    Thanks!
     
    The case kind of forced that weird neon color scheme. I just had to refill the loop after changing the pump and the color of the liquid is different now. It turned pale inside the loop before, and now it has a little more of a defined green/blue.
     
    Also it runs like 10 degrees cooler. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, faulty pump aside.

    So a while back, while I was really high, I ordered the s340 Elite Hyperbeast case and have been using it to house my regular normal air cooled build. It had a 5930k and two 980s. I thought that a plain air cooled almost all black build was not doing the case any justice though. So I planned out this build/upgrade to what I currently had and upgraded to an EVGA 1080ti SC in the process. Overall I spent about 20 hours just adding the watercooling (and probably another 3 hours on getting the LEDs to fit and to get the cablemod cables to look half decent).
     
    There are 1-2 wonky bends in the end, but these I can fix later (especially since I only used 1/4 of my liquid). I'm pretty happy with how it came out! The case itself has a pink and orange primary color palette on the side of the case with a teal tertiary color, so I tried to make a similar teal the primary on the inside.
     
    Quick note; I haven't overclocked anything yet, so any components I list will be running at stock. I plan on doing it later, but I only have time to make this post right now. Anyway down to the nitty gritty:
     
    CPU: i7-5930k.
    GPU: EVGA 1080ti SC.
    RAM: 32 GB of Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz DDR4 Memory.
    MB: Asus ROG Strix x99 Gaming (mainly bought for the RGB support).
    Power: Oh god I can't remember. I got it way before the rest of the PC...I think it's an EVGA 850 watt 80+ Gold power supply.
    Storage: one 1tb 850 EVO SSD, two 2tb mechanical 7200rpm drives, one 512 GB M.2 drive that holds the OS.
    Radiators: one 120mm XSPC radiator, and one 240 XSPC radiator.
    Fans: 3 Be Quiet! BL046 Pure Wings 120mm fans.
    Reservoir: XSPC X4 Photon 170 Reservoir/Pump Combo
    Fittings: PrimoChill Rigid Revolver Compression Fitting - Anodized Orange
    GPU Block: EK GeForce GTX FE Copper/Plexi Water Block - Acetal
    CPU Block: EK-SUPREMACY EVO - Acetal
    Liquid: PrimoChill True Infused, both Teal and UV Blue. Looks more green in person.
    Extras: Got some pink and orange cablemod cables, as well as pink and orange thumbscrews for the back.
     
    I think that's everything? Anyway, here it is! Please don't mind those one or two wonky bends, it's bugging the hell out of me, but honestly I don't want to change it until I have to do something else to the build.

    The multi plane ones are tough.  I had to redo one of mine like three times before it came out right.  What made my tricky was the fact I wanted it to loop over another tube.

    Looks very good. Only 2 suggestions I would make. 1, my OCD is screaming at the bends from the CPU to Radiator and how nonparallel it is with the GPU lines. 2nd, run a 2nd dedicated PCIe power plug to your GPU. There is actual performance loss with running a pig tail like you have. Other than that, great build.

    Do you have a budget?
     
    Although all your other components are pretty good, your power supply kind of limits you to either newer cards or lower end cards.
     
    I'm no expert, and you may actually be fine, but it's possible that a higher-end card from a few generations ago might be too much for a 500w power supply.
     
    also, I'm curious as to why you have 7gb of ram. They usually come in multiples of 2 or 4.
