Meet my saving grace.
From the start, to where it's at now, and soon a GPU waterblock \ 1080 Ti to come, still undecided but I'm 60\40 on it. 60 being for it.
 

 

 

 

 
 

 
 

 

 
 
Ignore the PCI-E cables for now if you can, I know it's an eye sore but I was seriously wanting to post this for quite some time and just wanted to boot already. I need to clean up the PCI-E cable extensions on the backside still. Hence no pictures of the back :P

    Going to be hardlining this soon, I'll post pics when it shows up and gets done, or progress of it. (EK Cryofuel clear until primochill vue is readily available in the market)
     
    This is how it sits for now
     

     
    happy building guys

    Very first bend, not too shabby. (This is my first time doing rigid)

     
    Lets tear this thing apart...
     

     
     
    .. Drain port\tubing\plug\whichever
     

     
    CPU Block re-installed after flush, some more fittings done\o-ringed + put in
     

     
    Coming along...
     

     
     
    Lets get that last tube in, and clean up that inlet port to radiator.. 
     

     
    LEAK TEST TIME!

     
     
     
    .... Now that's a tight fitment, holy... Not even enough room for a hair strain.
     

     
     
    END PROJECT; 
     

     
     
     
     
     
    and you may be a redneck if... ( only got 3 bends out of this old 90s heatgun, had to buy a new)

    I don't know how you managed to make that fit but you did it. Kudos for your work.

    Alrighty, time to add onto this build, ordered this today; 
     

     
    will post pictures sometime next week of the build having a waterblock added to the GPU and a 280mm radiator up top.
     
    stay tuned! :)

    the goodies
     
    flushed, taking apart some things, 280mm rad put in the top of the case

     
    gpu block installed and put in
     

     
    spent a long while trying to figure out how I'm going to do this bend from rad port to rad port;
     


     
     
     
    some tubes bent and put in; 

     
    trying to sketch up something for that rad port to rad port

     

     
    not pretty but it works and it was a hell of a bend, spent like 2 hours on this tube :\
     
    casualties; 
     
     
     
    Got her all nice and set up, flushed the loop about 3 times... went to go fill it with EK Cryofuel Clear and I got greeted with this.
     

     
    I flushed about 5 gallons of distilled water through the loop after this fiasco, I still don't know what happened or how. This is how it's looking right now, not good but much better then that crap that was in there
     
     

     
     
    I'm going to have to disassemble this entire loop because of that coolant. It still has powdery debris stuck in my tube, and I can't imagine how bad the fin stacks are in the waterblocks.
     
     
    Will replace it with koolance 702 clear.
     
     
    30 minutes of heaven benchmark;

     
    peaked 35c, it idles around 24c
    cpu is 30c-50c

    Wow that's a bummer. Hope you can clear out the debris.

    Wow, that would be very unfortunate. I no longer use coolant and just went with a silver kill coil and distilled water.

    Yea, I'm pretty bummed about it, I spent a long while doing this as I'm not very good at bending tubes (rip two 36" tubes) just to have that happen. Hope that I can save the tubes still, but idk.
    When ever the koolance 702 comes. (was recommended to me by many people.) I'll go ahead and scrub down the blocks, also picked up some mayhem blitz to see if I can't knock it out of the park that way, instead of tearing down something I literally just put together.
