One of the cards gets its new cooler and backplate :)

[Appelzaadje]

test fitting the radiator and then securing it and placing all the fan's very silent so far.

Looks awesome mate, going well with it!

[Jimstah25]

Cool looking build mate, will be a beast!

Some of the firsts shots of it working again runs a loot quieter then before xD.

The colors on the pictures look terrible i have to say shot at night and the uv looks a lot better then can be seen here ill see if i can make some better pictures.

CPU still runs a lil to hot imo dono why gues the gfx heats it up.

so far first stress test the gfx both went up to about 55 compared to like 90 or 95 on gfx 1 and 70 - 80 on gpu 2.

CPU ran up to about 47 degrees so atm it appears to only run 7 - 8 degrees cooler then my thermaltake spin-q kept it.

annyway im fairly happy with the result and will post some more pictures when its back hooked up to my screens and i got it tuned right.

I like the build dude, nice tube management and the EK block looks awesome on the card. Great all around build IMO.

[Appelzaadje]

Annyone anny clue as to why my CPU still runs hot is it that the cards drive up the temp of the water to much? stress tems run into 60 - 65 same on the cards. this is no drop in temp for the CPU however the cards do run about 30 degree's lower.

What is the flow of your loop? Like pump > vide card > cpu > rez > pump or however.

[Appelzaadje]

Res > pump > CPU > GFX > GFX > rad

[Appelzaadje]

i see the limited space between the psu and the rad as the reason for the high temps but i don't want to change the rad to an external mounting point anyone Anny input tot how much temp difference a 120mm rad in the top at the exhaust can make ?

Just added a new soundcard

[Appelzaadje]

Absolutely love this build thinking of doing the exact same case but a red color scheme with a 7990 and the Asus Sabertooth motherboard and also modding the case so I could put a quad 120mm rad in the section above the power supply housing. I'll probably be posting on the forum if you care to help me if needed. I was also wondering how hard it was to switch the LEDs I've never done anything like that but it looks like a simple solder job, any advice would be helpful. So far you are doing a great job.

i've asked this question before in the modding section. basically it's really down to 1) unsoldering the current LED and resoldering the new LED. 2) unpluging the motherboard header buying a new led and plugging that into the psu. 3) if your current LEDs are white, sharpie them to whatever color you want.

I thought so, but thanks for replying anyway this is my first build after all I will probably have a lot more questions.
