Farmerbrown: love that build.. but the coils looks like you have candy canes in your rig!! lol
I use coils and I'm in the US. I've done multiple loops where the tubing was fine and then developed a kink down the line. The coils fix that. Then again I don't upgrade as quickly as most here, when I build something I expect to run it into the ground and when it's done I put linux on it and the box joins the horde so I'm probably more prone to this issue than most.
Some seriously amazing builds in here, well done!! Will get a few pics up of some of my watercooled machines when I can although they are not on the same level as most of these! :clap:

It seems that some have not read the rulesQuote:
Four Simple Rules:
1) No larger than 1280 x 1024 pixel (but 1024 x 768 pixel is preferred),
2) The limit on the number of pictures is 4 per case (if you want to post more than 4 pictures, use thumbnails or post links without using the IMG tags),
3) Do not quote images,
4) Finished cases only, no worklogs.
Optionally, it would be nice if you could list your water cooling components.
I'll put my hat in the ring.

....absolutely quiet of course. :)
Have a nice day!
Nice, what are your temps (and ambients) ?
Thanks! :)
The temps of this system highly depends on the environmental temperature and the RPMs of the 3 fan. I can set the RPMs manually with the knob on the back side.
In summer, when the outside temp was about 28 celsius than the load (gaming) temp was the following: CPU about 45-50 celsius GPU about 53-58 celsius. Without any tuning and the funs were on lowest RPM.
The minimal temps in idle mode and with 23 celsius outside temp are about 35-38 cesius by the CPU and GPU also (Funs on lowest RPM).
So, there is no problem with the temps at all. It is very good and stable system. :)
Sorry for my english.
Just built this on Saturday using some of MagisD's old stuff I bought. Sorry for the bad camera pics.

@ VIPER.... Will do when I get home from work. The top can hold a 240 rad BUT you have to use a thin one if you want fans on it. The case is a very nice case though. Very clean and very tidy. Sorry for the bad pic but i have a crappy camera.

Temps after 1 day IDLE work:
-ambient temp: 22 celsius
-fans on lowest RPM

Edit2:
Temps after 3 hours of Gaming (Medal of Honor Warfighter)
-ambient temp: 22 celsius
-fans on lowest RPM

I'm very satisfied again. :)
Let me know if you have questions.
Parallel.
Total parallel :D
