Project : Green HydraCooled

[Green-Hydra]

So basically I plan to do a project starting tomorrow, I currently have no Photographic Evidence of any progress so will post it here for now.

My Current Rig :
i5 2500K running at stock voltage/multiplyer on Stock Cooler
MSI Z68ma G45 (B3) which I plan to change soon
4GB Corsair Vengence LP
Inno3D GTX480 with Reference Cooler.
Gigabyte Perspex Chassis

I currently have the following W/C parts :
Corsair H50 + Rad
Corsair H60 + Rad
EK Full Waterblock for GTX480.

What I want to do :
Mod my chassis and use laser cutting to imprint my Sig on the side of the chassis.
Remove all company logos off all hardware (Gigabyte, Inno3D, Samsung, Corsair etc) and create my own.
Mod the H50 + H60 to run in one complete WC system with the cpu and 480.
Possibly Lap the CPU and either H50 or H60.
Configure the Chassis inners in a way to maximize airflow.
Lastly obviously, OC this thing to near death.

Im pretty new to watercooling so all of this will be a first for me, but Google is a kind gentle helpergnome at the moment
Will update any progress I have here over the coarse of the weekend.

Peace

You will need more than 2 x 120mm rads if you want to WC your CPU and GPU.

yeah It looks like total S@#$%t at the moment, was just to test whether it works,

Get 30-40 on idle (used to be 55) and get 72 load for 900core (havent played with mem yet) where I got 82 load for 700 core.

@OP, Frankenstein called to ask for his PC back.

 

[chowzen]

updates ?

 

[Green-Hydra]

nah no updates as dont have the money to mod

 

[Green-Hydra]

so got the 480 back, gave it to a friend who despirately needed a better GPU in his PC. we redid the whole thing, got new water, tape etc. and actually mounted it in his CM690. Looks quite decent to be honest. But for some odd reason couldnt get the clocks nearly as high this time.

Will post pics when I get a chance to take some decent photos.
