The Water Cooling Gallery

[cynexit]

Temporary build until Broadwell-E hits, subtitled "orangebox". Mainly done to see how Monsoon fittings perform (they failed, at least for me).

Finally finished my loop!

Corsair 600c

H240x swiftech 280mm qp, xspc intel pro raystorm, xspc photon 170 reservoir, 

 

Keeps my i7 5820k at 50 c , 4.5ghz, 1.275v, at silent speeds, can barely hear the pump if at all. Had a standalone pump but I prefer the h240x instead. 

Do you have cleaner photos? This case is great imo, I like the layout, and your build seems to match fairly well.

[DieHörnær]

Mah bebe. Loop needs redoing and still not finished. But happy atm! Noctua fan is only fan on hand, helps with internal temps by aboot 4-5^o c

I tried those monsoon fittings, but in dark chrome, and primo chill tubing pulled straight off the fittings after they were full compressed, I contacted monsoon about it and received a snotty response, so I won't buy their products

Yeah, I can just compare them to EK and Alphacool fittings, but both brands were much better. I too paired them with primo chill tubing and it was either way to tight or way to loose, they also stuck way to much, especially compared to the ease of Alphacool fittings. I won't buy them again either.

NICE!  Another happy caselabs owner I presume!

 

My cooling loop.

 

Starting with the pump in the top bay, it goes to the CPU cooler, then a 140 mm rad, then the GPU block, then a 120x360 rad, then back to the pump.  I will insert the second 140 mm rad in between the GPUs when I get the water block for the 2nd 980 ti.

These builds have been inspiring.. I'm currently saving up to start my own build.. I've been living off of this ASUS gaming laptop for a few years now since I have had to move around a bit thanks to the Army.. but now I'm settled and ready to start building! thanks for the ideas everyone! Hopefully mine will turn out half as good as all of yours!

Good luck and don't hesitate to ask anyone here for advice!

My Water Cooling. It is BitsPower Connection and Tubing. 3x GTX 970 EK Blocks 1x XSPC RayStorm, 2x XSPC Photons, 2x EKWB Pumps.

2x Quad 120mm Radiator 1x Dual 120mm Radiator. All radiators have 2x Fan for a Push-Pull system

 

The Idea from this loop was original. I decided to do a non-bridge configuration so each GPU gets the same "coolness".

 

[0ld_Chicken]

it isn't built yet but everything is ordered as of 20 minutes ago!  I've got most of the PC hardware and half the watercooling loop already.  I hope to start next weekend.

 

OH and there WILL be aurora 

 

 

this is the same build as it is today, sorry for the horrible pictures

Thank you. Was a pain in the A** but totally worth it!!

[Kevo05s]

the first 2 pictures where the old layout, I prefer the new layout, and the reason I changed it was the input on top was leaking, because of the shape of the port

[Freowin]

Okay so here's my rig. Tubing's ain't pretty, but it works!

 

 

 

So yeah, I kinda skimped on the peripherals to buy everything within budget.

i5-6600k - OCed to 4.7GHz

MSI GTX 980Ti - OCed to 1500 and with custom bios

Gigabyte Gaming 3 z170 ATX Motherboard

2x8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM - 3000MHz

256GB Samsung sm951 NVMe SSD for boot drive

3TB Toshiba 3.5 for storage

 

Oh and DIY RGB Lighting controlled by an arduino.

 

 

Watercooling Loop:

XSPC RX360 Kit (Yes, I used the dual drive bay reservoir in an h440. Pics Inside Spoiler)

Spoiler

XSPC EX240 multiport for my top rad (I had trouble in adding the top rad as it wasn't aligned to the ports of my front radiator. I had to get a softer tube so that I could get a more secure, albeit bended connection, again pics inside spoiler)

Spoiler

 

EK Acrylic + Nickel for my GPU Block.

 

So I guess that's it?  

 

Oh yeah, if you guys are wondering, I had the RGB LED strips on cycle mode, thus different ambient colors are seen.

 

(Purple and Green look sooo nice.)

Out of 32gb, it only reads 24?, that's not a voltage issue, some sticks or dimms are bad

Man, expensive sweet build tho,

Makes me sad , my rve just bit it, 

Looking thru the specs on your build I'm surprised you didn't do an ekwb monoblock for that board

i have no idea it started out by replacing two GTX 670's in my i-3770k with a 980ti then a new case and mb and cpu and ram  and then a custom loop for CPU only etx lol eventually another gpu then more sdds and then i rebuilt the i-3770k......it just keeps going

it started out as a simple custom loop for the cpu only .....the monoblock has been in my cart for weeks, and i am so tempted to pull the trigger  but i just dont wanna take the whole thing apart again when its working so functionally.....yes vrm is the only thing gets hot quick

and i didn't even know what a monoblock was when i started
