Excellent photography, and beautiful system... :up:
In this case can not be done like the TJ07. Since the amount of space at the bottom is small for such a system. The last photos without cover:

Malik on the last pic what is that lettering AquaComputer coming from?
I just started with a Nikon D90 and I guess you're using a tripod for making your photos. Can you recommend me the one you're using?
You don't have to askt the last question if you think it is too Off Topic :D
From the temp. sensor
http://www.aquatuning.es/product_inf...-aquaduct.html
I have put a quad in the bottom of my Fractal Xl, it is possible with some dremmeling at the front and also you could fit a double rad as well in the bottom along with the PSU mounted sideways

Still looking perfect but somehow I did like the BTP sli connector a bit more... :D
Everyone likes something different :D

Malik,
Is the quality as good as MDPC sleeving?
the sleeve has a more cloth like feeling to it, rather than plastic. dont know if u understadn what i mean....
it feels like sleeve made out of sock material.
i like it. and prefer it over to normal/mdpc sleeve which feels like hard plastic. but unfortunately, the colour selection isnt too large.... yet.
Malik now please explain how the hell did you manage to use PCI-E 1 and 3 alongside with the EK DUAL 3-slot Paralel Bridge? By what I recall it should link slots 1,2 and 4 just like a 3-way would do it! I simple don't understand how! And man... What a fantastic work! Congrats!
To do this connection that you see in my project - I used this connector EKWB: LINK
It perfectly fits my SLI. I placed the card in slot 1 and 3

When you get a chance could you please take a picture of the front of the case, inside and out? I'm curious on how you did the tubing there, as well as the HDD mounting (if it's not external as well).
Thanks
edit: I found pictures on page 72 regarding the front of the case. Nevermind!
Still curious about the HDD's however. I assume they are external as well?
2nd edit: Is this the correct flow sequence?
Res -> pump -> 240 rad -> 360 rad -> mobo -> ram -> cpu -> gpu(s) -> res
What reservoir is that?
HDD is inside, i put him on Scythe Himuro. He is between psu and front rad.
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_...0/_DSC0362.JPG
About flow - yes this is correct.
This is EKWB 250ml res.
What size tubing and compressions is that? It doesn't look like 1/2" ID tubes as the compresssions don't look "chunky" like they do normally with 1/2" ID. If it isn't 1/2" ID do you take a performance hit by going with smaller tubes to get that look?
One last question (interested in bitfenix cables) is how do you attach them? Are they extensions that stick onto the end of your cables? Or do they fit straight into the modular connectors/have to solder them in yourself?
Thanks for the reply, love this build, looks beautiful.
One more question if you don't mind. This is a big inspiration for an upcoming build of mine however I have an 800d already which I was going to begin to cut up. I was wondering how much, if any, did removing the divider from the case compromise the strength of the motherboard tray there, especially with everything installed on it?
I'm not sure if the divider in the Fractal supported the mobo tray at all or if it was there just for the visual aspect to separate the "zones"
Thanks again.
It does give it a fair bit of flex. The divider is riveted both to the case frame and the motherboard tray. (I removed mine as well.)
What fluid are you using? It looks very nice, perfect color. Can you also post a for pics of the cable ends where the wire goes into the housing? IIRC they do not have heatshink showing do they?
Thanks. Are you talking about the 800D or the Fractal, though? It looks to me that the 800D would be pretty flimsy but I'm not entirely sure. I might just have to go ahead and do it and if it does take away from the overall structure I'll have to find away to re-support it or just re-install it and cut it.
Great work as always, but I'm missing one simple shot of the case, like this:

No fancy angles, entire rig in one picture.
Here you have no fancy photo:

Pump simply hangs on a piece of tubing?
I'd be afraid with my Tygon 3/8" 5/8" on Bits 3/8" 5/8"
Only holders keep rez and pump?
Two stock EKWB holders
Nice work, as usual! Can't wait to see the next set of photos (:
Great build.
STX is nice addition.. i quite enjoy mine.
I think the same... stx looks awesome and played awesome :)
Today I had an attack of fear from ...

