Just finished my first custom loop and wondered what you guys think, i have my titan x running around 1470mhz, it idles at around 28 (even running at 144hz refresh rate) and under load will be around 40 to 45 max when when running very demanding programs/games. The 5930k is at 4.4 at 1.29v and sits at around 30 degrees and while stress testing only hit around mid 60s max. all the fans are running at 900 rpm and near silent given the cases closed front panel design. Just waiting for my led strips to come on Wednesday now :)

What pump mounting plate is that? I love that idea of having it on a radiator/120mm 

it was just a 120mm fan mounting plate from alphacool, it has about 40 holes already drilled in it but i still ended up having to drill some more to mount the pump ho i wanted to

Ey, at least you did it, Its one of the hardest things to do in the PC-World 

yer it was a pain to assemble, especially with the compression fittings they manipulate the tubing and twist it when trying to tighten everything up so it takes a while to get it right, good thing is they are less likely to leak i guess

Thats one of the only reasons I don't want to do a full loop is if something leaks

I'm going to flip, I have never had luck with PC assemblies in general, None the less, Nice job, looks amazing, Temps are amazing, Enjoy

Very nice, clean tubing lines in that system. Placement of everything is very well done and seems to be doing a great job according to those temps.
