Intel Mod Submission - Project FEAR

Back


This was one of my projects that was built purposely for the game F.E.A.R. and houses an Intel Quad Q6600 G0 SLACR.

The build took place inside the Thermal Take Lanbox Lite and also features a water cooling system inside to cool the Intel Quad so that it could be overclocked to 3.6ghz. The other hardware in this rig is;

PSU : OCZ GameXStream 1010w Power Supply
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-G33M-S2H LGA 775 Intel G33 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Ram: SUPER TALENT 4GB (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
GPU: Radeon HD 2900 XT
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3750640AS 750GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
DVD Drive: LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA Model LH-20A1L-06

Cooling:
Swiftech H20-120 Compact Water Cooling Kit
AlphaCool Cape Bullseye Internal / External Reservoir
Feser One - F1 - Cooling Fluid - UV BLACK / RED (custom mix)
All other hardware will be cooled with the stock cooling.

This rig had a lot of modifications done to the unit to be able to house the water cooling system.

Hey, What did you use for the watercooling setup? I was actually quite interested myself in pulling off something similar, except I was gonna add a 4870 to the loop as well. It will be one packed case when it's all done, any help would be appreciated.

Bah, Sorry. Didn't read the side notes. What did you replace the plastic window insert things with? Cause I lost a few of mine, and I like uniformity.
ArashinoKaze (July 11, 2008 at 1:04 am)
I actually simply modified the ones that came with the case and cut one of them down to size to fit the rad into place, I think put mesh behind the windows to give it a little more industrial look to it.

Sorry, I meant the screws, push-tab things that hold the window in place. They look like thumb screws? Caps screws?

I used bolts and Acorn nuts. Check out my forum and you can get all the details there and it will be easier for me to answer your questions there too.
