Hello all,
I just wanted to make this post so I won't spam the Your PC ATM thread all the time.
Anyway, I have a lot of spare parts and I just can't/won't get rid of it, therefor a new small project is in order.
It had to be water cooled as I no longer have the original cooler for the graphics card.
All, except the case, are spare parts.
Old parts
Mobo: MSI Z97i Gaming ACK
Cpu: i7-4790k
RAM: 2x 4GB G.Skill TridentX 2400MHz
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 SC GAMING ACX 2.0
SSD: Kingston something -> will be replaced
PSU: Corsair SF600
---
Water cooling bits: EK, Bitspower, Alphacool, Koolance, and various others
New Part(s)
Case: Fractal Design Define Nano S
The build
A lot of eye balling and searching the web for ideas.
Finally use for the fan hub!
So the tube from the cpu to the reservoir isn't horizontal. Yep, I know but I don't mind.
Water & leak testing after I finished the air test. Frosty tubes? Ugh, too much work.
After a couple of hours of testing.
Added a drain. The ball valve will be straighten out and the fitting and tube will only be attached when it needs to drain.
I did try to tie the tube to the chassis but OMG that was a PITA, so no.
I will also add a fill port, cause why not? I will, unfortunately, need to buy a stubby fitting.
The res barely touches the gpu but thank tech jesus for gpu sag
To do list
- Clean sh!t
- Flush stuff
- Buy a fitting
- Wait for cables
- Play games
Thanks for visiting!
