Hadron Hydro full WC.

[Julian]

So I haven't seen many builds with the Hadron hydro, so  I decided to delve in and share my experience.

 

 

Starting of the cable management, which is huge in this case.

A GTX 780TI SC will fit nicely

 

Really disapointed in the quality of cable, super stiff and hard to bed, I wish It was just two separate cables.

Compared to my LG G3

WC Kit arrived with my EKWB

Alll neatly packed

I ended up trading this out for some blood red coolant to better match my insides.

The pump and rez combo, pretty quiet for the most part.

CPU block and back plate, SUPER beefy!

Extra bag o' goodies

The fittings included, I wasn't a huge fan of them. I much preferred the ones I used on my EKWB which were swiftech.

All installed!

Really annoyed these weren't black or sleeved.

Start of the bend to the GPU from the CPU

All nice and pretty tucked.

Please excuse the ghettoness here  <_<

all filled up and leak testing her.

 

The finished product,  I just need to add some LEDS

Nice! Though those horribly sleeved cables destroy the overall presentation.

Nice!

What are the springs in the tubing?

if i had to guess i would say either something to stop corrosion or a large kill coil?

I'm not sure? I don't know much about water cooling loops @Julian

It's anti-kink coil. Helps to stop the tubing from kinking(folding) and restricting the flow.

ok thanks. IMO it doesn't look as nice but if it serves a purpose, then YAY

I agree, it REALLY bothers me, but for the price-point with the PSU and case I can't complain too much. I would of rather seen a modular PSU and properly sleeved cables, and more SATA power connectors. There were only 2 and there are total of 4 Molex which blows my mind.

Yeah I really don't like it either, but at least it matches the chrome fittings.

 

 

I forgot to list my hardware.

This seems to be about the average temps in this tiny case

CPU is a tad higher than I like reaching up to around 70 on P95, and the gpu hovering around 50-52 on Kombustor..but I'm more or less more concerned with the GPU temperature.
