looks great so far, as a watercooling nub whats the reason for starting on larger tubing to go down a size for the 2nd phase?

No sensible reason M8 i just had the barbs and tubing lying around so I thought id use them. Theres no reason I couldnt use 1/2" for the second loop either but Id like to use 3/8 as I have quite a few close fitting barbs (ask anyone whos plumbed a Dtek Fusion block on 1/2" and see what a pain it is).

Small update becuase I couldnt resist rigging up some lighting just to check

Btw whats everyone think about black tubing with red coils and red tubing with black coils for the final build?

WOW

thats amazing

Stunning mate, well done!

sharpygsxr · 21 Oct 2008 at 20:43

wow love the looks of that , hows the temps?

The colours you suggested sound good, i also reckon that yellow you have there would look great with black coils

Temps are fine came in exactly as I expected but will be much better when the gpu is on another loop. I dont really like the orange I have now as you just said it looks yellow and in the daylight its a dirty yellow to

Mental note to myself:- Make sure the next Graphics card you buy has a black pcb.

Thankyou all for the positive comments

Yeah as above the MB is a Maximus Formula SE.

Quick update, Window and first fans holes are cut.

Please note I still have to apply the trim and shift the rad a little as I made some last minute changes, I also have to buy the acrylic lol!

Pretty happy I decided to do the holes rarther than just a oblong grill as the effect looks good to me

Next update will be a couple of weeks now Im afraid but all feedback/suggestion's will be welcome in the meantime!

Yeah I did, You can insert any long string of random swear words here if you like

Bradley8988 · 22 Oct 2008 at 17:19

What did you use to cut them?

Cotti · 22 Oct 2008 at 18:10

121mm hole saw but it would have been easier just to jigsaw then out tbh!
