Looking good CP!
Are you going to add the GPU to your water cooling loop?

I'm debating it. The GPU runs extremely cool to be honest and it is already overclocked. So not sure if worth it as it may heat up the CPU a bit. It will look nicer however. I'll figure that out a little later down the road.

I actually moved away from water cooling my GPU(s) when I upgraded from my GTX 780's to the GTX 980Ti a couple years ago for the same reasons you mentioned :toast:

Well for now a small, yet big update on how things are coming along. Switched over to the Corsair Obsidian 900D case. Done for this stage of upgrades. Next up is some different fittings to clean up the loop, and I need to purchase a sleeving kit to see if I can do some sleeving on the front panel wiring, pump wiring, and a few other misc wires that don't match and are a bit of an eye sore. That, and get the front three case fans to match the one in the rear of the case, and on the radiator. Let me know what you guys think.

Holy mother chicken that looks great CP nice work.... Although if I may make a suggestion the 8pin GPU power cable would look better coming out the same port hole as the 24pin mobo power and plug in over the top instead of from below give it a go see how it looks post a before and after change and let us argue over it

You're right, I think it would look better. I'll definitely give it a go and see how it looks. Thanks for the suggestion. :toast:

Hmm how did I miss this? Welcome back CP! I wondered where you'd got off to

Chicken Patty · Jul 11, 2017

Had to go off and run things at the Chicken Patty factory for a while. But I'm back, and better than ever! LOL

Chicken Patty · Jul 11, 2017

just placed an order for a couple of MDPC goodies. Time to tidy up the case wiring :rockout:

Chicken Patty · Jul 15, 2017

Some goodies came in from MDPC and Cold Zero. Some sleeving goodies, and a midplate for the 900D. Sleeving is for the front panel wiring, and fan cables as my PSU cables are already sleeved. Now, to find the time to do it all.

Yes sir, still am. But here I am, doing what I can :toast:

Good work - clean!

Hello all,

Bit overdue for an update, but here it is. Long and busy night. Finally got around to installing the Cold Zero mid plate. Also got around to sleeving the front panel connectors, removing the ones I wasn't going to use, sleeving my pump wires, and more cable management. I got rid of some zip ties and used clamps this time around. Next step in the project is:

Sleeve the SATA wiring from the HDD cage (awaiting more MDPC SATA sleeving)
New Fans
Sleeve and cable manage new fans
re-work the water loop to clean up the tubing a bit. Adding some angled fittings, etc.

I also might go ahead and sleeve the 24pin myself with the MDPC sleeving that I have. I bought the sleeving and the right tools, and now that I'm getting more comfortable sleeving I think I might give it a shot. Something just doesn't convince me about this 24 pin, just doesn't look right to me. Can't get the wires organized/tidy no matter what I do.

Stay tuned for more updates, and please let me know what you think so far!

This is before I took it apart today, installed the new RAM.

...and the money shot

I must say awesome work, reminds me on my timne of returning back to the source. When I used to have my Asus system.

I look quite hopeful to see your next work of Install new sleeved extensions when they arrive & Plan for a water cooling loop.
