    Some speed bumps but i finally finished (lots of pics)

    ok so i had some serious issues to begin with, i started with 3 470's and an Asus R2E, 2 of the 470s went bad, so i replaced them, then i decided i wanted a new board so i went and grabbed the R3E and upgraded the cooling, got a WB for the 3rd 470, then i ran into issue after issue, so first i setup passive SLI Config and the temp on card 1 was going from 40c to 90c in about 30 seconds underload, so the water wasnt circulating properly, i dunno if i should setup a T or what but i changed back to serial, now its working perfect, however when i was switching it around i used a pair of pliers on the fitting and i broke 2 of the resistors off the card, so i found an old mobo in the closet, and boy did i get lucky, the first 2 resistors i grabbed were the right ones, so i soldered them back on and bam....worked like a charm, so ill show u guys some before and after shots

    so this is Before 1, what i came to u guys with

    Before 1

    Before 1 ya it was a mess

    Before 2(After i got the RE3) still a mess, too much hose

    before 2

    Before 3 (After i fixed everything up, but cooling on the GPU's was bad

    Before 3

    After! The Finished product, GPU2 Fixed and cooling is perfect

    After


    So as of now im running 4.1 on the CPU Stable, and 780/1560/1900 on the cards with a voltage of 1087(Max)

    Also i have a RE2 for sale if anyone is interested
    So whaddya guys think now?

    why are you using the 90 elbows? Those bends don't look bad enough to use them and they look very out of place.

    i thought they kinda looked nice thats all, i like the way they make the system look, they give it a more complex look instead of just hoses bent in weird ways
