The Full PC build, all soft tube water cooling.
The Full PC build, all soft tube water cooling.
The motherboard and GPU, I 3D printed clips to mount a RGB strip on the side of my GPU. My GPU was originally a EVGA SC 1070, it used a founders edition PCB. I used the Thermaltake Pacific GPU water block and removed the air cooler the card had.

The reservoir and radiator, this is the XSPC 480 Radiator and the Thermaltake res/pump combo. Its about 26oz of water, I have been using distilled water in the loop and I have never had an issue with corrosion/ galvanization.

This is the Nucleus, named after the case (Core P5) and the fans (Bohr's Model Atom). The case is a Thermaltake Core P5 and the fans have a custom grille I 3D printed. The fans are Corsair HD 120s, I have 5 in the system now. I have custom printed a cable cover for the PSU, Fan holder and cable combs for the sleeved cables. The sleeved cables are from Silverstone, purchased on Amazon, I further printed cable combs for the GPU cable. The 24 Pin Motherboard power cable would have a cable comb, but due to the design of the case the cable gets squished. Behind the the grommet is the bracket to mount the HDDs, so to have a cable comb I would have to sacrifice 1 of 3 rear HDD slots.
