Added info, thanks for heads up.

Hehe that was the plan. I don't like to work with minimal tubing supplemented with SLI bridges or whatnot because it makes maintenance a pain... heck if you got the room in your case use it ;P

Nice mod although it's such a huge tubing mess I'd redo it for a cleaner look to get the shortest loop possible. With the amount of waterblock you'll still have a nice look, just less messy.

Did you do the sleeving yourself or are those extentions? Looking pretty sweet!

Nice work, but shame about those stickers...........

I thought a lot about the loop and decided i wanted the water to go right from top rad to CPU block, this limited the route i could go. Personally i like more tubing, makes it easier to work with and heck if you got the room use it! but next time i do a system upgrade i will have another look at what i can do... shame the mobo block needs 6 fittings. Any suggestions on updated loop routing?

I bought cable extensions for two reason: first wanted longer cables, and second i didn't want to spend the time sleeving psu cables and void warranty.

Nice work, but shame about those stickers...........

Heh not a fan eh? i like them but that's probably because i've gotten used to them.

Really nice job mate. That looks awesome.

Been running that same board for years now =)

Nice setup!

I still use the stock cooler for mosfets they are fine. The extra mosfet water blocks could be taken out and then you would have less tubing, but that's my opinion. =)

Thanks for the comment, i love the board too- except for the terrible onboard audio that conflicts with gamming and watching HD movies (that's why i had to get audio card, thanks RealTek).

Yes i was considering maybe putting the stock cooler back on but what changed my mind.... the Corsair 900D. I might be planning to look at updating my build to that with an extra rad, if so then i wont bother updating this build just yet.

Cheers.
