Haha yeah mate, thanks again!

Fluid is UV clear blue but I intend to tidy it right up and move the res and pump to the right, get some LEDS and move the rad vertical. Just wanted it done and have a tight budget :(

I recently purchased a lovely prebuilt ocuk system from the very lovely samuelc, which looked like this:

I then got the bug, wanted to drag the spec list up to date and generally waste thousands more pounds :p

So I thought I'd update my loop, I had a huge amount of help from a member here (not sure if he wants to be named so I'll omit for the time being), I now feel quite confident, I've already changed my res and today I'll be shoving in a new 970x chip and waterblock

sorry for the crap photos I cannot seem to take any decent ones with my phone :(

Here we go :)

Funny how with the LEDs off the camera made the fans look they were static, they were all on though :p

Lovely build and in my favourite COSMOS II case.

Can you take some more pics of the rad in the below section? Did you consider placing your HDDs down there instead and removing the front HDD bay, leaving space for the 240?

What are you specs?

Loving the monsoon fittings, I'm currently building my first water cooled PC and I've gone for them but in Black :)

Is that a temp.sensor on the gfx cards 45' angle fitting?

Yes it is a temp sensor, it's the last part of the loop and therefore, in theory, the hottest part. You can see the temp read out in the picture as well. I will invest in a proper fan controller etc. in the future (along with a new case as it is a massive squeeze to get everything in!

Nice, does it plug straight into your motherboards temp 2pin header?
