Should I have not done this?

[WyRay]

So I was inspired to build a custom water loop, I wanted it to combine what I do for work with what I do for fun and this what I came up with.

 

ive seen hardline copper runs before, but I wanted to use rigid pipe not soft tubing and I wanted an industrial look.

 

I don’t see condensation occurring, the case is basically open to the surrounding air, and I don’t see what purpose selling acidic coolant would serve.

 

i had a good time putting this together, maybe there’s something I overlooked or didn’t consider.

 

either way any feedback would be appreciated.

Hello,

 

Nice plumbing

 

As long as it doesn't leak I don't see any problem.

Good that you had fun. I dont understand why you think condensation is a potential issue.

 

The comment about acidic coolant is also off target since that would eat the nickel plating away. 

 

The look of the build doesn't fit my taste but as long as you enjoyed the process.

I hope those rads are also copper....

Hey thanks, and no leaks.

It was a comment that was made elsewhere, I never thought of it being a problem. I didn’t see how the inside of the case would warmer than the liquid in the pipes but someone did.

 

The coolant ph level was made elsewhere as well and again didn’t think it’d be an issue due to copper being used in blocks and radiators.

 

And no I went for an industrial look that doesn’t fit everyone’s taste.

 

thanks for your response

Copper and Brass unless they’re pulling a fast one.

Nice, with the heat dissipation of all that copper it must be like having another radiator.

That’d be something! But I doubt it. I think Linus did a video on it actually.

 

Im pretty green to the custom water loop world.

 

but it’s performing better than a two separate CPU AIO and GPU AIO combo.

 

under load it’s cooler than my Noctua, but at idle my Noctua gets a little cooler. I think that’s down to MOBO variables though. MSI Gaming m5 vs. ASRock Taichi both Z270 both with delidded i7-7700k and the ASRock board just runs cooler than the MSI according to Aida64

Steampunk themed cooling - Nice!
Nothing wrong with it as long as it works.
