Project Iced Blood - Mayhems/Primochill Sponsored. COMPLETE 15/02/16

Hey thanks its appreciated, as i said earlier in the post and pictures showed, i originally planned to have one in the roof and one on the floor but the O and D was covered by it so I moved it to the roof and sprayed my old 240mm rad (also and Alphacool UT 60 but 240mm lucky huh) white and i fits nicely at the bottom. Hopefully the LEDs will arrive tomorrow after been delayed. Will try and get the 90 degree fittings, white Monsoon compression fittings and tubing here next week so I can start assembling some of the loop

[stealth80]

Just ordered a whole load of stuff including all the fittings, a 7th fan for the 240mm rad, the Mod My Toys Compression fittings, braid kits, pwm extenders, Sata adapters, Fan Controller (Bitfenix Recon, pretty much the only white fan controller!) and 2x pwm hubs. Will have a busy few days i think.

 

Also the Cable for the RoG Front Base was too short as i expected, got to cut this and inline splice some extensions to lengthen it as Asus don't make a longer cable!

cool mounting for the reservoir 

 

 

Hey thanks, todays update is all about that mount lol

 

Today I got the partition wall finished with LEDs fitted to the acrylic, so now the wires are well and truly hidden! I also had a delivery which was made up of the primachill tubing, and the 45 and 90 degree fittings (12 of). I got most of the CPU loop complete but i don't have the white compression fittings yet for the GPU and I'm still waiting on some funds to buy the EK CPU, GPU and motherboard chipset block

So as the 240mm radiator was added later on into the planning stage, it also happened to form one of the lower points in the CPU loop. Therefore i needed to add an additional drain to the one already planned for the res. So this weekend i got that finished which required some metal work on the rear grill to provide an opening for the actual drain point:

Today i had a couple of deliveries arrive including the Bitfenix Recon fan controller, 2x PWM hubs, a braiding kit, 8 pin red extension and the final Enermax Vegas fan for the 240mm radiator. I spent quite a lot of time wiring everything up and tidying up the looms from the fans in the ceiling of the case and also tidied some of the wires around the back of the partition. I also braided the CPU loop pump wire and the front panel header cables:

 

 

Got the wife to take the pictures as she better with camera than me, took the picture of the text with the lights off and no flash, but i think the exposure was too low, however the text doesn't appear as pink as normal lol

 

The front of the case, pretty much the only finished area : )

 

 

Both fans fitted to the 240mm radiator:

 

 

 

 

New XSPC fittings fitted to the res/pump combos, wanted to use the black chrome ones which I already had but seems theres a global shortage of black chrome

 

 

 

[stealth80]

THINGS TO DO:

 

1) Cable management around motherboard area and towards front of case above the trunking.

2) Wait for the rest of the White Compression Fittings to be shipped ..... fit those and route the tubing for the GPU loop once its here.

3) Get the CPU block, GPU and Chipset Blocks ordered and fitted once delivered.

4) Receive Mayhems coolants and flush kit and start bleeding/leak checks

I guess thats one way of describing it   Really looking forward to getting it finished, unfortunately I need to RMA the board back to Asus as the MEI chip seems to be faulty  :unsure:

[wolfgang]

looking good.

I like those fans

[Shroomster]

I am really pleased to see someone using flex tubing. I personally don't really like the straight edges with acrylic, but rather prefer the natural curvature that comes with flexible.

Ye as soon as I seen theme i was like the cookie monster, they have decent quoted static pressure swell, but i haven't had chance to test them yet to see how they actually perform on the UT60 radiators.

I thought about using acrylic tubing, but I already had like 7 of the monsoon mod my toys compression fittings and figured I would stick with those for this build 

 

The build has been short listed for Bit-techs Mod of the Month for February, however its up against some pros with some truly great builds so i don't stand a chance 

 

However as this is my 2nd build and 1st proper planned project I'm kinda proud of that

[SMR]

Really nice build, would be nice if you put some pics of the unzoomed complete system in the next update, I'd like to see how it sits.

I will do some tonight, however still no blocks or coolant in it so you sort of forget about the water cooling side lol. Still waiting on cable combs and white compression fittings to arrive also 

[stealth80]

Just ordered the remaining 2 red compression fittings and the chipset and CPU waterblocks and as promised some external pictures. These were quite difficult to get right as the lighting in my room is quite dim and the flash seems to over power the colours in the case:

 

 

 

Excuse the Intel cooler, but that i7 gets hot !

[Frownwarrior]

I have the bitfinix recon too and I'm very unhappy with it. of 10 starts 2 times it happens that the recon goes from "manuel" to auto" if i set it back to manuel all fans wil lbe on max. its really annoying.  and the tool on desktop is bad too. hope my has just a bug so  yeah

 

 

but the build is very  nice

[stealth80]

I've had some issues with the recon, but I'm putting it down to the fact its running the fans through a powered pwm hub otherwise I can't see it powering 9 fans and 2 pumps

[KRImSIN]

I like this build alot! so pretty i like the color scheme! 5+xp

[stealth80]

Thanks, i think once the loops are finished and the coolant added it will look great 

[Butterfish]

Pictures not working for me. Perhaps you should use imgur for host?

Photo bucket decided i should give it money, obviously i said no and spent 4 hours editing every photo link in every log, around 400, i'm 1/3 through  :angry:

[stealth80]

Had a chat with Mick over at Mayhems today and he confirmed that the coolant and Blitz cleaning kit will arrive tomorrow with an added bonus of something special ...

[enRodjavel]

Hehe build getting along nicely I still think those two roof mounted rad look sick! Really beast and awsome mods

Thanks, the fans really help. There will be some changes happening to the build this weekend
