It's been five years since I completed LiquidKhaos v3 and the time has come to once again upgrade some of the components. I'm pretty excited about this build and felt like sharing where I came from and where I got to. It appears during our migration my original build logs disappears so I'll provide a summary of the revisions and where we are going now.

LiquidKhaos v2
 
This was the start to my water cooling adventure; I was hooked from this point and my most favored design came in v3 with the help of a lot of people on this forum. There was one guy who spent nights talking to me on the phone going over design concepts and parts needed. He was truly my inspiration and for some reason I have forgotten his username after so many years. I hope one day to reconnect with him and thank him for everything he did.
 

 
Whats next?
 
Everything is on order and once it arrives I will be breaking down v3 and building up v4.
 
Stay tuned; I will post updates to this thread through my progress with photos along the way.
 
I'd like to thank the folks of this forum, the guys at EVGA, and the community everywhere that has made our passion reality.
 
 
 

This is going to rock!

Indeed cant wait

I remember your last build which was quite nice. Didn't you have a different user name, [possibly fission] and went to pursue a pilot's career? Might be thinking of another member, but the rig looks like that one. Looking forward to see what you come up with. Nice case, I have a similar one. 

Thanks, and yes that was me -- username was LiquidKhaos. The pilot thing never took off, ended up staying in IT and moving to PA.

I've got the CPU loop together; just waiting on it to purge and leak test--getting a lot of cavitation in the system. I think I may need to turn down the pump since it's only pushing water through CPU block and not the whole board like my old setup.
 
Once it's done I'll fire it up and check it all out.
 

 

 

 

 

I sure do love the case badge they give us. It's running really great; just wish I had my EKWB blocks for the 780's. It's on 18-day back order. :(
 

 

Well; I am now complete--I had a little issue with my Intel 510's, I couldn't get them up to 6G speeds so I decided to pick up a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB.
 
Overall; I am so impressed with this rig -- it's insane what it can do!
 
Here are some photos from the GPU blocks; she passed a leak test without any issues.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Here is a screenshot of Battlefield 4 at 2560x1600 Ultra.

Wow that looks absolutely awesome. Great job.          
 
 
*BR given in the first post for a great Mods Rig thread.

Just ran a Heaven benchmark -- freaking LOVE these 680 SC's! I haven't even begun overclocking the CPU or GPU; I'm able to play BF4 in ultra with zero lag; don't think I really care to overclock now.
 

Thanks!
 
I just ordered a new 1TB WD Green HDD for storage and two of these;

I decided I wanted to upgrade my controllers because if one fan dies; I can't tell if it's on the backside of my rad's--the lights on my controller don't indicate a power outage. At least with FC I can see the RPM gone.

Love it. I didn't know what to do with all the badges I received from the parts I bought, good use of yours.
