can't wait to see the finished product. 

Moving to Mods Rigs section of Forums 
 
Looking forward to your updates

That small Noctua cooler I recommend to everyone who not overclock system or use mid OC.
It's small, nice, and cool.
 
How much you paid Bitspower fittings, I mean everything?
I wait Performance PC to get GTS360 radiators to order second radiator and Koolance fittings. They told me second week December, and still are Out of Stock. I could build with single radiator for CPU and GPU and add later one more radiator.
And my loop is 100% EKWB now, but I will add radiators HW Labs. In future when I change platform I will easy replace with Watercool Heatkiller series. I can't say it's much nicer than EK but it's far better quality.
 
 
Lian Li PC-O11 is nicest case last years for gamers.
Only because I'm mid 30s PC-O11 WXC was more classic for me. I like him so much.
But I can't install vertical GPU bracket because I have dedicate sound card. Extra sound quality is very important to me.

I like it, I did SFF building before hand and that cooler was a staple

I odnt know the exact price. I also bought a ton of spares in case I decided to change the route. So it was a ton of spares. I live right down the road from a Micro Center and will just return what I dont use. I know it was in the realm of $100-200 buck but if the route goes teh way I think, it should be under $100 after its all installed and spares returned

The previous case I had was the M1 Ncase and I thought nothing could beat that case in just how well it was thought out. Imn going to have to say its probably the M1 Ncase is still probably my favorite but the Lian Li O11 Dynamic is jsut as well, if not better, laid out.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Well I got my prep started yesterday but BF5 called and I had to answer. I will finish prep this morning and begin installing today. 
 
I have identified one potiental issue, I am installing the pump verticalling in the front, with the vertical mount. The top and bottom rads were to be the PE 360s, so with the 250 tube on the pump, it may be too tall. If so, I may turn the one of the res into a 240 or put the smaller res tube back on the pump.

RE: Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic
 
Time to make a spacer to move that side panel - necessity is the mother of invention

So I've hit a road block. Here is what I've done since lunch.

I decided to go another route. I changed the top and side rads to 360 SEs. I then mounted the pump in the front bottom. The bottom rad is gone completely. I did this because the pump wouldnt sit in there with the previous configuration. I ran to MicroCenter and got some barbs and tubing. I ran soft tubing to everything. I had planned to run like this for a week. After that week I was going to drain and mount the GPU vertically. I was to use the week as a clean out and wait for the vertical mount to arrive. This would look better in my opinion and let everything fit better.

However after filling the system, that is when I ran into the road block. I was able to run the pump with everything unplugged but the 12v error light comes on when ever I plug the motherboard in. I swapped the cable and that didnt help. I think the MB is dead. I think it arose from the EKWB back plates poor design. It looks like the screws may not have been straight and the board is bowed slightly. Soooooo .... yeah.........

I have another board on my shelf, going to verify the MB is dead. I've removed all parts and still the MB shows the 12v error light when all parts are removed, also when the 24 pin cable is the only one installed. I've got the remaining parts out but troubleshooting is tomorrows issue. I'm tired of messing with it for the day.

So it turns out my PSU was bad. It was probably the cause of many issues I was seeeing in my MB and GPU. Dont exactly know what was wrong with it, sometimes things would work and other times it didint. Everything is running now so thats all that matters.
 
So I was able to complete the system. YAY!!! I will be uploading pictures and details tomorrow. Its not what I intended but Im content for the most part seeing that its my first time building a custom loop. Still have some work to do but Im up and running. 
I have been running PRime95 for 15 minutes and at full synthetic load @ stock temps, the RIG is running around 36 C.

nice looking Rig

nice job looks sweet.

Thanks guys I try to make things clean as possible, I'm great at math but my artistic skills just aren't there. PC building is as close to art making as I'll get.

I'd show the back but.......its a cable management nightmare. I just got back from a Christmas visit home. If I get the parts in time before I leave for the field for testing mid January, I plan to make cables. I ran out of pins from the last rig I built. I have also yet to over clock it so that is next up on the list as well.


This is the first build in a while I'm actually quite pleased with. Not that I didn't like my other builds, but as soon as they were done I was already thinking about another build. It gave me all kinds of headaches but I hope to keep learning. I doubt I'll tear this one down any time soon and may run it longer than I usually would. I'll keep everyone updated on changes as they occur.

Thanks for all the help and support from everyone here. I did the work but the knowledge given by members played huge parts as well. I hope we can continue to learn together.

Nice Rig, Time to Create a MODS RIGS.

yeah I need to do that. Ive just been too lazy to do it in the time Ive been home. I want to do it after I at least OC it a little bit to have better scores, even if its mostly auto settings or somethings. BF5 has been a time vampire with what time Ive been home. haha

I am liking this new Color as well.
 

 
Thanks, I was actaully very skeptical of the color choices I made. I made a rig a year ago that basically looked like a rainbow unicorm threw up all over it. I loved to look at it....for about a week. it was just too much, especially in non-FPS games. So the next few builds I did had no RGB at all. I liked it but they were SFF builds (Dan Case and M1 NCase), whta could be seen was so compact it didnt amount to much. THis build however, I decided to go with multiple glass panels so I felt it needed something more since it was also more open. I didnt want a rainbow but did want some light. At the time of planning, I was looking to EVGA parts and was watching some of their videos. The particular guy I was watching had a all white PC and I like that look. It was simple yet lit. Starting this build, there was more RGB as you could see. I eventually dropped the pump and CPU block simply becauase of the extra wire. That extra wire just made it look less clean, I also didnt want to add another device in the back and another software program just to control white lights. So I dropped those pieces and settles on just the ML fans and the HydroCopper lighting. I actually liked this design better because it draws the viewers atttention to what is really the centerpiece of the build, the cooling system. When I vertically mounted the card, it just made it that much better.
 
So the last thing was the coolant. Originally I was going to do all white, so I was going to use cloud white coolant. It was out of stock so I was going to have to order it. I put off the order because of all the issues going on. During that time I decided, I like the white lights but would like some color. While looking threw the colors I decided I liked the blue the most. I liked the orange but it looked too Harley Davidson to me when paired with the black case. Nothing against the company, I just dont like the color skeme for a PC. I also considered scarlett but it just didnt look right to me. Thus Azure blue was what I chose. Upon first putting it in I knew it was the right choice for this build. It helps draw attention to the cooling system but isnt over powering like the scarlett many of the other colors in the EK Cloud Coolant line. I put probably way too much thought into it....but this is as close to art as I will probably ever make. Plus I have to look at it every day. I do plan to swap the RAM to some Corsair Dominator RAM. I think it will blend in better and wont be an eye sore. The RAM in there now is good but being all black just doesnt fit the scheme of the whole case. 
 
The one thing I wish I could change, but to my knowledge I cant, is the red color of the temperature readings on the board. I think it would stick out much less if white...but I cant change that.

Oh snap you from the ppcs discord.

You too sir, mod on

A superior build. Well done.

Nice Scores
