Good job on the build. :cool:

That drain valve is great and I'll do that on my build.

I'm trying to work out how you loop works. What is connected here:

Bottom of the gpu block. I've just not fitted it in the photo. Thanks

Really nice build this one, Frosty. Great job

When I get my second 780 I should probably consider putting them under water, those temperatures are just so tempting

Cheers

TBH Water makes so much sense and now the Mrs doesn't have to hear 3 Ti fans screaming away in the evening

Does anyone know where I can get a side panel for a 900d in the UK?

Seen them in stock on the Corsair site and about $90 for shipping. Maybe OcUK can get one.

Dayum.

Need my camera back, but here's another shot I've just taken on the phone. Waiting on 2.5" adapters for the SSDs to mount properly and a white LED strip for the bottom / side.

Looking very nice Mr Frosty - now how about some decent pics so we can really see it in all its glory. I was going to say a proud job,by a proud man, who must be really proud of his efforts.Now where's my sick bucket Lol.

Cheers mate. QD3s.

off tubing

and 1/4G threaded males on rads / GPU block. I decided not to fit them directly to the CPU block as frankly I wasn't happy even with the push pull how much pressure I was having to apply on top of the CPU.

On the subject of QD3s these just arrived. It's just a female to female ring to two 1/4G threaded male QD3s, in the event I need to remove the GPUS from the loop entirely

Fitting Silverstone white LED strip to light up the case a little...

Idle water temps after being on all day...

Silent_Scone · 5 Feb 2014 at 10:21

Small update:

Purchased another XSPC (green) temp monitor to keep a check on air temps before they leave the case.

Also finally got around to buying a three way EVGA SLi bridge

Quick shot with the Silverstone LED strip fitted near top radiator.

Silent_Scone · 7 Feb 2014 at 17:44

EVGA bridge arrived, and also fitted another temp monitor for ambient case temps. Green for air, blue for water

. Idle

Also I've decided to cut into the side panel and fit a 230mm fan for an intake. The apparent downfall of maximising all inlets with rads is there isn't much in the way of cool air getting in.

For the most part it's not a problem, but after a heavy stint on Tomb Raider it became apparent that the inside was starting to suffer a tiny bit. Hopefully should get that cut and done over the weekend
