hard tube => soft tube

[abui1806]

Hi lads,

So basically after nearly 2 years running a hard tube system I have decided to rebuild it with soft tubing. The main reason is that I got bored out of it really. So I decided to run a parallel setup with a single 480mm of EK Coolstream PE raditor at the front and get rid of the 360. I also replaced some Parvum systems F1.0 fans with EK vardar F4 ER (2200rpm) white fans.

This is the original build:

Spoiler

This is it now:

The front fans + rad system. It is in charge of cooling an 5820K @ 4.5Ghz (1.22v) and 2 gtx 970 HOF's.

Got to make use of what you have eh

Well this may sound simple but in a clumsy hand like mine it did took me 3 hours to finish.

Hope you enjoy this little project.
Until next time!

Very tidy mate, nice work - personal taste probably but I much prefer the more subtle colour schemes and you've done a great job on yours!

Thanks a lot for the kind words!

10/10 love the soft tubing setup, again, its a personal thing, but as with my last few WC builds, I just prefer the look of it, but ... will be doing a HTPC with hard tubing in the new year ( just to say I've done it ).

P.S. How's that flow meter working out, I seen a couple of reports of those leaking/cracking and gave it a miss ( dual loop at present didn't want the extra hassle if a problem occured ).

The flow meter does have crack signs quite badly indeed. It also did leak a little, I had to resit the o-rings and tighten it a little, quite a pain really but it has been working fine since then.
Thanks for the compliment!
