Keeping the loop running to bleed the air out overnight
Leak testing with distilled water
Cable management is awesome in this case
Coolant in before adding the dye. Using mayhems pastel white.
Reservoir from Singularity Computers.
Cables management
Vertical mount installed, running white pastel coolant and using the rgb lighting to colour it in use. Note the TIE fighter haha
Hardline liquid gaming rig
First time building a custom liquid cooled pc, I jumped in the deep end and emptied my pockets! It has been around 6 months from the idea through to completion, most of the delay was awaiting for 2080 TI and then the i9 9900k... After initially priming the loop I realised I had a bit of algae that grew in the radiator after I flushed it a month ago, so I spent a day taking it all apart, recleaning everything then making sure it was put back together perfectly, using the opportunity to redo some of the tubing bends - very glad this happened as it allowed me to check everything properly. It was definitely a fun process and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys building PCs and wants a bit more challenge - there's plenty of help available in discord/forums etc. Update: 3dmark Timespy results - https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/31440502? after overclocking CPU and 2080 Ti FE Update: more pictures added after all my peripherals arrived. Seems I've become an Asus fanboy...
