I can't help but not love the Switch 810. It's such a brilliant case for watercooling. 

 

As I have said probably probably a hundred times I love red and black builds and although this doesn't take the cake it's still pretty good.

 

Cable management is like all watercooled builds, brilliant as always. You should try sleeving your own cables next time :D

 

Another awesome build log. Thanks :)

Spazzing on your color scheme! RED AND BLACK IS THE WAY TO GO!

Though can you shorten the connection between the mobo and Cpu block? 

Maybe add another 120 rad at the back below the 360 rad? like such


120 Rad

 

 
then maybe sleeved cabling? :D

i tried it but i got a kink in the cable then, it's weird because i've seen people with a shorter connection.

 

sleeved cables are coming with the next upgrade :D

Looks very good :), you can't go wrong with red and black!

That usually ends up adding extra tubing  which looks bad and gives little added benefit :(.

Sweet build I love the colour scheme, what coolant did you use?

Pretty nice looking build. I usually prefer seeing the least amount of hose but the way the hoses curl with each other I like
