Nothing impressive.

[Si3Rra_7]

What's the cost of an advanced watercooling kit like Jokrik's or GrandmasBoy's ??

Oh boy I don't want to think of it but I will tally it up for you right now. ZOMG. I just added it all up. My loop cost roughly $897 CAD before shipping and custom fees divided from 3 different retailers from 3 different countries. YIKES! Of course you can get away for a bit cheaper.

PLEASE, don't tell my wife. :P

Swiftech Apogee = 92

Watercool GTX 670 Nickel = 135

420 rad = 85

140 rad = 55

2 6packs of monsoon fittings plus 3x 90 degree fittings = 100

black plugs 10 or more cant remember = about 35

fans = 150

tubing = 20

coolant = 60 (got enough to fill my loop twice)

Pump = 60

Reservoirs = about 100 for both.

[GrandmasBoy]

Hey guys just wanted to share my PC. I put a lot of time and work and planning into this. It's almost done just awaiting a PSU cover and a custom GPU backplate. Also have a few more cables to sleeve.

here is the backplate I am awaiting.

Thanks for all the love.

[Fordox]

Here is my system:

Yes it is build in/on a Corsair 400R. I wasn't happy with the coolant color, I ordered black but it turned out to be purple... sad. Maybe this will be changed to mayhems pastel.

There will be a second gpu in there, and when i get the money, i will also watercool those.

Set-up:

CPU: FX-8150

GPU: Powercolor 7870 PCS+

SSD's: Samsung 830 (256 GB), Crucial M4 (128 GB)

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 (sadly a rev 1.0, no llc :()

PSU: Coolermaster M850

Watercooling:

rad: Phobya G-changer 280 60mm

cpu: EK-supremacy nickel-plexi

tubing: tygon 3/8" tubing

coolant: feser one (not so) black

res: Phobya Balancer 150

pump: MCP655 (swiftech)

thanks, i didn't had really much choice. it is my first watercooled build, i will change the fittings when i am going to cool my gpu's, so it will look even more amazing :)

[Caesar]

In a 600T :

EK Supreme LTX

EK VGA Supreme HF

EK DCP 4.0 and reservoir combo

Phobya 200 rad (in the front) with Silverstone AP-181 fan

Alphacool NexXxos Pro II 240 rad (at the top) with 2 Gentle Typhoons 1850 fans

Masterkleer 16/10 UV tubing

Mayhems X1 coolant

I'm adding an Alphacool NexXxos Full Copper rad soon (120mm, 45mm thick)

Pardon the poor camera pictures please :(

Woo, a Switch 810 :)

Why the zip-ties on that beautiful sleeving ??

[s0nrise]

Wow, i love them all.

I wish to make a watercooled rig this year, but its nearly impossible to get fittings / pump / tubing / rads here, which really sucks.

I live in Uruguay, in south america. Computer parts are REALLY expensive x2.5 Us price sometimes.

Magnusenl thanks for the suggestion, i will check them out.

wow, really nice watercooled rig here

[TheProf]

Wow... makes my H100 look like a kid ;).... Looks great guys!

[Ghost]

Here is mine...

Theres a couple of things I might have done differently had I known then what I know now. I think I could fit a thin radiator with two fans on the back side of the HDD cage if I had gone with a bay reservoir and I would have gotten better airflow through the case. I also wish I had gone with a different pump or put a non stock pump top on so I could have used 90* fittings to the res. Oh well it was my first build ever and I bit off alot so I am pretty proud of how it came out. Those other things might come in the form of an upgrade later.

Why o why did you add that apple logo?

[Ghost]

What's the cost of an advanced watercooling kit like Jokrik's or GrandmasBoy's ??

If you buy second hand it could be as little as $300

Pardon the poor camera pictures please :(

I love the red!

That pastel dye looks amazing, I'm going to get some from my next loop.

Currently building a new rig. Will be doing a proper water cooling and color matching on it.

Really like the UV effect you have going.
