here's My first custom loop build, still working on it.
need to add another vid card, M2 drive/drives and a better quality SSD.
also need to paint the hard drive blue bits white or red, still deciding ?
and also thinking to make a red or white perspex cover for the PSU and maybe the pump too or at least the back end of the pump.
and also still deciding if to cool the vid cards too, probably not at this stage though as they run pretty cool anyway.
might do the led mod on the vid cards to change from blue to red LED's if i don't cool the cards.

Specs :
Thermaltake Core V-71 case
Gigabyte Z170x Gaming G1 mobo
i7 6700k CPU
16gb GSkill Ripjaws 3000mhz
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 G1 Gaming 4GB Vid. "1 more to come"
Corsair Hx1000i PSU
old 512 SSD and 2 x WD black 2tb hd "updating to 512gb M2 and 512gb Samsung 850 pro and bigger single hard drive"
still researching the best way to go with SSD/hard drive config.
UV stuff lit up with 3 x old school black cathodes as i prefer the effect they give over the new LED UV lighting.
 
How are the GPU temps there, Kharma?
Should be pretty good with that spacing!
 
the cards run pretty cool ATM, usually idle around 30c, the room the comps in is pretty warm and they are 32c and 34c

yep starting to like this board a bit more now Quad, since getting it to run a bit better now.

P.S. the coolant in the res looks a bit dirty, it's not ;) it's just the colour balance or shading of the pic...
 
NZXT Noctis 450, 360 rad on top, 240 on the front, EK Vardar fans on both, EK CPU block on my 4770K, and EK Acetal and Nickel full cover blocks on my pair of r9 290s; had to drill some holes in the GPU water blocks to make them fit 4 capacitors that are slightly too tall.

It's pretty much silent, and seems to cool everything real well.

Finally got the kit for my Hadron. This is a nice little case I have to say

Looks nice and clean Dustin! :thup:
Love the clear tubing. Usually people use coloured tubing. I personally like clear :)

Which reminds me, I never posted my saberkitty here!
These are older pics, the only thing I've changed is some tubing and installed the RX 360 rad in the back.
I already have plans for the larger version of this case I call "Modulo". Pics will come when I build it.
Hard drives are off to the side in their own quick MDF shelf.

Looks good Dustin. Excellent job with the wiring. I think the only improvement I would make is to add grommets. But that's not really necessary. Well done.

Nice set up but 1500w PSU is way overkill for that rig unless you're planning to go 3 way SLI and do some serious ocing.
