Been working on this for a while now. Not the best in the west but at least it keeps my gear cool and runs very well.

cable management is still being worked on.

watercools locked chip........... i would never do that

I'm also working on my custom water loop, for i7 4790 non K.

You hate guys like us huh?

 

Trust me, I regreat not buying K version for quite some time.

I might try to sell my i7 4790, and get i7 4790k some day, but in my country that's kinda hard, unless I decide to trade i7 4790 + 200€ for i7 4790k ... it's possible any time, but that seems like waste of money

@Jumper118How do you Like that rad? I've been itching to get one for a while now. Is that the 9x120 or the 9x140?

Interesting choice using EK 3way spitters for 90 degree turns, but I think these would look a lot better in your case: http://www.bitspower.com.tw/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=155_167&products_id=3181

 

I get the feeling you're preparing for PETG or acrylic tubing.

I choice these fittings t-splits so i can hook up all 5 temp censors ,the bitspower fittings do look amazing don't get me wrong when they say shinny they mean it .Um in fact the censors are bitspower shinny censors . I also plan to do a upgrade later on i think after 5yrs or so not 100% sure how ive of using the 1155 socket / Z77 era so to speak it's time to upgrade again.

 

With that said ill most likely go with a ASUS again but r an X99 or something that has been proven to go well .Don't get me wrong still to this day my set up is fantastic only thing holding me back is my recently bought GTX 970 G1 Gaming GPU only in GTA V over grass ,think it's just the game. Anyway it's all try an error and that's how we learn .not letting go of this case tho oh my this case is Huge lots of rom to play with tons of space and then some. What GPU ill go with well lets see what people report with the 1070 .Not to mention thee 1080 ti to come later on .Here in Australia things are very pricey hence why i got the 970 . Still was a great upgrade from 2xgtx asus 660's ref cards. I went of topic a little sorry.

 

Also note: the reason i did this style of fittings t-splits is that ive never seen some 1 do it b4 so i gave it a shot and it works out well. Hope this helps.

Hey guys just wanted to share my PC. I put a lot of time and work and planning into this. It's almost done just awaiting a PSU cover and a custom GPU backplate. Also have a few more cables to sleeve.

 

here is the backplate I am awaiting.

is this setup only in yellow, or do 'Linus it' and spray paint it my colours? (just saying linus is beast)

[cynexit]

It's a work in progress, but so far I really like glass tubing, it just looks so much nicer.

Watercooling on a laptop, Why not

[Redbeardthebaker]

Just finished my first ever build and have to share it somewhere. Was scared off doing hard tubing so went for the flexible type, but very please how it all turned out.\

[Limecat86]

Added a 2nd GPU and added Mayhems Clear Blue UV and Laser Green UV dye. I'm very satisfied with the result.

Still waiting for my CableMod white cable kit. 

 

[_Teknik_]

Hi guys, I'm pretty new here so what would be a better introduction than showing off my main rig

 

I built it a few years ago with Mayhems Pastel Blue coolant originally but my last water changed I've switched to a clear UV blue

 

Its got an I5 3570K and 2 GTX 770's, not the most intense but gets the job done 

 

 

And back when I had the Pastel

So yeah, this build is ALL about having to make compromises. I'm chronically fucked when it comes to financial things thanks to some not-so-nice medical stuff. That means building a PC requires sacrifices and, yes, compromises.

 

 

 

It's been a while since I've had a custom liquid cooled system for myself, last time was like in the Q6600 days. I just haven't had the money for it. Last year I built custom loops for several of my friends and that left me with some extra h2o gear. I put together a CPU loop using that leftover gear and I was supposed to put my R9 290 under water as well, but I ended up having to RMA it. Instead of a new card I chose to get my money back and decided to wait for the GTX 1070 to launch. It took some patience but I did exactly that and saved up some more money to buy one. I got my card a few weeks back, and a few days ago I got an EK 1080 block and backplate for a very reasonable price and went for it. It's nothing special but for me personally this is a big deal. This build shouldn't even exist with how tight money has been for the past year+. Shit like this makes me happy.

 

Next up is removing those unsightly RGB LED strips and replacing them with better quality ones I have lying around. One thing I'd really love to do is sleeve the cables (the D5 cables at the very least) but that'll have to wait until I have a) the money and b) the motivation. I wanted to get rid of the horrible Founders Edition noise and hoped for steadier boost clocks and that's exactly what I got. Plus it's nice to look at and even my girlfriend said it looks "cool and pretty" which is a BIG deal (it means it can stay on the table - yay). Sorry for the wall of text but I really wanted to get it out there. This stuff actually has some meaning to me. It's a damn nice way to kill stress, pain and anxiety too.

 

Only did a quick temp test in Witcher 3; maxed out at 40c GPU, 37c water and 55c CPU after 35 minutes in 32c ambient temp, Corsair ML120s running at 1100rpm. Still bleeding the airbubbles out. I knew I might be risking it with having only a 360x40 rad but I really could not afford buying more. Besides, I figured I should be okay considering the GTX 1070 isn't that difficult of a card to keep cool. All in all, the last time I was this happy with a personal build was when I was looking at my first loop with an Athlon XP 2400+ and a Radeon 9800 Pro in like 2004.

[G9x001]

I will be changing the colour of the build in the next few weeks to red to better match the motherboard.
