UPDATE

 

A very special little friend arrived today!

The Strength Vault Boy Bobblehead from Bethesda

GPU cables are still on their way































The pastel coolant from Mayhems seems to have settled down in some areas from not being in circulation and maybe from the air inside the system. Still waiting for the GPU cable till I drain it. I'm gonna smash it all in one day

Thanks for checking out the build. Next update I hope it will be with the finished product

Cheers,

Alex

UPDATE

Man That figurine is nice . Would look solid on top of this build . LOvely mate

[ccRicers]

This build has really grown on me. Saw it first on OCN but nice to see it again here.

That's looks really sweet, nice job!  Bobblehead is a nice touch, I have the Repair bobblehead next to my gaming pc.

[davidbuss]

Also does anyone know if the GPU block is meant to trail like that and fill everywhere up to the o-ring? 

Man that looks good filled   As for the trailing, I've never watercooled before but it does look a bit odd. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the cards are normally parallel to the ground, not perpendicular? Although if there was a perfect seal between the plexi and the metal parts of the block then I guess there would be no need for the o-ring at all. I doubt you'll have any problems but it does take a bit away from the overall aesthetic.

Thanks . I haven't figured out where I'm gonna put it yet but most likely inside the case somewhere

Thanks man . Yea I don't think it's an issue either but like you said, it takes away from the aesthetics. If it would fill up everywhere then I wouldn't mind it. I also think it's got something to do with the fact that it sits upright like that. When I get the new GPU cables and take the build apart I'm gonna fill the GPU block outside the build and shake it around with some caps on . Hopefully that will spread the liquid evenly around the block, there's still quite a lot of air in the GPU block atm that might be causing it to look like that

Try it out on the top of black MOBO cover u made or

the 7th photo on the last post u made if ur case covers close(but that will limit it to be sseen from one side)if u r okay with it but i am nt

Yup the top of the MB cover is a good spot, I'll have to see if it's not too big. Otherwise it will go on the side somewhere

Thanks a lot man

 

 

 

Hopefully the new GPU cables will get here tomorrow morning as they just cleared customs in Aus this afternoon. I think they should have been here sooner but DHL seems to have messed up a bit, they did a quick trip from the UK to Germany and then back to the UK for some reason haha

[GhostWindGamer]

I have missed quite a few updates and now I've finally come back and seen it I must say it is absolutely beautiful

Will you be doing any LED's internally or anything?

 

Very sexy build, much wow

Thanks . Good to have you back

Thanks man . Yea I have two white 5.5" DarkSide LED strips in the roof on each side and another one underneath the mb tray cover to light up the acrylic around the edges. Since I'm still waiting for the GPU cables I haven't had the build on much, other than when I filled it. Final photos with lights and side panels on will come once the build is complete

You big tease....

 

Also it would appear you have an bubble in the top tube leading back to the big radiator.

Hahaha I haven't really seen it on either. I was too frustrated when I filled it up as I didn't know what made it not power on. After I found out it was the GPU cable I filled it just for the hell of it, was only on for like a minute while the pumps circulated all the liquid. I didn't bother bleeding the loop as I will drain it in order to get all the cables back in so yea there are quite a few bubbles in the loop . Hopefully that will happen tomorrow if I get the new GPU cables, I'm getting all my drivers and programs ready now (fingers crossed everything goes well this time)

[rutwik]

Try to hang it if u can .

And those led lighting will also look awesome looking forward to it.

My RAM also reached it also had the same story.

[ciobanulx]

UPDATE

Great news today guys!!!

This morning when I woke up my jaw dropped when I saw that my build was featured on both EK Water Blocks and ASUS North America Facebook pages

A few hours later the new GPU cables arrived . Tested them and all is good. I spent the rest of the day draining the loop, getting all the cables in and filling the loop back. Glad to say that the build is now up and running . Just about to install Win

I will take the final photos tomorrow after work, just wanna finish everything tonight.

Also the MOTM Voting Thread is up over on OCN. If you have an OCN account and like my build and enjoyed this build log please go ahead and vote for my build, it will help me a lot when I start my next project (another ITX system in a Corsair 250D this time, lots of mods, haven't decided on a theme yet )

Thanks for all the support guys!

Here's the Vault Boy in all its glory

 

 

Cheers, Alex

Very sexy

[alby800]

Noice, I see that you are charging your wallet, do you get more money from that

[ALXAndy]

Very nice and I commend you on your skills, but I still feel that Dinoc has absolutely no place in this build.

[The-youri]

congrats with your build it looks perfect ! 

 

this is one of the best build logs i've ever seen .

i hope to see an other build from you if that is going to happen ( i really hope so ! )

[aliendejoe]

Amazing!

Wallet-powered it seems

[ciobanulx]

Thanks man

Thanks guys . Haha, just an old 2.5" USB drive I used to transfer all the drivers. I wish I would get money by charging it though haha

 

Very nice and I commend you on your skills, but I still feel that Dinoc has absolutely no place in this build.

 

Thanks a lot man . Sorry you feel that way about the Dinoc, I came to like it in the end, even if it deviates from the theme a bit

 

congrats with your build it looks perfect !

i hope to see an other build from you if that is going to happen ( i really hope so ! )

 

 Thanks a lot . I sure am planning more build for the near future though I really need to focus on my uni for the next 2 months or so. But I will most likely get started on my next project sooner than that

[MarQue98]
