Just love the way three 680's look under water, so minimal.

Very nice build and the plumbing to notch.

Thank you :)
Very happy how the three 680's look & how the pipework turned out :)
 
I have this link fitted.

You have to fit EK blocks on your GPU's to make these work & these to the blocks.

You will also have to ensure the spacing is correct for the blocks on your motherboard.
The RIVE need a tipple spacing link (even if you only have two cards fitted)
This ensures the cards sit in the 16x slots

Wow, that thing could take off!

lol, with 5 liters of coolant rushing through the system, there is more than enough weight to hold this down :D

More concerned with it falling through the ceiling & killing someone down stairs when they are doing the washing up :eek:

I thought the issue with the EK reservoir leaking was going to be easily rectified when EK offered to send me a new replacement acrylic tube.

Then to my dismay, I found the tubes to be the wrong length

On closer inspection I found the new tube to be 20mm longer than the original.
I once again contact EK & found they don’t manufacture the ‘advanced’ tubes anymore only the ‘basic’.
At this time, I am in contact with EK & the supplier to try & get the correct replacement parts but I am not holding out much hope.

Hi Piggin. Long time no posting from me... Finally been catching up on what you have been up to - a lot it turns out... Photos of the inside look great. What does the outside look like now? [Which page of postings are they on??]

I can see that you have your system working now (I bet Mrs P is rejoicing and has a long list of things to keep you busy!), but how did the saga of the split res end? Did EK manage to find an advanced one eventually?
 
Did you get the res sorted out mate? :)

Fantastic looking rig, very jealous! :D

I've kept an eye on this thread ever since I first found it (which was probably just after I joined) :p
 
I hadn't realised it was quite so long since we last heard from Mr P, so I just hope that all is well in the Piggin household, and that another updated will be posted soon! :)

lol, this build has gone on for a very long time :rolleyes:

As for the res :mad:
EK are the biggest bunch of **** I have ever had the miss fortune to deal with.
They are exceptionally unhelpful when you have an issue & I would strongly urge anyone to stay away from their products.
They could not get me a direct replacement tube for the x2 advance res’s & the tube they sent was longer than I could fit into the case.
I attempted to machine the tube so it would be shorter but that turned into another disaster.
I finally glued the tube onto the threads so it would not leak :(

Hi John, I has been a very long time since our last chat
Still alive a kicking (just) after my spinal operation
Mrs P is still keeping me on my toes & I have now dropped down the pecking order in the house as we now have a new house guest.



As for an update, I just realised, I have not posted the finished images :(
I will have to put a few words together & post the images :)

As for Mrs P, she now has the dining room table back but there are now dog toys throughout the downstairs of the house (can’t walk anywhere without standing on something that squeaks) lol.

Hope you & your good lady are keeping well
