Chipset WB: EK full board block
Resv: 1 x Koolance dual D5 resv v2
1 x Danger Den round fillport resv.
Koolance 2x 12 to 24 volt pump controller
LG BD recorder/player
Rads: 1 x Thermochill 1 x 120 (chipset)
1 x Feser Monsta Lite ( Video Cards)

Good thing I took the pics, I was missing a clamp

almost forgot

DangerDen tubing and clamps
DangerDen SLI connector (on lower rad)

Damn, almost forgot :
Case front panel wiring updated to USB3

Some "drill down" shots

The VGA loop difficult to follow in pics, had to do this cause of the varying water blocks.
Setup in parallel.. phwew

DAm bro thats alot of tubing. I remeber doing something similar a while back. CPU, chipset and 3 Video cards in sli. It was scary shit firing it up the first time. I've leaked out on a few setups and its not fun. Then i learned to test the cooling loops before i turned on the pc. WTF dumb ass. lol Anyway, it looks good. The real thing i don't like about full Water Cooling setpups is trouble shooting when something goes wrong. Its a bitch to exchange parts.

Amen to that brother some of that is lessened by the PCIe switches that let you turn off individual lanes. The way it's setup I can pull the CPU WB (and therefore the CPU too), and, both of the video cards Just in case something comes up, or, I get bored :

Last water build I did with a lot of fittings I was a cocky ass and put it all together and did a loop test using an outside PSU. Praise be to god that I did that Leaks everywhere This time, I've used two vice grips to make sure everything is nice and snug, really don't expect any leaks ... expect being the key word.

Going to use this as my work rig too, cause I don't want too much accummulateing on my laptop. toggle from games to work



Wiring on the back, and loop filling is all that's left, then......

Once this is running smooth, I can turn my attention back to my P67 and X79 and get some benching done

really nice stuff
