All the fittings!
Coolant and tubing
Repainted block, testing fittings color... (Yes I know it needs cleaning)
... found gold to be better
Repainted GPU block (yes, I know it's not cleaned)
CPU and GPU block together
Fitting the pump in the back...
And showing how I run tubing there...
Random bending shot.
Test fitting things
Vertical GPU bracket
Test fitting without bottom radiator
Everything inside
Everything inside
And bleeding it
Project Golden ice (O11D)
My first venture into custom loop cooling
Build time:
late autumn 2018
History behind the build:
This build was my first venture into hardline tubing, and does in many ways serve as a working prototype/test-bed for an upcoming build and a replacement for my previous h500p build. Many of the things I tried to do didn't make it to the build here, like delving into custom PSU shrouds and a couple fun ideas I have for loop design.
What kind of custom work went into it:
Obviously it's water-cooled. Beyond that the vertical GPU bracket got tweaked to support a bottom radiator, and metal details on the ram, AS well as rhw CPU and GPU block were re-painted gold
What i'd like to improve if it were today:
I'd love to write a wall of text here, but that'd just spoil my upcoming build. All I can say is that it will feature a socket upgrade (finally) and dual 1080ti. So stay tuned for that.
The build did eventually get upgraded with an 8700k, 16gb 4266mhz ram, and a second 1080ti, named project Royal
