Temps for both cpu and gpu under full load are between 45 and 50 depending on how warm or cool it is in my room at that moment.  At stock clock speeds they rarely break 30.

 

Future plans include adding a couple more LED strips to better illuminate the darker areas, and I may use a piece of real glass for the window, I've babied this thing and its still got micro scratches and not so clear areas.  Also if I ever find another good deal on a 980 hydro copper I might go for it.

Work in progress. GPU blocks should be here Saturday, so hopefully finish the loop this weekend or early next week.

copper will eventually be painted / powder coated, playing with paints

Hey I'm also going for copper piping for my loop in the near-future . Except that I'll get 'em nickel-plated 'cause that looks utterly badass. What people have said about my idea is that it will make my build pretty much original since I (and probably everyone on the LTT forum) have never seen a build on here that features nickel-plated copper pipes (not a pre-built. DIY).

I love the clean simplicity of that build.  If I could give one piece of Unsolicited advice.  Do something to cover the colored small cables for the IO.   I actually just did it today with some paint.   It is the only thing I see on your build that sticks out.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I'm in absolute love with that satin black tubing!

Thanks. I noticed that as well. I need to find some heatshrink that will fit over the plugs.

Recently reworked the tubing to insert a radiator between each component.  Next week, ill start sleeving cables.Will also change LEDs to red.

So If I see correct, you have 120mm + 120mm rad for CPU + GPU + GPU.

What are your temps with this build?

[Curufinwe_wins]

Cable Management on some of these builds are eye-rendingly bad.... That said, the great ones are phenomenal.

 

I present (my not particularly new) Kurald Galain, although all pictures are from my recent 6 month fluid flush so bear with the bubbles:

Those are 140 rads and there is a 120 x 360 in the compartment behind where the motherboard sits.

 

Idle temps are around 28C.  Under load with no overclocking maybe 39 to 40C

[Rck010]

Some 'DIY stand' i made for my GPU block. If there is one thing i hate, its sagging (GPU's i mean...)

My newest project, still a work in progress but I felt like I should share since I'll probably have to slow down due to time

Corsair air 240

i7-4790k with EK supremacy evo

Asus Z97 Gryphon Armor edition

GTX 980 2 way SLI with kryographics waterblocks

Klevv NEO 4x4GB 2133

 

 

 

 

the table is a work in progress but so you can get an idea of whats going on down there, I'm still deciding on a fan controller so the cable mess isn't permanent

Really clean looking build and props for making standard Noctua's look amazing. I need to get my rig in here soon.

[carguy86]

i have given Black Glacier a little refresh (new reservoir top, drainage sytsem and rgb led strip)

[Carclis]

Finally finished my first loop and pretty happy with it. Specs are in my sig, but water cooling gear is:

 

EK Supremacy EVO full nickel

EK 13/19mm black compression fittings

EK Fury X nickel

EK Coolstream XE 240mm radiator with EK Vardars in push/pull

EK Coolstream PE 360mm radiator with Gelid Wings in push

EK XRES 100 D5 Vario pump/reservoir combo

 

Also, inb4 someone mentions the cables behind my PC.

Forgot to post my new project in here, so here's a few pics for you.

Soon as I saw the arctic camo Asus Sabertooth Z170S I had to buy it. Little bit of a step down in places from my ROG formula VII but still pretty happy with the look of the build. Really not impressed with my 6700K though, definitely was shit out of luck with the silicon lottery this time but even so, still annoying coming from a 4790K that I could undervolt at 4.5ghz or even hit 5ghz at max OC. Also have a strange issue where default voltage and clocks pushes over 1.4vcore.

 

Only thing that I would like to improve is case airflow. To jam in x2 360mm rads I had to remove the rear exhaust fan and put the front rad where the fans normally would be which then meant I had to run the fans on push exhausting out instead of push intake. I could reverse them and run a pull intake setup but would look ugly with the fans backwards and temps are still pretty good overall. Also still a few red/black touches left from my previous ROG build ideally I would swap.

New loop all lit up and whatnot. Still missing a couple cable combs but it looks nice overall. I took it without the side panel on because it's tinted so you can't see as much.

[Haakoneng]

Hello And Greetings From norway.

First of My english is bad.

 

I will show you some pictures of my "test" Rig.  This is just Phase One i like to call it. I will Add som more and Finnish som kable managment.

The prosjekt was Basicly and idea how "hot" the computer wuld get running this setup. So i buld it to se im i was good and i was quite good.

My hardware specs are as Follows.

Full Ek Wather cooling. And one 480 MM Quad Radiator ( i got 2 of them but not fitted yet.)

As you see on the pictures i run a I7 3960X which i overclocked a bit. (This is not the plan This i Do try for fun)

Asus Rampage IV EXtreme ( Socket 2011) Latest Bios.

2 R290X In Crossfire. ( i need to Change one slot couse its running in x8 Pci-e mode

And 32 Gb  Corsair memory. (Of cource)

Corsair (850 Pro PSU)

Samsung (850 Pro Drive Just os..)

2 Wd Black Drives. 3 Tb and 2 Tb. (i got one more here somware)

I use Aquastrem Ultimate Pump Whitch gives me a good flow and som very good reading of my cooling.

 

This system Was never Designed to be Bad ass. i was just curius to se what will happen.  i  Will "tune" it som more when i get more components.

The "desk" is designed to be a drawer i got rails ( like a Server)  so you just pull out when you need to do stuff. (see picture)

I Hope you pepole Will Get me some tips Regarding the Overclokking Of the Cpu and The Gpu.

Cpu is as you can see is Unlocked.

http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i7/Intel-Core i7 Extreme Edition i7-3960X.html

I hope i will manage to get it finnished soon.

Plans :

 

I will add one more pump.

I will add one mor Radiator.

I will Change Slot on one R290X Tri Oc Shappire card.

Well this is it.

 

Thank You. All.

Agreed. Also Cases for these Server Boards are Expensive. I would need a 900D just to fit my board!
