Skynet - Upgrade to a Custom Loop

[GettinBissi]

Here is the photo log of my upgrade to a full custom loop.

 

Part 1

 

 

Part 2 - I decided to re-do the tube that was in front of the reservoir.

 

 

The whole setup

What desk is that? And where did you get your watercooling components?

The desk is a black Galant with chrome legs from Ikea. All the water cooling stuff is EK purchased from a local Micro Center.

Much cooler. Before my 1080 would peak in the low to mid 80s with the default fan profile and my CPU would push up into the low 90s (at 4.4 GHz 1.26v). Now my GPU stays in the 40s and my CPU stays under 70 under full stress testing. Idle is way down too, the GPU idles at 31/32 and the CPU idles in the high 20s. And it does all that with a fan curve that peaks my Noctuas at a cap of 70%.
