Hi guys,

Here is my second build log with watercooling. My first build log was this
http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18660015

Update:
25/01/2016: Change of plan, will be getting the R9 Nano instead of the Fury. Also, still waiting for the guys at Parvum systems to make a customised front panels.

The main colour scheme of this system will be black and red.
The specs is as follow:
1. Intel Core i7 6700K
2. Asus Maximus VIII Gene
3. Klevv Cras 4x4GB 3000Mhz Red DDR4
4. Sapphire R9 Fury
5. EVGA G2 550W
5. Samsung 840 evo

Watercooling specs:
1. D5 pump
2. EK Coolstream PE 240mm
3. Darkside Gentle Typhoon 1850RPM PWM Black
4. EK Supremacy Original CSQ CPU block
5. EK R9 Fury X Copper Acetal
6. Parvum system S2.5 Black Friday Edition

Let's see how a 240mm push only setup handles 2 heat outputs (total TDP = 366W).

I was inspired by Kurpiewski Concept from this picture below.

The graphics card


soft tube is inspiring sometimes.





This ram looks nice


This is it so far

The res/rad/fan/pump combo works really well! Does it mount correctly as i remember not all 240mm rads fit perfectly on the parvum s2 for some reason? And a lot of folks went for 2x120mm rads

Curious for mine as this may fix an issue of were the hell to mount a res and pump without drilling the base to secure it

Just a thought? Will a res work with only one pipe in/out. Or will it just act as pressure on the system and drip in if needed?

You are perfectly right! The original S2/S2.5 mounting holes cant take this setup. I got to ask Parvum Systems for a customised front panel just to fix this problem. Here is the sketch.


As you can see it got to move to the left by 2.5cm and up by 1.5cm. Otherwise things won't be in place.

For your second point, I believe it will just act as pressure and continue to supply liquid to the pump when it needs.

Aye i thought it was that, do your holes align correctly though for just the rad alone? For all 8 mounting screws or do you find them slightly out. To say if u wasn't mounting a pump combo on it and just 2 fans it would fit

It is a bit out, a margin of error I would say but if it takes 5-6 out of 8 screws then it won't be a problem I believe.
For this project I use 2x Alpenfohn Wing Boost 2, which is the same as parvum system F1.0 fan, on top. I also did try to fit the EK Vardar in the front and it fitted just fine there. As if you only mount fans, the holes are perfectly good.
 
Update 11/02/2016:

  • Intel refused to RMA the CPU since it was bought in Vietnam. I got to send it all the way back VN for the warranty. I guess I will just buy a 6700K from here while waiting for the replacement and sell it when it's back.
  • Parvum Systems promised to post the customised parts on Monday 1/02/2015. Then they postponed it to 4-5/02/2015. I haven't received it up till now. :(

Poor of Intel but i guess understandable.

Parvum lads are good but with there offer they had other week on new case range id imagine there swamped with orders off there own website!

Yeah I agree. Parvum only has 4 members of staff if I'm not mistaken. :(
 
Update 12/02/2016:
  • Getting the customised front panels from Parvum Systems soon(TM).
  • Also getting a new 6700K early next week.

In the mean time, some more photos of the new parts arrived today.

Alpenfohn Wing Boost 2 Black and Red fans together with Silverstone ultra fine 120mm fan filters for the top cover.
I used Parvum system F1.0 performance fans for my 1st project, this Alpenfohn is essentially the same thing only the colour is different. These fan for me is well suited with Parvums cases and very silent since the whole frame is made from rubber.
The filter is very thin and fine. This would help me save sometime from cleaning the case once in a while since I'm kinda lazy.




 
Update 19/02/2016:
  • Finally received the customised front panels from the guys at Parvum. Well made stuffs!
  • Also got a new CPU and a couple of fittings arrived.
Let's check out some new pictures of the build.

Front panels arrived.



I found a fan controller from my ASUS X99 Deluxe which I didn't use in the last project. Luckily, the motherboard for this project does support this piece. This build has 4 fans and a pump, this controller certainly helps a lot.


If you want to utilize this kit, remember you would need M3 screws and nuts for it. M4 is too big.


This is it so far. Will give some more update tomorrow (hopefully).


PS: I am looking for some sort of extra large microfibre towel or A0 paper for the background to do some proper photograph of the build. I am new to this photography field, certainly would need a lot of helps + tips from you guys. Any recommendation is appreciated. Thanks a lot! :D
