Hello all,
Bit of background for this build:
An older PC running a i7-7700k and EVGA 1080FTW with EKWB blocks. I posted here a couple years back with my first attempt at watercooling but never updated the post with the final product. The picture with the black PC Case is the old build. I regret not taking better pictures of it. Over the last two years, the loop was frustratingly difficult to work with (I attribute to mostly the horizontal placement of the reservoir) and eventually led to the need for major repairs. With nothing but time on my hands due to the current circumstances I decided to fix the loop and teach myself how to bend hard tubing for the day I do buy completely new parts.
The sort-of new build:
Same major parts with the following changes: 12mm fittings, Darkside reservoir pump combo, NZXT H510 Elite case, 1TB western digital black m.2.
Thoughts and inspirations for the build:
I love winter and I love the look of the white H510 elite so decided to go with a monochromatic theme for color choices. Meaning solid white EK fluid, and all lighting set to white.
The case is small so I had to make a few modifications to the case the accommodate the pump/res placement. Tubing run placement mainly driven by trying not to clutter the space too much.
The white PC case picture is the updated build as of today and after leak testing I hope to post the final picture tomorrow.
