My first WC build! Please rate/comment.

[McBacker]

Hi there!

I spent 8 hours assembling this thing...

Sorry for low quality pictures... it's a N95.

















81.3cfm @ 36dBA x 2


RadBox? I don't need it...



Very flexible...


7/16" ID (5/8" OD) - 11.1mm / 15.8mm


Purified water to avoid tragedy!


What a mess!


Thinking about positioning...


Almost there...


Damn was hard to put this thing!



Loop filled and ready to rock! Nice table towel, don't?


Alive and no leaking so far!


Replacing by Predator blood...


A mirror!


Weak UV light =/


Now inside the case after spending a few hours with cable management in the other side.


And here it is! I'm tired...


It's not a million dollar PC but i really liked the result!

nice and simple

EDIT looks like you have the room... maybe use 1" shrouds to get the fans a little bit away from the radiator. increases performance, decreases noise. i made mine: bought slightly longer (2 1/4"?) screws and 1" nylon standoffs from a hardware store. put standoffs between fan and radiator. wrap tape around standoffs. you have sealed the airflow in and spread it out over the fins better, for about $3.
maybe just an idea for a boring weekend.

Very nice, much cleaner and more simple than my first loop(s)

[Kibbler]

You've done your homework! Efficient, straightforward. Everything just works. I like it.

I assume predator blood is not real predator blood () but actually pure water + Hydrx? My suggestion would be to replace that with pure water + PT-Nuke or silver as a biocide. Although I've not used it myself, Hydrx has been reported to gunk up over time.

Before today I didn't know Swiftech kits came in dedicated packaging like that...I always assumed it was the combination of parts all thrown together into one big box. Looks nice.

Nicely done...

very nice for a first WC case 8 hours is nothin :P my first one i spent that long alone figuring out how to cut the tubing clean and bleeding the system haha. Like Andrew said it's very clean, i like it

[Mabyboi]

nicely done, great first start. soon you will want to expand to more though, you have the WC fever!

[ottoyu34]

Nicely done. great placement

[McBacker]

Thank you! Really... to all of you!

U have great machines here... amazing and breathtaking projects!

[Aedubber]

Nice setup for sure, i have the same case but i must say WCing is like a disease cuz im ready to buy new parts again, do a whole new setup in a different case lol, gets very pricey. I run distilled water and the silver kill coils in my setup with just colored tubing, love it!

Do the shrouds really make a difference? I am currently running non and seem to get some good flow thru my radiators anyways?

[HuffPCair]

What kind of temps are you seeing?

Also nice job. I am wanting to do a custom water loop but just havent taking the time to figure the parts together yet.

Let me know if you need any radiatrors i have a Feser X Changer dual and single rad that i ma using, dual is for my cpu and the single is for my gpu, but im going to be doing a whole new setup to run 1 loop with a bigger rad etc. I would sell you my rads if ya need them

Thank you!

This is what i got ater a few BSODs!

OCCT Linpack stable for 1 hour. Also stable @Prime, LynX and Cinebench.

Ambient temperature about 23C.

What do u think?

[Vinas]

One of the best kits on the market IMHO. You did good and the setup looks as it should. Welcome to the wonderful and awfully expensive world of water!

[mariop]

Really nice setup! Found it quite weird when i saw the bottle written in portuguese, nice to see other brazilians here

So my English is not that bad at all!

More pictures... now outside.

Added another 5870.

[TJ TRICHEESE]

Nice and as said before very clean, but i dont like the contrast between coolant colour and the uv ccfl, but i suppose that is personal preference

[Envy]

pretty nice

[NBF]

Nicely Done!
Congrats for the clean work putting it together and for accomplishing the never easy task of getting good parts in Brazil.

[Philwong]

Nice rig!! How about getting a MC-NBMAX for your northbridge followed by the Komodo 5800s for your graphics cards? There're definitely room at the top of the casing to stack two MCR320s.

Very nice green! I like the translucency, unlike other coolants which are far more opaque

[pizan]

Nice. Simple efficient and clean. I wish my first attempt went that smooth.

[japamd]

Awesome work!!!

I wouldn't change anything! Oh wait, maybe the coolant color... just kidding

Congrats!
