That's really nice, you have me wanting to changing my watercooling setup to rigid tubing.

Love the orange/black combo

 

[Rainagul]

Thanks for the nice comments guys! I have managed to get my 780ti in and what should have taken around 10 minutes to slot the new card in, remove AMD related software and install nvidia drivers took me over 18 hours to get back right.
First of all the AMD Clean Uninstall software decided it wanted to purge my PC of every driver... Up to and including the wireless card, Intel Chipset Driver, All Mobo Drivers, Mouse, keyboard and also Realtek audio. It also removed all restore points for some reason. The computer wouldn't do anything even in safe mode which prompted me to whack in my windows OEM disc & reinstall windows then update with new drivers. Before realising I accidentally used the 32-bit version, uninstall again, reinstall 64-bit version. Rinse and repeat with drivers. It was a very, very long night.


Anyway here is the 780ti.


I also bought the EVGA backplate as I i believe it just adds a sleek finished look to the card.


So small next to the matrix







And here it is, with the new Graphics card in place

That bending job is sick!
Looks beautiful
Love the orange the rig looks so much better!
How was the rad to the top of the res done?
Are those also measuring equipment you get to?

Thanks mate, the rad to top of resevoir was done with the 45degree mandrel to get the pipe up then another 45 to get it flat, I then use the 90degree to get both of the following bends.

AWESOME. That's the first step by step guide I've seen on bending and fitting Acrylic tube, and I must say you'd made it look a lot easier than I thought it'd be, GREAT GUIDE and that's a sweet rig that mate.
What's happening to ya Matrix card when you get your 780Ti? I've got the same card and love it

Selling off my matrix on some classified pages. PM me if you want any info.


Hope you enjoy

looks sweet. Never seen a kit before, where did you get it from?

Get that GPU under water too.

 

[Shimz]

Looks great, I want to try this on my PC but I cant justify the upgrade until some games break it xD

 

[jimbaw]

Looks so good! You'll need to water cool that gpu though

Currently 2 hours into a burn test with 4.5GHz @ 1.17vCore.

[Will Gill]

Awesome work, I must now go and purchase an acrylic bending kit ASAP

 

[JoeF1]

[TheyCallMeAndy]

Wow looks so much better, i might sound retarded but how did you actually like specifically find the angles and the lengths needed?

 

[BattFink]

You have no set up your trust...

Can't send you any PM

 

[Hukkel]

Your bending looks great. I love the cpu loop going parrallel and then both in a different direction.

Too bad the motherboard tray is orange. Now the coolant kinda dissappears in the background.

Looking good mate. I've just received the Monsoon full kit yesterday, I'm just waiting on the fittings, to make a start.
