Everything in this build will be black, with white light. The white light I will probably turn off after this build is done and I have gotten the pictures taken.
I don't really do full builds anymore, I kind of morph parts and modify what I currently have. I would like to say this was sponsored by Watercool, but it wasn't, I just really like what they have.
 
Current Build. You can see what it looked like before this even if you look in my ModsRigs.

 
Watercool Heatkiller EVGA GTX 1070/1080 FTW blocks and backplates.

 
Watercool Heatkiller CPU waterblock.

 
Watercool Heatkiller Eheim pump.

 
Watercool Heatkiller reservoir. Screwed into cardboard to cut out for a stencil so I can drill accurate holes in the case.
Will be doing the same thing for the pump. Waiting on rubber mounts in the mail for that.

 
Bitspower compression fittings. Some plugs are old and the logo is discolored, but not going to see them as they will be hidden.

 
Corsair ML120's and a ML140 Pro fan.

 
Silverstone PWM fan hub. Plan to run these fans at about 40-45% hopefully.

 
Nanoxia white LED bars. Probably won't have these turned on for full time use, not sure yet.

 
EVGA sleeved PSU cables.

 
Not pictured is the Primochill tubing (black of course), and the bridge for the GPU waterblocks.
 
More to come as things go along.

nice fixing to redo my loop in a d-87 soon tuned in

I hope USPS pulls through for you eventually. Looking forward to more pics of this mod.

Blocks mounted and tested real quick to see if they work. BIOS showed up good for the split second I let it run. Dry tested them because I don't want to have to drain the loop and trouble shoot after its all set up.

Thermal pads and TIM ready for install.


Back Plate


Water Block



Tomorrow morning drain the loop and rip everything out. Then mount the CPU block and possibly mock up the reservoir location.

Tear down took longer than I thought. Tomorrow will be clean the hell out of everything. I may next day deliver some new radiators. Not because they are contaminated or dust packed. I can fix that. The FPI is higher than I would like for a quiet build. These are some very old Black Ice GTX radiators from 09'/10'.
Back when I cared more about performance and less about noise.

Anyways. Few pictures.
One of these days I will buy a Metro Data Vac...


Kind of suspected I had some issues because my flow was not as good as it used to be. Still decent temps though, and flow was enough to disturb the water going back in the reservoir. So I want to concerned about it. Seen way worse on these forums and it's not all that plugged. Just some slight corrosion.

Said screw it. Two new radiators 2nd day delivery rush processing. Hoping to have Wednesday.

Did you get that because of the high FPI (on the old 480s)? I have the same GTX 480 radiator laying around unused at the moment, I keep hoping to rebuild with it eventually. 
 
Looking good so far, you gotta love the German engineering on the Watercool products.

If you are talking about my old radiators then yes. New ones are the SR2 and they are are low FPI at 9.

Something about Watercool products I like more than EK. They both make excellent stuff. Thinking it's that EK blocks are very squared off and that is just to generic.

I know what you mean, the aesthetics of EK is the only thing that is keeping me from picking up Movieman's pack of 980 Ti blocks in the marketplace, they aren't as pretty as others.

The hardest part. I want the tubing level arched over the memory. Will be annoying if I ever have RAM issues. Also need to make sure the reservoir is level. Had an idea as I was typing this.

Looking good so far.  Hope you are having fun.

So, um... yea.



I was sitting there cleaning the drive of junk files and looking at my CPU temps go to 99 wondering "Is my block defective? Bad contact, air pocket?" Then it hit me as I tilt my head back thinking. "How long have you been doing this?".

I'm just going to peel it off put a small drop down and smash it back on.

Currently stress testing CPU and all of its components plus the GPU's to get the system warm for Firestrike and work on the GPU overclock. Pictures and test results later today.

This build rocks!

looking good bro how you fill your loop my mountain mod case spoiled me over the years makes filling easy got to figure out how to do that on the dg-87?

It's a two port top. A fitting, hose, and funnel. Kind of a pain as it does not want to go in because of the air pressure in the loop. So you have to pour slow.

Overclock was not game stable. Had to go back to +150 (2050Mhz) on the core. Not a huge deal. Also game temps actually reach 40C on the hottest GPU. Not complaining though as I can game in relative silence now.

Looks great. Making me think of getting a WB for my 1080 TI FE...
