Fast snap shot ... goosh! wetting my camera! Manage to get 2 good shot .. the rest crap! No tripod during the shooting >
Bleed baby bleed!
War with bunch of wires now ... will update soon!
Hmm, why does it look to me that GPU full cover has inlet/outlet connected for flow to go straight through/with bypassing block?
Because it's a 295 EK block which has a very different layout than most conventional waterblocks. I believe it's seated correctly like this

Oh, ok then. I just checked in initial post that 295 changed to 5970 with EK FC5970 block and that IIRC was conventional one.
Great work. You really hammered through the build and wasted no time. Awesome.
These bubbles in Reservoir looks sick nice shot

Personally, there's one thing about your loop routing that I would change. I would keep it res > pump > radiator > GPU > motherboard like you have it now, but instead, I would then route it CPU > radiator > res. The tubing from motherboard > radiator > CPU just looks... odd and cluttered to me.
I think it would cut out a bunch of tubing for you and make it look cleaner.
I guess to make it clearer, I would:
res > pump > radiator > GPU > motherboard > CPU > radiator > res
instead of your
res > pump > radiator > GPU > motherboard > radiator > CPU > res
The EK 295 single PCB Block has the parallel flow design .. kinda coolBecause it's a 295 EK block which has a very different layout than most conventional waterblocks. I believe it's seated correctly like this
I still waiting for the EK5970 block to arrive. Again one of friend say HD5970 will not fit into my case! Haha! I will try ...
Thanks! Got to complete this project asap ... going for business trip on the first week of July .. another one week for me.Great work. You really hammered through the build and wasted no time. Awesome.

I like the idea! The reason I route the hose in this way because I want my CPU to be cool as possible ... maybe 1 or 2 deg better. The radiator before the CPU is the first radiator that intake the fresh cool air. I tried to visualize the hose routing ... it almost the same. Thanks for the idea, appreciate it a lot!
It won't really effect temps at all because you still have the same radiators and the same pumps. Water temperature evens out after a certain time to its equilibrium temperature. Longer tubing like yours or shorter (I think?) like mine won't really effect the temps at all.
With 2 radiators stack, I believed the first radiator will be cooler than the second one. That's why I connected the CPU only to the first radiador. Maybe I'm wrong ... let's see the outcome after the completion of this project.
Updates time ...
I nearly forgoten the system drive ... after looking at the sata cables

1 SSD ..
3 More!
First RED SSDs!
Quad Intel SSDs
Mounted to the case >
I know that this is overkill ... hey we are the Extreme!

Sweet SSD's dude, I'm completely stunned by the total overkill.

o may god
proud to be from Belguim ^^
Lightpainting and hardware are my life!
Superb!
How about a red plexi plate on the other side of the ssd's too so that the ssd's are sandwiched?
I can imagine that would look cool.

I don't have a huge preference between intel and OCZ SSDs, but some OCZ SSDs would look very sleek in there.
Also, somewhat off topic, there is a PCI card that holds up to 4 SSDs ... I'll try and find the name and link.
Signatures make my posts look huge... but I'm not humble enough to completely remove my signature, so I kept this note explaining it.
damn.... raid0?

Yeah that's not it, but still interesting.

I like to see the SSDs raw .. kinda showing the power of it!Superb!

Got the OCZ SSDs before ... prefer Intel.
Raid0 it is ..
Hey Bro! How are you? Still doing Mods? Like your project log a lot! Red too ..Very nice bro!...
Overkill is always good....
Yeah still modding stuff though not much time on my hands atm. Just enjoying my rig for the time being. Hopefully i can start on my SFF project soon. Eyeing the lian li cases featured in cebit. Just waiting for them to be released! That coupled with the recent price drop for the i7 is irresistible...

Great! Got my SFF project too .. actually it's a DIY NAS with 12TB storage. Thanks god the HDD now quite cheapYeah still modding stuff though not much time on my hands atm.

No update for this project today ... have been busy with the house spring cleaning! Clear my store room ... Goosh! Never know that I keep a lot of junk! A good thing that I found something that I lost for very long time.
My first SLR lens! It's very old lens .. I miss it
I need send this for cleaning ... hope that Nikon service centre can do it
I test a few shot ... still not bad! It's sharp lens ... surprisingly!
Will update this project after finish the sleeving ..
Ahoy Joe!
I was/am a big fan of your DNA box worklog and I am just in awe over this one. Love your SSD mounting technique.
Superior work as always, matey!

Thank you for looking in ... I'm very happy!
Man, this project is looking incredible! I see the word overkill used a bit. This isn't overkill, this is necessary, anything else is just sub-par
I also agree with Rick, your DNA box was fantastic!

Thanks for the comments!
Try doing the sleeving this morning ... I wish to had the MDPC sleeve, they looks awesome! Mine just the ordinary sleeve (china made) Have been quite sometimes never doing this. Kinda miss out some of the step .. heat-shrink different length, not tight enough etc.
First try ...
Slave for the sleeve!
Next the 24pin ... that's lots of wires! Stay tune!
