[Worklog]: Project Black Water

03.04.2014

I believe it is time for a small update…

After the block was painted I was pretty eager to assemble it…

Both the painted radiator and the waterblock together..

After I painted both the radiator and the waterblock I tried to assemble and try the AIO. Unfortunately I used too hard to bend tubes which broke one of the waterblock plastic fittings and now need to be fixed..

    1. Hello John,

      Thank you for being formal but we are casual people here helping each other so we can continue with casual communication.

      On page 5 – https://www.dvtests.com/project-black-water/5/ of this project worklog there is more information how I and a friend did it.

      If I remember correctly, since it was 4 years ago, we glued some metal inserts in the wholes and then made a screw with a pretty rare tool for my country since we use the metric system.
      Please check the pictures on the web page.

      Best Regards,

    I was thinking to make a complete build in black/gold colour scheme but seems my case cant operate with twin radiator water cooling. Apart from that the AIO is not AMD compatible anymore.

    I can’t quit the project since I started it in first place. I never quit anything I do no matter the difficulties 🙂
    Soon the AIO will be ready.

  2. I’m glad you didn’t quit despite the difficulties. As someone said in the comments above, great color pick, it looks way better than the original fan color. I’m anticipating the final look and the tests results. 🙂

  3. will you make a complete build Dk_Vr? I wonder what it would look like with that colour scheme..

  4. The originally white fans look great painted in gold, you have a hidden artist inside yourself 🙂

    Next time. Now I need more experience with the watercooling setups.

    @ Dimcho
    Yea hopefully. I almost abandoned the project when I broke the fitting but Ivan Ivanov has the tools to install new one… Anyway modding the waterblock for new tubes was entirely his job 🙂

  6. As the Battlecruiser (StarCraft) says: “Take it slow, make it happen” 😀 Hopefully there will be no more obstacles and we’ll see the mode soon.

  7. 🙂 Next time try to do it from ground up.. if you are going to manually modify everything anyway 🙂

  8. Well, bad things happen sometimes, but keep going, I am really want to see the final result 😉

  9. Inspiring job so far, gold color looks great, I’m looking forward to see the final results 🙂
