Shawn is that what all those tornadoes are this year in the states?
Are you Terra-forming for you folk?

Back when I was still in the states, there was a tornado belt, but now it seems there is a whole pair-o-pantsAttachment 235795

Damn that is funny right there... LOL

Hey guy's I just finished building my custom loop today. No leaks so I am very happy.

Kol, I don't care if you could do it, I'm still to scared to do it my self

Looks good, good job buddy

It was nerve racking Cliff. I woke up this morning wondering if there would be water everywhere. When I filled and found no leaks last night it looked successful. The hose fit onto the EK barbs very tightly, there are some very strong connections there. I was fighting with this stuff inside the case. The only ones I am wary of are the rotary fittings which I used three, two rotary 45 deg fittings on the radiator and a rotary extender at the pump. Basically they have a join where they can swivel 360 deg. But at least now they seem quite durable.

My coolant is 3-4C cooler than my Corsair H110i AIO and CPU temps are almost 4-5C coolers as well.

Hi, @Kol12
Nice all that's left is a gpu block

Thanks Thrash. Only thing is that a GPU water block probably isn't going to fit in this case, it's too skinny. So I'm thinking about the Lian Li 011 Dynamic case for when I get the GPU water block. I don't have many options for a water block for the EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3 either. There's EVGA's Hydro Copper which is quite nice and EKWB are supposed to be making a block for this card.

Hi,
Yep 2080ti ftw3 hydro copper is or was what I was leaning towards long ago seeing there is better value seeing 2080ti ftw3 with preinstalled hydro copper was only 100.us more than the three fan version
Perfectly acceptable water block doubt ek's will perform or look better
Only water temperature dictates how well one cools that and water flow.
EK nickle plating sucks so a copper version is the best thing to get hard to mess it up like nickle plating is

Been busy and away, that's a nice loop Kol12. I saw that they made TG panels for my case so I will have to rewire soon for some cable semblance to make this look good, i'm excited. Will lose the foam but PC is pretty quiet anyways. Fractal Design

Thanks Malcom. Yeah showing off the cable side of your case is the trend right now. All the more reason to try and make a tidy job!

Looks great @Kol12.

I would be paranoid about leaks as well ever since that Roswell incident.

What's the Roswell incident Brink? Or are you just joking?

Anyway 1 week in and not even as much as one drop of water from the custom loop, she's water tight!! You guy's should go for it if you've been thinking about it, it was a lot of fun and a great challenge.
