White Phantom

[MR.cool]

Alright ,well to start off here are some pics of the before !

[MR.cool]

Next I ripped it completely apart to start drilling hole, had to drill some holes for the pump to mount and also drilled holes for the back plate lights I install, as well as the holes to mount the rez. Also pic of all my goodies from Daz of course

[MR.cool]

Also had to cut the top part of my case for the xspc rad, just a little bit( since the xspc rad has the in/out holes on either end, didnt look into this my fault had to change my plans a bit) Next attached the block to the mobo, attached the top rad, put in the mobo, to start fitting in the 120 rad( when i change the fluid i may change the build around and move the 120 rad to the front of the build, also may change my tubing in the future to thicker tubing had some trouble with the tight bends in my case and my limited space ( HAD to cross that tube or order more parts and wait :*( Also here i show the pic of the holes i drilled for the back plate lights!

Looks great! Yeah.. you'll find that plans always change once you have the actual parts. Zip disk FTW!

[MR.cool]

Started to connect my tubing, and get it all put somewhat together( got a little lazy with the pictures, as i got a little frustrated with the tubing haha and getting it to not kink ! So i ended up needing a few more angled adapters ending up orders the purple braided mobo cables XD, as you see here the build is assembled and ready for filling, the friday I put the loop together after my remaining parts arrived I did my video card early in the morning before class forgot to take pics

This is after the second fill i think

Filled and leak testing

[MR.cool]

Here are the back lights while i was doing the leak test i had the psu jumped, used a power bar as my switch and just had the molex plugged in with the pump, fan controller and led's on it

finished cabling

Well, for some tips i would advise you not to do your gpu waterblock at 7 in the morning before class haha, after i had the comp running, ran a simple cinebench to see what the idle 35 degree would change too and BAM 2 seconds and its over 70 degrees! I cancel that immediately, As for this experience apparently i didnt put enough TIM on the gpu and had to drain half the loop take out the card, take it apart and re do the TIM on it ! After the reapplication of the TIM, and re installed the card filled the loop again and ran it! I booted up finally once more to run cinebench and to my amazement couldnt get it over 35 with cinebench XD, so next came CS: GO ( got my card hottest before on air ) cant get my card over 42 degrees , extremely happy ! SOOOOOOOOOOO quiet now too haha unbelievable how loud the reference coolers are on the 7970's
As for the Cpu, i need to learn a bit more before OC anymore im at 4.2 right now just a simple OC with the OC tuner for now till schools done and i can play around more. Final build pics ! and pics of the battle station !


Fit the ssd under the hard drives Velcro-ed it to the bottom

Nice to see complete worklog.

I wonder if White LEDs woudl be looking more interesting in Supremacy to show purple liquid inside.

[MR.cool]

Thanks fifty and Daz, ya i have to work on the lighting still. Need to get some connectors for my other led that arent in yet. Needed my comp back up for school ( cant stare at those excel sheets on 13 inch macbook )

Nice build, did not drag it out like the rest of us. Hey Bung that was a mock-up of a Bong water cooler !

[MR.cool]

LOL the real bong was right beside the energy drink, moved it for the pic : P, and i dont know how anyone could just leave a build in pieces haha ( I was determined to get it done before the weekend just didnt get the pics up till today ! )
