Hey guys, here is the story of my first PC!

It started in a prodigy with a p8z77-i deluxe, H220 and a HD7850. I was frustrated with the form factor and decided to upgrade to a 600T and a sabertooth, i ported all my hardware to the 600T and overclocked again to 4.2 and noticed my temps were through the roof, i started trouble shooting and found my H220s pump died, and instead of shipping back i cut it open and took the rad.

I then decided to make my first custom loop.

So  here are the specs And the short blurry journey! 

 

Case: Corsair 600T

Motherboard: ASUS Z77 Sabertooth

GPU: ASUS Direct Cu 2 HD7850 

CPU:Intel 3570k

PSU: Silverstone SST-ST65F-G

RAM: Corsair Vengance 1600mhz 16gb

Storage

Boot:Samsung 840 240gb

Game: Sandisk Ultra Plus 240gb

Mass: WD Black 2TB

Backup Raid 1 array 3TB

 

Water Loop

Rads: H220 and an Alphacool NeXxos UT60 240mm

Pump: DDC With EK X-res 100

Tubing: Primoflex Advanced LRT

Fittings: Monsoon Center free Comps and a mix of Bitspower rotarys

Waterblock: Koolance 380-1

Coolant: EK Clear

here is my overclock

 

Sorry guys stay tuned my phone died and i will take final pics shortly.

Aslo as you can see i have made custom lighting i soldered together and crimped to fan headers and i am running off the cases onboard fan controller, i am yet to add a switch to it.

Next small project on it will be a voltage reducer to the pump.

And next gen Amd GPUs when they are released i will weigh up betewwn them and Nvdia and put it on the water too.

Stay Tuned!

How about removing the 5.25" bays and get a bigger radiator in the front?

Well ate the moment i have a bitfenix recon in the front, but i am considering removing it and having fixed voltages.

I really like the ability to monitor temps though...

Man you are pushing that 650 powersupply to its limits... I like it lol but nice cable managment and the like triple thick dual rad looks awesome but when you put tubing and water in could you use some white tubing with distilled water of dyed water that will fog up and become a mess later on just a little heads up otherwise nice build.
