Bit confused why you have custom loop components and a Kraken??

Minibiker · 20 Mar 2017 at 20:52

This will be an awesome build, 1080ti

Unbelieveable Jeff!!!

Good Morning everyone, Legend-The Kraken Was a Present just put it there for testing purposes also just incase the phantek cpu block didnt turn up soon enough, minibiker-Thanks i hope i can do it justice. Yeah super lucky on the 1080ti got the phantek FE block coming but thats not till the end of april so will have to be patient there. Did a few bits last night just getting things situated and in place so i can measure how much cable is needed as i want it to be a really tidy build.

Sorry about how dark it is, was doing it late at night

I just got my Strix block last night and its a thing of beauty !
Will be taking a few snaps at lunch time . shame contact area wasn't polished to a mirror reflection but should be fine

Lee French · 21 Mar 2017 at 07:40

Ohhh i can't wait to see it then it did look great from the pictures i saw, really looking forward to receiving mine and will be worth the wait, you can always polish it to mirror reflection though cant you. always worth it as then you only have to fit it once

This should be a nice all round PC

niro750 · 22 Mar 2017 at 06:48

Lee French · 23 Mar 2017 at 07:07

Having a little Issue if anyone can help, a converter from USB 3.1 Header on the motherboard to 3.0 header https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/usb-3-1-header-to-usb-3.18773755/

Lee French · 23 Mar 2017 at 18:42

A little bit more progress the Hard drive bays are gone and I have decided that the pump and resoviour will go in there. just got to make an adapter for the fill port and a very short connection to the pump

Lee French · 23 Mar 2017 at 19:14

Just thought I would show you the outline that I'm gonna try and do with the water cooling. Bit of Paint but your get the gist my mate knocked this up in a couple of second

niro750 · 23 Mar 2017 at 23:36

Looks like a neat plan

Lee French · 27 Mar 2017 at 22:18

Done A little testing tonight and got the rig up and running, For a laugh i decided to Stress test it and see what it could do actually incredibly impressed at the temperatures that this Didn't reach. Way way way too messy and just set up to test the components. All working brilliantly so now i just have to patiently wait for the remaining parts to turn up

Obviously didnt have it running for to too long didnt want to push my luck but still impressed it has just the Geforce fan and an NZXT Kracken X41

Lee French · 22 May 2017 at 07:04

Been a while since my last update but hopefully i will make a lot of progress this week, here is the start of the long boring job that is Cable management but a necessity as i want this to be a really clean build.
