[Project] L3pipe

I want some of those. I have Dominator Platinums in my main rig.
 
This is my favorite of all the builds I have seen from you. The design is incredible.
 
Thanks! I didn't hear that much yet :)
(taste differs)
 
Awesome!
Where would you get GPU's in the Benelux?
The new 980ti is like 850€ where I normally buy my PC-stuff.
 
Summer vacation!
And like every year .. modding! :)

I've been looking for a proper solution to support the GPU's and Rads for a few weeks.
Then I found this in a dusty corner at work.
Nickel plated copper rails which are used for 12V halogen lamps.




First had to brainstorm and draw a few hours about the loop and some other things




And finally .. think I got it :)




Made bends in the Rad supports.




Sturdy stuff.




And making mounts for it.




The radiators are being pushed to the inside by itself because of how I mounted them.
These supports will make the whole more sturdy.




And starting on the loop.




Lovely working with PETG, pipecutter and deburrer :)




Here a little video about the Henco deburrer.
18 months ago I saw an air-conditioning guy working with PVC/Alu/PVC pipe.
I thought .. that should work with acrylic too, finally found the 12mm version a few months ago.

And making 3 bends to save some extenders and rotaries.






Bottom done according to my drawings :)




Fitting the GPU supports.




Now to drill some holes in the backplates.




And make the holes in PCB's a little bigger :O




From M3 to M4.




Done!




Next update more on the loop!

 
This thing is amazing so far.

I'm starting to build my first WC setup and looking to play with the lighting (just got an Enthoo Primo), does the Corsair RBG LED setup that you used have variable controls? I was debating setting up the lights to cycle through the spectrum of colors if it's possible.
 
Thanks guys!
Haven't tested the Corsair Link yet :/
 
This year 2 weeks on a nice camping place where my parents also are.
I thought .. if I really want to relax .. why not take my hobby with me? :)




Because the week started with bad weather (off course) I was able to leave the pc in my parents caravan.




Great spot when it's raining outside ;)




A day of shopping.




Also finally some time to sort some things.




And 4 days later finally some good weather! The one in the middle is my little spot :)




This is relaxing! :D






Waste after 3 days of working with the loop.




And further on the backside.






Had to take a few shots in the sun :)








Decided to go home 2 days earlier so I could finish it with no people around me.




Creating cable to feed the pumps and Corsair Link






The last cables.




Drilling and tapping the last hole.




Finally filling!






Loop 1 .. no leaks!




Quite some foam with 2 pumps @ fullspeed.




Decided to use anti cyclone fittings in the reservoirs.




Loop 2 also leakfree!




I should fill it up soon ... because this .. just looks weird :D




Even first boot went well!




Soon final pics :)

 
I was wondering where this build went. Fine work sir!

There are a lot of great builders on this forum, but between you and B Negative, I'm always left feeling like I lack vision when I see your finished products.
 
Thanks guys!
I seriously can't wait to post final pics :D
 
I will say it again - This is my favorite of all your work I've seen so far. Damn impressive.
 
imagine trying to swap the cpu, mobo or video card for that matter.
What a pain in the butt
 
Meanwhile I just use fans for air cooling..... in a regular cube case......with some paint and LED's

I don think anyone does this because it is easy, inexpensive or makes any sense at all. It must be a serious passion and the result is very cool. I can not imagine the number of hours that must have gone into this.
 
Over the years there have been a ton of people's custom builds like that that blow me away, but yours is the one I would steal if it was in my reach.

Great job man.

i owned a vaporchill machine back in 2004-2007
and it destroyed every watercooling rig out there. But yeah i can understand where you are coming from
 
WoW! - This is by far one of my favorite builds ever! Absolutely awesome job on this! Thank you for all of the pictures.
