If i were you i'd test all the components beforehand, don't wanna put all that together and figure out theres a fault

but looks like a beast in the making, good luck

I intend to run on air first

while flushing the rads. Install windows run some tests then start installing the parts into the case after that.

Sounds like this is going to be an absolute monster!

So I rang today and was told the entire order was ready to go and would be pushed through for Monday delivery after the order being held back.

Look at my messages in the support forum now lol and all of a sudden another message saying that my water blocks have caused my order to be put on hold.. I ordered this like a week ago how can stuff keep going out of stock -_-

May not even get delivery on monday!! :mad:

Curses!!

Ugh.

Feel your pain mate i am waiting on some xspc compression fittings and god i hate waiting lol, good luck on your build looks tasty : )

I have changed the Pump/Res to the
(EK Water Blocks EK-D5 Vario X-RES 140 (incl. pump) https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-411-EK

This was mainly due to the tank for the D5 combo being out of stock, either way I think Ive picked something a little nicer Opinions?

I may mount this on the front of the case instead of the rear im not sure lol. Also changed the waterblock on the graphics card as the one I originally ordered was out of stock :eek:

Finally getting somewhere I should receive my order tuesday or wednesday! a week later but better late then never.

Hey bud the fittings all came with the O rings off I can guess that one o ring goes under the barb were it screws in and Im guessing that the second O ring is a spare?

Hmm just noticed that there is no caps for the threads on the waterblock so when I have the in out fitted there will be two open ports on the graphics card block.

I have not looked in the box but I assume the stop caps are in the waterblock box?

Hmm

Allnamestaken · 18 Dec 2013 at 20:33

Update for you all

-

So here are all the parts minus the case lol...

Uff look at this botherboard

Got everything unboxed and have just installed windows running some tests on the cpu and ram. EWWWW Intel stock cooler and 8800GT ewww.. The card is blocked so im not going to do that till the card is in the loop. Do you guys have any suggestions regarding test programs for stress testing?

4

Last but not least some ghetto Radiator flushing haha.

Will post more pics in the next hour or so

my hope is that I may be able to plan my loop tonight if I push it late I may be able to install it but I may just setup on air for tonight.

hakank68 · 18 Dec 2013 at 20:42

that is a great idea ^. i will surely be doing that next time

Allnamestaken · 18 Dec 2013 at 21:08

I think I made a booboo guys I bought a multi port radiator lol.

I have no stop caps O_O other then the ones for my pump and gpu >_>
Any ideas lol? These plastic ones will obv leak.

Update -

Spent most of the evening testing my hardware flushing the rad then to find I had a multi port rad with no stop fittings! so what im doing at the moment is setting up the case and planning the loop minus the 240 untill friday.

Mmmm EK waterblocks

Mounted lol

Rad in and graphics card to see my clearance.

Heres one of the orientations i tried out before i settled for a standard compression and a 60 degree turn for the cpu to gpu run.

Here is my first piece of hose fitted ( just a mock run but might keep it like that.

I really want to continue but I think I may pickup where I left off tomorrow.

PS - that bottom section on the rad is precarious lol ended up going for a 60 degree fitting and may go for a 90 on the gpu out.

Hmm ideas?

Allnamestaken · 19 Dec 2013 at 01:27

Definitely going to retire for tonight im so spent!

Adam182 · 19 Dec 2013 at 05:37
