My first custom water cooling experience

[coltonpan]

I just built my first custom water cooling. Although I haven't finished everything because I'm waiting for the Hawaii GPU and water block it but anyways. I wanted to say that doing custom water cooling is more than a hobby than the actual fantastic cooling. It was the accomplishment when I finally finished it. I love everything about it now. None of my friends and family knows a bit about the computer. I really had no one to share my excitement! So I decided to come over here and share my experience with custom water cooling!

welcome to the LinusTechTips forum and please share your build specs with the community.

 

and if you have photos, you should really make a build log for other to see and share

your experiences.

I like it too thank you!

 

I chose clear coolant because someone said that dyed coolant could probably leave some bad stuff in the water cooling component over time and I also like the way clear coolant flows into the reservoir anyways!
