First time liquid cooling

[MrTurtIe]

This is my first water-cooling build and I was pretty confident in myself so I went for a rigid tube build. I think it looks pretty nice and wanted to share with the rest of you! I can throw in more better quality pictures in later if requested. Enjoy!

Your PC makes my pp tickle

looks great!

 

 

Please, if you have money to spare on the old electricity bill, that pc would make a good pointmaker for the LTT folding team (just look on the forum for more info)

Balls that's pretty

And expensive ... I've always wanted to wc, but couldn't get myself to spend as much on wc as on my components

How much did you end up spending on wc ?

How much did you end up spending on wc ?

Around $450 in total I think. I'll be going for the highest overlock I can get on both cpu and gpu. Also wanted a custom loop just for the experience and aesthetics, which were totally worth it in the end.

looks pretty good, but the line from the pump to the GPU needs urgent care.

the bend at the GPU is closed off and artificially creating exceptional head

pressure and will starve the system causing premature overheating (low coolant

flow). i wouldn't do any voltage overclocking till this is corrected. especially

being downline of the CPU.

 

would deffo recommend using a silicone insert when bending the tubing.

Yup! Was the last tube I bent and I ran out sadly. Replacing that part as soon as possible. Sadly, the silicone insert primatial provided did not fit the tubing so I had to free hand everything. Right now I'm using everything at stock for a bit to make sure everything is running properly before I start to overlock, but it's all working beautifully!

@JayzTwoCents ran into the same on his PETG reline, he suggests to contact

primochill about the issue (sounds like a common issue) and they may correct

the issue of out of tubing (you should have contacted them prior).

Thanks for the info! I'll definitely contact them, maybe they'll supply me with the tubing I need to fix it, too!
