I've been playing around a lot with my loop lately, experimenting with colours and such. Also decided to put the CPU block in parallel with the GPU blocks.
 
This is how it ended up and I really love how great it looks. Although my CPU has significant less flow now, temps are still acceptable.

It is looking great!

Another dodgy rig of mine, "The Toxic Tower of not much Power".
 
Temps stay under 70C (GPU/CPU) all day use. with no radiator just single fan cooling reservoir from beneath. This was designed to be silent, it did not need water cooling whatsoever as it's old gear at standard clocks (for now), I built this as a Rocket League machine plus a place to put my upcycled tech.

1TB 7200RPM 
2x1TB 5400 RAID 0
 
Nearly everything above was secondhand or recycled for this build.

Here's some pictures of the build progress. I'm debating on where I want to mount the reservoir and pump. I'm thinking in the secondary chamber on the case, for noise isolation and keeping the main chamber from looking cluttered.



Ordered some more cable combs for the two on the GPU. Though I might sell the 1080's and upgrade to 1080 Ti's, though that's not 100% yet. Already sinking enough money into this build, don't need to put in more really

I've started messing with the glass tubing, including bending and frosting it for the light dispersion when the build lights are on. The glass panels should be done in a week or two, and I'm going to have my two radiators, some case panels, and some internal parts, all cerakoted in a few days so that they match the silver finish of the RAM, monoblock, cable-clips, and SLI bridge.

AMD FX-8350 at 4.8Ghz - can do a 5.2Ghz validation http://valid.x86.fr/zywe8s

For cooling:
EKWB Supremacy MX
BYKSKI RX480 fullcover block
Magicool 360 rad in front
Magicool 240 rad in top
Arctic cooling F12 on front rad & rear exhaust + Silverstone 15mm fans on top rad
Magicool Pump/res combo (dead silent to my surprise when on 12v)
Bad tubing runs & cable management

Helle here is my RIG
Gigabyte x99 extreme Gaming Mainboard
Intel i7 6850K @ 5 Ghz
2 EVGA GTX 1080 SC with Waterblock from Aquacomputer ( Germany ) within active cooled backplate. 2200 Mhz GPU and 5500 Mhz Memory
Pump is an Aquacomputer aquastream ultimate
as radiator i use two selfmade steal spirals and an industrial radiator with 3 be quiet 140mm volume optimated fans
my reservoir is an 20L Airtank.
fittings ad piping is normally used for pneumatics.
 
i know the cable management is a mess but may case is not made to have a look inside ^^
 
after 8 hours of playing For Honor in Ultra Settings with 4K resoulution water temperature is at 32°C and i had a max GPU Core temp of 40°C on full load and CPU stays at 35°C
 

My old 900D Waterloop - multiple versions



 
This is the worst version by far

 
And saved the best for last - My current Caselabs SMA8 Build.

That should be fine.  Just something to neutralize the acids from the vinegar.  If you mix it well there shouldn't be any solids left in the water

Okay, that is pretty freaking great. I always love companies with good customer support, as in this day and age not all comps provide that.

Biggest thing for me is they are transferable.  I bought a 1080Ti used and still have a 3 year warranty with EVGA like I bought it new.  Also they don't care if you remove the cooler for waterblock install and they're generally known for having really good customer service.

I upgrade SOME parts every 6 months or so.  Primarily GPU.  Been rocking the 4790k for a couple years now, she's still pushing hard and showing no signs of stopping.  
 
I do upgrade my loop more often than that though, because I'm addicted

Meanwhile after some problem with the expedition and the customs that had lost the parcel, what I needed to do was continue to continue Mod. 
 

Delidded CPU's aren't bad, I popped the top on mine and I'm loving it, but there has been a huge uptick in the amount of unexperienced people trying to delid since there are now tools that make it very easy.  I'd be very careful to make sure you aren't buying one that has been superglued back together or been fried due to poor liquid metal TIM application or something like that. 
 
Also Thread moved to CPU's Motherboards and Memory

I think he's buying it already delidded though, ideally it would already be properly delidded and resealed but hard to tell.
 
See above^ but without knowing the exact situation I can't say.  If it was properly delidded (with good LM) and resealed then you should be able to use it just like a regular CPU.  
If it is sold without the IHS attached then you'll need to get a good liquid metal TIM (coolabs/conductanaut/phobyaLM) and apply to the die.  You'll then either have to reseal the IHS or just simply float it on the die while you clamp it down and be careful next time you take it out.

Looks like a solid build so far!  I can't say id change anything from what you listed.  

Hard tubing is pretty safe but i would say it's more likely to leak than soft tubing.  Depending on the fittings you use some hard tubing can leak with just a bit of movement of the tubing.  Soft tubing you would pretty much literally have to pull the tubing entirely off the fitting.

Okay sweet, thank you alot 

Mick (owner of Mayhem's) said it causes microfracturing of the tubing over time.  They are pretty good about in house testing
