Not my first build, not even my first loop in this case, but a build of firsts:



First custom cables.

First time using acrylic tubing.

First time using 16mm OD tubing (tough to get some tight 90's).

First time ordering barrow pieces from China (Aliexpress). Pro-tip: watch out for Chinese new year unless you like waiting an extra month.



Overall I'm really happy with the build. The whole thing kicked off when I saw the Radikult reservoir sitting at a $200 buyout instead of the normal $500 bids on ebay. Snagged it and then had to do a re-do. Picked up one of those nifty Raspberry Pi 3.5 LCD screens too so hopefully I can get that working and showing the temps inside the case.



Temps:

Idle : CPU 26C, GPU 24C

Load: CPU OC @ 4.8 ghz for now - 60C, GPU 40C (Still Testing)
