Project Grimmm's Blanco

[grimmm88]

I manage to fix the second card and now it is being detected. What i do??? i dismantle everything and clean it with iso propyl alcohol and re do it again. Change the thermal pads and everything( a 1 hour tiring process) then i got it install then connect back the tubes, fill her up and let it run like 20 minutes then boot the system. I guess i'm lucky and the card is fixed. So i can proceed with the process picture or what not.

 

Below is the finish loop and only the bottom part i need to curve it a liltle bit for the 6 pin clearance for my sound card. i try 90 degree but it still too close. So i merge 2 x 90 degrees and clerancance is just nice

 

 

after connecting all the tube. i already have an idea where should i put the drain ports

 

 

after the drain ports was connected. Is time for the moment of kinda truth. Fill her up with disitilled water and sys prep and leak test

 

Picture of i open the XSPC res combo window for a better view and the leak test

 

 

leak test all good. The plan is to wait just 5 hours and drain the sys prep out of the system but i slept over..lol.. Drain port work fine with out tilting so much.

 

 

 

afterward i re fill her back with distilled water, silver coil, bioxide extreme and 16 hours later i boot the system and i got to know my second gpu card is not being detect. I post later on the finish product. Start taking picture.... to be continue

Atleast you got quick disconnects right? I forgot to add one, draining the water was a b*tch.

Without OC running on normal standard 3.5Ghz in real temp showing

 

[grimmm88]

Im continuing the build as i bought some hard lining tube n fitting. In the midst of building it and will post some picture of the process. Stay tune...

[grimmm88]

Hey Friends

 

i have bought some rigid tubing, tools, pump and a new reservoir.

 

 

Below is my first bend

 

 

 

after my second tube i already get the hang off it. my learning curve is to bend in any degree slowly so i manage to complete my first bend and kinda happy about it

 

 

 

and next i manage to get it done one by one

 

 

and proceed with the complete build

 

[grimmm88]

Then after i get my pump installed with and the complete build of rigid tubing as below

 

 

 

moment of truth is the leak test which im so worry about but it turn up well. No leaks so far up to 36hours today. Lucky me...

 

 

 

i forgot to mention that i change the upper rads ro quad from xspc rx480 and transfer my monsta 360 to thew bottom and remove all the 240 rads. I also cut of the area where the phantek logo is as the 360 rads cant fit. im plannning to have a close case rather than the rads sticking out

[grimmm88]

Some picture of the (not completed yet exactly still waiting for my custom sleeve)

 

 

 

will post more picture soon

[grimmm88]

Update :-

 

Just receive my new R5E full waterblock and will start installing when i receive my 90 degree fittings. Below are some pic of the new waterblock

 

 

project never ends.. stay tune...

[grimmm88]

Heya Folks

 

Sorry for the late update, just completed installing the new R5E then run the leak test. Below are some of the picture of the build

 

 

Sorry my bad i forgot. I manage to get the FC link but not csq and added the MNCPTech fan grill, expensive but the finish is great

 

 

My build from front. There are 19 fans (16 SP120 and 3 AF140) in this build and set to really silent and im not a silent freak because when it comes to overclocking to its max silent is not its best friend but i like it silent when doing some work or watching youtube. The tubing on the rad below i save 1/2inch to buy the overkill fan frill from mncptech but still saving some money to buy it

 

 

Some more picture 

 

 

Doing the leak test about 12 hours since i need to go to work. I did a mistake where i didn't put any paper towel in case of any leaks (never do it when you are tired) and lucky for me there is no leak anywhere. For this build also i'm using Mayhem Pastel Ice White. One thing about this case i found out that the top rad placement is a bit off to the right because 3 tube perfect or almost perfect 90deg looks a bit off then i do the water test tool to see of the case is balance. Maybe me earlier or manufacture defects. i don't know

 

So for now i'm still waiting for my cable sleeve to match the build. This is one dent in the pocket but the outcome i like so far

 

[grimmm88]

After a week yesterday, found out my system have some leaks. When i carefully inspect i found out that one of the elbow O-ring have broke or something. Kinda sad as it a brand new 90 degree from Bitspower and the O-ring failed. So i removed the 90 degree and everything is up and running back again today. Below is the picture where the leak is

 

 

then after sort out everything, picture below.. i re use back the Mayhem Ice White pastel but the color is a bit off.

 

 

The picture above, if anyone notice my hdd is no longer there. Been doing some thinking and i bought the samsung evo 1tb to replace the hdd so the view will be clear. Im using the samsung as storage not the window. Window im still using plexton m6  512mb which way more faster than the samsung. Ahh the ssd box below

 

 

booted up everything all good. Then also i replace my old cheap logitech 2 way speakers and change to Razer Leviathan (not a fan boy ok) and also i change my 7.1 Razer tiamat to Strix pro gaming headset which is way much more awesome(sound is subjective). Reason why i change the headset it is because the Tiamat doesn't go that well with the Xonar Phoebus i have, when i change it to mid gain or high the sounds starts to break but not the strix pro.

 

 

 

yeah i know is nothing to do with the build just sharing. After removing the hdd it looks more cleaner now. I have bought some acrylic and actually done cutting up my phantek primo window to larger spec. Now i have just send the acrylic to do some engraving of ROG logo and my nick. The idea to engrave it to a white color font and i send also my design to a friend to engrave it. As per below picture

 

the engave followed the ROG font 

 

this will take up few more days because he is busy with orders right now, ahh yes, the pastel.. because i dont like the color i ordered myself some new ice white pastel (lucky is in stock) and the long waiting of the Alphacool UT60 monsta white version is in stock. Order few more stuff and will continue the build. Will share when im done or when the package arrived this week i hope.

but sound cards are kinda useless.....and can actually make your headphones or speakers sound worse and have a better chance of picking up noise watch the video tek syndicate did about them.
