    New watercooling setup + a few other goodies (FINISHED)

    still have some assembling to go but ive almost got everything in order with my build

    Thumb resize.

    Thumb resize.

    picked up the 970 for $175 :D

    added a second 360 radiator, my new mountainmods case, 2 128GB C300s replaced my 32GB X25-E's

    on either side of the case i choose half windows so you will not see anything below the horizontal brace and i will hide all the wires down there. Clear acrylic sheet for the top

    Finished pics at the bottom

    soon you'l find out it is only the benchmarks requiring extreme cooling... the rest just costs money.

    tbh, its nice having something you built yourself from custom bits and it not only looks good, but it'll still be running as good as it did on the first day you built it.

    I remember the days of running with fans on my cpu and gpu, I had to clean the dust and crap out every month, at least with water cooling I didn't have to clean it out but for once a year!
    And that was just cleaning the dust from the rad and fans, I never flushed the loop out for 2 years.

    Considering this is my third watercooling setup I disagree but of course you are entitled to your own opinion....

    And watercooling is hardly extreme lol

    Viper, your system looks phenomenal! Love the MM case and the cooling gear!
    Im not sure if this applies to your SSD's, but take a look just in case.

    Looks absolutely amazing!

    I have a fairly decent 360 rad WC setup but it's fugly. It's hugely effective but it'll win no prizes for looks. I never have the patience to do proper cable management or trick it out with LEDs and such.

    Kudos to those of you who can turn your systems into works of art.
