Started ordering parts for this thing in Feb. Now I finally have it how I want it after a few changes.

I have a Koolance TMS-200 plus expansion board taking inputs from 4 temp sensors, and 2 koolance flow meters (INS-FM17) coming out of the XSPC reservoir. It also monitors and controls all the fans. A screenshot of it running is in the last shot. The TMS is installed on the backside behind the hotswap hard drive area.

I also use Everest's OSD panel on a 7" USB monitor to watch the mobo and GPU temps.

List of parts are in sig.

Sweet looking overall. Is your graphics card torqued or am I just being fooled by your photography? It looks really bent to me.
 
Very nice job! I just installed my EK-Supreme HF full nickel yesterday and just love it. I went with UV reactive coolant but must admit the white tubes are classy.
 
Thanks!

Yeah the vid card is slightly torqued, but it looks much worse though a lens - hardly noticeable with the naked eye. Still, I wish the temp probes had fit by the bottom radiator where I had wanted them but there's no room.

Oh and the pump flows are different because the higher flow one is the 18W version of the DDC.

I've always been a fan of UV reactant coolant, but this time I wanted to try something different. First time I don't use transparent tubing.

Very nicely done..It's clear you put a lot of hard work into the fit and finish..I love the white tubes as well...

 
Did you have to file down the grooves in the dual res to make it fit the 800d right? I had to do it on mine or the locks wouldn't work on the upper bays as the dual res stretched the bays a little.

Thanks for the pictures as that reminds me i need to order some extenders for my compression fittings also. Nice build enjoy it.

The ek block on mine is pretty heavy also i need to make a small brace for mine also to get some of the weight off of it.
 
Thanks for the comments!

The "missing" tube for the 140mm at the bottom actually goes through the back of the case and it's a black tygon tube with a smaller wall thickness, but the same 3/8 ID. Works great with no kinks.

You can sort of see it in the fifth picture if you look closely where all the tubes merge towards the reservoir/pump combo.

@KILLER_K
Yeah I had to file them down. I wasn't happy about it, but there was no other way. Also, the screw-less bay lock of the case only sort of holds it in place.

It's not a very firm hold at all. I think the tubing does a better job of holding it there. If there was significant push or pull on that particular reservoir in this particular case from the tubes it would pop out or recess.

I might make a brace for the vid card...or maybe change the temp probes location. So far everything works perfectly, but who knows maybe even a little flex might hurt it over time. The pictures exaggerate the amount of flex though.


There are several combos for fitting a 140mm radiator on the bottom without modding the case (you might only have to unscrew the plastic stuff down there). You can do push/pull easily and use shrouds etc.
