My first watercooled PC

[Watlinguk]

So I decided to build my first watercooled system!

It's nearly where I want it to be. It's taken a lot long than anticipated and I'll most certainly do things differently on my next attempt (including that bottom 45 degree tube )

This is a full EK system. I originally had the Lian Li distro plate but this had a faulty leaky pump.

Thanks for reading. Any feedback for improvements welcomed!

Yours looks amazing buddy. I love the white theme!!!

Yeah absolutely. That will be the first thing I change when I bleed it next. I'd lost so much will power at the end of this that I decided to keep it

Temps are pretty good. Got a nice overclock on the cpu and GPU.

Only tested in game temperatures but the GPU sits at 40-45 and the CPU at 50-55. Super silent baring some coil whine from the GPU.

Looks awesome, currently considering building my first loop and looking at parts, thinking I might just start with the CPU first.

How nerve wracking was it installing the GPU water block ? any sleepless nights ? Thats the only bit that concerns me really. I plan on upgrading my current GPU so wouldn't do it to this one, but not sure how comfortable I would feel taking a new 1 apart considering what they cost.

Thanks buddy. It's honestly not that bad. With it being the first time I was really cautious about everything I did.

I think the worst part on this build was everything was in bits for a good week. I couldn't test anything. The anxiety certainly kicked in a few times
