This is my first ever attempt at water cooling, so I thought I would share it with you.

I will be adding some orange LED's at some point to give it some glow

My only leak is in the res. Where the clear plastic screws onto the base of the pump it finds it's way up the thread and some times leaks slowly hence the kitchen towel. It is screwed on tight. It's not leaked in a while but if it continues then I will have to use some tape

Leak fixed! Used some Teflon tape to seal the thread. Working great!

Got my leaky res back and got some different coolant and some LED's

Updated!

It's meant to be orange

I must admit, when the fluid arrived it looked red. in the loop however it looks orange. just a very dark orange compared to the mayhems. I used Aqua computer DP UltraII- orange

my idle temps. Seems quite high. I was getting about 25-30 with the mayhems

Maybe the thermal paste needs re doing. The tubs are not warm at all though while gaming, Played battlefield 3 for an hour and it never got above 44 degrees

Well I just had to RMA my HX850 so that machine is down. Using my backup system.

As for the fans. You can't put them below the rad as there is no room.

Nice tidy Job for your first ottempt but I personally don't like the orange with the other colours.

Thanks. Also, I wanted the UP7 but it's a little bit expensive at the moment and when I chose the motherboard I went for price/performance rather than colour scheme
