Perfect, thanks for the info, going to be doing almost the exact same setup (Same top rad, diff right rad, but same thickness).  I've also got Bitspower's full motherboard block for the X99 classy, and just for giggles EK's liquid shims and blocks for the ram as well.  Going for a nickle, black chrome / black style finish, just praying it works inside the DG-87, this was originally for a custom chassis.

I am wondering how the noise level is when you're at full load? My current 115i corsair aio boosts the pump and fan..starts screaming after a few minutes of gameplay. Using a broadwell-e 6900k OC to 4.4, I keep it on balanced power...
 
I don't think I can get a better OC on this cpu, but I do want to reduce the amount of noise when gaming. I would also be adding two 1080ti's to the loop once they come out. I'd probably do a 420x45 on right and 280x30 or 360x30 on top to keep away from the mounting issues. x99 monoblock and PWM D5 pump as well. 
 
Sorry I can't provide exact dB levels when its at full load, but what noise levels are you experiencing with your current build at full? I would hope it's moderate and not annoying..

Wow, that turned out quite beautiful!! I like the green on the board. What do you think of the Corsair maglev fans, are they worth the cost?? Very nice, thanks for showing it off.

Impressive build... very inspiring to see someone else using the same components! Although that cooling loop setup... wow. Just wow! 
 
I've got the same case, 2x EVGA 1080 FTW's, and mobo. Still waiting on a few parts before starting the build, including ordering ModFlex cables. I've a couple of questions though...
 
I've seen a few reviews of the DG87 case, where the biggest complaint seems to be cable management, primarily the PS cable length & I/O. Though you seemed to have mastered the cable management quite beautifully. Did you order the default length ModFlex cables, or custom lengths? Did you encounter any cabling issues of note? 
 
Secondly, I'm admittedly a newbie at building my own rig, but I am a little confused about the 2-way EVGA HB bridge, even after looking at the EVGA chart images on the other forums etc... which 2 way bridge did you install? 
 
Cheers!

Coppocks, in his parts list 1080's [EVGA SLi Pro HB 2-slot bridge]. Not the V2 bridge ,but the HB [high bandwidth]
 
http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=100-2W-0027-LR  Read the info about them below, if you don't know about them. Hope that helps you out.

Notfordman... thank you! I looked at his parts list on more than one occasion and it somehow escaped me! But I now understand the EVGA HB bridge spacing completely and have one on the way. Sometimes it's the simple things!

So this happened...

 
Soon as I get this stuff installed, I will post with thermals, noise levels (I will compare it to a known volume, I don't have a dB meter), and will comment on the cabling :)

Nice! I'm projecting to do almost the exact same build. With a front push/pull on the Nemesis 420GTX, do you think it could fit? 
 
And could you do some closer picture of your loop, to let us see how every thing is interconnected? It'would help me a lot in my buying.
 
Thx :)

All done!

Great!
 
Could you do a picture of how the GTS and the GTX are connected in the top right corner ?
 

 
Thx

Re: [BUILD] deusEXmachina {in progress} 2016/09/30 06:53:32 (permalink)


Okay so.... 
 
Green Line: GTS 420 is on top, its a x-flow so there are ports on both ends of the rad. Water flows from the pump, into the GTS420 with the GREEN line [90* fitting was used, so that the tubing could be run along top of the other radiator. I also had to remove the stock LED from the case, so I could stuff the tubing into the recess, or else the door would not close properly.
 
Yellow Line: water flows from the GTS 420 into the CPU block (45* fittings, and normal fittings were used)
 
Red Line: Flows from processor block, into the GPU blocks, and then the tubing goes from the gpu blocks, up behind the RES bracket, and into the GTX 420 radiator mounted on the right, this uses a 90* fitting on the right port (looking at the radiator, its the right port, hardwarelabs gives specific cooling instructions based on what fan config you are using)

Yellow Line #2 (by reservoir): Water flows out of the GTX 420 radiator, and into the reservoir, from there it flows back into the pump (combination of 90* fittings, and 45* were used)

Thats pretty much it, takes a bit of finagling, but you can definitely make a badass loop inside this case :)

Firestrike - 29,356 (http://www.3dmark.com/fs/10338313)
Firestrike Extreme - 19,450 (http://www.3dmark.com/fs/10332925)
TimeSpy - 12,852 (http://www.3dmark.com/spy/532714)

Finally got TimeSpy working, was a corrupt download, Steam was not removing the full 3DMark directory, so I had to do it manually, and let it redownload it all. Need to work on my overclock a bit, this is strictly testing with "basic" voltage curve, need to play around with the manual settings to see if I can get it all higher. I think I can safely get 30k Firestrike, 20k Firestrike Extreme and 13k TimeSpy with a bit of work..

I saw that the other day... Really wishing I went with the Rampage edition 10
 
Only thing I didn't like is that they have the chipset passively cooled, not running water from the monoblock..

I decided against the monoblock - I didnt want to have to cut the IO shield heatpipe, because I wanted to keep the IO shield as it is, its a great look. Also, I didnt like that the monoblock needs to use the AURA RGB header at bottom of the board, so it clutters with cabling. It doesnt use the stock LED connectors.

Just wanted to say you build inspired me to finally do my own loop. My first one!
 
Got the same res as yours, though I think the one I got has more spirals.
 
Got the Black Ice nemesis GTR 420 rad. Just one for now. Down the road I plan on a second rad once the 1080ti is released. I'll be getting two and watercooling them as well. I may hit you up if I hit a snag.
 
Also got EK's monoblock for the x99 board.
 
Hoping I can break the 4.5 barrier once it's all done with my 6900k. I was close with the corsair AIO, but I'm restricted due to the VRMs being poorly cooled on this board, Asus Strix x99.
 
I am guessing you're monitoring and controlling everything via Asus AISuite? How do you like it?
 
That's the only thing I'm not sure about is proper monitoring and control over curves. 
 
Pretty excited over this build!

Glad I could inspire you! Haha

I don't use AISuite for anything, I have nothing to control really... Pump runs 100%, fans are on PWM off the CPU header, pretty much all being handled by default settings for fans and lighting.

That looks great

Just got the reservoir and nemesis in the mail. Think I'll start a build log for once. 
 
For the Resevoir, I'm guessing the cathode with the 3 pin connector needs an adapter? How do you have yours plugged in? Feel like I'm missing something there.

You need an inverter to plug it into, I had a old inverter from another cold cathode kit, that I painted black.

You can find the inverter here, or just google "cold cathode inverter"

http://www.performance-pc...athode-light-kits.html



You can see the black inverter all the way to the left, it looks like a small rectangular box with holes for a speaker.
