I also have UV blue. I'm actually probably going with UV blue

 

[twisted5]

DON'T GO WITH BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone does blue and it is pretty annoying to see every single computer have blue leds and such. Well just my .02 you can do whatever you want

The comp looks like it's coming right along kemp Definately some nice choice of parts, I miss my PC-75B... Easily one of the greatest cases of all time, if not THE greatest. Roomy, sexy, precise. Lian Li.

Why didn't u pick up a DD full cover block Kemp? They have uber nice finishes and cool very well.

 

[FarFarAway]

Cause ST got me the Alphacool very cheap. Plus it looks nice

I may get another block depending on performance - but I think I'll be pretty happy with it

 

[FarFarAway]

Here are the Blue elbows and other bits I ordered. After a touch of paint of course

 

[FragTek]

those look like some good high flow low restriction elbows. ya gotta watch out for the elbows that get smaller in diameter in the middle, those will hurt ur flow quite a bit.

 

[FarFarAway]

Yeah those are 1/4" elbows all the way through so flow shouldn't be too retricted

If you end up going for a different full-cover block, Eddy EK's seem to be main favorites. Don't give too much of a perfomance hit compared to a "normal" block like the MCW60 or Maze4

 

[NoL]

Actually the maze4gpu provides very little of a hit to the loop. The mcw60 has less of a hit than the EK's also.

I think yuor confusing flow and restriction.

Umm dude... that's exactly what I'm saying man... I'm saying full-cover are typically considered worse, but out of them, EK's are favored.

Dodgy as hell dry test loop. Doesn't look too bad and at least it all fit in



Decided against the elbow in the pumps/res



Put some plumbers tape on the barbs



Then fitted them

Nice looking so far Kemp. One question...why the different tubing? Some of it is completely transparent yet some isn't. Any specific reason on that?

 

[FragTek]

Lookin' good so far mate! When ya gonna get the water in her?

And I must ask why you have an elbow going in to your cpu block? It looks 110% un necessary.

 

[FarFarAway]

The elbow is in there cause its a very tight fit. I may try to get it out though

@twisted: Some of the Tubes are used and some are new. The final build will be with all new tubing

Water is going in when I get the Alphacool block

 

[twisted5]

Ahh kk. I was wondering if you were just doing that to get rough ideas on lenghts etc. Looking good though

 

[FragTek]

Tight fit?????? There's no tight fit there... Take that damn elbow out.

 

[FarFarAway]

OK mate I'll take a look when it all goes in

Hope you like this update

 

[dave87]

looking good, is it nearly finished?

 

[FarFarAway]

Still got quite a few plans. Waiting for the water block but getting a bit fed up of waiting
