Hi Sorry I was half drunk when I made this thread last night lol. Not very well compiled.

I own all of the links in my op. I have 8 of them fittings.

I need more fittings I expect.

It's to cool a 5820k.

I'd like a nice cylinder reservoir I think. I'm gonna hold off on cooling graphics card until Pascal comes out.

So I guess what I'm asking is what reservoir and additional fittings do I need? Plan is a grey/green build I think.
 
Well Ive used what stuff I had today and had a little go. Its not the best looking as acrylic will be used in future. But for £90 for what I've installed I guess it looks okay.

I'll buy some more fans this week for the radiator, but in the meantime I'll use some other ones I have temporarily. Gonna go to Halfords tomorrow to buy some Battery Water, which I hear is a fine option for coolant.

Ive got mayhems additive stuff to put in and check PH levels etc.

My first ever attempt, I just hope it doesnt leak :D

Can't really grumble with that for £90!

I'd probably give your rad a clean! :D

Get the pump hidden and move it up so that you don't have quite so long tubing to neaten things up a little.

I've got halfords battery water and mayhems XT in mine, everything seems to be fine so far.

It's just downhill from here and costs more and more money :(
 
I didn't know where else to put the pump/res due the outlet going straight up. I'd looked into the drive bay but it seemed more awkward.

I'm not even sure if the place I mounted it was designed for it but I kinda bodged the bracket on there with some cable ties :)

The rad didn't look that dusty until damn camera flashed lol.

I'm gonna order them cheap fans from ocuk I think. 3 for 15 quid or something.
 
Aye it's a bit crazy green to be honest. I'm gonna reign it in a bit in future. I just grabbed that tube thinking it would be good but I think I'm gonna go for a grey and green scheme in future.

Gonna braid cables etc this week I think.
 
Well its filled and has been bled. Doesnt look too bad overall but ill definitely be improving it later.

Just gotta get windows installed on it. I lost my damn usb stick cos its so damn small. How frustrating!
 
Cant believe its taken me so long to do this.

My 5820k is idling at 25c and I only have 1 x 120mm fan on the radiator. Rest of my case fans are currently off. Its silent and wonderful :)

Will have some more fans delivered soon and start to overclock etc.

All air is out of system and its all going nicely. Very impressed :)
