My watercooled rig

[Tilitoon]

So I had to change the water in my rig, and I took this opportunity to make sore improvements here and there. I am pretty pleased with the result, the only thing is my new reservoir makes the bleeding process a pain, so there is still air trapped in the loop, hopefully this will be solved in the next 48 hours. At least my temps are still good even if the system is not optimal yet, the hottest core of the CPU is @ 52C, and the GPU is @ 37C while playing DIII, so this is good imo.

Very nice and clean build!

I might make a thread here sometime in the future when I have the funds to seriously consider upgrading some parts and adding watercooling to it. =D

Very nice. Where did you get the expertise to build such a system?

Thank you.
Well I've been building computers for at least 10 years, and I always wanted to do water cooling so I started reading different forums that had water cooling topics and so I have learned the basic stuff that way. It took me about 2-3 months to plan my build, I was researching every possible information I could find about every piece of hardware I would think about putting in my system.

It takes a lot of planning, time, patience and it is also frustrating when it's not going as well as you want to, but it's also very rewarding when you can finally show what you've accomplished. I would still consider myself very n00b into the water cooling world but I intend to keep improving my rigs and my methodology. The online community is very helpful, fortunately. I guess that's because people who are into that know how challenging it is to build their first water cooled rig.

I've also watched countless videos explaining the different things one need to know about water cooling. One of my favorite resource is Daz from DazMode.com. He also has a Youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/dazmode). It is a blessing for me to have found a great water cooling store and a helpful guy here in Canada, otherwise it would have been a pain to order everything from the states or Europe.

Once I get everything working properly I'll let you know and I'll post a video. Let me know if there are specific things you are interested to see.

Thanks for the information. I also have some interest in water cooling. A few years ago, the prices scared me off. I'll give it another attempt very soon. There are no specific things I'd like to see, thanks! Have fun with D3!
