Project: Storm trooper X99X

HatallaS

I was going to keep it simple, but that's is just not in my nature.

Here is what I have so far:

Asus x99 Deluxe

Intel 5820k

HyperX Predator 3000Mhz 16gb

Crucial Mx100 512gb x2 RAID 0

Gigabyte TITAN X

SuperFlow Leadex 850w

NZXT H440

NZXT x61

NZXT RGB Hue

Now that all of this is inside of that. And the OC has been dialed in. Temperatures are fine by most standards 65* max for CPU and full load on the GPU at 63*.

But for me it is way too high.

It is now time to go full custom water cooling. Now this is my first WC build. I have contacted some suppliers to help me with a custom loop.

If you have any advice please share them, no matter how small it is, I want to know them.

My plan is a 360 in front, slim 280 on top, but the location of the pump/reservoir is still a mystery. Specially that I will SLI soon. Advice?

One more thing I am looking for, if you know a company that sells and ships outside of the U.S., I am in need of overlays, CF specially.

Now onwards with some pix.

Looks fantastic dude!

Gonna do some color coordination?

And soft tubing or hard? heh

I am going for an all white and black theme.

First build so soft tubing, maybe once I go SLI I will try hard tubing.

But I am having difficulty choosing the correct angles for the fittings. 90* for the one exiting the GPU, but the rest can't make my mind,

Good man :) Thats one of the best looking color schemes IMO 

 

Well make sure you get fittings that can accommodate both types of tube runs :P

 

Soft tubing will give you options if you need to make adjustments after you buy fittings :) what water blocks are you gonna get?
