Hi all, for my first post here on Overclockers forums I wanted to show something special. I have been into building computers for the past 14 years, starting at the age of 12 as far as I remember with an old Q6600 processor which felt great at the time!

So here are the specifications and some renderings for my latest and best build so far; this is a build where no bends are allowed. The pc is made mostly for number crunching in large spreadsheets, and the occasional rendering and gaming. No RGB, but I can cope with less FPS because of this :)

Main components:
CPU: Ryzen 9 3900x
GPU: EVGA RTX 2080 Super XC Ultra Gaming
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero
Ram: 16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum @ 3200Mhz
Storage: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500gb
PSU: Corsair RM1000i
Case: Lian Li PC-011dynamic
Fans: Noctua Industrial Fan 2000rpm x6
Watercooling:
EK-Coolstream PE 360 x2
EK-Vector RTX 2080 block and backplate
EK-Quantum Kinetic FLT 240 D5 reservoir+pump combo
EK-Quantum MOmentum ROG Corsshair VIII Hero MonoBlock
A boat load of fittings and angled adapters to achieve no bends loops
Loop order for reference: PUMP->Bottom Radiator->GPU->Top Radiator->Monoblock->Pump

I hope you like it; I would love to hear your comments and any recommendations since this is my first attempt at rigid tubing water cooling, but sure as hell it shouldn't be a rocket science thing to do! I am still undecided on whether to go with acrylic or stainless tubing, both look equally pleasing to my eyes.

looks good! thought about the Master board, slightly cheaper- beefier vrm and UK RMA. Also wifi as standard

look at sabrent rocket for NVMe storage or

slightly more but double the storage
 
I have tried going with MSI only once in the past 14 years, and I had to RMA it, might be just tough luck, but I will stick to the overpriced ASUS once again! As for the SSD, I have tested the samsung ones for some time now, and anyway this wasn't a budget build so here we are! Thank you for the suggestions anyhow ;)

Edit: Sorry this was a Gigabyte board you recommended. Unfortunately, ASUS Rog Hero and Strix Gaming-E were the only X570 with monoblocks available from EKWB, so the motherboard was an easy choice.
 
That's sexy AF!!!!

I'd go with glass tubing if it was me but don't suppose it matters if there's no rgb lol
 
Thanks a lot; greatly appreciate your feedback, I think I will go with acrylic for the tubing for now since it will be nice showing the solid white fluid that I plan on filling it with. Pictures of the actual build to follow tomorrow most likely, stay tuned!
 
Sick. I'm doing everything inside 360 and importing STEP files from GrabCAD for items I really don't want to model myself :D

Click to expand...

Bit power make a damn good Master mono block along with Asus line . Outs EKWB to shame But hard to get here :(
 
I really like it... only one thing I'd say though is the brown corners on the fans take something away from it.
