Super clean mate, very nice build!

Those hard tubing runs are perfection! I'd love to give a modern water cooling build a try, last time I gave it a try pond pumps were the go to haha

ha im no pro but just got some jigs and did few goes i think i wasted a couple of packs but after that got the nack.

Some photos and videos of it running on the thread!

Main issue was the Crucial T700 - never buying crucial agian.

Looks great! I used the O11 DYNAMIC EVO RGB so the smaller brother. Do you also find that you can't reach the internal USB hub/CMOS without having to drain + take apart the loop? That's the only PITA I have so far, otherwise I'm very happy with it

i havnt drained it yet, mind you on my last system i didnt drain it for 3 years and still ran like day one temps. lol

doesn't look ver

(orange/black scheme)

Doesn't look very orange and black to me, so you built a computer, extraordinary, well done!!
out of interest, why do you need to liquid cool it, what hot parts are you putting in there?

GPU & CPU - amd runs hot

CPU - amd runs hot

answer the question, what parts?
theere are plently of AMD's line up that don't get hot enough to warrant a liquid cooled rig

Ah good to know Yeah I'm hoping for the same now that everything is set up and all is fine. I had RAM issues so needed to reset the CMOS initially to test settings and that was a pain, also when I realised the Lian Li controller needs to be plugged into the internal header directly otherwise it wouldn't work (i.e. when using a USB hub)

Parts are all listed and photo’s in this thread. AMD runs way hotter then my intel systems

Very nice

Looks really nice. Good eye for detail

nic ebuild.

I get more excited about a zero rgb build now, some blacked out stealthy looking build looks so classy imo.

indeed, the only RGBs people should add is the colour syncing ones that go on the back on a monitor or desk and illuminate the wall so its like the colour bleeds from the monitor and lights the room

nice build freeman would be proud. love them tubes fingers crossed valve give us HL3 one day

 

[moppy89]

Absolutely love a hard line tube and I'm digging the frosted look. Very clean bends and tube runs, nice job

Gotta agree that it didn't exactly scream HL2 to me, but still a lovely looking build
