So I'm building a new rig after I lost mine to Louisiana floods. In going to run duel loops mostly for aesthetic reasons. I'm a big star wars fan so I'm doing a light/dark side rig. I want each loop to use two of the following colors so that I can switch between it looking blue/white and black/red my conundrum is 1. I cant find black coolant. 2. I was thinking cpu/ram loop alternate between white and red and the gpu loop alternate blue and black. Is their a better way to do the color combo because of availability of led colors and coolant colors? And 3. Should I use transparent coolant or opaque with less? Looks like for the white red side transparent looks better and idk about black blue as I domy know if their is black coolant/dye that can also look blue with right led.

 

My build is gonna consist of the following any tips on this is also appreciated.

 

Case: Corsair 900d or thermaltake p7 I dont know yet, suggestion?

Cpu: intel core i7 7700k (might delid depending on oc temps b4 I delid)

Mobo: asus maximus ix extreme

Memory: not sure yet but I'm doing 64 gb and trying for 4133 mhz or as close to that as I can. Suggestions?

Storage: m.2 Samsung 256 gb x2 or a 512 gb

Cooling: going mostly thermaltake liquid cooling stuff

Gpu: asus 1080 ti 11 gb overclocked edition x2

Psu: corsair or thermaltake 1000w

And ill prob get some asus blue ray writer

 

I plan on running 2 monitors in beginning thinking some nice 27" curved screens and adding to smaller ones later. And yes I will SLI my gpu's.

So what I would do is  use the cpu and ram loop for light side. use white hardware and blue coolant. For the dark side loop use black hardware and red coolant. now for the back of the case as in the stuff behind the loops you need to paint the backing with non conductive white, blue, black, and red paint. Also I prefer the corsair 900d. Thats just a me thing.

A smile goes much farther than the person it's meant for.

First impressions are important, it sets the stage for respect.
