Everything is finished.

Yes but then said bought new cpu and motherboard afterwards, missed it.
 
OP: I recommend trying each RAM module at a time.

You could go on another working computer and make a bootable copy of Memtest then scan the memory modules.
 
Also to fix wifi issue, manually load a newer driver for the Intel Wireless-AC 9260 device (which is on your board) from a second USB drive.
Link if you need it. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000017246/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking.html
Make sure you get all other drivers and bios updates from asus and install.
 

Do you read OP post? His third word is your answer.
 
OP: check your hardware twice, try just single ram stick, disable any oc etc.
 
If you have your old installation, try to boot it just for made some tests (like stability test, temperatures etc).

The project is finished, so I decided to post some pictures here
 

Witcher keycap finally came yesterday to complete the rig lol

 

Thanks, man.
And here's the pump hiding,

This looks amazing! where is the Pump though?

Everything is finished.

Have you ever seen a frosted hard tubing build? Looks so much better (at least for me) than a glossy hard tubes RGB/colored fluid builds. Here's an example I found on pinterest

i have a system... well pair of systems, my main rig and a file server, both watercooled but using a single MO-RA 360 rad

both have a d5 pump and hardline tubing with a quick connect to a distribution manifold to remove from the modified server rack

the server has 12 wd 2tb enterprise drives, 3 120gb kingston ssds for cache and another for windows server 2016, its based on a asrock z87 oc formula sporting an intel 4790 non-k 4.0ghz, and 32gb of ram and a 1000w corsair power supply

the main rig is much the same, based on a asrock z87 oc formula sporting an intel 4790k this time. upped to 4.6ghz, and 32gb of ram but with 2 4tb WD reds and a 500gb samsung ssd and a 750w corasir powersupply and a MSI gtx 1050

the one thing i did though is i put all my networking in a 2u case, modem router and a switch and did some minor programming with and arduino so i can power cycle it all with the push of a single button

and all of that barely sips power from the 1.5 kw APC UPS i pieced back together

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.

Just finished building< I wish I could show the mess in the back, no clue where to start.

This is my first hard-tube installation. Prior to this I'd always used AIOs, going to the Swiftech H240X, then H240X2 Prestige where I dabbled by replacing the tubing and adding in another radiator. Finally took the plunge to do a proper build.
 
As you might imagine, planning to finish up with some fan brand 'improvements' in the near future.
 


 

Hmmm, I think, I see here is too much of beautiful and accurate high end builds. Let me spice this forum thread with something more on budget side.
Remember this thing?


This was called "Ziptie abomination ", I posted it in January in this thread.
 
Well, we can say that this Pokemon has evolved. Let me introduce to you "Performance over style":

It's same case and mostly same components as in first build. But I like when components in case fill as much space, as possible, and i also like more compact builds, so:
1. I maked case shorter about 8 cm (little bit more than 3 inches).
2. All hard drive and optical drive baskets have been removed, front portion of case was made to mount on it 360 rad with fans.
3. Plus i mounted some brackets in coners (they behind rad on pictures, you can't see them) for improving rigidity (not enought, as I fugured it out later).
4. Small HDD basket was salvaged from donor case (btw, Inwin in early 2000s was making very sturdy cases, i will use frame from my donor for my next mod/build) and mounted directly to top of the case with roofing screws (at least it removable ).
5. Front panel was made from old one by removing center part and replacing it with galvanized mesh for plastering, power button was replaced and relocated on top center part of panel. Four neodymium magnets was mounted with hot glue in coners of panel to make it easy to install/remove from a case (but now front panel can't be used like a grip point).
6. My main mistake for this build was to trust LTT video about plasti dip (joke). I was on very strict budget, and all this work, from start to finish, i did in my rental room, where i live. So, at that time i considered plasti dip because it didn't need very heavy surface preparation, primer and also dries very fast. Also overspray is less of a problem just because after drying out coating turning into thin film, that can be peeled off very easily from pretty much any surface. But I had enough money for only two cans of "paint", ant this is not enough. Layer is to thin, it rips and peels off after any not very gentle touch, many edge surfaces was damaged in assembly process, even with me trying to be as careful as possible. End result is pretty only when you look at it from a distance, but for me it still good enough.
 
