First Water Loop- Let the Adventure Begin

It looks nice. The graphics card looks like it's sagging though O.o

Thank you :P And ya that tends to happen with those big 3-slot ASUS cards. The heatsink is so heavy they begin to sag after a while :(

You're right. Our loops are extremely similar. I actually wanted to do my loop in the same order you did. But when I started installing everything I ran into the problem that the reservoir made it impossible to get fittings on my radiator. I decided to turn the rad around instead of cutting up my case. Still a bit too conservative to start doing that just yet.

 

I really like what you did. I personally think a few extra angled fittings wouild make it look even cleaner but it is really cool your sleeved tubing looks awesome

Did you know that there are 5.25" reservoirs? You didn't have to mod anything...but good job anyway, I should look into WC in my next build.

Not everyone likes the looks of those

That is right I don't like them too but when I don't have space for a normal one...I have made some calculations which say I have to make €1000 every year, 3 years on a part time job

Thanks a lot! At first I didn't want to mod my case, but I decided to go for it after a lot of thinking and planning, and it actually turned out great lol But it was a terrifying experience. I could have done a similar loop setup to yours with the radiator turned around, but to be honest I never even thought of it lol I think your loop looks awesome and in hind sight I should have used a few more angled adapters. When I expand my loop I'll add some

Oh yes of course, but this loop was also put in for the aesthetics, not just performance so I decided to go with what looked best. I think the EK res looks way better than any bay reservoir

Thanks man. I'm looking forward to that Hoping it will be awesome. Just a shame bitspower angled fittings are so expensive. I took regular bitspowerfittings and EK angled adapters. Luckily the colours match very nicely.

Indeed they are quite expensive, but then again I did know what I was getting myself into when I started ordering watercooling parts lol
