[g3org3y01]

Hey everyone, just thought id post a couple of pictures of my first water cooled build. Its not to the extent of some of the amazing work that many of you have put up on this forum. I really want to put the GPU under water as well now, it was such a fun project. Ill let the pictures do the talking (sorry for the quality in some photos). Cheers, thanks for viewing  :)

Nice man looks awesome good job!

[hiyayhi]

Very nice :D

[JohnnyGrey]

Damn, you did an excellent job for your first time! And props on your photos as well, good job taking them. I've always wanted to do a water-cooled build, but I can't afford it right now, especially with the price of GPU blocks.

Thanks man, ye I was itching to do my first water cooled build and your not wrong it is expensive. I cant afford a GPU block at the moment either :/

 

Very nice :D

 

Thank you :)

It looks good, things are tidy, but if you went to the trouble of a custom loop, why not add a GPU block, if nothing else the liquidcooled graphics card would be an aesthetical upgrade.

Beautiful! Very tidy!

[Brandonsr]

Very nice, I love the orange  :)  

[physX]

GOOD JOB. :)

[JordanMac]

very nice, very tidy!

why not utilise the northbridge cooler?

[Shikarikato]

why not utilise the northbridge cooler?

Because it's useless? It'll only make the loop ugly and will double as a pressure reducer.

Thanks man, just Koolance Clear Liquid with the Red tubing.

Money, my first loop so i wanted to keep it simple. Believe me i want to do the GPU badly right now. It was not as hard as I thought.

 

Beautiful! Very tidy!

 

Cheers

 

Very nice, I love the orange  :)  

 

Love the orange as well, I wanted to get some red corsair fans but i still love the Xigmatek fans

 

GOOD JOB. :)

 

Thank you :)

 

very nice, very tidy!

 

Cheers :)

No peformance increase as Shikarikato said. It would look cool but again it was my first time water cooling, maybe in the future.

Cheers, I was in your position not too long ago. Watch as many vids as you can and do plenty of research. It will help you so much when purchasing and building. Good luck :)

Damn nice job, what case is that?

[g3org3y01]

Damn nice job, what case is that?

 

Thank you, its an NZXT Switch 810. Very good case if you want to water cool without modding/cutting the case.

Very nice! You should definitely watercool your CPU power delivery though! Its just sitting there waiting to be used

[Richard Burton]

why not utilise the northbridge cooler?

Northbridge has adequate cooling with a small heatsink, its unneccesary, makes tubing runs look gross. Cool the Graphics card before you worry about unneccesary stuff like MoBo cooling and ram blocks

[Nicktrance]

Looks pretty awesome, especially considering it's your first WC rig :D.

I have to disagree, not only is it unnecessary, it just creates a mess of tubing without making up for it by having the cleaner look you'd get with a custom block, preferably with crystal link.

Awsome build but that green gtx just throws it off for me. Still sexy as hell though. Its better then anything i could build
