well those Hdd Xwings wont fit so ima stick em on the MM. shame really but life goes on lol. last bits and finished pics when theres decent light to get some decent pics.
Project Citrus.
- Thread starter Bradley8988
- Start date
Update.
Well got all the final bits for the build so all stripped down and laid out ready.
This is how i have to run the barbs on the pump as there is zero room in this thing now.
Block fitted with the MX-2.
Wanted a easier option for removing block from time to time without removing the mobo from the tray.
Tool for the job..
All cut, not perfect but its hidden.
Had a massive braiding session doin all the fans, Sata cables, Power switches etc.
Then after fitting the mobo and cards back in which is a big job in itself i went about the second rad. Funny but my idea actually worked and it fitted right in just clearing the EK waterblocks and the read 80mm fan.
Now Just gotta finish up the cable routing, Lighting, Side panels with possible windows and to leak test.

WOW! was about to post would like to see it with all ya cables in aswell, thats as neat as mine with aircooling great job!
Question is that 1/2" or 3/8" tubing? hard to tell for me sorry also can you get a side on shot showing the power connectors for the 4870, as from your pics you have the rad where my fans are then the fans infront of the rad so it must be pretty close as mine already is
What are you using as hose clamps, cable ties?

not a lot of room left in there but looks great
its 7/16" tubing over 1/2" DTEK barbs with small black cable ties just for good measure.
Shot of the power connectors.

yea theres 3 fans on the one rad 2 pushing with the orange yate pulling. temps arnt great but its very packed in and the XSPC rads arnt exactly the best around lol.
Cpu at 4.1Ghz idle at 43 and 65+ underload which isnt ideal. may lap it or try get a week 22 435. cards idle 45 and 55 underload. The main thing which is why i got rid of my full tower is this is way quieter so its not all bad.
Still pretty new to Ocing so struggleing to get the best outa this Dfi board.
