First Custom Loop

[AbsoluteZero951]

So recently I decided that I would finally get around to making a custom loop which I have been wanting to do for quite awhile. Don't want to type a long winded story of all the research and video watching I did, but I got to give a shout out to the fourm members W-L and vong. 

 

The first before photos are from my Booted entry and are now the only ones I have before the current upgrade in progress.

And here it is after block, rad, and res install. Pump installation sure was fun and defiantly didn't take hours.

Thanks, I thought I should make it look good too if I'm gonna spend as much as I did to cool it.

Here's basically all the bends. Would appreciate opinions on the bend from the gpu and the one from the top rad to CPU as I had no clue how to do them and it took many attempts to get what is there

no push pull at the bottom rad? not for performance but more aesthetics, seems like there is some "dead" room.

No i'm only going to run pull on the bottom rad once the fans come, and to fill up the dead space if it is still to much I was thinking about making making a vinyl decal, or engraved metal plate of some sort to put there.

Update: 7/23/16

 

10/10 would intall pump into loop backwards again because who needs to read the manual when you're sure you know what your doing. Moral of the story Always read the manual unless you want water everywhere.

 

Now bending new runs to fix, will update when water is not everywhere and leak test is in progress.......again.
