Pictures of TheBeast
 (United States)

Here's some eye candy.   I still need to play around with cable routing and such, but here's what I got so far .

Nice plumbing!

It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues

Very nice, indeed! Are the radiator fans blowing up and out of the case? I do like that 250mm side case fan, too!

Nice!

Is that Gatorade coolant?

No, the radiator fans are drawing cool air from the outside.  Though with all the fans, the case temps are reasonable, it's still warmer than room temp and I wanted to draw the coolest air possible over the radiator.

That side fan did make it a pain to get all that water cooling stuff in the case and still be able to close it though.  That's why I went with brass elbows instead of trying to route the tubing without them.

Oh well... it doesn't look like the boxes I use to build.
The CPU, well, I can't see it but assume it is in the middle where I see two of the green water cooling tubes go to.

How ever I can¨t recall any CPUs that uses this upright
standard since some was it P2s or P3's.
But then again that doesn't say that much, I haven't seen it all.

Also I can't see any RAM set ???

It looks noisy despite the water cooling, inside chassis fans, intake  blow fans  ?

I prefer to keep it as quiet as possible with as few fans as possible,

I see you have the PSU with the big 12cm fan, with that you shouldn't need to have any additional inside fans at all, as it serves as a internal fan also in the same time.

Also, I don't know what brand of PC you are building, obviously not a Conroe anyway, they wouldn't need that much extra cooling.

But it is pretty  never the less

I like how you setup the radiator. Nice Job

Crystallize, That is a kentsfield he has in there

Not exactly.  There are two water blocks where you describe, one for the processor, one for the northbridge chipset.  The top green tube enters the cpu waterblock, the bottom green tube exits the northbridge block, and the thing in the middle exits the cpu block and enters the northbridge block.

 

Also I can't see any RAM set ???

The ram is shot almost directly from the top.  It's in the slots directly to the right of th cpu and northbridge.

I prefer to keep it as quiet as possible with as few fans as possible,

It's virtually silent unless I turn up the fans on the radiator.  The rear and front chassis fans are around 17db, you can't even hear the big side fan or the Power supply fan.

However, the graphics card, ram, and certain motherboard components can get quite hot, so trying to rely only on the power supply fan for air flow will likely get you a some fried components.

I see you have the PSU with the big 12cm fan, with that you shouldn't need to have any additional inside fans at all, as it serves as a internal fan also in the same time.

 


Also, I don't know what brand of PC you are building, obviously not a Conroe anyway, they wouldn't need that much extra cooling.

It's an overclocked Core 2 Quad Q6600.  Stock speed is 2.4ghz, but this runs as high as 3.7ghz (and probably higher) depending on now hard I want to push it.  Currently, it's running at around 3.55ghz and temps are in the 40-45c range using coretemps.

 

But it is pretty  never the less

Thanks!

Well, not exactly, or rather it depends, of course it helps if you OC as much as you do,
personally I never OC, just by principle ...
If you run a normal Conroe on stock CPU spead only on the big 12 cm PSU and  CPU fan you get these temperatures.
The Temp2 here is the CPU temp which is quite good considering no additional cooling...




...hm, maybe I should consider over clocking it a bit, it seems like it could take it ...
