Watercooling my 800d

[pgi947]

If you go rear 120/140 intake take caution, I had this for a while using an AP121, it screamed pulling air through that mesh/grill. Was by far the loudest thing in my case.

As Pgreenwo said, 120 in the back will fit, even with 60mm thick rads

Also another vote for Articlean 2 part and MX-4

If you put the 120 in the bottom just make sure you have the rear 140 fan as intake. You could put the 120 rad in the back. You could go res>rad>CPU>rad>Gpu>res. there's nothing in it for temps.

What kit did you gear in the end?

Everything on that first list. I got 2 blood red fluid, and a second 680 water block as I
Got myself a 2nd 680 from asus, unfortunately oc didn't have stock of it, and swapped the 240 for the 120.still need to choose a fan controller which ill get Saturday delivery, because I want to start building. Really like the see through ek blocks

Did think about the corsair custom cables in white, but I have the ax850 and they only come
With 2 pcie cables

will 2m of tubing be enough?

 

[Pgreenwo]

worth getting another 1-2m for a few quid but you will have enough with 2m

 

[fantasticCG]

everything came today, just need to order the fan controller and then maybe extra tubing for saturday.
Disapointed about the corsair white cables

 

[Pgreenwo]

There's only enough for 3 gpu's in the ax1200 kit. Cant believe that the 850 only has single gpu. could get some bitfenix white pcie extensions and hide the original cables behind the braided one's but not perfect. Corsair direct may send you some they are good like that.

Bit Fenix Red Cable Extensions. I have black Corsair ones with my recent build and they wouldnt reacht he top of the mobo as the 800D is so big. Spent about £35/40 on the cables but its a must if you really want it looking crisp!

Each pci-e to the psu splits into 4 x 6+2 pins, on the 850w, doesn't it? So the 2 x pci-e would mean 2 gpus?

The 8pin (6+2) are one per psu output. That's on the ax1200 anyway. Not sure if the 850 is different

I would think the 850w is different as the 1200w is a different oem. In the pics of the 850w cable kits it looks to be a cable that splits into 2 6+2s

Looks like it's good to go then. Good spotting

I'll need to flush the system out first before i put the red fluid in????

Always worth pushing some distilled water (battery top up water from halfords) through the system first as the rads I got had some dust/debris in them.

Pictures to come

I'd get some MX-4 or something a bit higher performance if your spending 400 quid on cooling it all

 

[fantasticCG]

Yer i have ordered mx4 does not come until saturday wanted to start with the gpu's tonight

 

[fantasticCG]

I found some mx-3 any good????

 

[fantasticCG]
