600T watercooled build

[tinytomlogan]

Looking good dude, but putting a rad between the CPU and GPU will make no difference. The whole point in watercooling is to make it as TIDY as possible. Having tube all over the fecking place just makes you look like a n0000b in my eyes

Good work on the rad in the roof though

My thoughts exactly TTL, and the gains are minimal if nothing if you do.

Right another update guys, received my white acrylic today measured it a cut it to the rough size. Then I used a industrial hair drier to warm the acrylic to bend it 90 degrees. I have roughly cut it to the approximate shape with the access hole to the HDD cage. It needs tiding up with a file but its getting there. Have a butchers.

Right after a few hours more cutting then filing and sanding I have finished (apart from the final cut when the 200mm rad is here and the holes for water pipes) is done. I have taken photos with the motherboard in temporarily.

Not bad ey!

Ooh. Aah. The 360 rad in the roof is sweet. You may have to wait for the 580 HC 2 Classified. Damn that is a nice card. I'm expecting an 850 to 900 on the core. The old 580 HC 2 came either at stock or 850 MHz. It'll look awesome in your rig.

So guys a few parts have turned up, here's a couple of pics.

I have done a few test fittings of the res, 360 rad and pump. Having the fans below the rad hides the rad to res pipe really well.

p.s sorry about pic quality, iphone 3gs sucks for that!

That acrylic top is lovely. What colour liquid are you going for?

 

[peircevongoth12]

The white acrylic is a nice touch. Very nice build so far. Be waiting to see how this unfolds.

Going to go for a light blue to match the blue heatsinks on the mobo.

Good choice, I was thinking that that would look sweet.

Hi guys I have just received my first mdpc-x package yay, just need to get a few more bits and I'll start sleeving. Here's some pic's:

 

[Azurite]

I see you decided for the raystorm. I have ordered it too, but havent recieved it yet from the US. Those MDPC sleevs looks like pure quality. Your rig will look good with those

What kinda brand compression fittings are you using?

Think il order some MDPC sleevs for myself later on when i got my main rig done.

Yeah the Raystorm has done well in tests and will look just right in my rig, the MDPC sleeve is the best there is in my opinion. I'm using EK compression fittings, they are really nice.
