Project YellowJacket
Project YellowJacket is my first endeavor in liquid cooling. I decided to go with the EK Fluid Gaming A360G full kit because it is had everything I needed in one unit (though I would recommend purchasing some aluminum adapter fittings to make pipe routing easier). YellowJacket is also my first attempt to make a "showcase" pc, complete with custom cables from Cablemod. The corsair 460x Crystal case is an absolutely beautiful case, though a bit snug for a full water cooling loop. All in all I am very proud of this pc, but I would welcome any constructive criticism to me help improve as a builder.
UPDATE:
It has been almost a year since I built this system. In that time, I upgraded my monitor to a 1440p ultrawide 100hz monitor. Since then my GPU levels out at around 72 C and my CPU averages around 55 C while playing graphically intensive games. Is this normal or is my loop inadequate? I have searched all over the internet but I cannot find another example like this.
UPDATE:
I reseated my GPU block and now my gpu temps never go beyond 61 deg C.
