Watercooled Case Gallery

It's better than flexi with dyed coolant in my opinion. Clear flexi tends to start to go cloudy in a pretty short space of time. One of the reasons I went hardline.
No offence taken.
Had a Triton AIO before this and could not get the colour right and did not want to use Pastel fluid.
Once the side panel is on you can't see the res anyway.
Swapped out my XSPC X20 750 Pump for a XSPC D5 Vario. Really should have done this from the start. Its silent on level 2 where the X20 I could here a constant dull motor noise. Performance wise its maybe a few degree less on the temps. 
I also Moved the graphics card into slot 1 and fitted the temp sensor into the spare port on the front rad. The D5 sensor wire plugged into spare temp sensor on the fan control and alarm to sound if it goes faulty.
Oh and learnt how to drain the loop.

Finished over the weekend
Fractal Define S with a full EK custom loop. 2x PE360 rads front and top.
More details of everything in my sig link.
Might redo the two pipes from the top rad, and yes there is a fan missing on the top rad, it was faulty.

That colour match is spot on! Is the case the same colour or is the flash making it look brighter?

That is nice! What are the temps and noise like?
With fans fully off it hovers around 45-50degrees, the case fans only run at around 700rpm so they are inaudible.
With the 9 radiator fans at 1100rpm the graphics card sits at 26degrees and the cpu cores vary between 27-29degrees. Those temps are from today which was quite warm. Not tried any gaming yet but I will over the weekend with the fans at 5V and 7V.

More maintenance - First attempt at hardline tubing which is awful in hot weather due to the heat gun being as hot as the sun.

Very nice build. Just a quick question though, how is the new xspc pump res performing. Been looking at one of these for a gpu and cpu loop in a itx build but need a little more input from an end user perspective
