  1. Different CPU block and I would do some 90 degree bends instead of that long diangonal tube. Also, I would trim up or redo the vertical one coming/going to the res, it's at an angle.
  2. These are terrible pics. I didn't realize the camera on my phone was so bad. But I am proud of this regardless so I wanted to share it. I particularly like using the tubes on the right as a design/decorative element. I wanted to keep everything very minimal so I packed all the cooling gear in the space behind those tubes. The "room" as I call it was already there as part of the case. I used some 6mm plexi to make the walls solid for the pass throughs. It was no easy task getting all of that in an approximately 4.5" x 6" space. it took me 3 tries to get something I was happy with. I look forward to your feedback. Specs: CPU: Ryzen 7 1700x oc to 4.1 MOBO: Asus Crosshair VI WiFi RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16g DDR4 3000 GPU: EVGA 950 SSC Case: Jonsbo C4 Water Block: EKWB Supremacy Fittings: EKWB Tubing: EKWB (hand-done satin, black fluid made with food dye in distilled water) Rad: EKWB Coolstream SE 120 Pump/Res: Enermax Neochanger PSU: EVGA 650 BQ SSD: Toshiba 840 EVO 128G HD: Toshiba 500G I'm not a gamer, this is my workstation. So although I would love to have a 1080ti or a 1070ti, I couldn't justify spending the money. A custom loop was also unnecessary.....but very necessary, if you catch my drift. Being a designer, aesthetics are everything lol. That being the case you would think I would at least paint that angle aluminum I used to mount the rad (and a better solution as well lol)...but most of the time nobody is gonna see it so f*** it. I think that's about it. Oh, ignore that rat's nest. Proper cable management was done after the pics. Thanks for taking a look.
  3. No, I have not cleaned it yet. Since it's major surgery to drain the loop, etc, just to pull it, I figured I would get some feedback frist. I was going to use alcohol.
  4. It does not unfortunately.
  5. You must have read my thread before I edited it. The glass was off and best I can tell the only critical component that took incoming fire was the back of the motherboard. Thank you in advance for you help.
  6. It's the lighting making that beautifully hand done satin tubing look different colors. In real life they all look like the tubes running to and from the CPU.
  7. Thank you. Reset to factory then OC back to 4.1, not pushing 4.2 again. It ran fine for a few days before becoming unstable. I wonder what changed. Thank you and everyone for the advice.
  8. So I had a bit of a mishap. Bowl of cereal fell to the ground and splashed milk everywhere, most importantly all over the back of my new build (see attached pic) which, of course, just happened to have the back glass off of it. Wouldn't boot that day nor today, about a week since the incident. My first assumptiom is something on the Mobo is being shorted out bc of the milk all over it so my first course of action is to remove it and clean it and see if my assumption is true. But beyond that I have no idea what else to try before trying a new Mobo and I would appreciate some suggestions. It's a Crosshair Hero VI and all the board LED's light up and it even does the breathing routine i have set in the bios for when the power is off. But when I press the power button that's it. The pump doesn't come on, the fans on the GPU don't spin ..no life. Thank you in advance. Finding out it's bricked will only be marginally painful as I was looking to do another build with ITX or mATX in one of those Metallic Gear cases anyway.
  9. Will do. If the system is still unstable should I proceed with my aforementioned plan of action? Thanks for you reply.
  10. No sooner did I post on the Asus YouTube Overclocking Ryzen video that I had hit the silicon lottery running an R7 1700x at 4.2ghz on 1.315 volts and ram at ddr4-3000 than I brainfarted and didn't plug in my pump. As the smell of burning electronics filled the air I realized in a panic what was happening and shut it all down. Upon inspection I realized the CPU and board were not cooked and luckily it was just my data drive (read: local copy of DropBox). Unfortunately my joy was short lived as I am now having intermittent system freezes. I wanted to ask what the procedure for trying to determine exactly what is failing. I assume it's either ram or Mobo or CPU or a combo. Do I start with the RAM first? I figured I would do the following:. Buy and test new ram. If system still hangs, return ram and get a different CPU. If problems still persist then replace the Mobo and hopefully the d CPU is still good. Does this sound about right to start the troubleshooting process? Thanks
