Third Water Cooling Rig

Hello all,

Well I finally finished my new and pretty expensive watercooling kit today. Compared to the custom loop I made in the first rig, this build was as easy as pie (the ones you just buy!)

One of the most important things I learned with this build was that having nice tubing really pays off. The masterkleer 7/16" was sooooooo easy to work compared to the masterkleer 5/8" ID tubing I used in the first build.

The second important thing I learned that having a resevoir makes filling the loop like sleeping... no effort at all! I was stupid enough to make a complete closed loop in the first build (meaning NO RES or even a T-Line) and boy was filling and bleeding that thing a complete pain! The Resevoir was custom made and only cost me about 3 bucks! I was going to get the Micro Res from Swiftech but everyone was sold out. This resevoir was better though because it fit my loop orientation perfectly and it held more water.

Temperatures are kick arse! The components look very pleasing to the eye.


Thanks for looking,

Looks sweet. I'd like to see more pics in the area of the res and pump config.
More pics altogether, 1 just dont cut it.

Looks real nice. I love the custom pump/res haha, show some more pics!! also what kind of temps you getting?

Hahaha sorry all,

I like what you did with that res, similar idea to how I had my first wc setup.
The rad mount looks clean as well.

Temps?

How loud is the external setup?

Temps are not too accurate.

The RAD outside is not noisy. The fans I have are total craptastic. I do not know the DBA ratings but the majority of the noise is from motor tick. The air moving through the RAD is not noisy at all, the hard drive makes more noise.

Thanks for all the responses,
Bryan D
