WIP: From air to water ... Custom AIO

[d3ek4y]

Hi all,

 

my build is not a new build this is going to be a step by step update of my current rig.





Wat is in at this moment?

Thermaltake Level 20 VT 
Corsair RM750
Gigabyte Aorus B550M Elite
Ryzen 5 3600XT (with Noctua NH-D15 Cooler single fan setup)
2 x 8GB Aorus DDR4 3200 RGB RAM
Gigabyte Aorus RTX3070 Ti Gaming OC
Gigabyte Aorus 512GB RGB Gen3 M.2 SSD
Samsung 1TB 2.5" SSD
Thermaltake Riiing Trio Fans
2 x Samsung G5 1440p 144hz Curved monitors
Logitech Mouse, Keyboard and Speakers
Blue Yeti Mic
Razer Kiyo Pro Camera

How it looks now:











Soooo, what will change? I am going to build a custom aio in this case with an Alphacool Eisbaer Aurora Solo CPU block / Pump combo, a Bykski GPU waterblock and 2 Alphacool Radiators (a thick 200mm and a 140mm).
I will change out my motherboard -> Because my current mobo only has one USB2.0 header on it and because of my case and the Led controller oof my led strips and fans also need one so i want two.
Then i will upgrade my CPU to a Ryzen 7 5800X and go all M.2 SSD with a Samsung 980 PRO Gen4 SSD for windows and a 970 EVO 2TB game drive.
I also will change out my current RAM for 4 sticks of Thermaltake DDR4 3200 Thoughram  foor the looks offcourse.

Wat i got so far:





Parts List:

Ryzen 7 5800X -> received
SSD's -> on order
Thermaltake Thoughram -> on order
200mm RAD -> received
140mm RAD -> received
MoBo -> received
New custom cable set -> received
CPU / Pump combo -> on order

So at this point it's play the waiting game untill my waterblock's arrive so i can start building and planning the loop. The faster they are in the faster i can place my order for those parts.
i am going to okeep updating this post step by step and am more then happy to repley to questions or remarks.

After some shopping with the misses i stopped at the local hardware store and picked me up a Dremel.
I am going to cut holes in to the motherboard tray to tuck away those cables that go to the bottom of the MoBo.
Tomorrow i'll be stripping the case and measuring out the cuts.

Today i stripped the case took out the hard drive cage and made the cuts for the cables at the bottom of the motherboard tray.

 

 

 

 

not to bad but needs some finishing to look nice and tidy

Parts are starting to drop  

 

 

 

 

still waiting for my GPU block and some small mounting stuff. If my concept works and the block does everything I want it to do I will be doing hardline tubing. But I have some minor doubts about the strength of the pump res block combo. So for now I'll be running some soft tubing to test it all out. 

Started to put everything in the motherboard and fitting it all in the case. The wires on the bottom came out very nice. Much cleaner then before. 
I hope the last things will be in tomorrow.
