Whats better guys, the raijintek or custom loop ?
I'm leaning towards putting the raijintek triton back in :/

Custom loop and put the GPU in too

DarkFulgore · 20 Jul 2015 at 01:41

The raijintek works well with the build, but because the custom loop adds more tubing, it would look better.

I'll try paint the pump and res mounts see if that makes things look better, if not then the Raijintek is going back in.

At the moment i'm testig different designs as the hydro dipping won't take to larger parts.
It won't be in black (had some spare carbon black left from iron man)

New RAM Arrived from Avexir
Raiden series

Also, i've just finished doing the power supply cover for the project. just needs a clean

The white with blue word is the one i'll be using, may use the other one for something else.

This.

The springs and 90s rave RAM could not be better suited for this build.

Like!

I'm in love with them, often found myself staring at them last night instead of the monitor.
As you drag your finger down the tube the lightning shoots for your fingers just like a plasma ball

Titan X arrived

New idea i'm working on. Cut out lightning bolts on the back of the facia.

The lightning bolts will be lit by random strobing white LED's behind and underneath the PSU cover

I've also just bought a large dipping tank, with a heater etc from a local today.
I'll post some pictures up later. Hopefully this fixes my problems and i can dip the whole case

Vinno · 24 Jul 2015 at 11:53

Very nice. The RAM looks incredible.

ED209 · 24 Jul 2015 at 12:59

the heat sinks for that ram look massive! or is it just me? lol

The heatsinks are HUGE!! almost double the size of hyperX fury.

Dipping tank is here. With heater, blocks and multiple other things.
Not a bad little buy. well used but well needed.
50 gallon 5ft tank

I've been doing hydro dipping for around 4 years now on an industrial scale. We do computer cases fairly regularly as well as car interior, wheels, external trims, motorcycle parts. What lacquer are you using to seal it? We use 2k lacquer so it seals and is as durable as car paint. Lets face it when you do a project like this you need to make the finish as durable as possible.

I've got 2k lacquer here also. The problem i'm having is getting the film to work properly. I've literally tried every temp between 30-45 and can't get anything large to work properly. (Doesn't stick half way through the dipping) even motherboard armours. may be the film or activator i'm using though. Hugos LTD is the company i'm using for the stuff. Whats weird is, the smaller parts work perfectly first time every time.
