Ok HD tubing bended and installed

Time to add the Mayhems Pastel

Cenedd · 21 May 2016 at 16:59

16:40 no tubes.
16:45 tubes measured, bent and installed.

Damn he's fast!

Like the loop route. Can you get RAM in the sockets though?!

That is all folks, What do you guys think? I hope you like it.

Cenedd · 21 May 2016 at 17:28

Still, you got it done in an evening - that's pretty quick for a bent system. Normally much more swearing and re-bending involved!

Not sure how I missed the pastel yellow coolant in the 2nd pic of post 7! Name makes sense from there on.

snips86x · 21 May 2016 at 17:30

That's seriously tidy mate, great looking build!

rpggamesplayer · 21 May 2016 at 17:39

Thanks snips86x

cenedd yup there was a bit of swearing as i didnt have the correct rubber insert when bending,
2mm smaller as the EK ones would simply just not fit was very tight, that was a big bummer as i had to be careful about flat spots

This system looks great, so clean and well thought out with no clutter. Wish I could have a system that is so stylish and open but the dust.... it everywhere

Seriously though, how do you control dust on this and great work

stuartharrison · 21 May 2016 at 22:29

That looks really cool.
Very tidy build - I love that you did it on the fly and in one evening

Orch · 22 May 2016 at 10:32

Love it! Looks so good. Any plans to add the GPU into the loop?

And how do you find the fan noise/temps on such an open chassis?

abui1806 · 22 May 2016 at 14:52

Very very tidy looking mate. How is the temp so far?

rpggamesplayer · 22 May 2016 at 17:18

i will be adding the Gtx 1080 in the loop once arrived and purchased,
Temps are not to bad i got a 4.5ghz overclock stable 24 hour tested

30 mins of prime95 small ffts for a quick temp test

This is with the cpu de-lidded

Noise levels are virtually silent, its on the desk so dust is not an issue for the moment, (I will be bringing out my small leaf blower to rid of any dust in the future)
