[arg-ist]

new case is an old friend CORSAİR 800D.

The original case

What I want to achieve are:

To modify 800D case
To instal watercooling1x loop with 2x rads (Push-pull)
To install liquid cooling via Copper and acrylic pipe.
To use a special distributor for water distribution as midplate, laser cutted.
To enlarge the case for radiator fans since it is not wide enough.

[arg-ist]

Made an alu midplate for plexi water distrubutor.

Midplate and backplate mat black painted

 

[arg-ist]

to enlarge the case , fans were taken out of the case

I made a radiator shroud for fans

and used a self made lazer cutted rad grill on the shroud

Corsair 800 D has a 360 rad gril on the top.

I want to use an Alphacool UT 60 – 480 RAD on the top of the case . therfore ı added 4th
120 mm fangrill with drilling .

but there was a problem to mount the 480 rad . on the top of the case was a pit 5mm for 360 rads

these coused problems at the inside and outside.. ı solved these problem with a 120 mm gasket at the inside and a self made 5mm rubber 360 gasket at outside..

Alphacool UT 60 480 mounted on the topwith push-pull fans and Koollance shroud

480 mm rad mounted on the top

pull fans mounted with koolance shroud

And Monsta 240 mounted at his place.

One of Connection threads from Monsta , was used for draining with a single rotary 90 adapter and a mini valve of Bitspower.

becouse pull fanns of monsta was at outside of the case. , it was made an shroud onthe backcover.

 

[arg-ist]

and planning the way for cupper pipes from MB(White line)(blue acrylic)

and next planning of acrylic pipes (blue line)

and bending of copper pipes.

in and out pipes of 480 rad changed

New 5.25 cages with 60 mm depth instead of original 180 mm depht

Added CPU acrylic pipes

 

[moritzl]

Looks pretty awesome. Can't wait for the final pics....

 

[arg-ist]

working a bit more with pipes of southbridge and (VRM / MOSFETs) modüle . changed angels of bending…

the green marked pipes must be riht angle and the the pipes blue marked must be paralel
and done…

and the hight of the pipes.the distance between MB and pipes was 100mm and it is downloaded to 50 mm

acrylic pipes of video cards added. ( only one videocard is at photo)

I wannt to make a BLACK plexi(glossy) backplate. And RED plexi gromets for cables.

and what ı wannt to do as backplate..

And done

and planning of plexi waterdistributor as mid plate.

And what ı want to do. Black plexi and blood red fluid with ROG logo.

And drawn with corel to cut with lazer.

 

[arg-ist]

To separate PSU from watercooling ,and to hide the cablles ı made a seperatör.

added a filport to the case.

illuminated relief rog logo

Added gromets for cables.

Hi

Distibution block looks great

but - could you please tell me how the water curcuit will run
so much i can see till now
i dont get the circle on the left of the graphics card
and on the other side in the CPU circle on some point i run into a dead end - is there more tubing to come?

regards Markus

This is the circuit .only a second gtx 780 added. with next updates you can see it better.

 

[odie0815]

OK, I'm already corious about the next update

maybe then I'll get rid of the knot inside my brain where you feed the outlet of the grafics card back inot the cooling circuit

with second Videocard added you can see the circuit. and ı must add, at the buttom of distr. there some pipes too, between distr., monsta 240 and pump.

you can see buttom here

update 25/09/2014



Becouse there is no place at 5.25 bay for SSD s and HDD, ı made special trays for them . I used 15X15mm Alu T Profil.

And trays mounted to HDD and SSD

And all mounted to the case.

The plexi Water distrubutor has 4 layers.

1- 5mm black plexi at buttom
2- 10mm clear plexi (with lazercutted water channels) in the middle
3- 5mm clear plex on the top i for fittings
4- 2mm black plexi as mask

First bonding acrylic sheets with cloroform. layers 2 and 3

Two layers bounded with cloroform

First leak test

And leak test passed with success.


Dont use metal drils

tapping and preparing for fittings

 

[arg-ist]

UPDATE 02/10/2014


Next step, bonding the buttom black plexi from the inside.

And bonding the top plexi as mask with logo

The black plexi mask at the top is 5mm larger from all sides to illuminate the main plexi with a strip led.

And with led strips to control

Acrylic tube fittings mounted to distributör.

The 2.nd leak test with green fluid. The fluid was a brite grenn primochill

but it seems as a dark pastel fluid becouse of black buttom plexi.(not illuminated)

quick illuminated to see the real color.

