Radiical Ultra Extreme Water Cooling Kit and the Cooler Master Stacker Case Project 2

Radiical Ultra Extreme Water Cooling Kit and the Cooler Master Stacker Case Project

Build Log Date December 20, 2004

Part Two.........Tubing

We have decided to use copper for the tube under structure. Given that this case will form the basis for future trials of a 3/8" copper tubed water block system we have used 1/2" copper for the induction and radiator side components. To assist with inline temperature measurement the current 1/2" system changes from copper tube to 1/2" ClearFlex so that we can fit and change out temperature probes.

For ease of viewing of the components we have taken pictures from the top down in a plan view. This will be complemented by in the "in case" shots to show final positioning. We have used a Swiftech MCP600 pump on this build. The idea here is that there is sufficient space to install two pumps in a future development of this project.

Basic Radiator Placement

The second picture shows the connection of the radiator at the front of the case to the horizontally positioned second radiator

Top Tubing Joiner added

The third picture shows the connection of radiator two to the MCP600 pump

Return Tubing to MCP600 Pump

The fourth picture illustrates the outlet of water flow to the water block. A more detailed illustration of water flow pattern will be shown later on in the project.

Outlet to Water Block Tubing

The fitted or in case pictures show what can be seen of the system from the outside.

In these prototype pictures it can be seen that no attempts are made at this point to secure the parts. They are simply tacked together for ease of adjustment. Tube ends have been flared to accept hose tubing which will be the final part of the system fitting when the motherboard is in place.

The next section will deal with the all important filling and bleeding of dual radiator systems.
