Ideas

Few things that have inspired me with this build, So I thought ill post them here,





I love the acrylic style tubing in this build





I love the colour scheme in this build.

Most of the items have been ordered but will take a few weeks or so to get the case shipped to the UK, so that is the biggest hold up at the moment. But as the items arrive and I start building of the rig, Ill keep the thread updated with progress and any items added.

Rough idea

With such a large case, my goal is



The loop will start with an EK-RES X3 400 Reservoir in the motherboard tray, connected to the bottom chamber of the case, to the EK-Dual DDC pump then leading to the 480 Rad and 360 rad, leading to the GPUs then to the Mono Block feeding to the top chamber of the case, connected to a Pump Tank Reservoir combo - that should allow for easy access in filling the loop – that is leading to the 2x 480 Rads at the top chamber, that is then feeding the EK-RES X3 400 Reservoir, and repeat. I will also add a T Line with a shut off Valve to the bottom chamber for draining the loop as well.



This will be my first time using Acrylic tubing too, so I'm excited to see how that turns out.



Feel free to add any suggestions and ideas!
