Corsair 600T + Koolance Water Cooling + GTX 580 SLI

[LAURKAMY]

i didn t see the side panel... lol !

[triggaahappee]

Am I the only one that thought that the side panel was already opened??

[ZCMKiller]

What size tubing are you using in this build? It looks to me like it's 3/8ID 1/2OD. I just want to know cause I am stuck on what size tubing to go with for my first WC setup. But I rly like the look of the tubing you're using.

[IIIIICRASHIIIII]

@ZCMKiller You are correct! In my opinion, if you are using a mid-tower case, then 3/8ID 1/2OD will look great. If you are going with a full-tower case, I recommend nothing smaller than a 5/8OD for aesthetics.

[kindoraf]

are you selling any of your old parts?

[IIIIICRASHIIIII]

@kindoraf System was actually already sold. I'm currently building a 3960X/Rampage IV Extreme system with a fully custom TJ07 case. Will update you guys soon.

[nguyen8630]

On the other hand, where can I make a side-panel like yours? I have the 650D, but I want to make something like what you have. =)

[nguyen8630]

Can you list where you buy all your parts, besides Koolance. I like the cable sleeves and the leds you got there. I want to purchase the same items you have. I appreciate if you can list the places you bought those from. Thanks!!!

[MrShimi269]

Very nice, I have pretty much the exact same build but with 2 GTX 570s, I like the 2 raditor and then 1 radiator, that has helped me figure out how to do my set up now, that was a big worry, it is all air cooled now and so many fans the dust build up is crazy, what is the dust managment like now with the whole system liquid cooled? I am peaking around 85 degwhen I play a game on max, like Bad Company 2, and my room is always fairly hot and dusty, wondering what diffrences i would be looking at

[IIIIICRASHIIIII]

@MrShimi269 Still going to be dusty inside the case, especially if you have any of the rad fans pulling outside air into the case, such as I had it. Currently, I'm working on a TJ07 build with a 3960X and an ASUS Rampage IV Extreme motherboard. Setup will be entirely different.

[TheKootas]

COOL STUFF MAN!!

[ENYkidd33]

Hey can you post the links to the cooling parts you bought? and approx. how much did the whole setup cost you? I have the white 600t and i would love to water cool it.

Awesome build btw. It's beautiful.

[JayJay121991]

@ENYkidd33 I would also like to know this and want a very similar set up to you :) Links would be nice

[extremesoul666]

I <3 koolance

[TheArmenianArmo]

what radiators are you using?

[david179057]

do you think is it a good idea to replace a loud fan on your psu for a quieter one?

[ZndChannel]

What's your temps on the gtx 580s at load?

[Pac93]

Hey Crash ! Nice Rig you have there ! Igot a watercooled 600t aswell with HW labs rad in top and rear . I solved the the fan problem in the top by putting two Scythe Slip Stream Slim 120mm (12mm thick) pushing and 2 CM pulling on the top . Cooling my 2600k and cfx 6950s very very well ! You maybe want to have a try ....works great ! Scythe fans = 45cfm each , CM fans 76 cfm each ! Keep up the great and clean work my friend !

600T FTW , sorry for bad english , greetings from france !

[Tiltentei]

You know, heat rises. so basicly you are working aginst the laws of nature. I would make the top fans exhaust. The rad in the back could be intake if wanted.

The way it is now, you have two big intake sources and just a small exhaust. Tbh i dont think this is optimal for your airflow. Anyways, very nice build you got there.

[IIIIICRASHIIIII]

@Tiltentei For optimal aesthetics I felt this was my only choice. However, the new build I'm working on is a flipped motherboard with GPUs facing towards the top. I will release a video of it soon.

[XxMrPiChUxX]

Sick pc man, I think I'm gonna get back into custom pcs and I've had my eye on this case

[easterlingderek34]

Looks great

[maphacker111]

Hey crash, i wanted to know where you bought your full acrylic side panel??

[IIIIICRASHIIIII]

@maphacker111 mnpctech(dot)com

[TheGamersHud]

@IIIIICRASHIIIII

can you put an exact link up? or PM the link to me? because i went to the website and I cant find it...im thinking that you custom ordered it though..plz respond!

[iamyogiee]

I'm sorry I haven't gone through all comments, so if this was asked and answered before, I apologize for asking again.

That side panel is kick-ass... how / where did you got it done? or Did you do it yourself? In either case that's some pretty impressive stuff. 600T doesn't have regular flat slide panels and whoever did that sidepanel all with 600T's clamps is amazing.

