system rendering

davidkruta · 20-April-04, 11:59 PM

ok i just made a model(almost 100% to scale, i eyeballed a couple minor details)
so this is how i was thinking i would have it set up.
it goes:
pump>rad>cpu>gpu>res>pump

key:
red: radiator
green: fans
purple: pump
dark blue: res
light blue: tubing

any recomendations on how to change it? or is it fine that way?
also, the tubes coming out of the top are there for 2 reasons: lack of vertical space and it might look cool(if theyre clear).

What rad?

Why 4x80 radiator fans instead of quieter (more effective) 120mm fans.

As for layout, it looks good and neat. The only downside is that the rad is the highest point and will therefore be prone to air trapping.

the rad is an 82-87 pontiac chevette heater core.
the size of it is perfect for 4 80mms, but i might try to do something with 120s, ive got 4 of them lying around.
i was also thinking of moving the res above it, ill get another render going in a bit.

edit: i just realized that since im making my own res, i can design it how i want! this opens up many possibilities.

What about the chipset? If your gonna watercool ya gotta go all out imo.

wow Mr James "David" Bond has done it again - what software did you use to do that? Becuse I could use some diagrams looking like that.

Yeh im all for the sticky out and over pipes on top of the case - if they're appropiatly lit, and are very clear colour wise, I would see that as a problem. Are you going to use a rubber edging on the holes you cut tho? I remember on you previous drawings that the PSU was somwhere down the bottom - is that going to be where the bottom most green fan is?

the diagram was constructed in 3d studio max 5.
i forgot that i was putting the psu down there, yes it will be there.

im not going to watercool the chipset because imo it is not as important and it will just add heat to the water. i plan on using a beastly hsf and having good airflow in the case.
