I believe the time for a small update has arrived…
After the waterblock was fixed with adding new fittings it was time to fix the paint, which was a bit destroyed…
And seen from the side…
And the back..
And again the side…
Next step is to install the pump and close the waterblock, paint some more additional parts, install the tubes and refill the AIO.
First off I’d like to say a sincere “Thank you” to Dobrin Krustev , the actual causer of this mod. After long time debating and considering an idea, we finally came to a point where it all started to arrange itself. I’ll try to be as clear and informative as possible – the basic idea is to build a Spartan shield, just like the ones in the movie “300” based on the comics from Frank Miller. And behind it – a stand for a PC. We haven’t quite actually designed the stand for the PC, but with the work going, I think it will all come to its place at the end. I and a friend of mine will create the worklog and the actual mod from scratch.
От известно време насам си мисля, че нещо липсва в този сайт и стигнах до извода, че ще бъде хубаво да се появи информация относно някой друг модинг проект. Точно по тази причина реших да кача малко информация за един модел(продукт), който направих преди около година за състезание организирано от фирмата Cooler Master.
Здравейте колеги,
След дългата почивка, която си направих след провеждането на тестовете за 120мм вентилатори, реших да се възползвам от един от тях и да модна скромното си процесорно охлаждане.
Good afternoon sir Dobrin Krastev, How did you make the fittings ?
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,
@Pepix
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.
@milce
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.
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. 🙂
will you make a complete build Dk_Vr? I wonder what it would look like with that colour scheme..
The originally white fans look great painted in gold, you have a hidden artist inside yourself 🙂
Nice job painting the fitting – it looks even better than before 🙂
Sometimes bad things happens only to make them better
@ Pepix
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 🙂
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.
🙂 Next time try to do it from ground up.. if you are going to manually modify everything anyway 🙂
Well, bad things happen sometimes, but keep going, I am really want to see the final result 😉
Nice work Dobri. I will monitor the progress of the project.
Inspiring job so far, gold color looks great, I’m looking forward to see the final results 🙂
