I have been planning this for about a year now and its almost ready.

RGB strips                  (Have)

Cables                        (Have)

AX1200                      (In Use)

Zotac ArcticStorm 1080 (In Use)

What I still need to get:

i9-7980xe

Coolent - still working on deciding this one

2xThermaltake pump/res

2xAlphacool 60mm RGB ring

2x512gb SSD

 

Maybes

Alphacool 16mm RGB ring

Still trying to think of a good loop layout...

Also for good coolant

Which color is the question?

Also is it stable?

[andrewmp6]

And he will only use that coolant after having problems with mayhems.Their site says its good 4 to 6 months,But that video he ran it for 2 months and used that pc a lot.

Everything is here and ready.

I ended up going with 1 512 gb ssd instead of 2.

The i9-7980xe is delided.

 

 

It was kinda a pain to get that monoblock on. You really need a second set of hands.

More images to come as more progress gets made.

Motherboard ended up being dead. But, this is a picture from before I took it out. 

I couldn't get the caps off the tube res. So, no rgb ring.

Coolant is cleaner, will replace when I get replacement board.

I had to send the motherboard back TWICE. The first time they told me it worked and was fine. Which it was not and after buying another power supply, testing with my friends ram, and RMAing the CPU, they asked for the board again. They then sent me a new one which ended up working. So, after 3 months of work, this is almost my finished build.

 

Specs:

CPU: i9-7980xe - 4.2ghz (delidded)

RAM: 64gb 3000mhz Gskill trident z

MB:   Rampage VI extreme

GPU: zotac arcticstorm gtx 1080 - 2000mhz

SSD: Samsung 960 pro 512gb

PSU: AX1600i

Case: Tower 900

 

Watercooling components are the same except for the silver VUE coolant.

 

Still trying to work with aura sync to get a nice color...

Also thinking of getting some better fans for the front section as my SSD gets a bit warm at 50C.

Damn, nice computer.  What are you using it for? I find it odd that you have a 7980xe and then a single normal 1080.

Some ray tracing stuff.

I would have a 1080ti but, I got the 1080 before it came out.

I also am not a fan of SLI after it not working anything in my last build.

Never got the appeal of that behemoth of a case, and probably never will.

And that's why you test your components before you put them in a loop.

I wanted to get it at first, but it's so hard to fill up

 

Anyway, nice looking build. As for using Vue, I hope luck's on your side

I dont have an AIO, air cooler, or extra soft tubing.

No way to test
