You'll take what? I paid everything else (except the inwin/heatkiller products) with my own money?  

He won't take anything. He'll just borrow it for a year or two for some extended testing....

You damn right. Its for "Research" purpose.... looking for greater answer of humanity existential crisis (and maybe some CSGO @ 1080p with 1000 fps with that 1080 ti )

Here's OCTARINE!! The project is now over after month of thinking. Hehe, I'm just joking, this is far from done, I just wanted to show you the case

[Zando_]

Looking awesome! Can't wait to see the custom loop inside that beautiful case!

[-WallyWest-]

What do you think of this loop? I have a hard time figuring something that will look good. any tips? I also need to find a place to put my drain valve

 

ps: GPU will be vertical.

[-WallyWest-]

Hey everyone! Just want to say that I didnt abandon the build. I'm still waiting for my fittings and I need to buy a radiator. Also, I'm waiting for a new set of ram that should be out soon.

Meanwhile, my 1080 ti had a huge coil whine and Zotac is sending me a replacement. I received my fan last week and my waterblock this week :D. Wow, I'm amazed by the quality of the waterblock from watercool. Those are really heavy! Thanks again to Watercool for the sponsorship, to be honest, they were my first choice for waterblock.

[-WallyWest-]

I received my new waterblock, the coolant, and two new lenses for my camera.  I'll receive my 1080 Ti tomorrow and all I'm waiting for is screws to fix the reservoir to the radiator, I should receive them next week. So next week the loop will be completed.

Wow, that res is super awesome! Is it a square one?

It's a round tube, but a square design.

Hey everyone! I received all the parts to do the loop of my build friday. Here's the GTX 1080 T, a nicer card than the founder, I still have a little bit of coil whine, but I don't have time to return it.

I tried to start my loop Friday evening, but I found out, the hard way, that the reservoir/fan/radiator combo is 5mm too long, so the GPU doesn't fit haha. After analyzing the situation, me and duality92 figured that the reservoir/fan adapter was too long.     
Consequently, this morning I downloaded and learned Fusion 360 and I did this:

I saved a wooping 22mm!! Duality92 will 3D print me the part this evening

[-WallyWest-]

I'm really proud to add Ballistix (Crucial) to this build! All my sponsors are in for this build!

I want to say big thanks to all of them. #Crucial #Ballistix #Heatkiller #watercool and especially #InWin for waiting for this build since mid-summer. You are awesome! What's more incredible is they were all my first choice for each part I asked for.

Build took longer than I tougth. Sorry for that everyone

 

[Zando_]

Awesome sauce! I have some Ballistix RAM in my PC and Crucial RAM and an SSD in my MacBook Pro, it's great stuff!

[-WallyWest-]

Received the ram yesterday! Thanks to Ballistix again. This ram sure is nice. I can boot it with 3200Mhz with 16-18-18-36. I'll try to overclock it to 3600MHz later today

Looks good too! I don't like overbuilt RAM or ones with massive fins, this looks really nice and not in your face. And the photography is 10/10!

[-WallyWest-]

I'm starting the loop! after printing like 10 brackets I'm finally proud of the result.