I've already decided on 600T for my Ivy Bridge rig and I would love to get that side-panel done. :)

[IIIIICRASHIIIII]

@iamyogiee These guys can make it for you, mnpctech(dot)com

[samypatrick]

Nice build!! i have a question? i have 3 gtx 580 and i will cool this with 1x 360 and 1x 140 radiator you think this is enough?? cpu + 3 gtx 580 with x360 and 1x140? please answer?

[IIIIICRASHIIIII]

@samypatrick It should be fine but FPI and thickness of your rad matters too.

[samypatrick]

@IIIIICRASHIIIII Thx ok i hope it works when its done im show you my video! THX nice pc!

[pccustomcool]

Well done!

[3HACKRZ]

nice setup. That white tubing at the bottom of the case leading from the 120 rad to the res seems a little bit long

[IIIIICRASHIIIII]

@3HACKRZ Was done on purpose for specific reasons.

[3HACKRZ]

@IIIIICRASHIIIII just trying to spot errors cause your setup is bad-ass. better than mine for now. iv got some competition for a new years resolution lol

[IIIIICRASHIIIII]

@3HACKRZ You should see what I'm building now. tinyurl(dot)com/86xramv

[3HACKRZ]

@IIIIICRASHIIIII nice modding that hdd and ssd mounting is badass. but why are you using the z68 1155 instead of x79 2011. what gpu is that the 6970. epic build though im gonna subscribe for that

[IIIIICRASHIIIII]

@3HACKRZ On the new build, I want to wait for the IB release so I don't want to make a jump to X79 too soon. The P67/Z68 boards are still very relevant and great for the end consumer, aesthetically and functionally. And the GPU is a 6950 unlocked to a 6970. It's the beauty in simplicity + smart budget build. The new build is just as powerful as my rig in the video above and I spent about $1,000 less this time around. To me, that's epic.

[3HACKRZ]

@IIIIICRASHIIIII awsome nice build

[UrHideless]

This is my dream build.

[keiki646]

Very well explain and nice build by the way, my system is not as cool as this build but this is a very well explain and thought out plan for this build and yes everyone quick disconnects can save your life and it's so much easier.

[blazinazn608]

How much did you pay for your kit Crash? Im about to make a 2k build in a couple months, want to know how you efficiently did water cooling. And pricing of it all with the koolance gear.

[IIIIICRASHIIIII]

@blazinazn608 The entire build cost me around $4,200. The WC setup cost me roughly $1,400.

[uutttg]

Oh yea, very sexy build.

[EAnushan1]

Was your pump running when you disconnected the quick disconnect? Wouldn't that cause a pressure build up and potentially cause a leak?

[IIIIICRASHIIIII]

@EAnushan1 It can happen. It was demonstrated to show how well the QDCs worked, even with moving water flow. However, it was only disconnected for roughly 10 seconds. Not enough time to build pressure to "pop" a leak. lol

[onogrirwin]

OCN ,!,,!

[IIIIICRASHIIIII]

@onogrirwin I'm on there! *thumbs*

[jimmyakakev]

Love it dude =] thanks for the demo of the quick disconnects too...first time i've see it!

[IIIIICRASHIIIII]

@jimmyakakev Glad you enjoyed the vid.

[TheArmenianArmo]

I fucking love that case bro. Wish I had bought it instead of the Storm Sniper, and nice rig too, a lot of stuff put into a mid tower.

[IIIIICRASHIIIII]

@TheArmenianArmo Most definitely. Thanks for the kudos.

[PCModderMike]

@IIIIICRASHIIIII Haha I'm trying to get ready to go out while briefly watching this video, maybe I didn't look hard enough. But these are what I'm using between my 570's... Hmm of course "error, try again", I will PM you the link.

[PCModderMike]

I seriously need to quit slacking and post an updated video of my rig, it's similar to yours, I went with white tubing as well. Also using the Koolance SLI connectors.

[IIIIICRASHIIIII]

@PCModderMike Are you talking about Koolance's sliding GPU connectors or something else?

[PCModderMike]

@IIIIICRASHIIIII Yes the adjustable Koolance connectors.

[PCModderMike]

Nice, looks beast!

[liljaker]

Looks amazing, loved it, I am going to build my first build in a 600t white with ivy bridge whenever it comes out, but I am too afraid to go watercooling on a first build, what do you think

[IIIIICRASHIIIII]

@liljaker I was a bit weary at first as well. Just ensure all fittings are secure and that you map everything out as necessary before installing any WC setup. I also use PC Ice non-conductive fluid. Although conductivity can increase if the fluid comes in contact with heavy dust, just ensure you keep your rig clean. I actually spilled some fluid on my GPU and everything was fine.

[kevinsdb1]

Very, very nice build. Plus I love Koolance.

[IIIIICRASHIIIII]

@kevinsdb1 Thanks for the kudos.
