Vapouriser, My Very First Watercooled PC........

[Syd]

Package unwrapped



Whats in the box?





The single most expensive piece of computer componentry (displays don't count!!) I have ever bought.............



And it's big



Now to take it to bits:



Now what can this be





Looking good, and at last a black block to match the rest of the build!!



Stripped and ready to go!



On goes the back:



and then the front............



And now it's in, albeit after a bit of replumbing (unfortunastley the link to the classified block was to short, as was the link to the rad) - but after putting it all back - refilling - finding a leak - draining and fixing and refilling I am now back in action. Good times!!



Maximum detail in BF2BC is averaging circa 60FPS On my NEC 3090 @ native res. I'm a happy boy.

Once I have a bit of time (when I have tired of getting killed in BF2BC) I'll get some finished pix/temps up

Looking good Syd, looking very good

My god this is a sick setup. Over three figures you say, care to be any more specific? I haven't done watercooling since a Q6600 was considered the bee's knees

Don't forget to overclock the puppy .

EDIT: Syd, did that waterblock come with the backing plate or did you order it separately? I have the same block but got one of the first batches, before the backing plates were ready or released. Had to reuse the original plate - bleah.

Thanks for the comments
I'd rather not think about the budget, but the previous 'over three figures' was clearly before the 5970 and some time ago!!

Backing 'bling' plate came separatley, I had to order it from Germany in the end as no-one in the UK had any stock

Nice rig, looks like a lot of hard work. Well done.

DAMN!!! Quite an impressive build!!

Sick Sick Sick Set-up!!

Was going to get into it, but this would be a rather expensive hobby. lol

Ooooh, that 5970 looks so goood.

Good luck with the rest of the build, everything is looking really great so far!
