documnt

Finally got my loop completed today. Now...when I upgrade to a better case (still haven't decided which one) I'll be going for hard lines. 

I need to get around to finishing the log... but 2mins of hardware porn

Everything is finished.

Tried my hand at hard tubing. Was not as challenging as I thought. Also picked up a new case and some rads.
 

 

Note: I need to re-take these photos now that the coolant is 100% bubble free! I've also added sleeved black cable extensions for the gpu and motherboard so it looks a bit better.
 
This was my first try at hard tube water cooling. Before this I was using an NZXT h500 Vault Boy edition with a Corsair h115i RGB Platinum (280mm) for my CPU (great cooler by the way). Figured a bigger case would be more helpful (plus more radiators), so I chose the Lian Li O11 Razer edition.
 
Bitspower Leviathan 360XF & EK CoolStream PE 360 radiators, mostly EK fittings and about 5 from Bitspower. Tubing is a mix of Bitspower and EK 16mm OD. Front panel is from Bitspower - the Sedna O11 front (pwm). GPU > Leviathan > CPU > EK PE > water block. Idle temp for GPU and CPU is 33C and 37C with fluid temp of 30-31C. Under full load for 1.5-2 hours fluid temp is around 41-42 and GPU and CPU temps about 57C for both.
 
9700k, 2080 founders, maximus xi hero wifi (y'all can figure out the rest I'm sure), and Corsair LL120 RGB fans. fluid temp sensor is Bitspower Touchaqua (only shows fluid temp, not flow rate). The power plug is so much better than the huge one from the Thermaltake sensor that has flow rate as well.

Here is my aging fractal design R5. I recently stuffed another 240mm in the bottom of the case. It didnt require much modification. I just had to slide the fwd 240mm up about an inch and secure it with 4 screws instead of 8.
 
The clearance from bottom rad to psu is made possible because the fans are under the rad. I added a picture of this.

Copied and pasted the specs from Instagram so I didn't have to type it again. Wiring isn't completed at this time. Hooked it up quick to run some benchmarks and ensure everything was working properly. Thanks all!

I welcome criticism and review!

Guys for most users getting some software that writes multiple zeros over them is enough, on the other hand if you're really paranoid, do what I do and stick them in your sock draw.

Usually motherboards support a boot option like F8/F12 where you can specify the drive you want to boot from.

In the process of upgrading all the hardware but this is wht it looked like a few weeks ago.

And a fully parallel system layout for fun...
 

1 amp is the average power to a motherboard header. I have up to 3 fans running off each of mine as they are 0.32A fans. I cheaped out and didn't get a fan controller.

Hi all, here are pics of my old system... Which I just finally finished.  Now on to my Ryzen, hopefully it doesn't take 3 years to finish.

This is honestly the most beautyful build I've ever seen, that zmt tubing looks awesome, and the amount of red is just perfect  Could you post a pic from other angles? I would be interested how/where could you mount your res.
 
edit: I've since found the build log for this aweesome build: http://www.overclock.net/t/1594638/build-log-titanium-red-corsair-carbide-540

Posted in the build section but here's the latest system (built to produce less heat in my office)--
 
Intel 8700k (EKWB Supremacy MX block)
MSI Z370M Pro Gaming
MSI 1080 Ti 'aero' (EKWB FC nickel + acetal block + backplate)
32GB Corsair Dominator 3000
2x Samsung 960 Pro 1TB
EKWB Coolstream 240mm and 120mm radiators
EKWB XRES DDC 3.1 MX pump+res
4x Gentle Typhoon 1450rpm, 1x 1850rpm

Full custom solution on my friend's Threadripper 1920x and GTX 1080 build, using the MSI Seahawk EK variant of the card. 
 

 
 

 
 

Finally finished the Hard Tubing...  Still bleeding the air out though.  Also an after thought I have only used bay reservoirs up till now so this is my first internal reservoir so the first change I am making is to add a Flow meter.  If I had piped the return flow into the top of the res probably would have seen some water motion but with this setup you can't really tell its running other than the temps.  Oh second after thought when I add the flow meter also add a bleed valve at the top of the loop currently this thing is impossible to drain.

Dude that is insane and extra clean. Didn't even know you could dual cpu a system lol. Guessing you do a lot of processor heavy stuff.
