Great job everyone! weve got a talented group here at OCF! heres my rig finally close to completion. just missing one more fan.

sorry for the crummy pics. a photographer i am not.

Nice rig....

Check your GPU blocks. If those are the same EK blocks that I had on my 980ti, the flow in the bottom is reversed (Assuming flow is Rad -> CPU -> GPU -> GPU).
The flow needs to go through the jet plate to the cooling fins.
Mine was a reference PCB, so I could be wrong.

Thanks for posting this Soulcatcher. This is something that has me thinking now. My original build used an EK-FC dual serial bridge. but looking at the design of these it appears that only one of the two GPU's would recieve water in from the "inlet" while the other GPU would receive water form the "outlet". I need to do more research on this apparently. I'll report back here with my findings. I'm guessing it doesn't make much difference.

they arent the same gpus. i started off with a GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 980Ti 6GB WINDFORCE 3X OC and had to get a EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB GAMING ACX 2.0+ because i couldnt find another gigabyte. they have different pcbs/blocks. i think the evga has a reference pcb but i dont remember tbh. i couldnt figure out a way to run the tubing from inlet to inlet so i ran it that way. temps are great with one idling now at 24c and the other at 25c. i played bf4 last night for about an hour and neither card broke 50c. so it isnt hurting performance, good ol ek blocks! tbh im pretty sure i ran my 580gtx set up the same way and the temps were about the same.

Very nicely done PillaPithri55!

I was going to do a build log but tbh I got too much into the build and forgot to take many pictures.

This is my water cooled ryzen 5 1600 inside a phanteks p400s tempered glass edition case. Using mostly EK water cooling products.

Triple radiator in the front, had to compromise with a thin one as space was limited and is why I went for the triple rad.

Slightly annoyed I can’t connect the monoblock lighting yet but otherwise pretty happy.

Current build: J.A.C. - Temper Tantrum

​

New Build in progress: Project Gray Scale

​

 

[Blaylock]

Very nice builds Darth. What case is Temper Tantrum using?

 

[Darthbaggins]

Very nice builds Darth. What case is Temper Tantrum using?

It's in an InWin 303 and Gray Scale is in a Phanteks Enthoo Pro M SE

 

[GTXJackBauer]

Very nice.

On your Project Gray Scale, are you using Phanteks Halo lighting on the fans? Looks that way. Curious how it looks and if its the plastic or aluminum version.

Very nice ModPC. You should make your own thread/build log with lots of pics. This thread is mainly used for finished systems.

I recently upgraded my PC and here it is:

Well done.
