I have an h500 with a Ryzen 2700 and a ROG Strix GTX 1660ti. I wanted to do a watercooling build for a long time and I am really excited. This is how it turned out:


This is my first hardline watercooling experience. I chose Barrow as they are the most budget friendly brand as I really wanted to dabble with water cooling. Here is the parts unboxing:



Here is a short video on how I've put the GPU waterblock:

I studied Fusion360 in order to model out what I actually wanted to do, from the build itself (parts measurement) to the cable combs.

As for the cables, I did custom sleeving on the 24pin, 4pin motherboard and 8pin GPU power cables in order to make the build more attractive. I've also printed out some 3d cable combs. I think the combs did a nice job in aligning the cables.

After finishing up, I decided to put the reservoir horizontally below the GPU. At this point I was a little bit exhausted because I was unable to fix the reservoir parallel with the radiator( lesson learned, always take proper measurements! )



Few things I learned from my first watercooling build:
1. You have to be patient. Its not an overnight project.
2. Ordering fans out of your country is difficult.
3. Always double check your power connectors.
4. There were a few times where the loop is running quite very hot, it turns out, the radiator that I bought from formulamod is not up to cooilng an entire CPU + GPU loop. I do not recommend them.

Last thing, is it worth it to watercool your PC? My long and short answer is YES, definitely! As a long term PC Enthusiast, I am proud with what I did and how it turned out.
