Fraken-waterloop?

Hey guys!

So I created a "monster" watercooling build, with some rigs from ThermalTake.. which was a terrible idea, but I did it anyway.

I was wondering if it could be a fun project to kinda show off all my stupidity in this build, and how I all ghetto rigged it.

I wanna push out also that, I DID NOT USE ANY WATERCOOLING PARTS BESIDES THE 2 THERMALTAKE AIO's.

I just wanna hear if its even worth me taking some photos of it and such..

 

Sincerely, Jake!

Ok, I'll take some nice photo's soon, HOWEVER my GPU is currently in MSI RMA, so I'm going to be taking photos without it. I'll try to put a card in as a replacement*

 

I'll show off even more pictures when my GPU gets back.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE NO WATERCOOLING PARTS ACCEPT THE TWO THERMALTAKE WATER 3.0 PREFORMANCE AND INSANE

Just do it,  I'd be interested in it.

Here is the loop, I'm holding the GPU waterblock where it would be, sadly MSI GPU RMA is taking forever.

Here is the way I sealed my res, which is a bottle with two hardware style copper fittings put into it, sealed with silicon gasket maker

Just a side note if you plan to keep it for the long term and not just for benchmarking or testing make sure you have a compatible fluid in that loop since the rad thermaltake uses is aluminum and you have a copper blocks it will cause galvanic corrosion on your blocks without the proper fluid.

The fluid already has 25% corrosion inhibitor, I'm not stupid lol.

And actually the thermaltake blocks are copper which are 25nm plated with aluminum, So it should be fine even with my new SHARPIE DYE fluid.

Why are you referring to it as GeForce? .

The only GPU I can think of that is $600-$700 is the 980Ti.
