@jammir nice effort there.

Finally got this finished and setup in its new home in India....
Although it outputs a lot of heat, component temps are good with the CPU staying below 70C and GPU below 60 even with synthetic loads!
Water delta is around 12-14C.
Long live the X58 platform!

@crazyDAJT I would normally say drill a hole in the wall and get the radiator outside... that's proper water cooling, zero noise and zero heat.
However, in India you're probably better with the radiator inside.

I Could run the fans faster, I can’t hear the system over the ceiling fan so I’m not worrying about it, the only problem I have is it’s like sitting next to a 500w storage heater, in the middle of summer!
I don’t have aircon in my flat, but it’s not that bad, it’s only around 30C inside at the moment.
It was fun building in this small case, I transplanted this from a phanteks luxe so it could fit in my suitcase!
I do miss my 360 Rad however!

Space Monkey, its not as hot as you think.
it cools down to about 20C at night, the trick is to keep the air moving, so i just leave the ceiling fans on all the time.
I do have aircon in my bedroom but just turn in on 30mins before i go to bed, otherwise i just leave a few windows open.

A little ITX build. Just can't decide on coolant colour.

Do you not want to take the GPU inlets off and rotate it? I think they are symmetrical connectors underneath but guess it depends on the block... or the writing is upside down (OCD!)

what's the air flow like & your temps?I've just spent the day wiring my new WC'd build in the Phanteks Enthoo Primo which could eat your case 3 times over and that was hard enough, think I'd have a melt down doing a WC build in that size case?

Yea, it was a challenge but very enjoyable.
I've just updated the project log with detail on temperatures... this is still a work in progress.

Finished this build in late 2016. Already taken one gpu out (sold) and looking to sell other. Hoping to do a new build when next gen Nvidia cards come out.
Hi guys thought I’d share my first full open loop.

Gpu is an evga 1080ti sc2 (slightly modded so the cooling block fits)

New build complete.
Watercooling side nothing special but have found functions and looks best than anything I could do out of hardline. Pipe lines flow really well and nice and tidy. Plus it’s much easier to change and maintain.
Card so far has been excellent at around 40c. Before with custom bios and overclock even 100% fan speed it was maxed at 88c and downclocking so block has helped dramatically. So far rock solid 2130mhz and I suspect possibly capable of more.

Finally finished mine to day by adding the gpu to the build. Quite happy with it
Glad I went ahead with it now...Not as hard as I thought...thanks to the guys on the forums for the advice/help.

the early pages are sadly empty now as people have moved hosts. The following are my images from 2003.
