Some serious cooling needed for this EVGA SR-2 board and although the 840 is a pretty big case it was obviously going to be to small for 3 loops so lets get "stacking" Anyway, i was looking at my separates under the TV and liked how they stacked with the round silver feet showing in between so decided to do something similar with the two 840's and make a stacked rad box to fit on top. I'm thinking a couple of EK 480 radiators up top - one for the CPU's and one for the full board block and and a couple of MIP's RAM Freezers. I'm removing the hard drive caddy from the main 840 and will be mounting two EK 240's there for the graphics cards. So, i did a bit of a crude mock up with bits of chewing gum just to see how things look. MINI 840 anyone System Spec: Coolermaster ATCs 840 Chassis x2 Intel X5650's EVGA SR-2 Motherboard 12GB Crucial RAM SSD's TBA PSU TBA Watercooling Spec: All TBA

Looks good. I was almost considering doing a major case mod like that untill I found the DD tower 29. My big problem is the lack of space to whip out my tools and work. I really would like to see some final pics later of the system. I also noticed it seems like you are going to run three GTX295s? Im intrested in that as well since i have two of the co-ops and was thinking of getting a third since they seem to be getting drasticly cheaper on ebay. Great job so far!

At this point i have no idea which cards the final build will use and only tried the 295's to see what it looked like. I'm shooting for a couple of XFX 5970 Black Editions as i liked how they worked on a previous build but time will tell i guess. Anyway, i finished off fabricating the rad box and got it riveted back together so decided to test fit one of the 480 rads which fit perfect so all the measuring paid off. The whole top will be replaced with a 6mm thick piece of aluminium with a vent that will match both sides of the box but more on that later - just added the original top to see how things were looking and i'm well chuffed. And finally, i couldn't resist a photo next to the mini H20 Cosmos:D Nothing more to see really but couldn't resist firing this thing up on the table I didn't think i had a PSU that would work but found a new Coolermaster Silent Pro M 1000w which has 2x CPU 12v 4+4 Pin and 6x PCIe 6+2 Pin and works a treat though not tried any 295's yet but booted and loaded W7 on a 74GB Raptor with a 285 and all seems well. Time to play

Those fans look awfully close to GELID Wing 12's lol, nice build though, looks like it needs to be institutionalized because it's so crazy!

Beeeutiful job. Gotta love that red/black combo on those rads! That whole "stacker" concept is really "thinking outside the box"! Rick

I'm rarely awestruck with case modifications because they are often too gaudy for my tastes or simply not functionally sufficient. (That is not to say I'm not impressed by many of them - just not awestruck.) Though, I have to say that this is truly magnificent! Looks very elegant and the sole modification is for the function. It is so impressive that if I could buy you a drink, I would. BR for the OP please?

Hrm... this build looks familiar ;) I am running all the same blocks from MIPS, but I went with EK's for the CPU.

Sorry Liu, i didn't mean to copy but this has been in the making some months now. I'm thinking three loops like this.... I've used red, blue and green so its easier to pick each loop out but i won't be going with those colours. 1x 480 rads for CPU's 1x 480 rads for MB and RAM Blocks 2x 240 rads for GPU's I'm still not sure on what cards i'm putting in yet.

Are you still thinking 3 loops? I don't think it would be worthwhile to split the CPU and chipset into two loops -- temps on those components don't really warrant it. Checkout how I did it, including temps here: http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=556020 I also just replaced the (2) XSPC D5 reservoirs with a single shared Koolance RP-450X2, while mainitaing 2 separate loops. Temps during folding (@4.255ghz) dropped ~5C (to 45-50C) due to "sharing" of the GPU rad. coolmiester

Very nice and pro! :D Are ALL four rads inside the top compartment or are the two 240 rads somewhere else? Edit: ok i reread the beginning of your thread. The two 240 rads go in the main 840 case, and the two 480s on top.

I can see people buying that top part... it's pretty sweet, just like a radbox with fan controllers and a sleek design.

cant wait to see pics, showing the fitting of the sr-2 mobo inside the acts 840 case!!¨ I have just begun planning components for my own sr-2 build, and i have yet to decide on the case...... would like something that actually looks good and sleek.
