Hi,
I wanted to post pictures of my first water cooled setup, and ask a question.
Setup
Case: Fractal Design Define S
MB: MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3)
CPU: i5 2500k
RAM: Kingston HyperX 2x4GB 1600MHz
SSD: 2x Crucial BX100 250GB
GPU: 7950
PSU: EVGA G2 650w
Cooling
EKWB X360 KIT
EKWB GPU-block
EKWB fittings and angles
Koolance filter
Phobya taps
Destilled water and Biocide Extreme
Not the cleanest water cooled build, but I am pretty satisfied as it is my first. I will add more angled fittings and re-do the setup when I upgrade from my 2500k. If the setup gets clean enough then, I will add a large grey tempered glass to the side door, and some LED's. As well as change the Noctua fans for some all black ones.
The PC is now undergoing leak test, and has been on for a couple of hours. But I am getting worried about the pump temperature, as it is really hot. It is a PWM-pump, so I can not control the speed without the PC on. Therefore it is running at 100% constantly. Is that OK? It wont break?
Please criticize my build, so I can improve until next time!
