Finally finished sleeving my 24pin cable. Took forever :D

 

I'll post pics of it with my next batch of things (probably the reservoir when it arrives)

[squirrl]

Finally the new update :D

This features:

2x FrozenQ 250mm Liquid Fusion Custom White.

AquaComputer Cuplex Kryos XT

PrimoChill Primoflex Advanced White 13/10 tubing

Finished cable sleeving

Update on the external power switch:

all sleeved

Build log update

The reservoirs!!!

Individual shot

Non lit

PCI bracket switch. Looks terrible and unsleeved.

Soon took care of that. Cut off the extension which was just in the way and stopped me sleeving one of the cables without having to cut and reattach it.

The tubing. Very flexible and looks great!

the CPU Waterblock

More box

Accessories

The actual block

Finally the finished power cable sleeving!

*Dose res' ;)

 

They didn't come cheap, but they were the only ones worthy of the build :D

[AxelPeeters]

[blindsighted26]

[crocski]

Finally the finished power cable sleeving!

Man, you did well.. *slow clap

 

those white connectors  :wub:  This whole build. :D

[Focux]

my fav waterblock right now. would trade my Supreamacy Clean for it lol

[squirrl]

I've ordered my fittings and GPU block and that looks even better :D

[Nicktrance]

That block looks so sexy! :o.

Update time Got lots more stuff today.

The external power switch is now soldered and ready. Just needs some tube covering and coating and it's ready. I created a new PCI bracket for the (now 6.25mm) jack on the PC side for the switch and used the same bracket for the cathode LED switch.

Anyway, lots of watercooling stuff came today

The coolant.

The new fan for the back of the case. I may spray the blades white.

Out of the box

Included accessories are a fan speed reducer and a fan cable extender.

And orange mounting thingies

the extra cables. Slightly different shade than my other cables which is disappointing, but i need to find some way of getting the sata cable to be long enough to show the cable on both sides - the SSD when it is mounted and on the motherboard.

Unwrapped

GPU block and fittings

Fittings which won't be visible

Monsoon!

Straight fittings

90 degree fitting

All together

Tube snipper

And the GTX 780 engraved waterblock :D

All the components are ready now (Just case modding things left)

[FloRolf]

What size are the monsoon fittings?

What size are the monsoon fittings?

 

13/10

The template is almost finished for the back now. (just need to get the mounting placements for the reservoirs and where the tubing goes straight down to the basement as per that green concept that i did)
I'll have some new images up tomorrow

[itslegendddd]

Gosh i love that 900D!

Great build, keep up the good work! Good choice for fittings and I really like builds that use white as the base color and accent things with another color. White is usually only used as a contrast to black and to accent, not as a base neutural color. For radiator fans I would go for the sexy whiteness that is the noiseblocker eLoop, but typhoons are as good. Will you dye them or just hide the grey? Are you thinking cold white lighting or UV? Plz don't say orange lighting...

Thanks I considered the e-loops but went for the typhoons on general recommendation as the e-loops tended to whine when they were up against something on the side they were pulling from (i.e the basement cover). I was considering dying them but i'll leave them at the moment and see what it looks like

For the lighting, the reservoirs actually have cathodes that come with them. they originally came with UV blue but i replaced them with white as i want the choice of colours on the inside to be visible and not bleached like orange lighting will do  

[squirrl]

Okay, here's the new update:

Radiator fitted in place:

Watercooling bits for the basement

The new orange alpenfohn fan fitted.

Finally got the orange monsoon stop fittings and the extensions that were missing from the pump.

Started on the template for the back panel. The original panel is full of holes and stuff that have been punched through that look messy and that i don't need so i'm making the new one and carbon wrapping it

Here's the cut one for the basement. I just need to finish the back and line up the reservoirs so that i can line up the holes for were the tubing comes out of them and down into the basement.

Fitted a spare old mobo that i had lying around to make sure the screws were lined up right and the extra thickness of the panel didn't interfere with anything.

Woo! Athlon 64!

Template all cut out. All that is left is the reservoir holes creating.

And fitted with the motherboard. Looks a lot neater despite the white which will be black when it's done.

I have 5 eLoops on my rads and I love them! I can't hear them at all! Maybe it is because my radiators (see my signature) have low FPI (fins per inch) or because I set them with fan expert 2 at 1100-1200 rpm. At full speed (2000rpm) sure you can hear them, but they hum, I wouldn't say they whine. I just don't want good fans to have a false bad fame.

Anyway good choices and good job so far. The old mobo template, we all do it I hope you put some LEDs near those back and mid panels and not just carbon wrap them. Waiting for a carbon update...
