First Water Project: The Mad Titan

Rasphelt · 3 Aug 2016 at 08:04

UPDATE: 2 x Titan X (Pascal) cards ordered.
Just need to wait for the EK water blocks now!

I may change the colour scheme of the build, and will definitely re-bend the GPU loop and will put the pipes out the bottom of both reservoirs directly through the light box.

PLEASE GIVE SUGGESTIONS ON COLOUR SCHEMES!

Cheers

Update: EK Full cover Acetal+Nickel blocks ordered along with an acetal EK-FC Terminal TRIPLE Parallel... for that stealthy look....

I really cant decide on colour scheme... I do know that I am not happy with how it looks now... HELP!

Cheers

I think the purple that's with the yellow in the cables works. The coolant and the lightning doesn't really go. Can you change the lighting colour easily?

Yup, all rgb so would be very easy! What are you thinking mate?

I was just thinking that since the cable colours look good, if you can change the lighting to match (try purple, yellow or white) then the coolant could just be a matter of chating to Mayhems to work out how to get a match.

Update: Out with the new and in with the newer!

Now just waiting on blocks!

Very nice. Is that yellow staining in the blocks or has it just not drained completely? Just curious as to how justified my anti-colouring paranoia is

Thanks mate, I am also interested to know how they do...

Both the blocks and back plates have been shipped so should be here tomorrow!

Quick update: Project SnowBlind is coming to a close, this will free up The Mad Titan to be worked on again!

To do:
Install water blocked Titans, back plates and new FC
Install new custom acrylic (Blue)
Install new custom cables (Blue)
Equip light box with RGB lighting
Redo all bends and feed vertically from resevoirs, through light box, to pumps
Switch out liquid for non-pastel blue and yellow fluid
Install UV strips
Tidy up cables etc

Cheers guys!
More updates to follow next week once she is apart!

Ok, another quick update:

As my second project is now in a useable (although not finished!) state, I have taken my beast apart again to make the changes above. I am about to remove the last two radiators and give them a thorough flushing - then tomorrow I will start the modifications for the new water tubing routes:

I have also blocked both the Titan's and am looking forward to the more stealthy look of the EK Acetal Terminal too!

I am changing out the fans too... Watch this space...

The remod of all the colour, parts, custom bits and bobs and cables should be finished next week!

Cheers

Thanks man, I had a bit of a nightmare with the bends and then the pastel colours didn't look as I wanted them to... So I am back stripping her down again! It has been a learning experience that's for sure!

how did you get all 8 sticks of am to work ? i am correct in saying you have 2 x separate kits of 64GB so 8 x 16GB kits .

i cant get 8 sticks of 4GB 3000mhz to run on mine , (godlike) bios 1.7 .

i can get 2666mhz to run perfectly with all 8 sticks . 2 x kits of 4x4GB Avexir red

i also can not get any ram sticks be it 1-4 sticks in any even number slot . even having 2,4,6,8 slots occupied the board wont even post to say overclock failure and just get the Debug codes for no ram detected on the board digi display.
