Update 10

Got the case and the motherboard

Looks awesome.

I wish I had the strength of will to spend some money on a bit of proper watercooling but every spare penny goes on drives/games/peripherals.

The fact that you attempted this on older kit is even more impressive.

Thanks, the kit is not that old

But a lot more to come soon

Update 11

Well, spent a tonne of fittings but its pretty much all ordered now bring on the building

 

[jacob1995knight]

Update 12

Sooo close!!

Last update until the build takes place

Update 13 THE BUILD!

Well finally, getting to put stuff into the case at the moment

So far, i have fitted:

240 Radiator
360 Radiator
480 Radiator
all 18 fans hahahaha
Routed all fan cables + extension cables as well

Not a lot of room but its enough









Sweet case weighs more then me

Finally got the motherboard!!!







Now thats a lot of fan cables

Test fitting the new fan cables



Soooon



Now that if i may say so myself is a lot of fans





Stripping the case

This was one hell of a challange!

The PE series is very wide, as i found out....

had to mod the case a little



Fitting all the fans

Working on the wiring and then testing the fans







More to come, the fittings will arrive monday so bring on the bending

Those cables looks so neat! Really want to give cable braiding a go myself.

Thanks bro, you should see it now looks sooo nice in the case

UPDATE 14 A Tease

Just a sneak for now acrylic bending currently taking place and quite easy

 

[jacob1995knight]

Complete build will be released tomorrow, stick around as its going to be good

 

[jacob1995knight]

So, its all complete after less then 5 weeks, 3 weeks of planning and a lot of research, the build is complete!

I will start off with the build, then the completed system in place on the desk

Smashed the tubing out, i dont know if its just luck but every piece came out really well, i didnt use a former or any bending devices, just the rubber insert, a heatgun and some mental angles, the best part is however that i designed all of the bends previous with...... wait for it...... LEGO!! it worked prefectly, as you will see

That flashback















All piping complete











Leak testing for 7 hours

In position and ready to start

ITS ALIVE

Straight into the automatic crazy overclock profile

Impressive but i will stick with 4.3Ghz now


Current Idle temps are 21.C

Under load (Prime95) 39.C - 42.C at 4.3Ghz

Very impressive

Thanks for reading

(32GB ram will be arriving on the 24 - 28th this month)

 

[jacob1995knight]

32GB of HyperX Ram purchased today

Excellent work

Automatic OC profiles are dangerous

Hes i know, i have the maximum voltage locked at 1.48v so it wont do any damage to the processor

 

[jacob1995knight]

Very nice build mate, you must be well chuffed with how its turned out

Im over the moon for the outcome, have to drain the loop tonight to fit a different temperature sensor however
