Watercooled Case Gallery

Some slightly better pics of my Parvum mATX build
Still needs some tidying up but it runs pretty nice for a small build

Hey guys,

I have been umming and ahhing about watercooling for some time now, and I think I could do it fairly easily with the wealth of knowledge in OCUK but for reference (for those who don't mind sharing) what would be a ballpark price for the following:

CPU(overclocked) watercooled
2x GPU's(overclocked) watercooled

for all the bits and pieces.

Dependent on parts used your looking at 500+
 
Original case was the white NZXT 450 Noctis, I've modified and painted it quite extensively... Also itts got 2 x 360mm radiators squeezed in to cool the 6700k and 980Ti, surprising amount of room in a mid tower!

The fluid comes out really blue in the photos, in real life it matches the rest of the build!

Also painted the SSD cases to match, the sides are blue and top matt white, one is a bit dusty in the picture but i'm too lazy to take it again cleaned up :):

Replaced the very cheap window plastic with some good quality acrylic, looks nicer now and i'll be honest I put a massive scratch in the old window :)

And finally here she is chilling on my desk.

Now all I have to do is squeeze two 1080's in there in a few weeks when they arrive :)

Is that the Dell U2515H or U2715H?
 
Finished my loop a few days ago!
All EK. with x2 480 rads

Love the barbs, the last decent build i did about 10 years ago just used barbs and tight fitting pipes, always liked the look of it better that the compression fittings.

Btw is your second rad under the case? I have the same case and im trying to think where you squeezed a second rad in.
 
Did you have any issue adding the second 980Ti in slot 3 with the cut out spacing on the reservoir mount?

I'm assuming you have a Enthoo Primo, I'm adding a second 980Ti tomorrow on mine and I've just ripped it all out ready to go with slimmer rads and new tubing (still using normal tubing, couldn't be bothered using acrylic this time)

Yup Enthoo Primo, Honestly it was a very tight getting the cards in although once in there was about a 1-2mm gap between my reservoir tube and the card itself. The actual mount itself was just fine in length although i had to unclip the reservoir before putting the graphics cards into their slot!

Yeah i was thinking of using the monsoon compression fittings on the Gcards instead of a terminal although i just thought this looked too good! It is, both top and bottom have the 480 EK-CoolStream slim quads They fit well although i had to take off the right plate which helps house the DVD drives and stuff.
 
My simple skylake build.

Its not great but I wanted to cut the costs.
Also that white vardar fan was a mistake tbh and I will have to paint it black.



Edit: So I painted that vardar fan black and I tink that it looks much better now.

My first attempt at custom water cooling.

DSCN0017_zpstdty49p7.jpg


Could not fit the GPU in the first PCIE slot due to the backplate fouling on the RAM slots (my fault for not checking first).

I did have some EK 90 degree fittings for the top of the res but they seemed a bit loose, so decided on the bend instead.

One thing that does bother me though, is the blue logo on the front radiator. The side panel covers it, but i know it's there. :D

Did this back in January so all air bubbles have now gone. ;)
