Tis a thing of beauty! That is some incredible work.
I like the combination of normal fittings and stubby fittings on the sli setup. The 90 degree elbow fitting was a nice touch too.
I hope I can get my duality build to that kind of quality.

Well built, congrats and thanks for sharing.
That’s a great build you’ve done, I love the way you’ve run the tubing. Great photos too:up:
How long did it take to bleed the system using just one res?
Just one other point, are the pumps D5 vario, if so how will you be able to adjust the speed with them backing on to that fan?
LOVE LOVE LOVE the build! I'm doing a H2G0 build as well (and water cooling) do you have any tips for me?
Very Nice!
Man that is a SLICK setup! Not much else can be done, except painting the top cover of the DVD drive black.
very nice, But after all that im wondering why you would still use the stock Maximus cooling?
I think this picture should have a little impact on you thinking:

you really went all out with everything else and it would be a real shame if the small amout of contact held your oc'ing back any.
Holy crap
very nice
what temps are getting with that setup?
also one more tip,
pop off that ROG sticker thats ontop of your SouthBridge heat sink. seeing as how the heatsink is being blocked on both sides from your graphics cards and on the top form the sticker, i dont think theres very good airflow to it.
if you are carful not to bend it when you remove it (like i did to mine :( ) the sticker looks great in other places like on your case or on a window...
two thumbs up!!!
Crazystang01 search my Duality worklog . . no phase in it tho
Truly impressive build.... I was gonna go with the lian li 343b but now you've got me thinking. Congrats and thanks for the inspiration.
Wow! Very nice and clean. Big props for putting so much hardware into the case.
masterful build quality for sure
indeed, well done! I've been waiting a long time for someone to put a full water setup in a small case, and I'm glad you were the one; way to set the gold standard!
Anything you did wrong/would advise against as suggestions for people looking to build something similar?
Wow :shocked: that beautiful. I know ( from reading this forum ) I'm getting a MM case. Maby I'll get up a enough nerve to post my First watercooling rig
I give it a 15 out of 10 :up:
Again thank you everyone for all the nice words
Happy you enjoy it as much as me :D
After leak testing it took a good 4 hours to bleed. I have used this res before with another build in the past. An i hate it terriblly. I could not imagine using another res within this case with this set-up.Quote:

I requested to the owner we buy a NB WB. He however did not want to spend more money on the set-up :confused: .Quote:

I have a MM H2G0 as well, and do you have any tips as far as assembling it? Did you have any problems seating the GPU's/PCI? How/were did you hide all the cables? How did you hook up all the fans?
Please, because I'm having a lot of trouble with my build. Thanks.
regardless of what I'm about to say, you did an incredible job with this build, made it super professional looking.
but why not split into two loops???? only difference would be a second res. looking at martins flowrate and balancing the rads, maybe setup for two VGA on 120.2 and cpu+chipset on pa120.2 and 120.1
you would net about a .5gpm increase in each loop compared to all in one with series pumps.
plus potentialy better temps with the seperation of the pumps. If you could pull it off, 3 loops would rule, but u have about no space for more tubing, res's and pumps, maybe use single bay res's and a t-line. but that would be one hell of a stretch that i couldnt do.
This is an absolutely B E A UTIFUL build with alot of skill included in it.
I love your build, but I'm really wondering about your airflow.
It seems like one or two of those radiators will be pushing through a lot of hot air.
Where are you venting/pushing the hot air. I think mesh on the top might be your best bet
Neat build!
Guess there's no accounting for tastes and the customer is always right. Does he drive a pink caddy?
Unless adding some mesh to the top panel with this case you will have a radiator or 2 suffering.Quote:

However loading the system with stability tests the heat soak really was not as bad as i originally thought.
The final fan set-up is as fallowed:
front PA120.2 is pushing fresh air in
front bottom HD fan is pushing air out
rear bottom PA120.1 is pulling air in
rear top PA120.2 is pushing air out
rear PSU fan is exhausting air out
All systems fan besides one are connected to a sunbeam fan port. The last lonely fan is connected to a MB fan header.Quote:

I did not have issues seating GPU's or PCI cards. Just make sure when removing the case I/O side panel you re-install the 3 screws which connect the case I/O side panel to the MB Tray.
I was encountering a small issue with a PCI card seating properly. I then noticed i did not install these 3 screws. These 3 screw help snug the MB Tray with case I/O side panel.
All un-used PSU cables are tucked away underneath the HD.
With a lot of hardware within this case i noticed a lot of places to hide cable.
The biggest tip i feel is to not get fustrated with this case. It took me a lot of installing, uninstalling, and reinstalling to finnaly figure out how things would layout.
Try to plan ahead and order what hardware will need to be installed first and what can be left last.
That is a sweet build. Super clean and very well done. What do you think of the pumps in series like you have them?
