Hi, This is my first build log, although not my first build, I did a air cooled build earlier this year but this is my first “water cooled” build. As advised by “TTL” I am putting in some pics & not just the links as I previously did. Hopefully it will turn out ok? Please leave any comments, tips or general advice as I am very keen to learn.
Below are a few pics of my first delivery from Caselabs. These guys are a pleasure to do business with & are extremely helpful in every way.
This case was so easy to build, took me approx. 3Hrs, someone more competent could easily have done it in 2Hrs but I wanted to make sure i got it right first time.
The last pic above is the finished case, I will get back later tonight with some updates. Thank you all for looking, any comments, advice critiques etc. are most welcome. Cheers Glen
Below are more pics of the components going into this build.
Surprisingly got this brand new on ebay for £320 absolute bargain I thought?
Motherboard & 1 x 420 rad & 1 x 360 rad installed into the top chamber. I have put fans in push, pull, push, pull configuration. Not too sure if this will be the final set up? I plan to do some tests and take it from there. I have got to take my other 420 & 360 rads out of my current rig before i do much more to this along with the dual bay res & two D5 pumps. Also my ram, SSD's, HDD's & optical drives. I am also still unsure if I will run two loops, one for CPU & the other for my two GTX590's. If anyone has any views or theories I will be only to pleased to hear them as this is my first water cooled build. My other rig I bought already water cooled. Thanks for looking, hope fully get some more done tomorrow. Cheers
