    Agreed, Ivealways loved following TEC builds. Especially watercooled TEC's
    In assuming your TEC loop is in the order of Radiator > Tec > Waterblock ?

      Part 2/3
      TEC#2
      May 2019


      Just before the installation of the second TEC, a great modification was done on the first one and the 360mm rad; the 240mm rad is now gone and the fans are now EKWB Vardar RGB.

      The second TEC assembly (Barrow CPU block, 10A TEC, 120mm air rad and Vardar RGB fan) is mounted on the vertical PCI/GPU bracket and the tubes that go down are perfectly aligned.

        Part 3/3
        TEC
        May 2019




        TECs are not the most efficient way to cool down the liquid but they work. The overall liquid temperature is around 1-1.5°C less per module when the PC is on load and it is at the room temp when PC is idle. I am waiting for more parts to do another derivation (with valve) to add the possibility to redirect the TEC cold flow more directly to the blocks (See June update for triple loop concept explanation).

        So, those TEC look pretty good:

        One of the main part of this watercooling system is the multiway flow distributor. This is an assembly of many Barrow multiway fitting together. It have four major purpose​​​:

        - It gives a solid base support for everything attached on it. My kids can try to brake it anytime, I am not worried, it is solid as rock.
        - It gives the possibility to physically assemble many separate loop together without mix them (liquid). I mean, I filled with glue the male end of some multiway to isolate one from others (see next picture).
        - It gives many future possibilities for derivations.
        - It makes it easier to align tubes and the aesthetic result is really good.

          Thats an interesting an expensive web of fittings! Like a distro block without the block heh. Lots of leakage points to double check! Would definitely be a huge pain to have to replace one leaking fitting In that assembly. But that's for sure a unique approach to flow distribution!! Keep up the innovation!

            Is it just me, or are a bunch of those pics in your last post not loading. I only see the last 2 images ;(

            They do look rather complex though. Lots and lots of fittings.

              BOTM
              June 2019

              This Build of the month (June contest) version was presented in this forum.

              I won 100$ EKWB credit on Dazmode (thank you).

              Here is the build V6 spec:

              - HDD... A lot but external (behind the wall)
              - Power supply Thermaltake 1200W
              Watercooling triple loop concept

              Loop 1:
              - CPU waterblock AquaComputer Cuplex Kryos Next
              - GPU waterblock EKWB EKFC nickel & black acetal
              - Rad 360mm Barrow with 6 fan Vardar
              - Pump D5 + clear top + 210mm tank Barrow
              - One way valve Alphacool
              - 5 chrome tubes 14mm OD L shape Bykski
              - 2 chrome tubes 14mm OD L shape Barrow
              - 2 in line filter
              - Flow indicator
              - A lot of fittings/valves/90°/multiway/and+

              Loop 2 (the one with 2 Thermo Electric Cooler):
              - 1st TEC
              - 12710 (10A 154W max)
              - Cooler Master with Vardar fan (hot side)
              - CPU block XSPC Raystorm (cold side)
              - 2nd TEC
              - 12710
              - Air cooler with Vardar fan (hot side)
              - CPU block Barrow RGB (cold side)
              - Rad 420mm Koolance
              - Rad 420mm Bykski with 3 140mm Noctua fan
              - 2 pump D5 PWM swiftech MCP655
              - Top Dual D5 DSTOPX2 BitsPower
              - 280mm Tank Barrow
              - 4 chrome tubes 14mm OD L shape Bykski
              - 1 chrome tubes 14mm OD L shape Barrow
              - Temp sensor Thermaltake
              - Flow indicator RGB barrow
              - 1 in line filter
              - Lot of fittings/valve/multiway/and more

              Loop 3 (the one who connect the others):
              - D5 PWM pump + black tp + 210mm tank Barrow
              - 3 chrome tubes 14mm OD L shape Bykski
              - Flow indicator RGB Barrow
              - A lot of fittings again

              Details on the triple loop concept:

              In the first loop, the CPU and GPU bloc (parallel) are fuelled by the pump/tank before going thru the 360mm rad and coming back in the tank via the oc'cool one way valve. Up and down this valve are two multiways that let the third loop flow the chilled liquid from the second loop to the first. The second loop is the one who has two ~150W TEC (Thermo Electric Cooler) in serie with two rad 420mm, two D5 pumps and a big tank. I made the second loop this way (TEC - Tank - Rad - TEC...)to ensure it will never have any condensation because the liquid temperture can't go under the room temp.

              Here are some pictures :

                I love all the fittings and tubing here. It reminds me of a oil refinery or something. The Chrome tubing also looks REALLY good.
                Its a fantastic build you have.

                  240mm Rad
                  July 2019


                  After I won BOTM June (100$ EKWB credit on DazMode store) I ordered two more Vardar EVO RGB, two 4 way splitter and a 1 liter filling bottle.

                  I had the good idea to use my new Vardars on my XSPC 240mm I previously removed. I fixed the rad close to the 280mm reservoir.

                      Flow meters
                      September 2019


                      I did another cool mod in this section of the build with my two Barrow flow meters; symetrictly dispositioned each side of the BitsPower DualTop.

                      The next picture show the left flow meter who are liked between the Bykski 420mm rad and the Input of the dual top (280mm res > Bykski 420mm rad > Barrow flow meter > dual top D5 > Thermaltake LCD temp sensor > Koolance 420mm rad > TEC 1 > TEC 2 > NoName flow meter (semi visible in the previous picture) > 280mm res (loop 2 without bypass valves)).

                      The next pictures show the right Barrow flow meter who is right after Pump #2 (loop 3).

                        Decorative elements
                        October 2019


                        I've added many decorative elements to this monstrous build for aesthetic purpose only.

                        The first one is the Titan Xp Star Wars Galactic Empire GPU cooler. I placed it in his original acrylic box with a red LED stripe (lid by the 12v from the PC PSU) inside.

                        To continue in the Empire theme, I have a Dart Vader light saber Metal hilt Lucas Film replica. As you can see, I also have two GPU original box (each side of the cooler), the second one is a gift from a friend to ensure the symmetry.
                        Click image for larger version  Name:	VaderLightSaber.jpg Views:	15 Size:	47.4 KB ID:	88592
                        I also use the empty space in front of the GPU (and the vertical GPU bracket) to show some of my Canadian Army coins.

                        First line: four RCEME (Royal Canadian Electrical Mechanical Engineering) coins. The RCEME branch have four trade; mechanic tech, material tech, weapons tech and electronic and optronic tech (my trade).

                        Second line (from left to right): Valcartier camp coin, Canadian forces coin, Canadian army (land) coin, Soldier coin and EO Tech (Electronic and Optronic technician) coin.

                        Another decorative part; the RCEME cap badge on the top bracket of the Koolance rad.

                                Watercooling diagram


                                In the first part of the CAMC build final version, I drew a simplified watercooling system diagram which, I hope, will make it easier to understand.

                                Here's the legend:

                                The last picture show the "default" water flow of the system. But there is a lot of possibilities with all those valves. Many of them are useful for "flush and fill" purpose or when a part of the system is under maintenance and need to be serviceable. The next picture is the flow configuration I used to keep the PC working while I was working on the XSPC 240mm rad and the flow meters (Version 7).


                                There's the most aggressive way to use the cold flow from the TECs (loop 2). The valve 1 allow it to go directly in the blocks (mostly GPU bloc because the multiway is closer to it), the valve 7 must be closed to work good and, of course, pumps 1 & 2 must be under 50% speed to ensure there is no conflict with the flow from the loop 2.
