That's really nice, I'm planning on doing a Define S water cooled build with the same color scheme basically but with a different CPU. How was motherboard clearance on the top with the Rad? How is the pump doing? I'm thinking of putting In a similar res + pump combo and I'm wondering whether it's enough to power the whole loop  

Hi, thanks

There isn´t much clearance, you have to mount the motherboard before the radiator, otherwise it will not fit in. The pump is doing pretty good, but I recommend getting a good controller such as an Aquaero 5 LT because when it is running directly from the power supply, it is running very fast and you get bubbles inside the resevoir and it also adds unnecessary loudness (but it is not that loud actually).

mini ITX watercooling with a k|ngp|n 980 Ti in it.  Challenging but fun.  Enjoy!

This build makes me feel funny in the trouser department... The only word I can use to describe it is "tight"

Update, now with a watercooled Fury

What kind of temps do u get with the watercooling and the sprinkler on lol

[P4LL3R]

While gaming the GPU has around 42°C and the CPU 55°C. But i keep the fan-speed low, so it´s pretty silent. I could get better temps with faster fan-speeds, but silence was one of my main reasons for a watercooling.

My first water cooled build, should have planned the tubing and order better and almost ran out, and my GPU block leaked (the block itself) but it works.  I also was off on my radiator clearance by like 10mm so the fans are on top of my case.

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master V6 GT (missing one fan)

Motherboard: ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming

Lanning with this thing is a B*tch! 

This is my first time water cooling, especially with the hard tube I felt it had to be perfect, 9 bends total, 5 in rad to CPU. Unfortunately my time frame did not allow me to order the Case Labs case I wanted, but have very few issues with 900D.

Any public input is appreciated, comments & suggestions. Some things I hope to have decided on and do are, A custom mid plate, Lighting to accentuate the Block, Pump, and Res, Possibly UV for cables if I like the colour, Adding 950 Pro NVMe, Showing off 850 Pros, and choosing the right Fan Controller.

Thanks so much for your input already! I just started a Twitch, Twitch.tv/JklNChill You can follow me and find me other places from there

Well my new plan failed. I was hoping I could get it to work. May give it another go with some different rads or switch to my core x9. 

 

Crappy pic I know but I was pissed

Thats so awesome.

 

Have you considered m.2 ssd?  I think your board supports pcie 3.0 x4 via m.2 interface.  

 

Anecdotally, booting from pcie might be faster than sata.

 

Caselab cases are so awesome.  Def worth getting.

Recently reworked the tubing to insert a radiator between each component.  Next week, ill start sleeving cables.

Will also change LEDs to red.

Built this back in January and figured I should post a pic of it here too. I will be redoing everything sometime in the next couple of months as I'm switching up a few things including the rads as they just aren't thick enough to handle the load I put on them.

 

[Limecat86]

Made the switch to hardline. Also replaced the Phobya Flexlight with Darkside rigid ones. Now I'm still pondering if I should add Mayhems UV dye...

Not near as good as some of the others posted here.  But here is the most recent update to my build.   Fianlly happy with everything!  

 

I did want to do an EK FC Bridge however they don't seem to make a 2 way SLI bridge for 4 card spacing.  So I ended up using standard fittings.  

 

I am not 100% happy with the bend coming out of my CPU back and into the top Rad.   There is a slight bulge on the first bend as you can see in one of the photos.  However it was the best I was able to get and finally gave up on wasting tubing.
