I was fortunate enough to come into a small amount of money recently so I went ahead and ordered the new PSU along with the GPU. Since those parts were brand new I decided I should go ahead and tear it down and do a deep clean on it since I never put the side panels on because I knew if I did I would procrastinate and not get it completed. I received the parts on Friday afternoon and about 6:30 I went ahead and got started with the redux of the build. Well about 12 hours later I was finally finished everything, I know you're thinking 12 hours goodness gracious LMAO, I'm disabled so I have to do things in spurts so I don't end up hurting myself any worse than I already am. I know I could use some 24 pin extensions along with the GPU cables, however, I actually love the way this looks because it doesn't look like everyone elses. A little caveat also is my name is Thomas and of course my screen name and nickname being TubbyTubb I know it's gonna sound corny but I love how the GPU cables and the water lines sort of make a big T, like I said corny LMAO. I apologize ahead ahead of time for there being so many links but I have an 108MP camera on my phone and the files are very large so I couldn't just drag and drop them in the box like I did the main picture I used to give y'all a glimpse of what you would see. I welcome any and all critiques and constructive criticism. The only thing I ask is for nobody to be rude because it doesn't look the way you think it should look. This is what I was able afford so I done the best I can. Some of y'all may have seen my other post in the custom loop section. I am planning on water-cooling both the CPU and GPU I'm working on getting all of the required parts to do that in the fairly new future. A couple or friends are sending me an EKWB EK-Quantum Velocity RGB CPU block for free and the other is sending me all of his bending, deburr tool, tube bending tools as well so I don't have to buy everything just to do one rig. I will probably invest in some of my own in case I get an order for me to build someone a system. Here are the pics: Completely finished This was when I originally "completed" it last year This is right after I tore it down you can see it obviously needed a good bath Of course I had the best helper/supervisor you could ask for LMAO I know my cable management isn't the best on some of them I was length restricted Let me know what you think please.

This AIO has it's fans and pump on the same controller and you're supposed to control all of them with the same fan curve. I don't like that, so I think I'm going to move it's fans to a fan controller on the 2nd CPU fan header mostly because I want the computer to detect the pump failing if that ever happens. after I do that though, what's a good fan curve for a pump? I'm used to just setting them at a fixed speed like 80%. and if I were to leave all of the fans on the fan controller on the AIO, is it okay to have the pump speed scale all the way down with the fans at low temps or should I be working within a tighter range?

Hello, The other day I just bought my first AIO cooler to cool down my 8700k, the fractal design s36. The installation went butter smooth and the instructions were fairly clear, except for one thing. With the fractal design s36, You connect the fans to a fan header of sorts that then goes down the tubbing and is joined by the AIO pump wire, only one wire then comes out the bottom that you have to connect. I want to use the PWM function on the cooler, and so I was wondering if you connect that wire (both fan and pump at the same time) to the AIO pump header on the motherboard (ASUS maximus hero X) or the CPU fan header on the motherboard. I connected it to the AIO pump header right now, but I had to disable cpu fan monitoring in the bios to boot properly, and I am not sure if I can control the fan curve later on. I am also pretty sure the fans (currently not the fractal design ones, but corsair hd 120s) are spinning up to 100% at all time, keeping my cpu 1 degree over room temps at idle. So my question is do you connect it to the AIO pump header, the cpu fan header or is there some software that will help fix this problem? Thanks so much for your help!
