The Ultimate COD Rig

[FS~Phat]

Ive been busy upgrading my beast.... waiting patiently for COD to be sorted..



The ultimate gaming rig has had another upgrade while I wait for COD to get sorted!
Installed an Aquaero 5 XT controller with 6 slave controllers and a bunch of sensors.

Have to say this was the most fun I have had playing with water cooling!!
I have setup "target temp" controls to adjust the various fans based on each loops water temp. Also for the internal air temp, and Fan Amp temps.
Running up on the bench to work out the configuration.

I have the RGB led installed replacing the Power led so I get another quick visual clue to whats going on. Green for below operating temp, blue for normal temp and red for overheating.







Remounting the waterblock with METAL screws and insulators to tighten up the mount. The included plastic screws felt too flimsy and left the block a little floppy.






Tidying up the cables.








The Aquaero loop temp sensors and CPU sensor installation.








Installed the PA2s with an old Ram fan to cool PA2 heatsinks. Works remarkably well dropping Poweramp temps by 20c! Of course controlled by a PA2, to ramp up with a target temp 70c with a virtual sensor i set up for the PA2 Fan Amp temps

All Assembled







Overview page of my config in Aquasuite 2012.
A couple of the fans generate a dirty RPM signal below 6v but it doesnt effect the operation as the fans are voltage controlled anyway.

Here's a 15min Furmark run with 15min cooldown.
What an amazing piece of technology!
Reallllly quiet for normal computing and light gaming, but an absolute powerhouse when required. All seamlessly controlled.
