stunning build, some unique features.

May i ask why the 90 degree fitting is black from the lower gpu?

I replaced it with a white fitting in the end i just didnt update the pictures

Thanks for all the positive comments, was real happt how it turned out in the end.

Runs idle at 25-30 depending on outside temp and hits 47 at full load. Thats with an i5 2500k @4.8 and 2 gtx 570's. All the fans are set to lowest speed and the pump is on its slowest setting to the rig is absolutly silent.

Got a block for my 780ti enroute so i need to drain my current loop. Cant decide wether to stick with black tubing or go white?

i dont think white tubing with white fittings and a white rad will work out well, why not clear tubing with red coolant to suit the red on the RAM and the cabling. Red White and Black will look very nice

Great build by the way, love the clean look, is it somewhere local where you got the powder coating and the mods or did you find someone online ?

Thanks for feedback, Got the powdercoating done locally. Will end up geting my 780ti powdercoated at some point.

Dont want to go clear tubing as the colour always changes after use, my pastal red now looks like red wine!!

+1 use red tubing, it will have a good contrast with the colors you already have

i still connot go without saying how amazing and simple youve managed to make the 810, stock just looks really messy. Did it cost you a lot, the aluminium and powder coating ?

Thanks, I literally got the case shipped to a modding company and got them to do it all, including shipping the case back it was about 100 quid extra. Not bad for a new mobo tray psu cover and window.

Not a fan of red tubing. Ordered some black and white and will see what i like the look of. I do need to eventually get a full size atx board in there but will wait until i need to update the mobo and processor in a couple of years.

i wouldnt upgrade unless youre going for Haswell-E. The mobo looks tiny in that case though

Wont be upgrading for a long while, as system is quick enought and I can cope with having a smaller mobo. JUst need to come up with something to fill the bottom bit.

Was thinking about putting some mirrored plastic allong it as the water block i am gettings is a plexi one so would be nice to beable to see it.

so are you swapping out them gpu blocks for some plexi ones ?

In the pics there are 2 570's which i have now taken out and replaced with a 780ti, been running it on Air since i got it and the mrs has got me the block form xmas. Will be re-dooing the loop during the festive period.

Its already the clear block so now sanding necessary!

fireisdangerous · 22 Dec 2013 at 09:59

Thanks, there is a bit of space so i can potentially do that will have a look when i take it apart .

That is one stunning build, how much did the powder coating cost you?

White powder coating was 25 quid for all the bits, but i got a friend to do it at mates rates.

Got round to putting the 780ti under water and decided to change the tubing from black to white for a change.

I however ran out of white tubing so need to order some more.

Thanks, I will get the backplate powder coated at some point maybe when i get another 780 ti
