Hey guys finally finished my new build. First dive into watercooling and am very pleased with the results. Under Load Have not seen the GPUs go over 24c and ilde from 9-15c. I have my window open and its been about 0-10c here so my ambients are cold =). Had some Hiccups with the WC some little tubing mistakes as you'll see in pics but no leaks and running flawlessly so im happy.

Can take more pics if ya want just a few here. Also GPU 1 Hits 1254 boost and GPU 2 hit 1214 for anyone interested. Specs in sig.
 
Looks good! I like the black/red theme.

Is that the df85 case? How do you like it?

I just finished my water cooling setup and it definitely one of the most fun things I've done to my pc.
 
Just great bro. I got a similar case in terms of space. Don't you think its better to take out that corsair CPU WC, put 2 240 rads inside the case and expand your WC to your CPU. I think it will look alot better but not sure about temp results...
 
Thanks for reply guys!

@ Unreal Yea thats the DF-85 ever since i saw it i wanted it and found it really cheap on newegg while back and bought it. It looked like a really big case but once i put everything into it it looks small now LOL. But could not be happier.

@Afegan I orignally was thinking about it but was not sure how hard WCing would be so played it safe. Now I am wishing i hadnt cuz it not hard at all. I think when i installed the H100 a screw made pin hole size in rad so if it breaks or something ill def replace and add it to the loop!
 
I'm buying my WC stuff soon. I might put the reservoir at the back of the case (where is your rad). Btw does it worth have a pump/res? Or it's better to have both separeated?

Personal preference really. Some reservoirs are designed to improve the performance of the pump, but usually the differences are minimal.
 
looking good. shame about the corsair h100 tho, if you can find an excuse to dump it (replace with 240 rad) and add the CPU to the custom loop, probably perform a bit better. also you can trim a fair bit of tubing on the return from GPU to rear mount 360 rad. can't see it in the pic, do you have a dedicated fill & bleed line, saves time when flushing loop.
 
Looks great. How are you liking the primochill tubing? Some posts are going around with the plasticizing issue. Keep an eye on it just in case.

I have Primochill tubing, going strong for ~3 years now. No clouding to speak of, even when it sat stagnant with distilled for ~5 months (computer wasn't in use). Not too much noticeable clouding in the tubing itself.
 
Looks awesome. Reminds me of my first WC loop.

Enjoy your newfound low temps!
 
@Xviper
Tubing is good so far! I got the UV reactive red tubing and it looks pretty good. I'll keep my eye on it clouding up but nothing yet.

@Sun-Bean
Not sure what to tell ya. I believe everyone else has been able to see em so far.
 
Nice. I'm considering a single loop for my 680 SLI after my exams. Cooling the CPU will depends on H100.

Mine's clouded up a bit now. Going to change it once it starts getting really bad though. Primochill is supposed to be coming out with their plasticizer free stuff in November.
