Stripped out the PC to allow for the install of the new motherboard. water blocks were cleaned and drained.
Cable mangement on the back side of the p3 with the NZXT hue plus and NZXT grid on the left side, on the right I have an nzxt USB hub and the HDD
Motherboard has been installed along with a EKWB heatsink, RAM block and CPU block. Figuring out placement for the new reservoir and starting to develop the loop
Reservoir and GPU installed onto the build. Mounted the reservoir to the radiator using a bracket from singularity computers. Due to the added thickness from the bracket I had to track down some longer nuts to thread both onto the radiator.
Birds eye of the loop starting to come together. I wanted to try for single bend runs cause i feel it gives off a clean look. Trickiest bend was aligning the Gpu to the reservoir
Front view of the loop completed. decided to straighten out pipe next to the PSU because it looked out of place. Reservoir has also been raised to create seperation between the pump. Ready to leak test?!!
Added the EK acid green coolant to the loop.
Build complete using the NZXT RGB along with UV leds in the water blocks. I like how the green reacts to the UV.
Liquid Green Core
This is version 2 of my core p3 build. Basically had to do maintenance so i decided to upgrade my motherboard, watercool my RAM, increase reservoir size and re-pipe the loop.
I aslo decided to maximise my Hue Plus by adding in more RGB lighting. I wanted these extra RGB strips to be hidden so i ran one strip around the gpu bracket and the other i placed on the underside of the core p3 which required some drilling to achieve.
All watercooling fittings are EKWB Black Nickel. There is a total of 40 fitting used. All water blocks used are EKWB.
This is my second custom loop and I hope you like the end result.
