I finished all tubes and changed the connection from the pump to the rad in the front.
 
 
Before running the first test I polished the cpu block a bit. It's not perfect, but still alot better than before.
  
 
After that I tested the loop for a few hours without leaks so far. I'll continue tomorrow , but so far it looks good. Also added some dye.

Got some new pictures for you .
 
Finished drilling all holes for the pass-through fittings, pump and reservoir. Took quite some time to measure everything out so it will fit. Really liked the drilling template EKWB shipped with the pump mount.
 
     
 
Then it was time to start doing my first bends. Nothing special, they're all just single or double 90° bends. So far I like the results, only the front ( connection from pump to radiator and drain valve) doesn't convince me 100%, but I haven't found a better solution so far.
 
   
 
 
Also did some details like removing the ugly stickers from the ram and cutting two cable holes in the case for the SSDs (painted the cut edge later on)
 
 
 
I hope I can finish the remaining bends tomorrow and start leak testing

Most of the cables are now sleeved. Only one SATA power cable and the front i/o cables still need to be done.
 
I didn't took many photos of the actual sleeving process, because it's rather monotone and pretty much the same thing over and over again, but here are a few.
 
  
 
 
All cables together. For the 24-Pin I only made an extension, becuase I didn't want to open the PSU. All the other cables are sleeved right up to the power supply. The double molex cable was propably the most annoying one, everything else was relatively easy and you got better and faster with every cable you did.
 
 
 
 
A closer look at the 24-Pin

nice!!

It looks amazing. Makes me really want to finish my build.

Today I'm gonna start sleeving the important cables. To get started I already sleeved all the Sata data cables yesterday and I'm happy about the quality of the sleeve as well as my work .
 
For the 24-pin and both 8-pin cables I'm using the following design
  
 
 
Further I was able to fit the backplate back onto the graphics card with some longer screws. Still have to remove those ugly stickers, but I think it's already looking better.
 

 
 
I replaced all green o-rings of the fittings with black ones and used some pipe cleaners to visualize the layout of the loop a bit better.

I love your photo shoot! Very creative.

Looks great! Haven't heard of Liquid Extasy before tho. You should update 1st post too now that you have the block on hand.

Today I got a big package from Gosumodz

The crimping tool is really nice

The cnc milled case feet

Here are the milling bits

 
The Proxxon with the router addon attached

 
After cutting the plexi to the right size I milled the notch on a leftover piece
 
 
LEDs fit nicely
 
 
Here's the notch on the "real" piece of plexi 

 
Removed the protective film and washed it to get rid of dirt from grinding and so on
 
 
After that I wrapped the top surface
  
 
And now in action together with LEDs
  

Awww yess , look what was in the mail today:

 
I was waiting quite some time for it, but the waterblock is finally here.
To fit the backplate back on I propably need some longer screws, but I'm gonna solve that the next couple days.
Later I'm gonna run a leak test to see if everything is ok and working.
I think I'll install the new case feet too.
Now that I have every component, I can start planning my loop more precisely and measure every tubing run between components.

On one side of the pump top I used 600 (to get rid of some deeper scratches), 1000, 2000. I would have used 1500 in between but my local store didn't have that. For the other sides I'm gonna start with 1000.

So you guys propably thought this build is dead... but it's not .
I'm still missing the gpu block, but it should arrive soon, just like my sleeving equipment (if you got some suggestions for sleeving patterns let me know ).
Today I drained my old loop, it was a bit of a hassle because I didn't have a drain valve, but in the end everything was fine. No problems with gunk or something else. CPU block almost looks like new and those few spots that were visible, were easily removed with nevr dull.
This week I also got some packages with pass-through fittings and some tools like the monsoon bending kit .
