Hey guys!

This is just a small build log of my new watercooling, specs are

I5 750 3.8ghz - EK-Supreme HF EN Nickel

Asus NGTX570 - EK GTX580+ EN nickel plexi

EK-Multioption RES X2 - 250 Advanced

Silver Kill coil

AlphaCool Laning D5 Vario -EK-D5 X-TOP - Acetal G1/4 Rev.2

Mayhems dyes - Blue

Lamptron Fan Controller

Corsair HX750W

This is the watercooling parts all laid out on the table.

I took the side panel off my 700D and found LOTS of dust

Started off by removing some fans. Which also had quite allot of dust on, so I gave them a clean becouse I will reuse some.

The dust filter was clogged right up with dust so I took that outside and gave it a shake!

Lots of dusty fans!

Rear of the Alphacool Laning D5.

New pump top!

Started unboxing the watercooling...

Fan controller in. Not sitting flush just yet though

CPU cleaned.

SR-1 360 goodness

I had to cut the corners off some of my fans to make them screw down onto the rad as the screws I recived with it where too small.

Rad mounted

Removed the cooler from the ASUS GTX570

All cleaned up!

Block mounted!

and. backplate mounted!

Getting there slowly...

New PSU!

Started tubing it up..as you can see I had to move the pump as it would not work where I orginally put it.

Preparing for leak testing

ooooooo its blue!

Blue mayhems dye going through the block!

it looks soo nice!

Pretty picture!

Nice!

Just a quick question though, wouldn't the FC block of the GPU allow to fix the compression fittings on the top side?

It does yes, but the blackplate stops the fitting from screwing in all the way so I cant use it

I might use them when I drain the loop and refill it, but for now I prefer the look of my current loop.

Bit of a update guys, just ran Unigine and got a score of 1104 FPS of 43.8 and the GPU temp did not go higher then 34 degrees :eek:

blky · 19 Sep 2011 at 18:14

awesome stuff!! cant wait to get mine started

I like this, but its a shame you can't have a compression on the top of the card, those EK fittings must have quite the fat arse as I can fit XSPC 1/2-3/4" compressions on the back of my 6970s with backplate and have barely 1mm to spare.

I am quite impressed with the intensity of that blue, didn't know Mayhem dye was that good - too bad I can't find it on this side of the pond.