Very nice

UPDATE 08/10/2014


ORGANIZING 5.25” DRIVE BAYS 1

The depht of my 5.25 drive bays is only 60 mm. Bu ı want to use it


1 - I want to use the ON- OF control panel of corsair 800D.

2- I want to use my Thermaltake media lab

3- I want to turn of the power of the HDD if it is necessary.


I could use my self built 4 way HDD switcher

But ı made a new controller for leds and HDD switcher together

I have 3 ledsrips in the case and 6 leds on blocks. I want turn of the leds strips and dimm if it is necessary . Therefore ı usued 5 K ohm ON-OF pottanciometers. And red leds to see the on- of positions.

And one 2 way ON-OF switch for HDD with a yellow led on

 

[arg-ist]

UPDATE : 23.10.2014



4 - I want t to use a fan controller , Lamptron FC5 V3, to control rad fans (13 fanns on 240rad and 480 rad - push-pul)

And control the fluid temps at rad outputs , with aquacomputer inline sensors on Lamptron

I will to monitor the pumps speed on lamptron and control the pumpspeed with FC5V3 (it has 30 watt outpoot per chanell)

But my old swiftech 655 has no tacho output to monitor accurately the pumps speed. İt must be modified .

First the tacho outpoot must be found on the PCB

scraped the coating off the little circle at PCB with a dremel till I see copper .

Soldered a 3 rd wire to monitor the pump speed

Changed the power cables and used a 3 pin female fan connector , to connect it to fan controller.

You can see the speed of pump on LCD Display and adjust the speed with knob at Lamptron FC5
V3

Something to add:

Swiftech 655 pump is working at

Nominal voltage 12 V DC

Nominal power (@ 12 V) 24 W

Nominal current (@ 12 V) 2 amps

Therefore you need a digital fan controller min 25 watt to control it over fan controller.

But to see only the speed of the pump,you cann use any digital fan controller.

T o do this you must add the yellow tacho cable of pump , to the yellow tacho kable of fan controller.

That is all.

 

[arg-ist]

The last tubings between pump-midplate-and 240 monsta done .

Pump isoliert

The bottom chamber is red illuminated. And controlled with a dimmer from panel , to vary the brightness of a light . I want a dark room..

You can dimm

Darker

And darker

And darker…

And you can shut of.

update 20.11.2014



recent addıtıons to the case…

There is a problem on most Mainboards if we cool it with MB Waterblock…

You must see this image

İnstead of the BLACK BEAUTY of rampege 4 extrem black edition.
I think , ıt is one of the best design

I planned to use the original cooler of the MB but painted .

But it was not all … cooler does not cover all the metal look . there is 5-6 mm space
between EL I/O shield and cooler .

therfore ı mounted an U shaped 2mm black plexi ,

and then mounted the cooler.


the results

UPDATE 20/08/2014


My firend wanted to see some logos on his Case.He likes the logos… I draw 3 logos for the case. And laser cutted all together. but the pieces were too small and there was too many parts.
I came home with a great plastic bag
…

Took quite long to classify..

A Repuclic of gamers logo (relief) and illuminated

And special logo for my friend to SLİ bridge .

his name is Salih SakSAK , I made a logo from the first letters of the name… SSS
(relief) and illuminated .

 

[jbfem]

Copperpipe wow Nice idea

 

[arg-ist]

update 28.11.2014



And a special CORSAIR logo to Corsair Case (Just finished)

As signature…

Sails in relief…

staged from the far away to the nearest

from small sail to the large..

.from left to the right..

.to give full sail effect.

Of corse illuminated

At my next corsair logo i ll try to make it relief and cambered… arg-ist

[arg-ist]

Hi you know the problems with my EK Nickel Coated Waterblocks,

This is one of the block. They are full correded at 4 months and nickel coating was robbed. You can see copper on nickel coated waterblocks.

And EK could do nothing for blocks…whic are used onl 4 months....
This is the answer of EK about the problem. Thanks !!! EK for your help…

I must do anything for waterblocks…

firstly cleared corrosion as chemically and mechanically

than Nickel coated again

“sadly you can't do anything but to replace corroded parts.” Was the answer of EK…

And this are the results from waterblocks….

EK said :
“It would be a good idea to find out what is the cause of it in order to avoid it happening in the future. “

I shall think two times when buying EK EN Waterblocks again..
You can also do so. arg-ist

Of course an new build and upgrade is coming so.on
