Valgar Posted August 19 Author Posted August 19 (edited) Very intensive days. I'm starting mounting the entire machine, working until late night. I'm showing hull's bottom work. Starting from a plastic board cut and drilled. A detail of brass bushes placed to keep the feet. I milled the groove where will be placed a led strip. Groove finished, radiator and pumps hole. I soldered nine pieces to give right shape. Soldering process finished. After that I filled the groove with epoxy to make the strip waterproof and to prevent from occasional contacts. A detail Placing a set of 3d printed feet. Turned on through an Arduino Nano. Edited August 19 by Valgar 1
Valgar Posted August 23 Author Posted August 23 I found this front panel hub from an old Cooler Master case. I drawn the 3d model and I printed the bracket to join it on the frame. I couldn't use the original plastics and I also drawn a brand new shield.
Valgar Posted August 27 Author Posted August 27 Hi! Part of components that I'll use. I choose Cooler Master Sickle Flow 120mm fans because is interesting the fact that they have a reverse edition. In this case is good for the radiator air flow. I tried these fans on other pc that I mounted and they are silent with good flow. I also choose a V850 Psu by Cooler Master. Very easy the modular option and the fanless hybrid switch. I'll build a double independent closed loop for Graphic card and Cpu respectively, Alphacool components. Mounting the entire pc, the base with gpu radiator, pumps and psu slot. I cut four pieces of acrylic glued and threaded to reach the thickness. A little hub for the fittings connections. Some custom handmade springs. Acrylic hub, springs and soft tubes mounted. 2
Valgar Posted September 3 Author Posted September 3 Hi there, this is a photo of GPU water block mounting process. Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acryl Gpx-A on Asus TUF Radeon 6800XT.
Valgar Posted September 5 Author Posted September 5 Top parts assembling, two 80mm fans in the front and the usb panel attached on the frame. The gpu brackets with the 200 mm PCI-E 4 riser and a lot of cables to fix.
Valgar Posted September 6 Author Posted September 6 Hi, little focus on this little mod that I made on AM4 cpu backplate because in this system it's almost impossible to bring the plate before mounting the cooler. To maintain a compact system I added four rubber washers and stud bolts to bring the backplate. Now it's possible to mount the motherboard with an integrated backplate. This issue now fixed on AM5.
Valgar Posted September 8 Author Posted September 8 Building the water loop with rigid acrylic tubes. Here some manual bending operations. The complete set of tubes that I bended. The Cpu loop completed. The Gpu loop.
Valgar Posted September 9 Author Posted September 9 (edited) StreamLogic turned on. It works! I published the last mounting photos with about a week of delay because in the beginning I had some troubles with the filling procedure but now I'm sure that the entire system works. I'm actually mounting and refinishing the outside. New printing and painting photos soon. Here a photo of my custom filling procedure that I made-up for this project. In these photos I played Starfield. Edited September 12 by Valgar
Valgar Posted September 12 Author Posted September 12 I attach some 3d printed pieces of the external body. Printed parts are sanded and painted for a smooth finishing.
