Build log: Dual SR2 360 rads in Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic (finished)
PHOTOS OF FINISHED BUILD ON PAGE 2.
It's time to upgrade the old i7-2600k workhorse I've had since 2011, and it was fun posting my progress on that build here on this forum. This will be my second custom water cooled build ever, and I'll try my hands on hard tubing for the first time. Priorities for this computer will be as little noise as possible with effective (oversized?) cooling, but still powerful components with headroom for overclocking. The plan is to use radiators designed for low rpm fans to reduce noise as much as possible. I'll try to cram in some RGB heaven (hell) too. Some components are in shipment, so I'll update the post from time to time during the build. First thing will be to check that all components works with stock air cooling, then I'll dismantle everything and start the water job. The size of the radiators will make this a tight fit, but I hope I'll be able to connect everything.
