Hello and welcome again to another update!

 

This is another sponsor announcement - And this time Coolerkit.se has stepped up to give us a nice discount on all of the following watercooling items! Thank you Anders for joining this project, and believing in my work.

This means that I have 99% of what I need to get this project completed. I just need a vibration sponge for the pump, some small fittings and Plastidip to paint the GPU brackets. Those updates are coming soon!

 

Thank you for reading, and see you at the next update!

 

Kind regards,

Justin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen

Hello everyone! I have a nice little watercooling update coming at you!

 

This update involves installing the GPU blocks onto the GPUs, then installing them onto the motherboard - and installing the dual reservoirs onto the angled plate!

 

I have to say, I personally love how this build is shaping up!

 

Firstly, let us take a look at the GPU blocks made by EK Waterblocks.

Next up are the reservoirs, also make by EKWB.

DSC07733-2_zpsce51020e.jpg

 

DSC07737-2_zps22b84bd1.jpg

 

 

 

 

So as a short written update, I have started drilling holes through the midplate for the monoblock and GPU bridge, and really got thinking about how I wanted the loop to go. I need to make a bracket for the top of the angled plate as this plate with the reservoirs installed is top heavy, and I wish to give it a little extra support.

 

I hope you all have enjoyed this update :)

 

Kind regards,

Justin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen

 

P.S It was really awesome meeting you guys at the Intel's Kitchen competition!

@MetallicAcid
Could you by any chance list which items are included in the essential EKWB parts?
Like res, radiator, pump and blocks?

Looking to buy myself a loop and I'm confused to what is included, which kind of adapters and mounts to use and so on :P

Everyone have a cool signature. I don't, so I thought I would write something.

- Cool right?

I am sorry mate but I cannot name the parts in the essentials packet.. I have never been a packet kind of guy :P

 

that's awesome, keep it up

Thanks man, will do! I have been slow with updates as my daughter had been really sick, but I plan on making much progress this weekend. Stay tuned bro!

 

Kind regards,

Justin

Hello and welcome!

 

It has been quiet these last few weeks regarding this project as all of my family including myself have shared a nasty cold, which we have been battling for the last 3 weeks or so. This means that our daughter was home from preschool and we were also home looking after her :) This did mean no modding though, but I have almost finished my own website which will launch soon!

 

In this update, I started the tubing for the water cooling loop, beginning with the drain, and from the radiators up to the main cabin. 

 

I have to say that I love working with the chromed copper tubing, which I regard much easier to work with when compared to hard acrylic tubing. And those shiny looks, OH MY GAWWD does it look killer!

 

I have this Monday and Wednesday (around 10 hours total) of which I plan on completing this project provided I get some extra right angled fittings before Wednesday. Other than tubing, I just have to sleeve one more PCIE cable, the pump cable, SATA power and data cables and install the LED strips. Please let me know of what you think of the progress so far :)

Thank you for checking out this project everyone, especially you who have been with me from the very beginning since last year. It is a great feeling to see this project come to maturity, and I hope you have enjoyed the build log thus far! :)

 

Kindest regards,

Justin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen

Looks good! - Question:

How do you make sure that your bending and cutting on the copper tubing lines up as it does?
Do you use flexible tubing to lay it out first or what do you do to plan it? :P

Everyone have a cool signature. I don't, so I thought I would write something.

- Cool right?

I followed a guide and much other helpful info on overclock.net. Here you can find it :) http://www.overclock.net/t/1280153/pipe-bending-101/0_40

:) I have been hiding this thread under a rock all this time.

 

Sorry, haven't followed up on this for a while but.. what happened to the 780's?

The client decided to use other GPUs instead :( I thought that the 780's would have been best, but I guess he needed the VRAM.

 

STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHP

 

Its too wonderful

Never sir!

Not that easy as @Snef lives in Canada. @MetallicAcid lives in Sweden and @p0Pe lives in Denmark. 

So yeah, would be cool indeed,  but very inpractical.
