The Water Cooling Gallery

7700k - 1080 Ti - 1TB 960 Evo - Asus Z270F

 

I have since swapped out the bottom XE 360 for a single PE 120 and configured it in push/pull and my system actually runs cooler. 1080 Ti rarely breaks 40C and the the 7700k (delidded) is @ 4.9 1.264v hovers around high 50's for gaming and 62-64C while running handbrake.

My first water cooling build (outside of AIO) and I have seriously caught the bug. I can only imagine how much fun a larger case would be!

 

Specs in my footer.

 

Spoiler

I documented the build, but don't know where to post the complete build thread? (If that''s even a thing here).

(really wish I had a fancy camera...)

If that's considered water cooling then so are vapor chambers. So my titans came stock with water cooling blocks and pump needed.

Meh, looks dope and it's an awesome rig, so I don't really think it's a problem. Also, an AIO is just a prebuilt, sealed loop. I could make a loop with one 120mm rad, a small pump, and black tubing, then fill it up and skip on a res, and it'd be the same thing as an AIO, but still a watercooling loop. And it would be really really expensive to do custom watercooling for 5 GPUs...

Recent build: Poseidon

Quad 1080Ti

Threadripper 1950X

1200 mm of radiator space

 

Happy that I squeezed the 10-gig card between the two cards thanks to the single-slot 1080Ti,

Why would it produce less heat? Water cooling produces more heat, than air cooling, becaus you are moving heat more effectively from the cpu/gpu/whatever to the rooms air.

Bfw really nice build, love that it's all black (or at least mostly)

Thought the same, but maybe its "compared to a different system". Perhaps he had a quad-vega overclocked coupled with a 7980XE :P.

Compare it to the X99 build in my signature, it's replacing that system.

This is honestly the most beautyful build I've ever seen, that zmt tubing looks awesome, and the amount of red is just perfect :o Could you post a pic from other angles? I would be interested how/where could you mount your res.

 

edit: I've since found the build log for this aweesome build: http://www.overclock.net/t/1594638/build-log-titanium-red-corsair-carbide-540

Very nice build! Is the additional 360 rad made of aluminum? Because ek fluid gaming parts are, in order to reduce cost.

Every part of the EK Fluidgaming   lineup is Aluminium parts  :)   So yeah, they have the kits themself, and a page with extra rads, fittings, ect. so yeah, it's all Alu :)
