Well I finally got around to change my water loop

This it how it looked before:

 

2016-11-29 22.11.02.jpg

 

Tubes here were a mess, because I didn't even think about using any angled fittings.

So this time I decided to use fittings and make everything look a bit more clean.

I also decided to use non colored tubes and rather have white coolant. Also moved my pump/res combo to the bottom of the case, and not on the radiator anymore.

This is how it looks now :)

I know it's still not perfect, but it's much better now.

And I came acros problem with this new tube from EKWB: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-duraclear-9-5-12-7mm

I was not able to put those white top firrings to the end ... that tube seems to be too big, and I barely managed to get it to the point it is now.

But for now it seems like there are no leaks :)

Well, there are some extremely beautiful rigs on this site. So, here is my WIP so far.

Lian-Li PC 60 Case

Asus Rampage Extreme III Motherboard

Intel 980x Extreme Edition 3.33Ghz OCed to 4.25Ghz with Swiftech Apoge XT Waterblock

XFX R9 290x with GPU Heatkiller 3 and matching Backplane.

2 x Samsung EVO 850 1TB SSDs in RAID 0 (Yes Striped)

LG Bluray Drive

24 GB GSkill RAM DDR3

Top Rad AuquaComputer Airplex Modularity 140 with Built in D5 Pump & Additional Reservoir-Copper Edition

Bottom Rad AquaComputer Airplex Modularity 360 3x120MM-Copper Edition

All tubing is PETG Hardline Tubing.

Power Supply: Corsair 750w Fully Modular so I could do all my cable sleeving myself

OpenBuilds OX CNC machine that I built to help me with some of my more fancy stuff.

 

Next build I do will be a much larger more "modern" case that will allow me the space I need. For this one, I had to cram everything into a standard Mid-Tower ATX case. I absolutely love my Lian-Li case.

You should get the satin reservoir to match the tubing. That would look great I'm sure!

Nice build though. Loving the tubing and the cables.

That would be something to add later for sure! The only thing is that I can't see the fluid moving anymore :) It's interesting to see how the satin tubing makes the color appear different, more blue-ish.

That Satin tubing looks ace! Where did you get that? Did you bend it just the same as you would regular PETG? What pump is it you have there?

The tubing is Alphacools 13/10mm satin tubing. Note that it's acrylic. I haven't worked with PETG before so I'm not too sure as to where the differences are. Most important thing is that you heat it evenly until it's spaghetti-like. When you want to correct a bend you have to heat the entire area again, otherwise you get spidercracks. And don't point with too much heat at one area, that could cause it to bubble. This video could help, in case you haven't seen it yet :) Bending was kind of paintful to be honest, happy to be done now ^^. I use EKs D5 pump with a Bitspower Premium D5 Kit. It was pretty much the only top that was slim enough to fit in the back, wouldn't have bought it otherwise. It's so expensive.

Yea the price is pretty steep unfortunately. All I can say is that it's excellent quality and something different than the plastic stuff. I kind of wanted to support Singularity Computers as well.

Just some of the builds I did recently :)

I'm thinking of doing a dual-system, with two independent loops, in a Phanteks Enthoo Elite when/if it releases. Although, the In Win 909 and Mudrerbox MKII are both very eye-catching cases to me at the moment as well. I'm also considering something a little bit different, like glass tubing, chrome/nickel tubing, or steel-braided tubing.

Thanks! I've been considering some alternatives. Such as matte-black copper tubing. Or steel-braided soft tubing.

I think it makes for a very clean set up. Plus EK blocks aren't too restrictive. Not sure the flow rate, but on a 480*60 rad with NF-F12's, I keep an i7-6950X (OC'd to 4.0 GHz, 1.25V) and two 1080's below 50°C when gaming. So it works lol.

Isn't bad at all considering those fans. I hate using them on my high fpi rads.  Wanted to use a 480 on my parrallel rig but I don't feel like getting a 4th case to just have sit around.

Yeah, 480 seems to be going by the way side. 360 is pretty popular these days. The fans do well on this rad. The loudest component of my build is either the pump or HDD.

That NCase build looks like it was super fun the build. How bad is it on terms of maintenance? do you have to work some risky water cooling magic ?
