New WC Loop

Managed to hook up the single 120 rad today
Not sure if temps improved or not
Decided to stick with the same bottom fans orientation as I still don't have few fittings to do the angled connect on it
So far looks good and more than enough room for GPU
GPU power cable is also comin from up top to save on clutter





used 2 x g1/4 45 degree phobia fittings on the cpu block
used a 20mm extention and a 90 degree phobia rotary on the top rad
used 2 x 90 degree phobia rotary on res/pump
used 20mm extention and a 90 degree rotary on a bottom rad

Things making more sense now
Just deciding on a gpu :D

Its the picture mate
I went around making sure there were no severe bending
I have another 20mm extention left, might do that once gpu is added to the loop
It will be in between the 2 rads tubes
I thought of moving fans underneath but don't have the low L fittings yet and don't think it will be a huge gain in the long run
Will just use fan guards on those fans :)
 
Trying to make myself buy a GPU
But my logic tells me not just yet :)
auction is flooded with 970s which will reduce the price as supply&demand are met
Looking at re-buying Nano, waterblocks are scares and so are the cards which means prices wont drop or by much anyway, unless NVidia drops their pascal nuke, which should be sometime next month/early june
I don't really play games now just want to finish the rig but it makes so sense to overspend for no reason
Decisions decisions..
 
Using the onboard on WOT now mate, does the job and will keep me going for a bit :)
The only thing I am considering is Nano to be honest. Tech is new-ish but the wc blocks are expensive :D
Would love to see what pascal has to offer. Maxwell will flood the auctions even more then. Especially that the rumour is they ceased the production and will rollout soon
 
Forgot to ask in regards to the thermal pads of the gpu block
Does it matter which ones I use, half mm or 1.5mm thickness wise
Also some material might be better than others
Any suggestions in regards to this?
Doubt I can use thermal paste for that
 
Today it all came alive.
I bought a gtx980 and a b-grade block
All installed. Up and running mate. Cant believe it
It worked out in the end!
