[Project] L3pipe

[l3p-NL]

Next day .. satisfied.




So ... got what I wanted




Back to the setup.






Gotta play with it off course












The color will probably become white




Trying to get inspired for the next update




And a little round-up video incl. the SLI/GPU enlightening.

Love your work!...And keep working hard, can't wait to see the final product impatience is killing me, lol

[RoG]

very nice m8, just awesome how you did the mod on the sli bridge ;D! Keep up the good work!

[l3p-NL]

Thanks guys!

Small update.

Back to the SSD's.




Lets first cut them in half








Some people got scared by this photo on facebook




Giving the Dominator Platinum fins a nice rounding.




And some more sawing, filing and sanding.






Should become something like this




Corsair Force LX Dominator Platinum 1TB Raid0 SSD




Also got the question if I was able to do something with the new Neutron XT's but the PCB is a little larger.
Will come up with something different for them




Also got the pipe from CoolForce/Nanoxia for this project. Something I haven't been working with before.
12/10 mm PETG ... Finally! (instead of acrylic)





Made a little video of it with some of the differences.

Sorry for the late update but I was kinda busy :-)


Got a very nice package from Parvum Systems.




Justin en Shaun wanted to help me out, win-win!










You can ask these guys anything, they can do it














Again, thanks a lot Parvum Systems!




Fixing a little mistake I made, went well with a 20mm countersink.




Finally playing around with fittings!






This update was a little late because of my own pc upgrade, and ...



Spent a week on Cooler Master Headquarters with Richard Kiersgieter, Richard Surroz, Ronnie Hara, Mathieu Heredia en Stuart Tonks.
All I can say .. it was AWESOME :P

So .... drilled some holes

First getting all the measurements.






I planned to weld the top part to the bottom part for max stability.
However decided to do it with what I have at home and by hand




Lovely to work outside.






And the top part (mainboardtray)




And how I want to mount it.










Work space after an afternoon of drilling, sawing, sanding, filing and tapping




Also mounted the PSU frame.






And blocks done for frame mounting.




Now just need to mount them.










And mount the mainboard tray standoffs








Done!






Adjusting the reservoir holders




To be able to mount them to the radiators.




And mounted some parts

Looking good peter, will be my 1st time with hard tubes, im a bit scared lol

[l3p-NL]

Don't be scared ... it will become a new huge part of your hobby

Back!
Was a bit busy cause of Computex - Cooler Master en Nanoxia


First gave the 'Corsair Force LX raid0 ssd' a new home with 3M duallock.



And then ... how to start here .. I really hate cable management. (maybe cause I'm an electrician?)




Testing the fans and LEDS at night.




And back to the cables, one by one.




Behind the 240 radiator are a lot of cables hidden from fans, pumps and the Corsair Links.




I was missing something on the radiators and push/pull was a bit too much in my opinion.




So went for these radguards from Highflow with white inlay.




15 minutes later.




Better.




Changed the GPU cables from 6+2 pins to 6 pins.




Oops ... got to hide this behind the PSU.




So removing more unnecessary connectors.




For this project I was looking for a clip in the same style as the project itself.
So sat down before it and just waited till something came up.
Why not in same style as the Dominator Platinum fins?
Had a good talk with my bud Scott Bruins and he came with this design .. awesome






We were both already in contact with Nanoxia / Coolforce and because they saw something in it too they decided to bring them out




This is the first prototype and the finals will be less wide (1cm on a 24-pin) and will have 2 x M3 mounting holes on the back.




And ordered a Bitspower X-station so I can easily play around with the 4 different pumps/loops.




Would like to know your thoughts about the clip

l3p --- I'm exhausted ... again!!! OutFreak'nStanding goodSir ... Of Course. WOW !!!
Excuse me while I wipe up the drool and slobber from my desk ...

This is ... ok, I have no words. That alone should say it all !!!

As to the clip ... et. ... tbh. although neat and clever, a fine precision piece of work in their own right, they look a little
bulky to the build, imho, my eye is drawn to those two horizontals throwing off the balance of the image.
((but it is just an image and may have a different impact in person ... ))

I, as with all your work from the rip, can not wait to see the fini. thankyou. .c.
