Putting It Under Water

I’ve started laying out the file server system using the node from my C6005 experiments. The EK blocks need to have the outer portion of the ears cut off to fit the close quarters, but I’m pleased with things so far. Now to lay out the copper tubing!

Server motherboard with a water block and copper tubing installed in an open chassis — Beginning layout of components (PSU is not the final unit)

Server motherboard on a workbench before the water cooling was fitted — Chipset waterblocks installed

Close-up of copper CPU water blocks with push-fit tubing fittings — Waterblock close-up

Power supply wiring and adapter cables inside the server chassis — Doing some more testing, this time with a the 20-pin connector adapter

Server chassis running on a workbench with an external power supply — Awesomely silent high efficiency Seasonic single 12V rail PSU

Custom power adapter cable with a 24-pin connector — Adapter wire

Open server chassis with water-cooled CPU blocks connected by copper tubing — Hard disk backplane
