Umm...  Screw the badass water cooled PC.  Is that moon shine on your desk?  

 

 

 

 

HAHA. I wish I were that cool. It's just water. I take meds that make me really dehydrated so I drink water from big mason jars so I don't have to refill as often.

If you were to accidentally grab that same jar around my house it may just set your face on fire!!  One of these jars is probably strong enough to heat a house in Alaska for a month.  

 

Your build looks great man.

Thanks! I would like to do hard petg tubing eventually, but that's even more expensive. I'll be taking my build to quakecon this year I think since it's so close to where I live.

Most of my water-cooling parts will be here today. Delidding stuff tomorrow.  1080ti got here last night!! I managed to hit 2088 MHz stable on the core. Not the best but pretty good OC! Hype intensifies.

something I noticed on one of the pictures, one of the tubes is pinched really bad and could be part of the flow issue you are having with temps.  You should put a 90 degree or a 45 degree connector there or rerun that tube.

Nah It was bad before the kink. I'm replacing all the tubing with primochill this weekend. That kink only happened when I moved the pump.

Got some parts in! I wish my liquid ultra was here too so I could delid today!

I now regret not purchasing a drain valve to make this weekend easier. I'll pretty much have to remove my current loop from the system before draining it.

You don't have to remove everything.  Just open the top of your reservoir and tilt the case as the reservoir fluid dumps into a large bowl or cup.  Tilt it enough that most of the fluid comes out of the lines connected to the pump section.  Once you've drained the reservoir, place a towel below the fittings connect to the pump and disconnect the longest one.  Once it's disconnected, place it so that it drains into the same bowl or cup and continue to move the case allowing more fluid to escape the loop.  

 

You're never going to be able to get all of the fluid out of the loop, so always place a towel under any fitting that your are about to disconnect.  Good luck man.

Thanks for the tip. I just placed another Amazon Order for same day delivery anyhow because I want this to be easy when I clean it in 6 months or so.

Excellent call!

 

I setup mine to drain straight out of the center of the bottom of the case via a pass through fitting.  Way too easy to drain my loop now.

Build complete!!! Took me all freaking night but it's done and it's beautiful.

very nice man!!  Make sure to keep an eye on the pastel coolant.  Everything I have read says it likes to block up the blocks given time.

I'm going to use clear fluid after quakecon.

Just for added information.  I've been running EK white pastel fluid for over a year without issues at all.

Be interesting to see how it is upon flushing or tear down.
