Hi
I'm starting this build to introduce myself and also get some help and advices because it is my first serious WC build.
1 year ago I bought Tt Kandalf LCS with built-in WC so it was my first water experience and since then I am addicted, forever But those case and WC was literally piece of crap and yesterday I've finally got rid of the last part - I sold the case.
So new day - new build, let's start.
Aim of this project is to build clean-looking and dead silent case. Also I'll try to push my CPU as far as possible.
Hardware list:
CPU: E8500
MB: Asus Maximus Extreme
RAM: 2x 1Gb OCZ Platinum 1600Mhz
GPU: Gainward 4870x2
PSU: Antec Signature 850W
Case: Lian-Li PC-P80
HDDs: 3x WD 2502ABYS - raid 0.
I intended to start this build in January, but there were some problems with parts so my CPU, MB and RAM is not high-end at this moment
WC parts list:
CPU block: Aquacomputer Cuplex HD
GPU block: Watercool HEATKILLER GPU-X² 4870-X2 LT
Pump: Swiftech MCP350
Radiator: Thermochill PA140.3 with Yate Loons D14SM-12
Reservoir: EK Multioption Res 150 Rev. 2
BP barbs, Feser tubing and some misc. parts.
Today I received the package from PPCs with barbs, reservoir, fans, clamps, drain port, rad and pump brackets so I just need to buy third HDD to complete the list.
At this moment I sleeved the pump, PSU sleeving is in progress.
Some pump close-ups:
Colors for this build are black and blue with some copper accents. Internals of the case are non-painted aluminum and I haven't decided to powdercoat them or not. What do you think?
All input are usefull
