Yeah, it sure is

Updates

getting finishing touches done, while waiting for the reservoir to re-seal (Still not happy with it, but it'll have to do)

Changed the white on teh shroud to orange, added a top rght corner with aorus logo (i'll probably change that later to black and orange).

Waiting for a few more things to arrive (RAM) and then i should be good to release final photo's, video and most importantly, results of the tests.

Well.. loop is filled and running smooth.
Currently running with a 280mm radiator right now, as the i wait for the coolants to arrive which are now heavily overdue due to stock (mayhems pastel white)

looking good, whats your temps with the Ti idle and under load? curious to know if my mod is working correctly haha, even though yours is Ti has same back plate

idles around 25-27c
Load is mostly under 40c, but i've seen 42c in rocket league of all games lol.
Far cry primal, Max settings, 5760x1080 it hovers on the 40c

The RAM is here! And by god is it pretty!
Fits this project perfectly, also look at how close the tube run is!
I had to adjust the height of the top run to squeeze in the RAM, but it's in now and working

Specs: 2x8GB DDR4 @3000mhz

Sooo.... We ran into complications with the custom res and bubble cooling.
While it works 100% well with the CPU only, it really didn't like the 1080Ti included.
In fact, the reservoir split in the bottom after 4 hours of stress testing.

So i had to quickly re-think some things to get this project done as fast as possible.
While the idea for bubble cooling may be a bust, the design idea is still in play.

From Alphacool
The Eisbecher Lite 250mm reservoir

I'm using Mayhems pastel orange coolant for this

The NexXxoS XT45 420MM Radiator

And those fittings you see are the Alphacool Eiszapfen angled adaptor 90° rotatable

I changed out the legs to something much much better and more fitting.
But i'll reveal them later this week with the finished build.

sorry to hear about the bubble. Would you not be able to do that for its own loop and then the Aorus Ti in its own standard loop?

still get to keep the concept but tweaked to get it working

If the reservoir hadn't burst yes, but i don't have time to order more acrylics, seal and get the rig out to show.
Will need to wait until it's back, then re-do it all. Time is always the issue
