First custom water loop!

[spadz93]

Finally took the plunge and put together my first custom loop! Here's the only picture I have so far, all EK parts except the coolant and the fitting couplers that convert from hard tubing to soft in the back of the case for the radiator(s). Gpu loop will be next! Coolant is mayhem pastel white, and lighting is corsairs lighting node pro

Never heard of it before but I really like it. Pretty unique.

Thank you both!! The case is pretty unheard of since it's usually not a mainstream case (or so I would imagine). I say this because the thing is actually huge, quite literally coming in at the size of a small mini fridge

Haha I saw this case in Black at my local Fry's Electronics. I must say it is my favorite Thermaltake case thus far. It is a really unique case. However don't try and build an air-cooled system in it (even an AIO won't provide cooling to their full potential), as it was designed for watercooling first.

 

Good job though I also did my first custom loop on my brother's system, and it is beautiful.

Yeah, I definitely hear you, I had a corsair h100i v2 from my previous build (nzxt  h440 based) and I could't even mount the radiator anywhere. The only AIO that would work is a 120/140mm one on the top exhaust fan lol, had to run the stock intel cooler for a few weeks while I waited for the rest of my loop parts to come in

Thermaltake showed a bracket in their pictures for their Tower 900 holding their Water 3.0 Ultimate RGB .

This i am curious about, I'll have to dig it up. I guess if the hoses are long enough it's possible to reach around to the back?

So, if i'm reading this right, the rad would literally just sit on top of the HDD cage? Lol

I feel like that would be so ineffective, it would either be pulling heat down (against laws of physics) or it would be pushing heat up onto the motherboard... Oh well, i'm custom loop lol
