MM Pinnacle 24, Core i7 920, Dual GTX 295 - Liquid Cooled Work Log (Lots of pictures)
647 replies, posted
[b]Basic Specs;[/b]
Core i7 920 (Liquid cooled via Quad TFC Rad), Rampage II Extreme (Full cover NB & SB block & MOSFET blocks), Corsair 6GB DDR3 Dominator 1600MHz, Two Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB Hard Disks, Enermax Revolution85+ 950w, Two BFG GTX 295s (Liquid cooled via Triple TFC Rad with full cover blocks)
A combination of red coolant, red lighting wand black tubing should make the logo stand out in night or day
Cooling will be split into two seperate loops, and therefore two identical 12V Laing DDC1+ Ultra 18W pumps. A CPU/MOBO loop and a GPU loop
I'd like to thank Cosmic Duck for being there for me to bounce ideas off for the past couple of months, and some related and unrelated photoshopping

Pictures should be pretty much self explanatory, but I will be adding notes where I can, I'm not buying everything at once so I can make sure I get the best outcome that's possible with this build. Most pictures will be posted as a thumbnail and clicking on them will link to a larger version. I'll be updating and bumping the thread when there is any progress or new pictures. Once the build is complete I will be taking high quality long exposure pictures

12 days the Mountain Mods Pinnacle 24 Ikea-Flat Pack case has crossed the world and made it to my door step.
The case is completely aluminum, can hold a Quad radiator on the top and a Triple on the front. Every single piece has been Mirror Black power coated
These photos were taking pretty much as I was constructing the case and without my tripod so quality sucks a little.

After having a lengthy conversation with a talking duck (or maybe it was all the cellulose thinner I breathed in when removing thermal paste..), I've decided to mount the two indenticle 1TB hard drives on to the bottom of the case.

The cards weigh just under 2KG each with the water blocks on
Goldmember this man!
woah, it's a beast!
What's the point of all the fan holes if it's going to be watercooled
[QUOTE=Hillo;13463526]What's the point of all the fan holes if it's going to be watercooled[/QUOTE]
Most water cooling systems, like this one, use fans to push or draw air through the radiators. Passive water cooling isn't very effective
Does that mean that angry water cooling is effective?
Yeah but I don't think every side of the case will have a radiator stuck in it
[QUOTE=Hillo;13463778]Yeah but I don't think every side of the case will have a radiator stuck in it[/QUOTE]
The top and front will, but it's also still preferable to have fans that can be used as either intake, or in my case, exhaust fans on the rear of the case
Thing or two i have read about 4870x2's and watercooling.
If you get no screen at all it means that you need to plug it into the other card, above it or below it don't know which one.
If that still does not work, your watercooling system may be grounding your 4870x2, to check remove watercooling and use the stock fan, then boot, if that works, great.
Nevermind, you got it working, nice case, i would of just went with a haf.
That's looking pretty badass. Specs are nice too.
Promise me that this wont be glowing blue light like a christmas tree
My only "wtf?" was the enermax power supply and maybe the case.
Everything else sounds really cool.
holy fucking shit yes
Epic Win.
Just curious as to why you're going with Crossfire 4870x2's when if you want pure performance wouldn't you just go with SLI GTX 295's? The $40 price difference shouldn't be a problem for you.
You should have made the facepunch logo as the water reserve, and have led's lighting it up

Maybe it's personal preference. Or maybe he came across a deal where the X2s were quite a bit cheaper than the 295s would be.

Beat me to it.
Are there waterblocks for the GTX 295's yet?
Apparently they do

It's still under consideration, but the main reason is I already own one 4870X2, so It'd just be hassle to sell it

What mobo are you getting?
Also, you should add a spent so far part and the price of all the parts on the OP
[QUOTE=apwd007;13463200][b]Basic Specs;[/b]
Core i7 920 (Liquid cooled via Quad TFC Rad), Rampage II Extreme (Full cover NB & SB block), Corsair 6GB DDR3 Dominator 1600MHz, Two Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB Hard Disks, Enermax Revolution85+ 950w, Two Sapphire HD 4870X2s (Liquid cooled via Triple TFC Rad with full cover blocks)
A combination of red coolant, red lighting wand black tubing should make the logo stand out in night or day
Cooling will be split into two seperate loops, and therefore two identical 12V Laing DDC1+ Ultra 18W pumps. A CPU/MOBO loop and a GPU loop
I'd like to thank Cosmic Duck for being there for me to bounce ideas off for the past couple of months, and some related and unrelated photoshopping

Pictures should be pretty much self explanatory, but I will be adding notes where I can, I'm not buying everything at once so I can make sure I get the best outcome that's possible with this build. Most pictures will be posted as a thumbnail and clicking on them will link to a larger version. I'll be updating and bumping the thread when there is any progress or new pictures. Once the build is complete I will be taking high quality long exposure pictures
