Alright, little update

 

Came across an M.2-drive yesterday at work, so it's gonna be implemented in the build now. Nothing better than free stuff 256 GB, although the PCIe-lane is reduced to x8, but that should be fine. 

 

 

Also got some fittings, and installed them in order to get a better visualization of the loop

 

 

Stay tuned for more

This is getting beyond exciting. I'm feeling very teased as I'm waiting for the tubing install. Would you just hurry up already?! lol jk 

[ManOfGold93]

Nice! looks like im coming in a little late to the party but still looks good! where are you going to mount your pump? Going for a pump/res combo?

[TheCookieGuru]

Subbed, looks gorgeous!

I would tell you to look forward to wednesday then, planning a bit more work then

Yeah, probably going for a combo, but I'll decide for sure when the PSU is mounted, and I know exactly how much space I have to work with But otherwise, yeah, combo on top of the shroud.

Another question- since you went for the fury with its own dedicated loop, why have so much radiator cooling just the cpu? the 240 on the top should be more than enough.

(if youre doing it because you can and you have it then nvm I understand)

Yeah, pretty much because I can, and I feel that the end-look will be more interesting with a little bit more tubing in the loop

Cool Cool, it should!

[Khazzirh]

Alright, a little later than promised, but got a little tubing done, all I can do before the pump gets here

 

Enjoy:

 

 

Tight little bend:

 

 

Also got the M.2-drive in place in the back:

 

 

Stay tuned for more when I get the pump

[z3kron]

Oh this just makes my imagination and impatience go wild when I see such teasers!

 

Keep up the great work!

 

P.S Is it just me or the fittings look dirty/dusty?

[EldarNi]

you don't really need that 120mm rad, it only creates clutter, just my non-important opinion 

[Khazzirh]

Alright, been a while since I last made an update here, mainly because I was waiting for parts, and partially because I was still deciding what pump and res to use. 

Moving on to the fun stuff (be gentle, late night working, so terrible pictures using flash because its dark):

 

The idea is to keep the res up behind the pump as seen here:

 

 

 

Here I have started some initial work to see what fittings I will need and such:

 

 

Its so cramped during the working progress that taking an alright picture is pretty hard:

 

 

Also did the smallest little mod up top in order to get somewhere to properly fill and bleed the res:

 

 

A small, but incredibly useful and necessary mod, as every other angle I had to work with would be hell to fill it and still get enough flow into the system/pump and still allowing it to bleed.

Hopefully I'm gonna be done this weekend, just need a few more fittings, gonna take some better pictures with better lighting tomorrow as well

 

Stay tuned!

[Necrodead]

Nice pump mountng, I like the dual 90 fittings from the rad to the pump there. It'll look good when filled too.

[Khazzirh]

Another little update before the finale, also showing some work in progress shots

 

Gotta love the fact that you can remove the top panel, gives such easy access to the entire inside:

 

 

Actually gives me the opportunity to build alot of the loop outside, and just mount the entire piece into the cabinet:

 

 

And now, we are here:

 

 

Just gonna mount the parts that were done from before, and I'm ready to fill the loop and do some leak-testing

 

Stay tuned for final part!

[Khazzirh]

And there we go, the loop is complete, and filled, without any leaks

 

 

 

Let me know what you think

[hearthofsin]

oh god that is nice! great job with the tubing! i really love that res and pump mount! 

[Khazzirh]

Throwing a couple more pictures of the completed loop on here:

Little heads up, according to Jayztwocents, red liquid is really hard to clean out of systems.

[xc0mbatx]

Was just wondering if you will be adding in the GPU to this loop? I really like the look of a compact build like this.

I don't know how much overclocking you're doing but I would think that adding the GPU would be fine into a loop like that. No?

[xc0mbatx]

Opps, I should have ready the start of the post first. I didn't realise it was a fury X.

Space has been used amazingly! Kudos.

[speedyinfinity_3014]

Amazing build! Came together really nicely. I'm just wondering, what's the length of the top tube?

[mikeeginger]

Ughhhh Very nice 

Got to love a small powerful build 

[speedyinfinity_3014]

Got another question, is the Fury X positioned to intake or exhaust?
