Phanteks Shift X Watercooling Rig

[dujames777]

First time doing a water cooling build in a long time; hope you guy like it Took me a lot longer than expected. I was using PrimoChill Vue Coolant and it ended up completely clogged all the blocks with the "silver dust" only after 2 weeks. I ended up disassembled everything and redoing the loop.

Very nice, I seriously like this case it's properly different.

I like this case very much. I was about to buy it but it was not available at the time.

Very cool, I've had my eye on this case for a while & it deserves a full under water build like yours. I bet it was pretty fiddly putting it together - nice job!

 

[dujames777]

Thank you. Yes, the case have some down points; the main one is there almost no cable management space. There is only about 1cm in between the cover and the chassis; so I ended up using full PSU replacement cables instead of extensions. Overall, it turned out decent and I liked it.

Strange case but I like the build you have in it well done

The long tube, with the uv light, gives a nice "personality" to the rig. Well done.

Nice build mate, was actually thinking about something similar.
I noticed your Swiftech Drive is oriented with the reservoir facing the graphics card. Was that due to personal preference or did you having mounting issues the other way?

 

[dujames777]

It was the only way I could mounted it, the refill port is on that top section of the assembly.

 

[Attackid]

Do you have the 240mm or 280mm version of the radiator?
There should be enough space with 240mm?

 

[dujames777]

I used 240, FYI the whole assembly when mounted leave very little space between it and the gpu, just barely cleared the gpu.
