Just finished my new watercooled loop

[Chen_xD]

Hey Everyone,

Just finished my watercooling loop! There were some struggles as there were some out of spec dimensions I bad to fit for my 750d obsidian case. I hope you guys enjoy some glamorous photos taken of it by my silly nexus 5 phone camera.

The estute watercooling enthusiasts of you will notice that my memory modules are silly generically looking green with memory chips on them and my motherboard is a silly gigabyte gaming 3 well... I wanted to go even more balls deep with the look of the mobo but I didn't want to get an ultra motherboard to do this with because this is not a new computer and I didn't want to upgrade from my haswell 4770 cpu with skylake as a whisper in the distance. As many of you avid linus techtips followers will know Intel will not be postponing skylake (by much) due to broadwell's delay and will come as soon as q4. I didn't think it made much sense to upgrade to a maximus formula and get dominator platinums for something I'll likely upgrade this year.

You can be sure that I will be venturing into a new loop in a new exciting case with the launch of skylake. I appreciate your time for checking out my rig.

 

Thanks.

That better be a 4770K.

What size rad is that in the front?

[Gunther78]

i think that it is a 2x140mm 

I'm very curious because I'm hoping to pull something similar off with my build. I want to make sure a 280 will fit in the front with a 240 at the bottom before I make the purchase.

So you put watercooling on your watercooling loop to cool it even more? just kidding looks like a well executed loop

You cannot install the thick radiator natively with a bottom radiator so I used some of the holes in the front provided to support it using only 4 Radiator screws instead of 8. That's why the 120's that I'm using as intake are not blowing through the radiator. I would have liked to use the very top holes of the front to put the rad right up against the 5.25 bay so I would have clearance for fans at the bottom but it wasn't meant to be. It's ok though I'll likely be on this same loop until skylake which by that time I'll hopefully be able do something super awesome and be featured like many of the caselabs hard tube builds.

Not bad! Ever try to make angled loops so the lines don't look bent? Makes it look that much better. REALLY like it, just a suggestion.
