The Water Cooling Gallery

[Overkilled]

Nice loops . I know its not the best looking but here is mine:

Finally finished (except for uv lights) quite happy for my 1st water build want to find a place to get some custom vynl art done to set it apart a little more, but at a later date, this cleaned me or if money for now

amazing job I'd love to do a loop like that in my luxe one day *sigh

How much did the loop cost? Pretty decent with the space you have!

thanks it was alot of work i put alot more money into this then i wanted to because i got extra tubing and fittings because i was not 100% sure how i was going to make my runs till after i got it all. so  i have alot of extra parts (good thing to because im going to move it all into a bigger custom made desk or a case).

$995.05 usd not counting fans, fluid, extensions, adapters, ext.

 

then more shipping then id like to try to find and add up since i order everything a little here and there. 

i used so little of the tubing and fittings i got so it was cover kill buy like $200. so i recommend doing more planing then i did so you dont end up with more parts then you really need. i now i have a small pile of fittings and tubing.

Thanks but compared to the others its not a big deal. And how much it costs? Dont know... Never added together, if i had to guess i would say its close to 1000€...

Specs:

• Core i5 4690k OC 4.2ghz
• Gigabyte GTX 970 OC 1485mhz
• Asrock Mobo
• 8gb DDR3 (corsair vengeance blue)
• 2x 480gb Corsair SSD 
• Case Corsair Air 240
• Thermaltake, Ring Fan's (blue) Pacific PT20 Pump/Res, Pacific W2 (blue inset)
• EK, GPU plexi block, acetel back plate, all fittings, soft tube (black) and blue coolant
• Fractal 240mm Rad from the Kelvin
• Phanteks PWM hub
• Cable mods Blue/Black Corsair RM cables

Thinking of going hard tubing soon and swapping out the Rad (although it works pretty well in this config)

might do some custom paint to when I do the tubing.

 

this was my first custom loop so just wanted to try it see how it all works and this is the family PC..

Already started on my next project in my main rig... Just waiting on G1 980Ti blocks

This is my first attempt at a custom loop. There's still some more cable management to do and i'm not happy with the pipes in/out of the CPU block so when I regain some enthusiasm for this I'll be draining the loop and re-doing those pipes.

 

 

 

 

 

Here's (to the best of my recollection) a list of all the parts.

Why? I think both is a first rate job .

Why? I think both is a first rate job .

Just in search of the impossible. The inlet to the CPU (from GPU) angles up and isn't 90 degrees. The outlet to the top rad bulges at the bend as it wasn't properly heated up.

 

Thanks for the kind words though

[jagdtigger]

You worry about that, if you don't "highlight" it i wouldn't notice it... On the other hand my first acrylic tubing was one crappy job :blush:  :

Unfortunately, He's the type of person to niggle at every little thing, I've come to learn this the hard way over the past 6 years or so.

Less QQ more PewPew. You know I'd sell Jen for a set up like this. You've done a fantastic job considering it's all from scratch and home built, bent, thrown and AAARGH at. *Pat on the back*

 

P.S - Don't WA Jen that last message.

Love IT 2x 980 ti NICE

[cakez]

Hey guys just wanted to share my PC. I put a lot of time and work and planning into this. It's almost done just awaiting a PSU cover and a custom GPU backplate. Also have a few more cables to sleeve.

here is the backplate I am awaiting.

-SNIP-

where did you get the custom back plate?

[Dimetime35c]

Let's see the loops everyone's got. I don't have a custom one just an AIO for now.

Lol didn't see the gallery for some of reason. Using my cell phone. But hey feel free to show of more;)

Does the spinning fan on a stock cooler count as a loop?

[Vellinious]

Started on my newest build.  It's close to being done.  I've got to get some acrylic cut yet for the shroud under the motherboard tray and the water channels, but that'll get done soon enough.  I'm inching my way toward it.  = )

The reservoirs are bitspower multi z 250s


The collection point for the reservoirs to go into the bitpower dual mod top


Once I get the acrylic water channels cut, glued together and leak tested, all the soft tubing goes away and will be replaced with hard lines.


The EK X99 EVO Supremacy...outstanding block.  Sitting atop a 5820k overclocked to 4.4ghz @ 1.285v using Thermal Grizzly paste


Toughest bend I did on this build so far....the rest should be cake, it SHOULD all be straight lines to the top of the case.


Love the bitspower mod tops


The whole rig


The EVGA 970FTWs with EK Nickel blocks


Temp sensors.  I have one for ambient temps, and one for loop temps before it goes to the radiator.


I still have a lot of work to do, but.....I got it together enough to use it while I finish up the rest of the machine work.  Got tired of browsing on my phone and a tablet.

i7 5820k 4.4ghz @ 1.285v
MSI X99A Sli Plus 
32GB Kingston Hyper X DDR4 3000
2 x EVGA GTX 970FTW
120GB Kingston Hyper X SSD
2 x 1TB Western Digital Black in RAID 0
A couple of D5 pumps, bitspower reservoirs, bitspower dual pump mod top, Monsoon fittings and hard line running through an MO RA3 420 with 4 x 230 Bitfenix Spectre Pro fans.

Made a few videos for my rig. After months and months of research, this is the outcome. Thank you Linus and many other Youtubers.

Please check out the 2 videos of my crossfire watercooled build and any comments would be appreciated .

Lol this made me chuckle, good one man!

 

Here's mine for now.

 

[brandishwar]

Recently moved to an external pump and reservoir mount. Next phase on this build is to actually move the radiators external as well -- and probably get rid of the southbridge cooler.

Here's mine untill I get my Z170 board and 6700k....

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S SICK DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S SICK DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks there are a few thing's i thought of after that i want to change  with the tube routing but it works really well and looks AMAZING!

[Vellinious]

Still working on mine....There will be acrylic in the top of the case with water channels in it.  Once I get the machining done and leak tested, I'll get it in and replace the rest of the soft tubing with acrylic.
