Here are some past water builds prior to joining DAZ forum. Unfortunetly, a lot of my pics were on a HDD that died. This is all I can salvage.
The Torture Chamber
- Coolermaster HAF 932 Case
- Thermochill PA140.3 Rad
- Thermochill TA120.2 RAD
- EK Multi-Option 250 Rez
- Swiftech D5-B Pump
- BitsPower D5 Top
- akasa 4CH Fan Controller
- Corsair AX1200
- Tygon Tubing 1/2" X 3/4"
- BitsPower Fittings
- Distilled Water and Silver Coil
***I mounted the rez externally to allow as much room inside the case as possible to allow for different system configurations, as this was built as a test bench.
- Asus P6X58D-E First victim and original build
- Intel i7-930
- 6GB Corsair Dominator GT DDR3-2133
- 2X EVGA GTX480 - BitsPower Black Ice GTX480 blocks
- OCZ Vertex-II SSD
Prior to paint. This was an early HAF 932 case. None were painted black inside at that time.
Asus Maximus Gene Z68 Yes, the 2600K clocks as advertised.
This was never a system. I simply bought the CPU, mobo, and memory, just to clock the shit out of the 2600K. Only to turn around and sell them. I wanted to see if the 2600K put out as said, and it did. Still at time of this posting, a very relevant gaming CPU.
- i7-2600K
- 8GB Corsair Dominator GT 2000
- EVGA GTX580
Asus P9X79 Deluxe
- i7-3930K
- 16GB Kingston HyperX
- 2X EVGA GTX580 Dual SLI
- Kingston HyperX 120GB SSD
I had two 3-slot multi-link SLI blocks, three GTX580 blocks and four GTX580 Backplates custom laser etched by Watercool. Two sets were for me and two were for a client build.
Asus Sabertooth 55i - Presently The top 140.3 rad was swapped end-for-end, and tubing run changed a bit for this config
- i5-760
- 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 / 16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 2400 (Yes, the same quad channel kit from my X79 system runs dual channel mode as well. 2370mhz so far)
- EVGA 3GB GTX580
- HyperX 120GB SSD
- Seasonic M12D 850W
Mmmm look at those nice clean Typhoons in the bottom. Could use a bit of cleaning. They have been thru hell. Lotsa ciggies 'n beer while poking and prodding the above systems. The Silverstones up top are brand new for the 55i.
A Rampage IV Extreme and Sabertooth X58 were inside for testing as well. Unfortunately, the drive the pics were on shit the bed.
All in all, I am very happy with the Torture Chamber. The HAF 932 is a sweet case to work with. Many options. The EK Supreme HF Full Copper is the heart of the cooling system, as it served many CPUs and performed. The loop configuration prior to the Sabertooth 55i performed stellar as a single loop. I held a few benchmark records with various systems in a couple forums in the past. All were accomplished with this case. Just got the 55i in there, so not much testing other than some RealBench runs.

is that white tubing or Dragon liquid?
