More info

looks nice :)

without any doubt, that's one of the best kits around!

oooooohh

chills running down spine

its gonna be an interesting one, for sure

Anyone knows a belgian shop that sells it? And it's price?

We suffered a setback, me and TerAngreal set out today to get the whole kit installed @ his place (I simply don't have room to build a watercooling setup :-/). It seems we are missing 2 things, one having more impact on the outcome then the other.

The 12V pump should have a bracket as seen in the pic below, but it wasn't included in the package we received:



no biggie, as the we fabricate something to hold the pump up quite easily..

but the other thing we found missing stops us dead in our tracks, as there were no fittings for the radiator; we tried to use the ones who were included with the bay reservoir but that turned out to be a bad idea :/
TerAngreal is going to order some copper fittings for the BIX so we get this great looking kit installed.

I just got myself a new Digicam to play with.
I took several pictures of the RBX, it is a true piece of craftmanship!

I have a Canon G5 and Canon A300 here. Took pics with them both. Can you tell me which picture was taken with what camera? :)

RBX pic two

what barbs do you need?

I've got 3/8" / 12mm barbs, in case you need such barbs

1/2"

DangerDen will be sending us the missing pieces! :ws:

service baby! :king:

no.
service is sending a well controlled packet at first.

service after punchase

getting what you pay for is not more then normal I guess

I agree. But it sure looks great! :o

goodies have arrived, testing can resume :)

Checking for leaks, 24h test. Next up will be placing the RBX on the motherboard and start stressing the CPU.

Asus mobo + P4 2.53 "B" will be tortured.


everything will have to fit in one small Antec Lanboy. It will be cramped in there:)

ow, you leaktest it first, good idea :)

by that I take it you don't? :)

do you trust those white hose clamps?

if they don't get tightened with a screwdriver, and you can rip them off they're crap. get some real hose clamps then

leak test will decide if they are crap or not I'd say =)

lol?

I'm exaggerating, but put your feet against the radiator and pull. do they come off easily?

yes. I will test that right away. sure. lol?

The fittings are tight, pulled on them with TerA, they won't come loose unless you want them off.

the system is @ TerA's place.

when the loop is empty, or you've got a barb free (from another waterblock, radiator,...) then you should try it

I don't trust them at first sight. they might get loose when you start moving stuff

shuttle AN50R is officially declared waterproof !

just like gainward gf2pro's ?

I did not try to boil my mobo :*

Sweet kit. : ) Have fun!

fun will start when start switching the nozzles, that'll be fun

First testrun today

Asus P4PE
P4 2.53B
512Mb TwinMoS
Sabre 200

30min K7burn

Room temp 19°C

MBM
CPU 33°C
Mobo 29°C

Sensor in Water (reservoir): 19°C
Sensor under Mobo/CPU: 37°C

not bad:)

asus undermeasures

next block-mount sensor will switch places and will be sitting closer to cpu.

anywhoo. thank you for your excellent comments:p

in the end it's the overclock that matters + noise-rate, will test for overclock on air <> on water also.

Any news here?

only final tests with RBX have yet to be completed ... seems to be a performant design :)
