Darling

Darling in the Franxx themed PC build created for fragforce which is a gaming event that supports the Extra Life charity organization that is raising money to support Children's Miracle Network (CMN) hospitals across the country.

Cooling in this build is setup into two custom loops so that I could showcase the blue/red color theme. The GPU loop consists of a Singularity Computers Protium 200mm reservoir with a Protium clear D5 pump top and a black Protium pump cover, the loop is powered by a Aquacomputer D5 Pump and connects to a EK-FC1080 GTX TI FTW3 - Nickel Plated Copper Water Block with a Plexi Top for my EVGA 1080 TI FTW3. The GPU loop ends in a Black Ice Nemesis 360GTS Ultra Stealth U-Flow Low Profile Radiator to save on in-case space. The radiator is cooled with 3 Corsair LL120 RGB fans. The cooling liquid is distilled water with Mayhems Pastel Red concentrate to achieve the proper red coloring of the liquid.
The CPU loop shares the same reservoir/pump combo and connects to a EK-Supremacy EVO X99 - Nickel waterblock that cools a i9-7900X and ends also in a Nemesis 360GTS radiator which is also cooled with the corsair LL120 RGB fans. The cooling liquid for the CPU is distilled water with Mayhems Pastel Blue concentrate.
The two reservoirs are attached to the radiator by a dual aluminum mount from singularity computers. All the tubing is Bitspower Crystal Link Tubing (12mm OD) and all fittings are Bitspower rigid fittings in deluxe white. To turn this into a more custom build look I've covered all standard pass through cable holes with white acrylic and added 4 passthrough's (4 new holes were drilled into the case to achieve this setup) so the water cooling disappears into the case and is looped in the back towards the reservoir/radiator. In addition to the water loop pass through all cables holes where made to fit just the required cable through and had to be wired after being pulled through the wall, to ensure a clean flush look. The dual tone color scheme was carried through as much parts as possible, the cables itself where all hand sleeved with paracord and 16 gauge wire down to the fan/reservoir mount screws that are anodized in blue and red. All Fans are controllable via corsairs commander pro to ensure flexibility for additional overclocking. There are also 2 x Cryorig XT140 fans that can be mounted on the bottom of the case for intake air if needed.
