This was my first crack at watercooling and i am super happy happy with the results. Since i first saw the rv01 i have been a fan of the rotated motherboard tray and always wanted a case like that the tj11 being my dream case (and will stay a dream case unless i win the lottery
) But finally 2 weeks ago i got a RV02-E for my self, my first silverstone case and one of the best cases i have worked in and owned. After afew hours of looking at other RV02/FT02 builds i decided i'd watercool it as well. Probably going to make some hardware changes once my tax return comes in (7970 im thinking) but until then here is my current gaming rig
Specs:
Asus Crosshair V
AMD 1100t @ 4.1ghz
16gb 1600mhz Mushkin ram
2 XFX 6870s @ 1000mhz core and 1250mhz mem
OCZ 60gb SSD
1TB WD Black HDD
Corsair HX1050 Psu
Sycthe Kaze Master 2 Fan controller
Bitfenix Alchemy 500mm White LED strip
Loop Specs
XSPC D5 Bay res
Alphacool VPP655
EK Supreme HF full nickel block
2 EK 6870 blocks
Phobya G-Changer 560mm rad
4 Phobya 140mm Nano-G Black Silent fans
Alphacool Compression fittings
Primochill 3/8 tubing
EK blood red coolant
Preinstall a few things changed after this picture. The Coolant went pink on me so it had to go and the rad in the back is 3x180 rad which was changed for the phobya
Everything in
Case lights turned on
Side panel on
front of the case
crap pictures compared to other threads but it works as i dont have a camera except for my phone.
*Update*
Well plans have changed once again. Tax return came in so upgrades are on the way! First time to dump the 6870's you have done well little cards but its time to go big or go home.
Hello 7970!
Goodbye Warranty!
All Nekid.
Forgot to take pics before it was in the loop but all said and done.
Future plans are going to be a jump to Ivy and Z77 this motherboard is beginning to piss me off, two days ago the built in network card died for no reason what so ever hence the killer 2100 in the last pic (which I'm borrowing). As its my only rig and ASUS have a terrible RMA time i dont really want to send it off and be stuck with nothing for a month or two. Thinking ill go to a MSI GD65 or 80 when its out as they look fantastic and switch the coolant color to blue so it all matches.
