The first thing i am going to do for this Build is delidding my 4790k and improve the thermal compound on the die with some liquid metal Coolaboratory Liquid Pro )pro since it is supposed to be 2 degrees better )

Project Dark Treassure Continues....

have been working on a custom psu cover out of acrylic,made two

Since i was not really satisfied with the psu cover i thought why not redo it (and improve)

Well since i recently aquired myself a Samsung 950pro nvme Drive,

i thought after some playing around i should watercool it,

 

These nvme drives get pretty hot around 60 degrees  while playing mafia 3 for a couple of hours,and i don´t want that kind of heat around my cpu or GPU,

 

So i got myself a waterblock with some germa evngineering from Aquacomputer.

This block is a beast.

 

Here a few shots

 

 

[Yahtadi]

Finally! I really wanted to put my M.2 ssd into some Add-in-card and add water block in it! 
Now i found "Aqua Computer Introduces kyroM.2 SSD Watercooler" from your post. Thanks OP! Amazing build!

And it is totaly worth it to strap a waterblock on it.

I cant help but curious. Can you measure your M.2 tems using that AIC SSD watercooler? whats before and after termps?

Look @ the pictures i already put the nvme drive under heavy load with and without waterblock.
i marked the pictures.

[jojoharalds]

So the cover is all done ,

All this was done with one 6mm thick acrylic,and then primed and painted with some car paint (matt black) 

 

Also made a cover for the Drivebays and by that also make it possible to strap 4 120Gb ssd´s on that (which i already strapped into a raid0 configuration to give me a little faster loading times while loading  my steam library  )

 

now i have to wait for my gpu block to arrive so i am able to watercoolmy Asus 1080 Strix and get som overclocking done

and some more fans together with a Psu .

 

 

 

 

[jojoharalds]

Gpu waterblock arrived had to strap it on

 

and now some oc to test out the difference.

[jojoharalds]

My appologies for the long delay,i am still waoting on some stuff to arrive for this project.

A gew extra fans and a new more suiting psu has arrived 
Huge thank you goes to Be quiet.

more will come soon ?

[jojoharalds]

Fillport is installed 

installing some more badass fans from Be quiet in total 10 fans are in this case already ?

also installing the Powersupply for some maaad power efficiency with that platinum rating ?

Again Huge thank you to Be quiet for making this possible.

Very jealous at the simplicity of that fill port. I am just finishing my build in the same case and with 3 reservoirs, I've ended up with a bit of a complex piping run and filling the system has taken a fair amount of skin off my hands.

[jojoharalds]

Hey everyone hope you are heaving a great weekend ☺

Trying to do some work today.
With my newly aquired Motosaw
from dremel.
I really love the way you are able to controll you re cut.

 

I was not quite happy with the psu cover and the writing on there
Since Be quiet is supposed to be two words but on the cover there it looked like one.
so i thought on aðproching this a little bit different.
i will be doing 3d letters out of 5mm acrylic instead.

here a few pics. hope you like it

Huge Shoutout to Bequiet for making this possible

Really impressed with what you've done so far. I also want to thank you for showing that fill port design - I actually went back and changed my loop slightly behind the reservoirs so that it is very similar to yours. Not only is it much easier to access but I was also able to bleed the air out of it which I couldn't do before.

There are ventilation holes on the side all around the case ,where air is entering in the front and exiting in the back and top.

The Be Quiet Dark Base 900 Pro 
is all coming along,
still waiting on my cpu block i was hoping to use in this build,
and some more watercooling gear like tubing and fittings,

but in the meanwhile ideas come up and why not use the time and integrate them

did a small cover for the top radiator with a small lip on the bottom,so i am able to cast some "indirect" light on to the gpu and my watercooled nvme Drive. )samsung 950 pro,

Used 4mm acrylic and bend the bottom 45 degrees to the front so the LED light does no throw to much glow to the bottom but more to the frontþ

also installed my custom ROG logo on to the motherboardcover.

more to come soon.

how does that fit up with the radiator? is it on the back side or on the top? seems like it would stop airflow if it was ontop

I think you are missunderstaning what cover means,
by cover i mean covering up the rough looking side of the radiator which also is a different black then the rest of the case.

i am NOT covering the fins where the heat dissapates out through the top of the case.
