King 95 case surgery

Those ProPress long radius fitting look really nice!

If covered up or you didn't care about looks that PEX would be ideal to use.

You can get long radius 90 degree fittings of the regular variety as well...probably what I would use if I do this again.

Btw, I used a IC graphite pad on this cpu instead of paste. It's working out great and there shouldn't be a reason for me to ever lift the water block.

I've always wanted to try out the graphite pad, but the initial reports on it were not great compared to paste.

Looks Great Elco!

The only reason I used one is for the fact it would be a pita to drain the loop and remove hard lines just to service the cpu. All previous testing has shown to expect a 3-5c difference on average vs thermal paste. Of the three widely available Thermal Grizzly is slightly better than FrostSheet and the original IC Innovations. Totally worth it in my case as I'm not overclocking or benchmarking much with this gamer anyway. As it sits now it idles on the average of 25c and 10 minutes of Cinebench will see the cores climb to the mid 70's. I don't expect we will ever see the pads outperform thermal paste...unless it was some really bad paste to begin with.

Finally have a game rig back online. Threw a 7800X3D in it and leave this one alone. Best I could do to hide the janky gpu cables.

Nice Rig the copper pipes look fantastic.

Got the 7900 back up and running after a mb rma. Not certain what will be the fate of this one...really should sell it.

Why would you sell it after you just completed it?

I don't have a need for both the 7900 and the 7800X3D and I still like the King 95 case best...especially after modifying it for the cable free mb.

I've never used onboard video, so I completely forgot what it looks like with no video card installed. Looks strange.

Clean and neat...
