Slow moving, but finally got my acrylic back plate order in and I was told I should be able to collect it on Monday.
Day Two: Mounting the Water Blocks
1) Mounting the EK Full Cover Water Blocks for my MSI GTX 970 TF5


2) Mounting the EK Supremacy EVO Full Nickel Water Block

To be honest, I have lost track of how much I've spent.
Perhaps after I've completed the build.
Till then...

Hey guys and girls,
 
​So after many years of building and tinkering around with PCs i've decided to jump right in the deep end and build my first water-cooled Pc.
 
Here are the specs:
 
CPU: i7 5820k
M/B: Asus x99 deluxe
RAM: Corsair LPX DDR4 2800 16gb
Graphics: 2x GTX 980 in sli 
Case: Corsair 900D
PSU: Corsair AXi 1200watt with cablemod custom sleeving
Fans: Green Bitfenix Spectre Pro
SSD: 2x samsung 840 pro 512gb (from old build) 
HDD: WD 2tb 
Cooling: full custom loop with ek water blocks and acrylic tube
 
Monitor: Asus rog swift
K/B: Corsair K95 RGB
 
 
 
The build will be a green and black theme.
 
I will post pics of parts once i receive them.
 
 
 
 
 

To be honest, I have lost track of how much I've spent.
Perhaps after I've completed the build.

I underestimated how hard it was to bend the PETG tubing and getting the right angle ...
To make factors even worse, I only brought four 36ft tubing so I am limited to the amount of failure I have...
And I had no other fittings that would have made the job much easier...
I barely got this tubing job done with the amount of failures I had...
 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh you and your Game Of Thrones craziness , you should have called her : Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen , The Firest of Her Name , The Unburnt , Queen Of Meeren , Queen Of The Andals and the Rhoyvnar and the First Men , Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea , Breaker Of Chains and Mother of Dragons

Yes, the higher RPM fans usually go on the thicker radiators.  Always want to get the most air through your radiators.
 
Not sure if there will be a performance difference between using the 1850 or 2200 on either of the radiators though.  The fans push a lot of air and the fin density isn't that high so I don't think you need to run those fans at maximum.
 
Planning on getting the Furious Vardars just because they are black and hoping they can run at lower RPMs without a problem.  Using the same 60mm radiator also.

Alright so I broke my record again!

Alright so I did a softmod to disable ANY sort of throttling using the 47 CLK states in the vbios.

Thanks.
I was initially thinking of sending my case to get powder coated to white, but decided against it since the motherboard pcb is black as well.
 
I'm just doing some minor "modifications" to the case itself, but the only thing I'm remotely going to be paint are some  spare silver PCIe slot bracket covers I bought to matt black.
 
The 900D's stock PCIe slot bracket covers have too many holes for my liking. (Stock Cover Image in Spoiler)

Introduction   Project Stormborn is my first Build Log and venture into the world of custom PC Water-Cooling.

I'm going for Pictorial Build log, hence this log will be image heavy.   Contents PC Component List Water Cooling Parts List Case Mod

great job Brandon! really well presented and it is great to see the other members of the LMG to host/co-host from time to time.

This was definetly one of better "normal" videos on main channel. Intro was somewhat classic humoristic style, followed by really well made b-roll sequence (pun). Rest was stuff that I'm not that interested about and weakpoints are covered by others already. But its still more interesting and fun to watch compared to Pono review just earlier.

Brandon did great. Camera stuff would be a good addition to your videos. Glad to see the sandisk I bought 2 days ago was the correct choice.

I think Brandon did a great job and I would love to see more camera videos, both tech and tips.

Brandon is pretty good, with some practice he will be great

Agreed. 
 
Loved the cinmetaography discussion and Hobbits during Wan Show
and this
Definetly looking forward to more of such content. Cameras, Lens, difference in bit rates etc, also stuff like Video Effects/rendering (From edzel) etc

awesome.
 
Looking forward for more Brandon and video-graphy related content.
