Building new gaming system - AMD 2800 Barton - Watercooled |
Got the "waterbox"/tank from Elfa | ||
The goldish nut's came from a plumbershop | ||
Started drilling small holes and the made the larger with a sandstone "drill" to make the holes prefect. | ||
The white stuff on the "screw" is a tape that plumber use to tighten the threads. Also put on a rubber gasket. |
||
To be extra safe, I put on some silicon. | ||
Outside | ||
Put on silicon here to. | ||
Sprayed the inside and the lid with this plasticspray to prevent corotion of the box material. | ||
Befor sealing the box, I put on alot of silicon on the edges. | ||
And outside aswell. | ||
Here is a hole going to be for the pump 220V cable. | ||
Drill | ||
Rubber gasket to prevent the cable to breake on the sharp edges. | ||
Dont forget to vacume the inside of the case befor puting in the MB and shit. | ||
MB: Asus A7N8X Deluxe |
||
Came with the MB. | ||
Heatsinks on the nVidia chipset | ||
It has to go, because I already got the waterblock for it... | ||
Graphics card: ATI Radeon 9700 PRO, 128MB DDR. |
||
Heatsinks with fan, have to go... | ||
It was alittle bit shaky to remove this heatsinks, because even tought I had removed the plastic clips that hold it in place, the heatsinks was stuck to the CPU hard, and I dident know how much force I could put on it or if there was something else holding it together. | ||
But it was the cooling paste that hold it so tight. | ||
Graphics card. | ||
CPU: AMD Barton 2800+ runs at 2.083GHz |
||
The hose I got was alittle to large so I had to use some tools to screw on the nipples that hold them in place. Thats why I conected everything first and then put them in place. | ||
The waterblockes I got was: CPU block: INNOVACOOL V3 WATERCOOLER Chipset & Graphics card: INNOVAGRAPH-O-MATIC VGA/NB |
||
Removed the backplate of the Chieftec case and let the powersupply rest on the bottom plate inside the case. Then the radiator fits perfectly ontop, and I dont need to make some new holes in the case side. Radiator: INNOVARADI SINGLE 120 Fan: PAPST FAN 120CM 26dB |
||
Put in staffthread to make a shelf for the watertank. | ||
Pump: EHEIM 1048 |
||
The hoses goes like this: -> Radiator Tank Pump CPU MB Chipset Graphics card Radiator -> |
||
Started filling the system with distilled water, but I ran out of it so I took normal tap water, and I also put in alittle of this antialgefluid. | ||
To be extra safe I put silicon on the pump aswell. | ||
More than I need of every thing. | ||
Found the floppy from an old computer. Do people still use thos things? | ||
Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda V, 80 GB. More than I need for a computer that only going to have Battlefield 1942 on it... Also put a silent 80mm fan infront of the HD. Fan: PAPST 80mm 1500rpm 12dB. |
||
To get the most out of the memory and the dual channels, I got 2x256MB PC 3200 memorys. | ||
To prevent that the hot air that comes out of the powersupply going back in through the radiator. Im leading the hot air away from the computers. | ||
This looks much better then what I resonly got. | ||
What my old system did look like. |
