STH's Watercooled NanoBench Log

[Hero1]

So my fellow Scarberian, I grew up there, where are the fans? Why didn't you just paint them instead of dyeing them since dyeing is usually more hit and miss according to many threads that I have read.

[SeeThruHead]

Fans are repainted and everything is assembled. I've decided not to take any more shitty pictures so I'll have to wait until I have things setup for pictures before I can take a good shot of the radiator.

Looks like a great ram shot to me

Bring on some more

Big thanks to Gdesmo!! This thing is so beautiful.

Welcome to Uber power club!

Quick question for you guys, what should I use for corrosion blocking on my fluid. I'm going to be running distilled with mayhems dye, I have PT nuke I can use but no anti corrosive.

[Hooded]

DarkSide DazMode Protector should be just fine.

High Five for more Gdesmo power!

Mayhems Dye and DazProtect aren't a very good combination IMO.
the glycol will pretty much kill the dye, leaving you with something murky and blah.

ATTENTION: This dye is not compatible with Glycol based additives, such as DazMode Protector. Alcohol will bleach organic pigment.

but you can add a biocide like Silver Kill Coil.

Being the proud owner of one of gdesmo's Power Cables, I can attest to the beauty and skill that goes into each and every one. A real uber addition to any build!!

Thanx Gears, tell you the truth they are not hard to make. Hardest part is finding the pieces and waiting, there is no one store to find everything. Except directly with Oyaide in Japan, but if you saw the prices of ends and cables they supply for the audio crowd you would crap yourselves. Ends start at 90 bucks each and cables can run up to 20,000 dollars, yes 20,000. I have to use several sources that usually have most of what I need. I may give up any painting of ends for 2 reasons, I lack the patience and don't have the proper facility for it. Also any requests in the next 4-5 weeks will have to wait as I have to go in for a nasty hospital visit for a while in 3 weeks. Sorry STH for high-jacking your thread, you know what I am talking about at least.

I have so many questions about this pic.... where to begin?

1) nice tripod. I've got the model one down from that... should I upgrade?
2) quality kitchen towels? I use Bounty, yourself?
3) what's the clamp on the floor doing?
4) did you seriously fill the whole loop 60ml at a time?
5) what's the longest time you've run your Datavac before you felt uncomfortable?
6) where's the monitor?
7) Gdesmo Power?
8) where did you get the studio lamps, and what's the spec?

[SeeThruHead]

1) I have no idea. This was the cheapest walmart tripod I could find.
2) Bounty
3) Clamp on the floor is holding a PSU pushbutton switch to keep the PSU on.
4) Yes I filled it with the syringe. I will need to plan better for my next build update. Filling this loop while keeping the pump primed is a nightmare.
5) I only run it for short bursts. Was trying to get rid of the dust in the photos.
6) Monitor was in my computer room, that desk and lamp setup is not for my comp.
7) Nothing else is worthy.
8) From Amazon, Cowboy Studio 2000w

[gdesmo]

Awesome ! Blocks look great on the mobo, like that big diffused light.
