(Updated) Just Finished off first watercooled Rig

[V1RK]

Updates (23/05/2014)

Made a few changes to the build

• Case colour is white used spray paint, I have another 750d which will be air brushed so did temporary spray paint to see what it looked like on main case
• Changed motherboard to MSI Z77 Big Bang M Power OC board 
• Used slighlty thinner tubing 
• Using XSPC 360 Crossflow Rad with two fans only, third will be added but due to dual resbay up top still need to change
• Using XSPC EC6 UV Blue
• Sharkoon UV lights
• XSPC LCD watercooling montior 
• Additional SSD added which is Crucial M500 240GB 
• NZXT Sentry LXE fan controller
• Dual monitors- First is LG27EA63 and second is Asus VE278H

Update (24/10/2013)

Will be installing another ssd OCZ Solid 3 120 which I already have and 2 additional drives for storage 2TB Seagate & 3TB Toshiba drive.

Changed the case over to the Corsair 750d, still making changes atm due to leak but will have it fixed by the weekend.

I've attached the latest picture of what the case currently looks like with everything in

Ma bad i7 2700k, i got my i5 2500k here in another build

I know got different colours on order tho, just testing everything out and swapping parts between my other rigs 

[KamiKatze]

I think the coolant is dyed? mrpants is right, if i were you I'd refill it with red or blue dyed coolant. I personally would prefer clear but it's totally up to you.

That looks great, but i do not like these fans outside of case.

Also your SSD looks is really well mounted...

[KamiKatze]

@V1RK

Had you difficulty mounting the rad in the top, what size is it? what size of fans are on it? would bigger ones fit too? Like wide 120mm fans for example. This build gives me hope that i might do another build in the future with my R4 and custom loop it.

 240 rad in push and pull, issue was the cpu the plug so had to move to one side and the fan size is 120mm, it was a pain to install but managed it in the end because mounting need to be offset. Had no mounting issues in my nzxt phantom 410 case but that had clearance

Had to try something different because was unable to mount push/pull on the side rad due to spacing and push/pull wouldn't have worked inside either, with the ssd just had to move far enough for it to sit on the plate

Looks good but I dislike the pink in the reservoir. The build would look much better if it was red but that's just my opinion.

Okay i have seen some R4 liquid builds where people said they had to mount it slightly offset. How thick is the rad? Could you possibly mount a thicker one or would this interfere with e.g. you RAM

Yeah you have to mount offset, the rad thickness is 35.5mm, erm looking at doubt you would be able to get a thicker rad upto because the you wont be able to mount fans

Ive got sky blue and red on order, wanted to mix the pink with blue to get it purple but the colours didn't arrive on time, motherboard planned to use was asus z68 pro v which i had in there but changed it last min 

[Monty007]

great build.  The one thing that concerns me is why didn't you take a more direct approach for the section of the loop going from the cpu block to the gpu block?  That seems really unneccessary as you could have simply gone in from the top port of the GPU block.  Other than that, I like it.  I especially like the placement and mounting of your res/pump combo on the inside of the case.

[Giancarlo124]

Nice build man.

Thanks, problem was that when trying to screw the compression, the threads was uneven on both top ports (had same problem with barbs) which is why i used the bottom ports. I would have preferred to mount at the top would looked better

[V1RK]

Nice build man.

Thanks man 

[Emkryan]

Given that this is a Define R4. I expected better cable and tubing runs. No reason to look like such a mess in there

[Viking Kong]

I like it. 

But why pink?
