I finally have all of my parts and pieces together in my HAF 912. Almost everything is built inside the case except for two fans on top. Other than that...I'll post put some pictures and maybe talk about some of them too.

The first pic has the Swiftech H220X, (2) EK GTX 770 Waterblocks, (1) EK GTX Backplate, (1) Alphacool UT60 360 Radiator, (1) Primochill HEX-fan guard (which I still need to attach), (1) EK FC Terminal Dual Serial 3-Slot Bridge, (1) EVGA 1000 G1 PSU, (1) Team Xtreme 2666 CL 11 Ram, (4) 3/8" Barbs, (1) 10' Primochill Elegant White 3/8" ID by 5/8" OD Tubing and finally (1) Silver Kill Coil.

Second picture was to show that the Swiftech H220X could fit on the inside top of the case. I was skeptical but believed it would work.

Third picture was during the install process. I probable changed my mind 15 billion zillion times on the tubing route. Lol. However, I think I found the optimal tubing route for my own case.

Fourth picture was during the leak testing. BTW...there were no leaks to be found!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Finally, the fifth and final picture is the system up and running (after the leak test of course). The loop order goes H220X > UT60 360 RAD > GPUs > CPU > H220X

Dontcha just love the EK terminals. I do. I read on the forums here that someone couldn't fit the round o-rings in the oval spaces. :) It took me like two minutes to do six. Is that Primochill LRT? White just isn't my color for tubing, but it looks good. Welcome to the addiction! :welcome::welcome::welcome:
 
I do love the new EK terminals. Made the install a lot simpler. It's the advanced LRT tubing. I chose white because it seems like everyone does black with blue or even clear with blue. Trying to be out of the box here. Lol. I was having some trouble with the 8 pin splitter from Swiftech. But I think I found the solution to my problem.
 
yamaha nice build but I do have a suggestion, maybe try flipping the Psu to draw air from the bottom of the case. It looks like there is a grill there so you can do that, thought I may be mistaken. If it can be done just stick something under the case so the carpet doesn't hinder the air flow. I say this only because the first thing I saw was the Ek bridge and was like, it would suck if it leaked into the PSU?
 
I had to flip the psu with the fan side up because the 8-pin cpu cable is a couple inches too short. :mad: Otherwise I would. Now I think it's time to stress the cpu and gpus for about 30 minutes to 1 hour to see how well this setup cools them down. :attn:
 
Nice build Yamaha! Enjoy that thing! I also run the Primochill in white, but my case and radiator are also white.

Cheers mate.
 
Thanks. I figured I had enough white with the tubing and the white Swiftech logo. Lol. Also, (as a side note) my computer is sitting on top of my desk. I like to build things on the floor first so I can lye down trying to squeeze my hands in tight places.
 
I will also post in the WC Picture thread. Later on, in a year, I'll probably add an external reservoir to remove all the air out of the loop and a mcp50 pump from Swiftech. Then I'll be able to use hard tubing if I wanted too. :eek:
