So the loop goes : CPU->Pump-->240passive radiator->GPU->120+fan-->CPU I have done some tests . CPU: i57600k oc@45ghz ~1.270v offset -2 85c max around 77c with gpuz A bit hot , but I suspect the bubbles to have a role in this . GPU: Insane 60c :3 more tests to come .

Hello all, So I somehow effed up the SSD PSU cable and fried it. So I ran to the store got a new one and am installing windows atm. It's the longest build I have ever done
-
It is what I am using. I have the tx120+ tx240 I'm using Slim tophat on bottom but you still need to shave off 2-3mm of the spine to make the rad fit. The tx240 is on top as passive. I finished the build after 7 hours. Will do some tests as soon as I can.

The cables took me ages and my fingers are crossed, maybe I fdhusd up the cables and will burn my house down. Today I discovered this...

Big day today ! Received the last box of goodies ! As I thought the slim rad+fan won't fit above the CPU due to the fittings being humongous. Maybe a brand slimmer might fit ? Any suggestions? ( Anyone here ?! ) I'm a bit disappointed there was no guide for the CPU waterblock I had to watch 2 different videos cause things weren't aligned and I thought it wasn't normal. Tonight I'll try to finish the cables now that I have the correct female pins. And get the loop set-up and ready.

I added a bottom fan near the tx120. I now had to shave off some plastic from the water pump. Do you guys think the pump vibration would be a issue against the waterblock? They is 0 space between them and it even holds up my GPU nice and straight. There is a slight outward bow .. Barely visible

I should receive my last order on Monday. Meanwhile here are some pics of me fiddling around with the case. There where a few issues. The 240 rad had clearence problems with the PSU extension cord. The pump had same issue with PSU 24 pin cable . I don't have pics but it will be posted later on. I'll have to wait till Monday too see if the CPU block + fittings would fit .

Sleeving on the way This is a practice run cable on the extra GPU 6+2 pcie. I came into some issues . The female ATX pins I bought are too big they are for molex cables .( Can see on last pic. So I will need to buy new ones. I will redo this cable a second time once the pins arrive , I will shorten it buy 5 cm.

Thanks for the tip. But I will simply buy a ddc Laing pump . I saw a build on reddit that used one, it will be my test pump and extra for future builds .

Hello to the shy viewers. I received my GPU waterblock in the mail today. We'll packed and shipped from China the v.2 version of the Gigabyte gtx1070 g1 won't allow me to use any other waterblock on the market. It looks well made , I sadly can't try it out yet. Cable sleeving pics to come soon .

Hi everyone , I have received my cables + radiators. This will be a long build due to the pump out of stock everywhere in EU. I have tried a quick test yesterday with the 120 rad on the bottom with the slim tophat. There will be some modding to do with the frame. I'll have to shave off 3-4mm to fit the rad. I'll do it through the whole bottom so I can try out the 240 radiator in bottom mount 1side passive cooled just so we will have temps to show off. ( Cooling cpu+ GPU) Meanwhile I'll sleeve the cables till the pump arrives .

I have to find a solution for the pump. The DC LT 2600 isn't in stock till OctobER ... Anyone have any suggestions on another pump+ res I could use in my louqe ?
-
Cable sleeves have been ordered , I went with what was on sale ( like my friends say .. I'm cheap ) . Since the case is closed with no see throught side panels I wouldn't care for the sleeve colours. -6.6m of violet paracord 4mm -6.6m of blue paracord 4mm -60 female molex connectors - I also bought EK cryofuel transparent to add to distilled water for the loop - Lastly the TX240 crossflow rad wasn't delivered to the warehouse so I switched to the non crossflow version TX240 . the radiators should be shipped soon.

I have been doing some research and thought after seeing optimum tech cable sleeving on the cheap video,That I will try it out. I'll sleeve my cables and shorten them for ~40€ +Female ATX pins molex thingy. XD ( to replace the ones I'll cut off ) +Cable combs +Black sleeving +Brown sleeving to match noctua fans. My case will be closed so nothing fancy but it will certainly improve airflow and personal satisfaction. I'll order the parts today. •The GPU has now been shipped from China ~20 days to go.... •Radiators are coming in the next week. And the other stuff is not coming till another 2 weeks ( delivery delayed cause pump out of stock ) the sleeving will be a good thing to occupy me whilst I wait . Peace .

The parts haven't arrived yet , so .. we ( mostly myself ) must be patient ..
