eagle 2000rpm 120ml fans + another 2 revoltek l.e.d 120ml fans(thats 10 x 120ml fans), all powered under analog, and the big nG didn't even brake a sweat!!! (I monitored the temps with one of the digital sensors from the nG)

After cheecking out the m cubed forums I found out that the fan limit is determined by how hot the heat sink on the nG's processor gets.

The only downside to using fan banks is that all fans in the bank will run at the same speed and you can only use 1 rpm signal monitor per bank.

Hope this is helpfull and good luck with your plan!!!
