Just finished build. Its not staying this way, i'm not happy with the hose routing, I've got a bunch of 90 and 45 degree angles and some more straight fittings on route along with a EKWB D5 Revo top, so this weekend will be spent redoing the loop with the intention of tidying things up and maybe reworking the order of the loop but we will see, cant believe the difference in GPU temps, see's low/mid 40's max in gaming, the CPU is pretty much exactley the same, and not a huge drop if any from the Corsair h110i which i assume is mainly due to the amount of heat the GPU is dumping into the loop, is it normal to have a GPU temp idle lower than the CPU? will be reseating it with fresh Kyronaut Thermal grizzly at the weekend when i rejig the build.
I fully intend to go Hard line however will be upgrading the Mobo/CPU/RAM in near future so thought i'd wait till then.
**Edit**
Just finished re-doing the loop, got rid of unnecessary excess hose, tidied up fittings and just generally simplified things, added ball valve/drain to bottom of Res, and fitted new pump top, not sure if i'm happy with orientation/placement of pump, but I couldnt see any better option at the time, that may see further tweeking down the line but for now it is what it is.

nice build can i ask how guys are getting such opaque colours the cooling ?Just finished build.

You might need a drain on both ports of the underside of the GPU.
Have you tested the drainage out yet?

Have drained and refilled the loop twice with no issues

It recently came to my attention that a certain high street clothing chain is now in the CPU waterblock manufacturing business:
Just kidding, it's Aquacomputer's brand name for their newest range of CPU blocks.

First attempt at a custom loop, had a predator 360 and used the CPU block from it and assembled my own. Think it turned out pretty good.
Case is the inwin 509 rog edition,
Ekwb supremacy MX,
Gtx 1080ti ekwb founders block,
Ekwb coolstream 360 XE,
Ekwb Duraclear tubing with compression fittings, don't remember which Res and pump combo I'm using. Trying to keep my 7700k temps under control, GPU maxes at 42c using liquid ultra. Just waiting of overclockers to ship my delid tool.

This is my first attempt, decided to give it a go when getting the 1080ti
Very nice mate.. good colour choice

You start out with a simple loop then before you know it all of your money is gone.
So worth it though...
Looks amazingStill have some stuff to sort out and to tidy up cables. I never connected the PCIE cables for the pic. Fans rings, SSD mount, cabling and coolant all UV reactive.
