So far people have been able to get the uncore frequencies above 4 GHz only on these sockets so something must be working right here.

ASUS wouldn't make changes to a CPU socket that voids Intel's warranty if it didn't give any benefit ;)

Help me decide what reservoirs and color scheme to go with then. Given the motherboard is more or less settled now, and there will be 2 loops in Side 1 plus the part where the reservoirs will be 2 of the new FrozenQ ones- LF Reaction or Novacore Extreme. Red and Blue?

Red in one loop blue in the other? Or what?

 

(like red in the CPU loop, blue in gpu loop?)

Something like that, nothing decided yet. I am still contemplating doing copper/nickel plated copper in both loops on Side 1. For Side 2, I have 10/12mm acrylic tubing and an existing 400mm reservoir (actually 2 but the other one will be pretty must just a spare).

I think blue and red clash to much, it may look stupid if you have a red motherboard then random blue coolant

 

not sure though.  

 

What about red and white? or red & clear?

Yeah, thought about red and blue being too strong together. Let's assume at this point that the only color visible will be in plexi blocks (if at all) and the reservoir. Red and white are options also.

Red and white loops always look really cool so I second that

If you were to do red + blue, I think you would need more blue things in the system to make it work together.

 

But then again, it would clash a lot so I'm not sure about that since they're practically opposite colors.

One factor is that Side 2 will likely have a red/white color scheme going on as well. There will only be one loop there at this point but with some paint/vinyl job on the motherboard, white fans etc.

All good points!

Been away sorry I missed loads =[ If you are going to use red and blue maybe you could come up with a way for the loops to go through both sides and do some cool effects with a dual loop res so it looks like the colours get mixed in there but actually don't.

 

 

I'm sure something like that must be around somewhere.

The GPU and CPU loops probably aren't going to interconnect at all.

 

Mhmm maybe you could just do something fancy with the tubing then, I dunno either that or just have the 2 loops 1 on each side and match the colours that way. I dunno it's kinda hard.

Ok then, the quad rad roundup thread is done (for now): http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/237967-the-quad-rad-roundup-massive-56k-warning/

So time to get back to this. DDR4 still not here, but I can at least work on Side 2 in the meanwhile. Sorry about the super lack of updates!

Never imagined I would be doing reviews like this when I started building. Next up in the review list is "Cooling Hawaii" with stock cooler vs Corsair HG10 w/AIO vs NZXT G10 w/AIO vs custom loop w/appropriate parts. Depending on how the aftermarket cooler manufacturers respond, they may get added in as well.

 

But as for the build:

 

 

Definitely thinking of 1-2 of these now, with white rails.

Thoughts on the paint job? Ignore the CPU block for now (probably will have EK Supremacy Evo with red plexi top and white pastel coolant)

Slight backstory- this is for the reverse ATX side and it is for my girlfriend who does a lot of brain research. So I got a brain model 3D printed, used it to etch the patterns you see and then am considering having it mounted somewhere in there- either on the motherboard itself or reservoir maybe. Not a 100% sure on that paint job though (was aiming for a brain matter finish), and I may even paint the MOSFET block as well if I end up going with this design.

Thanks guys, I was in two minds about this but so far everyone seems to be liking it. It definitely wasn't easy to do, but that was because I was trying out a lot of new things. The EK block was a lot easier because I knew what to do now. Should I paint the MOSFET block as well?

 

Edit: Who am I kidding? I will do it if only to not have that "I should have.." naggle. I'll take care of that tomorrow and then mount in the RVE onto the main side as well with the KPEs. I ended up getting another EVGA Pro SLI bridge due to the spacing on this board as well.
