First Water cooling Rig Xigmatek Elysium - With Photos

[Doob]

Hi Guys,

I have just finished building my first watercooled PC and wanted to put some pictures up to get some feedback/suggestions. I have learned a lot from this forum and Toms videos so I thought I would share this and if anyone has any questions regarding the components or the case then fire away.

You realise that you could have done all that just on the top rad right?

Oh and block - rad block - rad - you should have just gone block - block - rad - rad

Because your config has probably only dropped your temps by a max of 2c over my way, also the front rad should have the barbs at the top to aid bleeding.

The mrs has given me a good idea, I can used that 2nd cut out to show off an ssd when I buy one.

It was a nightmare to bleed,cheers for the heads up, I will be getting another graphics cards next month so I will probably change it all round then.

Big fan of the videos, keep them coming.
