Mutation666's Watercooled Build Logs

Decided to change the bottom and remove the rez as it wouldn’t have done much and I can fill and bleed the loop pretty easily with the quick disconnect.

Just ordered a GTX 1070ti, only really game at 1440p for now and my panel is only 60hz (LG 43 4k run as 2 3840x1080 panels)

Did a leak test this morning before bed, have 1 spot i need to check the fittings on, but should be a quick fix. A few more parts should be arriving and the build should maybe be up this weekend, depends on school work.

Need to bleed the loop more and this loop design is a pita for filling and bleeding but so be it

Suffer for performance, I say!

I had to rotate my whole S340 case with the pump going to get all the air pockets out of the 280mm rad, so boy do I understand this pain.

The worst part is now I’m bound to do it again in future builds :joy:

Oh and if you could get a secondary light source and stop using the flash it’d be a lot prettier IMO.

Eh it’s just quick and dirty progress pictures I’ll take better ones when complete

Still need to take some more pictures, Got the OC on the cpu to 3.9, need to still drop the volts to lowest possible but still pretty low on the power.

OC on the 1070ti is @ 1.9, but need to tweak this more as well, just did a quick OC

CPU max temp under prime95 load is like 60c and fans only ramping to 950ish RPM when running at the load.

Will be upgrading to x399m and 1950x in the near future was going to get 2nd gen TR but $600 was to good of a deal for 1950x

Currently working with EK on an part they said would fit the X399m when it first came out that actually doesn’t. So far while the process is time consuming (back and forth) they seem to be taking care of me.

So wont be able to water cool the VRM unless I try to do a custom block thing. Still working on that part of the project.

Rez is still up in the air, I want to have one but will probably try my hand at making one or try and sucker a co-worker with a lazer to cut me some.

You could definatly drop the price a bit from where my build is, but some parts are older and I put the price I paid when I got them and some parts were upgraded from older builds so the cost to mod to how I wanted it was a bit more expensive then just buying it already the way it would be.

New build is coming together waiting on parts tho
Case: Lian Li PC-010 WX
Mobo: Asrock x570 Taichi
CPU: R9 3900x
Ram: G.SKILL Trident Z Neo 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3600 - F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC
PSU: SilverStone SFX 700W 80+Plat
GPU: Radeon VII
Storage:Samsung 970 Pro 512GB // Samsung 960 Evo 1TB

Not 100% on which storage will come over from 1950x build and what will stay. As well as what all of my WC parts will be used and if I will need to order new ones to maximize cooling (MIght want to get a 280mm instead of using two of the 240s I already have) Case eneded up being used due to it being backordered pretty sure its discontinued tho so Ordered that off Ebay last night ened up saving like $80 over waiting for new

So made some decisions on storage gonna move both over minus optane (gonna leave that for wife or move to server) And get her a 970 evo 500gb for boot/os
