First time water cooling set up

[al_evo]

First attempt at water cooling. Went horribly wrong, water everywhere, all over components , motherboard you name it . Dried it all out, booted fine, no issues for 2 months now credit to XSPC coolant , thanks for not killing my system!

Nice setup...

I just done my first water cooled loop as well, its all a bit of
a learning curve

I presume your rig was not powered when you had the leak ?

 

[al_evo]

Luckily no. It didn't leak i had just left the XSPC plate off the cpu , probably not essential, and had to remove the tubes to refit it! But yea it is a big learning curve but very rewarding! Next build i'll do the gfx and get a bigger rad.

What kit did you get?

Looks nice and clean, especially with the colour scheme

The kit looks clean. Is it just me or is that graphics card a bit bent (no pun intended)

Well done sir. I completely soaked my psu on my first attempt too. Kudos for having the balls to make the jump. You have my respect.

I didn't get a kit (would have probably saved me money), only because I wanted a white cpu block and white tubing.

So I ended up buying it all separately.

This is my setup :

I think thicker tubing would look better
