    Girls and lads, it is finally done! I can't come up with a matching name for it. How should I call my system? Any suggestions?

    I will upload some high quality photos over the next days. Everything seems to be working just fine... Isn't she a beauty? ?

    Some progress has been made today! Getting another radiator into this case was such a pain in the ... I had to modify the case and remove the original fan mounting bracket in the top and build an "ultra slim" version of it in order to fit the XSPC Ultra Slim 360mm crossflow radiator among with the 120x15mm Silverstone fans.. 1mm of clearance! Success!? There arent' many builds with this motherboard out there and the Lian Li PC-O11 WXC isn't officially compatible with this motherboard. Though I think it's working out rather well this far.

    5 O-rings ? Probably the most crucial part for my water cooling loop ?

    Finally... The yellow one is different to the other one. I built this one in 2017. It was based on an i7 6700 and RX 480 8GB GPU This one was built last year using the Ryzen R5 2600X and a Vega 56 Nano GPU. This build wouldn't have been possible without the Bykski GPU waterblock. It is a very low volume part and back then I just couldn't find another brand producing a Vega Nano water block. Sooo.. ?

    However, the red PC was my first hard tube build and I was scared of bending the pipes, so I did all the angles with angled fittings and so on. The fittings and rotational parts were all off of AliEpxress, that was back in 2015 ?

    I will try to upload some more pictures later. I get the message " you're only allowed to upload 20MB "...

    When it comes to watercooling I usually go for a mix of well known brands and parts off of AliExpress. Radiators from XSPC, EKWB, Alphacool and Barrow are usually rather good quality. I wouldn't cheap out on them. Pumps: I get them off of AliExpress. Barrow and Bykski are great brands with actually amazing quality products. You can find good D5-pumps with complete reservoir-kits Waterblocks: I got mine now with the deal of the motherboard and CPU and it was really cheap. But usually I'd go for Barrow or Bykski! Fittings, extenders, rotational parts etc.: No question! I'd go AliExpress all day every day. I found the brands I would usually go with and I've built multiple water cooled systems with them. No fitting has ever leaked yet! Hope it will stay like that ? Tubing: Yep, AliExpress! Now, I know it might be very unpopular to go with AliExpress parts on water cooling. But I usually don't give much about opinions solely made by assumptions. You've got to test them out in order to make a real defferentiated verdict on them. To underline this quote I'd like to show you some of the builds I've made by using mostly parts off of AliExpress.

    I've already spent multiple hours of work into my build since my last post but progress can't be really seen yet. I'm very picky when it comes to cables and how they look. So I started modding the HD-Audio cable and Power-Button cable. I also "fabricated" the cabling for my white LED strips. Als the PWM pump-header got some nice sleeving ?

    I received a "very nice" package today ??
  14. Cocco93
    I won't tell you much on that aspect of the build. But the tubing will be something I haven't done before ?

    The W3175X is totally overkill for my needs. I only bought it because of its price and "status" ? I plan on overclocking it on its individual cores. I was thinking about something around these settings: 8 cores to 4.7Ghz + (really depends on the heat output) 16 cores to 4.2Ghz 28 cores to maybe 4Ghz, nothing more I will also play around with the Mesh-Settings and will at least try to get it to 3200Mhz. I'll have 2 360mm radiators in my system. Thankfully the RX 5700XT doesn't put out a lot of heat.
