Mobo: Asus P7P55D-E

Case: Phankteks Enthoo Pro

PSU: Thermaltake 650w 80+ Bronze

GPU: MSi/Corsair 1070 Seahawk (Stayed in upgrade)

Drives: 2x WD Red 3TB (Stayed in upgrade)

256GB SSD (Stayed in upgrade)

 

New Rig-

CPU: i7 8700k

CPU Cooler:Corsair H110i

Ram: 32gb G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3000Mhz Cas 15

Mobo: MSi Gaming Pro Carbon AC

Are you reffering to the GPU radiator mounted on the bottom of the case?

That was just the only place I could mount it. No room because of the 280mm rad up top

Consider a new case. Radiators should always be mounted above the pump to keep pump temperature down.  Otherwise you'll start hearing bubbles and you'll wonder what happened. Long term, one day your GPU temp will spike further deepening your confusion.

 

Other that that, looks great! You'll enjoy the crap out of it.

I7-7700k@5.1ghz + 1080ti @ 2050mhz + 32gbs Ram + 2TB SSD = CSGO

i7-6700k@4.9ghz + 980ti @ 1501mhz + 16gbs Ram + 1 TB SSD = Backup

i7-3770k@4.8ghz + 680 4gb + 32gbs Ram + 500gb SSD = Retired/Office work

you have any prof of this? like 99% of wc builds had rads all over. when it come to the res then it sould be above the pump but once the loop is filled it can be w/e. im guessing suction. kinda like taking gas out of a car tank with a tube and mouth.

AIO's don't have a res, the loop itself is the res. You answered your own question. However, to each their own.

It's blowing air down Sunday the top rad is sucking air in, there's also a 200mm pulling in air from the front in effort to keep a positive pressure in the case

looks good though I would do a custom water cooled setup and, not sure about recently but I do know a couple years ago the aio setups weren't much better than a good aircooler maybe only half a degree better cooling

PC is almost at its final form. One of my kits of ram bit the dust (atleast the RGB did) so I had to return it, because of the incompatability I switched to an ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero Wifi board instead of the MSi one. Also swapped out the fans and get 2 120mm Corsair LL Series fans and a 2 1200mm of the same LL series. Only things that are going to change is I have to order another kit of my ram (prices are too high right now) and I am temped to switch to the new Phanteks Entoo Pro TG edition, which is essentially the same case but has a tempered glass side panel
