Corsair 900D build! Under Red Water

I'd like to know if there is room in the back of the basement for a pump with your setup?

Yes, plenty of room in front of the PSU with a single 480 rad, you could even have room for a D5 right next to the PSU (near the second PSU slot) is you use a 420 rad or squeeze a DDC pump with a large 480 rad.

Awesome, thanks :)

Great Build!. I'm looking to do something similar, how are you powering all those fans? Just daisy chain to Power supply? or anything special. Also what fans are those!

Thx, Just go for it!! Once you try watercooling, you'll never go back to air or closed loop cooling  ;) .

The rad fans are SP120s quiet edition and all the other case fans are AF120 & AF140, also quiet edition.

 

I use a couple of these to power all the fans (Phobya Multi Fan);

I also use two 7v adapters for the SP120s and a single 7v adapter for the AF120s. Keeps the fan speed very low and quiet.

On the bottom on the non radiator side are you just running fans, or are both rads push/pull?

That's right, just 3 fans on the PSU side.

 

Damn this is Beast aesthetics look great!

 

Cheers!!

This looks gorgeous :). The 900D gives you a +99% to awesome build success rate :lol: it's an awesome case, I really love how you can route not just cables, but also tubes down the back of the MB tray. The only thing it lack is WC for the GPUs, but I understand why you didn't :).

Very nice case you have there, I wanted to get this case but they were out of stock. And do you know when they will restock? 

 

Plus has alot of dust gotten inside your case?

If you're in the UK, they should be in stock at the end of the month.

 

The filters do an excellent job so far keeping the dust out. If you keep your fans on low speed it shouldn't be a problem.

After reading all the comments about watercooling the GPUs, I took the plunge and got myself some blocks for my 680s.. Yay

I'll post the pictures of the upgrade real soon..

Very nice build. Well put together, and the EK fittings look really good.

Only thing I'd change around the CPU block area, it might look better going chipset > CPU > chipset with some 90s and even possibly some SLI/CF fittings to get rid of some hose. The loop between the chipset blocks hides the CPU block a bit.

looks solid though. Don't see many builds with all EK water components!

You really should have used air cooled GPU's incase you want to upgrade them in the future!                

 

Oh man I'm just kidding that looks great, and I'm sure your glad you did it!  everyone that has a 900D on Air gets beat to a pulp in the forums.  I like to have a case larger than I need, because you never know what you'll do in the future.  Very nice job! enjoy

Sorry for the late answer guys, been on a well deserved holiday :)

Thanks!! I tried some EK 90s on the chipset and CPU blocks but the fat tubes made it really hard to put together, side pressure on the fittings was huge so I gave up and used standard straight fittings..

Psh, everyone knows a build is never complete haha. Nice job though

  

Haha, very true!! I'm already looking for a 3rd GTX 680.

Might be sad but I enjoy modding the computer more than actually using it....... Sad!!

Thanks man!! I did get fair amount of critics for not watecooling the GPUs. I deserved it!

Thanks!! Good luck with your build, you'll enjoy working on the 900d ;)