By night - quick shot:
http://www.abload.de/img/_dsc0950o7pl.jpg
Nice...every Malik LC Project look's amaizing...keep the good work as always. Great photo's too
You made wonders with that relatively small case - P193 right?
How do those Phobya fans compare to most favored selection here (AP15)? You have a great camera too if I may observe? Did you intervene with colour saturation to your pics?
...and finally convinced me to buy the Fractal Define XL case! :clap: All the components are sitting here and I will get down to business at the weekend.
One question: could you share that technical drawing you used to cut out the radiator hole? I mean the one that you can see on the screen in this post: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...=1#post4769105
That would be helpful and really speed things up for me at the weekend, especially because it is the first time I will use a dremel on a PC case... and on such a pretty one indeed! :D
Btw: the mesh that you used was Radgard from Bitspower, right?
Hey Malik, I'd really need that drawing which indicates the exact dimensions of the 420 radiator grill. Hope you're stopping by sometime soon...
Edited: Hmm... Found a post of yours over at overclockers.com.au saying that you didn't manage to mount the Bitspower Rad with the radiator you used (it was MagiCool Slim 420 right?) since the holes don't coincide. Too bad, I was planning to combine the two. Will not get around trying til next week, I'll report back whether it was a fit or not.
This build just gets better and better.
Malik, what flow rate are you getting right now? is the single 355 enough to go through all those blocks?
On 100% pump power i have 221 l/h ;)
Those red phobya fans fit very good in this pc :)

tygon is nice at first but in a few month they will cloud.. :(
nice rig as always ^^
Beautfil work Malik, as usual. Your work motivates me to keep on improving my current and future builds.
As for tubing, I was about to ask if you had issues with staining, since mine (Tygon 3603) alway stained after few weeks using Feser UV blue or red liquid coolant. I don't bother cleaning them, I just replace them with new ones. I know they are expensive considering other tubing brands but it saves me time and less system downtime :/ Not sure if using vinegar + distilled water would help remove the stains...
Try Aqua-Computer liquid. I never had problem with this product.

Malik, where's the second tubing for the radiator up top? I only see one :(? And where do you order your water cooling parts?
Great work as always Malik! :clap:
@ Phaseshift
You could see the 90deg angled adapter and the tubing behind the radiator in post #1967 2nd picture ;)
nice Malik thanks for that; and where do you order your wc parts?
I noticed that you change out the liquid colors often to do different photoshoots......Do you take apart EVERYTHING each time you change the color?
I was also curious how long it takes you to do this whole process now because you do it frequently.... Thanks for info!
fuzelogic: that is the same liquid. But in different lights :)
matt220: Aquacomputer Double Protect Ultra 1000ml RED
Hi Malik,
I enjoyed reading this thread. You have inspired me to build a system! I have some questions regarding fan control and pump control.
1. Do you use Aquaero to control all your fans? If so, how do you link your fans and how many channels do you use?
2. Does Aquaero voltage control your pump?
3. Do you use Aquaero to do anthing else (LED etc).
It would be awesome if you could explain your Aquaero setup!
One other question, have you ever considered using Swiftech MCP 655-PWM-DRIVE Pump? I saw a MCP 655 on one of your earlier builds but I don't think it was the PWM version.
Thanks again for all your fantastic work. Looking forward to your next project!
1. Yes, i used all channels. There was 2-3 fans per channel
2. No, PowerAdjust which was connected to Aquaero 5
3. No
That was old project where i used MCP 655 ( not pwm version ). I think that mcp35 series is strong enough to this what im doing ;)
Next project is in progress... still waiting for some pacakges and decisions :)
In mean time:

Are you using glue instead of heat shrink on those cables?
nope
Secrets!
They look super clean. Love them!
Stage Two:

Hey malik those blue extension cables, are they bitfenix alchemy?
Yes, this are bitfenix alchemy cables ;)
