Those orange o-rings look very smart, and so does the drain port, never though of putting one there

That coolant is beautiful

when you putting your gpu under water?

 

[KiiYzOo]

I know

not sure, pretty sure I want to, just not sure when

 

[Solidarity]

I'm liking the loop. Coolant looks great.

 

[KiiYzOo]

Thanks

hard to bleed though

 

[Solidarity]

Thanks

hard to bleed though

What made it hard to bleed?

 

[KiiYzOo]

because of the tube at the top

 

[KiiYzOo]

Here's the revised loop because of bleeding purposes and also the back for showing you the cable management and where my hard drives are

I got my new psu a couple of days ago

I have since modded it and here it is

Before:

with it's top off

Here are the connectors for the original fan, it has a, quite literaly, rgb led fan with a switch to switch between the leds being of, green, red or blue, but I decided that since I wanted the fan to have a constant brightness on the leds, that I wouldn't splice the connections and I just took out the main fan connector along with the switch:

the main fan connector:

all done

(I will braid the fan connector in the future, but just now you can't see it at all when installed in the case

pic of it running with my pump along beside it

and a pic of my whole system with the new psu, a xigmatek fan in the back (I decided that I wanted some more orange in the rig, I plan on changing the front fans too) and I also took out the pull fans
