So here we go the chronological build of probably my most ambitious project of my pc building career. A full blown water cooled system featuring Lian Li O11 Dynamic "Der baurer" case. 

First phase to this will be the dry run build sorry I have horrible photography skills and only have a phone to take pics so apologies for the quality. 

The star is the Lian Li case that I have been happily awaiting for awhile now first off i didn't really need it. But boy is it a sexy case I couldn't resist sorry.  

The case is by far the easiest case to work in literally only a few screws everything else just pull up and out of the slots pretty simple. 

It was pretty obvious from the start that this case was meant for custom water cooling.

I know what your probably thinking am I a noob at this stuff. Yes I am but hey you got to start somewhere who knows maybe I might get brave enough to do this to my main rig but for now we are only doing this as a side job. 

Also I don't have a name for this build either its just a mishmash of parts I have sitting around some old some new. We could call it "der handicapped".

The components:

CPU

Ryzen 5 2600 6/12 3.80 GHZ (Auto Performance setting in bios) 

Memory

Team T-Force Night Hawk 16GB 3200 (working at 2933 auto timing) 

Motherboard

Asus Prime Pro X370 Motherboard (very stable board)

GPU

OEM Dell Rx 480 8 GB (I know I know its a pitiful card to water cool but I'm just starting out) 

PSU

EVGA B Stock 750 BQ Gold rated PSU (got from the EVGA graveyard) 

Case 

Lian Li O11 DYNAMIC " Der Baurer" (sexy)

Storage 

XPG SX6000 128GB M.2 PCIe NVMe

Coolant

Primochill Red Blood stuff (the blood of my enemies) 

CWCS

EK (I'll update as soon as I get the parts and stuff)

Builder

me in inexperienced water cooling noob who is trying to do this please be patient with me I'm very fragile 

Update 5/19/2018

Dry Run results were successful cpu and memory results were good and stable. I didn't try to go overboard with the CPU I left it set to auto performance for now using Ryzen balanced power settings. 

Pics of the dry run & case: https://imgur.com/a/fhfZX40

*note let me know of the picture quality it was mainly just featuring the case and the dry run was actually performed on test bench but all the components were installed inside of it later on.

This will be a continually updated post that will most likely go on for the rest of the summer or forever so hopefully people stick around and see the finish either good or bad. 

I'll update again once I acquire the parts from EK. Also I'll upload some more pics of all the case fans and the build inside the case. 

Lastly let me know if you want confirmed screen shots of the build like cpu z gpu z or benchmarks will be happy to include those if interested. 

To be continued.

Ultarbooks and many laptops are powered by Intel's U series CPUs which, beside this new 8th gen Intel CPU models, are dual core CPUs.

You would think there would be an identification for either a desktop or laptop that would be some useful info imo. 

dual core went up what?

cant wait for judgement day

so if a potato is turned into a french fry does it still identify as a potato or did it morph into another gender?

well the fe probably has the better silicon but has thermal limits so id say the fe with an after market cooler would be the best overclocker but most ppl aren't going to go through that process so zotac lol

did they hit you in the knee?

well i will buy one eventually

so are we onto intel flaws now. amd paid the germans to write some non technical white paper stating intel should be worth nothing now let your fears run wild lol

i cant remembear anything

i stole someones first name and added a sexual flair to it

What is everyone's preferences when it comes to liquid cooling coolants.

Should i just get distilled water?

Should i get this stuff? red blood stuff

I like the red blood stuff but not sure if its any good.

used market Green team: gtx 970, 980 maybe,780 and 780ti, 1060 maybe. The 970 is probably the best used card you can get for under 250 imo. Red team HD 7970, r9 280, r9 280x, r9 380, r9 380x, rx 580 or 570 depends i saw some on hardwareswap reddit but keep in mind those are miners cards so ouch.

I do miss that era.  

It was also the era of the fan site.  So many fan sites were up and they all had their booming online communities. There tons of Zelda, Final Fantasy, and other little gaming fan sites. I actually made a bunch of online friends (some real life friends too) from all the online communities I joined back in the day.   Fast forward to today, most of those sites are now gone.

oh no its made in italy

run jk yea looks cool never seen it in a spray bottle before

there's nothing more secure than a router password that i cant even remember set and forget

they should just call it scam.com

Powercolor HD 4890 1 GB

you won

single powerful card is always the better choice but idk how good the 2080 might be.

when you type in under 5 dollars you get a ton of stuff including rings, unicorns are real book, a big useful notepad, sexy clothing and sport watches

mom's credit card is probably involved ouch
