My new computer with DazMode parts :)

[chandotnet]

Recently I have bought everything from DazMode to update my computer with a custom watercooling. That was my first installation of a custom loop. I have view almost every videos from DazMode and everything was really easy after that.
New parts are :
- Daskside dual bay reservoir with a D5 pump
- EKWB CPU block
- EKWB GPU block
- Transparent tube blue UV reactive
- 2 LEDs bar
- 2 blue UV "neons"
- All sleeved wires blue UV

Here is the result:



Really happy ! so far the CPU, an AMD FX-9590 220W TDP, idle at 25c and the GPU, an EVGA GTX 980 SC idle at 32c !! this is incredible.. I have overclocked the GPU Core clock of +125mhz and the Mem clock of +550mhz all stable after few hours of .

Thanks again DazMode !

Nice temp

Welcome to the forums

[Bartacus]

Nice rig! What are the load temps like under gaming?

[DazMode]

Reservoir looks cool. Too bad I cannot get more of those.

[Hero1]

Nice build! Those temps are great especially for that CPU.

[chandotnet]

Thank you very much all !!

My temps are around 48c on the GPU and 62c on the CPU after 20 minutes max load

Here a better pic showing the reservoir.


I will want to add a nice backplate where I will add graphics on it. Do you have an hint on how I can achieve that without having to buy an EKWB backplate ?

Very nice.

Agreed that is a big TDP to add to a loop and your setup seems to be handling it nicely. I had an FX-9370 and a Swiftech H220-X was minimum at keeping the heat of that beast tamed!

you could go with a piece of acrylic.

[10e]

Acrylic, or painted metal backplate, like something painted white, plus there are vinyl sheets you can buy that are transparent and compatible with dye-based ink jet printers.

wouldn't you get heat buildup guys with an acrylic plate? Need something to transfer the heat no?

[tomdabomb]

My initial thought was that would be some very precise drilling with very visible mistakes (unless you have access to a cnc), but yea heat build-up might be an issue too.
If you're looking to save $, Acrylic + washers/harware you might be saving $10-15 imo ... the EK ones look pretty slick and seem to help cooling the vrm.

All that considered i'd still be interested to see a custom one made
