Custom watercooling loop?

[madskristiansen]

Hi guys. I have finally found the parts for my very first gaming pc, and now i think i want to try some custom watercooling. The case is a Corsair 760t in white, i have a nzxt hue with white led and all of the other parts is white as well. The shop i am using for the watercooling is coolerkit.dk - they are the best in Denmark. They have a ready to run kit (http://www.coolerkit.dk/shop/alphacool-nexxxos-cool-3545p.html) and i was wondering if i could put some white leds and maybe get som white fluid as well. Will it even be possible for me to build and maintain this? I have the courage, but i dont know if it is too tricky for a "noob" to handle. Please help me guys

The Alphacool kits aren't bad but the flat DC-LT pumps are known to be a noisy compared to the DDC or D5

Watercooling (with soft tubing) isn't really as hard as it may seem. So long as you take your time and test things properly, it's pretty easy (and fun!). 

 

You can definitely arrange some white LEDs. I think Bitspower actually sells stoppers with LEDs in that can be put in the reservoir ports to light it up. As for white coolant, take a look at Mayhems coolant. They have a wide range of colours and types available.

Do you think you can point out the leds and stuff on this side coolerkit.dk ?

Have a look at my log for a white themed water cooling loop it may give you some ideas/help. It's by no means as good as some of the guys on here but it is ok

Wait, is this your first PC build? And you want to build a custom loop off the bat!?

Dude, chill out. You've got enough shit to worry about with building your first rig (I know I did). Take your time, there's no rush.

If you must have watercooling (although for a first build, I would stick with a stock CPU cooler or beefy air cooler) then I'd get an AIO instead.

A custom loop for your first PC build just screams 'bad idea'.

Thats sick! Do you maybe have a finished build picture?

Here's some from XSPC but double check the diameter of the LED spots first, they are usually either 3 or 5mm

White coolant: http://www.coolerkit.dk/shop/mayhems-pastel-ice-3065p.html

 

The LED modules are the LED stoppers. Not from Bitspower, but similar http://www.coolerkit.dk/shop/diverse-353c1.html

If it is a ready to run kit and i want to try it out, then that is what i will do Dont worry, i have a friend who has been into watercooling for a few years now, just thought it sounded cooler to be a beginner to diy watercooling

Go the end of the log, I think it is page 4 towards the bottom. The GPU loop is white coolant so may help with your ideas

If you feel confident, then fine. I personally wouldn't do a custom loop for my first build, but that's possibly just me.

You may also find yourself tinkering with your build because it's new, which will be much harder with a custom loop.

But again, your decision, we can't stop you.

The Corsair 760t has three drive bays in front. The top one has this little cover on it for an ugly dvd writer or something, but would it be possible to fit the reservoir inside of that top drive bay? The two bottom ones will be used for a fancontroller or just be empty and clean.

You most likely will need to install it either in the second way or bottom one since the 360mm mount extends into the bay area and with a 30mm thick rad with 25mm of fan it adds up.