From last time i acquired some additional parts, like angle fittings (45s and 90s), proper reservoir and  better quality tube. For coolant additive i used ethylene glycol based automotive coolant premix (from which water have this light pink color), not very big amount, but enough for corrosion and bacteria growth resistance.
Also, it happens that my B350 PC Mate has RGB header, so i ordered 2 meters of rgb strip to mask defects with some bright lights. I also bought usb 3.0/ audio-mic combo for front panel, but after mounting of rad and fans there was no space to mount it, even without hiding it.
1060 was swapped for 2060, 120 Adata "NVME" ssd was changed for WD 500gb sata model.To cool vrm and memory on graphics card I made "custom" adaptor from standard fan header to smaller one, that was for stock graphics card fans. Rods and springs for stand off mount for cooling fan was salvaged from old AM2 cpu cooler mount.
 
Case is kinda on a flimsy side, but with components in it rigidity slightly improves. Paint Job is kinda trashy, but it good enough if you dont look at it very picky. Also, i decided to not make acrylic side panel and just leave case open, because acrylic is scrach magnet, and my plans to cover it with automotive clear armor film happend to be quite expensive.
 
Overall, lessons learned, experience is gained, even some good tools acquired in a process. Starting goal to fix previous mistakes and also make system more compact and neat is completed.  Next step will be after I upgrade to Zen 2.
 

 

Everyone is showing off their super duper fancy expensive rigs here so I thought I might mix it up a bit.
 
Say hello to my old gaming PC! (or, the parts at least)
 
It inhabits a neat Intel Core 2 Duo @2,4Ghz with 4 threads, My first ever graphics card, a GTX660ti (best choice of my life), ontop of a noname, whatever motherboard.
Powered by a Thermaltake Berlin 630W, which has all leftover cables simply cut off - to make cable management easier ? and its fan replaced by a - also noname- fan from another power supply.
 
But here comes the best part!
 
Its cooled by a custom waterloop!
 
The Mainboard chipset has always been getting incredibly hot so that needed a cooler and the CPU?
 
How about a PELTIER module on it? Thats right.
 
The CPU is cooled with a peltier module, which in turn is cooled by a waterblock! What waterblock you may ask?
The kind you get when you go to amazon.com, type in "pc waterblock", sort cheapest first and select the one that looks most like it would actually maybe work.
 
The radiator is a 240mm, 30mm thick rad, aquired by the same technique, the pump is a simple small 12V pump, also from Amazon, and the tubing is some garden hose, which we actually sell in our shop (gardening center)
All of that glory is held down by a piece of wood, some zipties and a burned pencil, of course!
 
I did throw in a 18$ 120GB SSD just to spice it up as well.
Its running Linux Ubuntu (cause I didn't have a Windows licence on hand, want win 10 tho)
 
All of that is in my first Case, the Zalman Z11+ (don't buy it please)
 
 
TEMPS! PICS!
 
 
 
As you can see, the temps dropped drastically, from 42 degrees down to just 5 on the first core!
Unfortunately, the sensor seems to be only able to go down to 5 and 10 degrees for the 4 cores, since they have been staying down there, not fluctuating at all, for almost 20 minutes. So we might very well be in the negative digits here!
 
PS: No the water is not green, the tubing is, by standart
PPS: The rig to the left is my actual, proper gaming rig, soon (6 weeks) to be upgraded, will post pics here once finished as well And yes, the parts in there are proper, unlike this joke-rig ?
 

If u want to go that route i would get glass tubing.
 
being that glass tubings main detractor being you cant bend it without significant effort thus it requires fittings for bends. So if ur thinking u might want to go the route of fittings for bends, grab glass tubing, it will never cloud or degrade, is much more scratch resistant, and looks alot better.

I did my first build last month and used a combination of fittings for some and bends for others, if I had to do it again I would have used far more bends as I used a total of like 33 fittings including plugs and it ran the price up considerably and that included getting fittings on aliexpress. My whole loop ended up being over $1000 cad

Hi Guys.
 
Here is my first real attempt at water cooling with hard tubing.
Took a long time to finish and a lot of tries to get a point where I was satisfied with the result. Precision bends are pretty hard... ?
 
My build:
Cooler Master H500M Case
Intel I9 9900K
Asus Dual RTX 2080 OC8G
Asus Z390-H gaming motherboard
32GB g-Skill 3200Mhz Ram
Samsung 960 Evo boot drive
Kingston 480GB SSD
Samsung 120GB SSD
2 x 280mm radiators.
XSPC Photon 270 reservoir
Phobia DC12-220 pump
EKWB blocks on CPU and GPU.
 
 

Ok, this is my first hardline water-cooled build, personally, I think I did OK  - I've learnt a lot for next time but here it is (It looks Blue in the pics but in person it actually is White)
