Hi guys, I have finished rebuilding and revamping my Silverstone Raven RV02 and gone all out and watercooled it this time. This is my first watercooled build and I only chose to do the CPU, for now at least as my GPU is a GTX 970 which is not limited by temps in the slightest as is. Anyway, hope you enjoy! It's not 100% finished yet, still a bit of tidying to do and im going to replace the PSU fan with a quieter one hence why I've not tidied the cables coming from it just yet.

Sorry about the camera quality, I only have my phone atm - HTC one and its camera is utter rubbish!

My specs:
Mobo - MSI X99S Gaming 9
PSU - Antec Quattro 1000watt
CPU - Intel i7 5820K @ 4.4ghz 1.25v (Adaptive) 23c idle, 70c max P95
GPU - MSI Nvidia GTX 970
RAM - Corsair Vengeance DDR4 @ 2800mhz
Storage - 2x 256gb Corsair M550 SSD's in RAID 0 & 3TB Seagate HDD

Cooling:
EK Coolstream WE 360 Dual Rad
EK Supremacy Evo Red CPU block
1/2" - 3/4" Masterclear Red UV tubing
XSPC 750 v4 Res/pump inc. kill coil
Distilled water + 1 drop biocide

At this point, I ran the pc as is for a couple of weeks until I could afford watercooling :) At which point, this happened --->


My nifty Magnetic strips helped reuse the original dust filters - just in a slightly different way :D

Looks really nice, shame you can't hide the gfx card power wire more. You hardly notice it when its dark anyway.
 
Ye Tommyzz, they're a bit annoying but like you say you don't see them much when its dark. I've not finished tidying it up completely yet as there's still a few loose wires and such to sort and if I feel flush next months I might swap out the cables for red and black sleeved ones - then get slightly longer pcie cables so I can route from the back.

Overall quite chuffed with it though so far though :)
