<span style="font-size:24px;"><b>Hey guys</b></span><br><br>

Noddy here, in for my like 3. or 4. project build, but this is the first one i will make a worklog on. So im new at this log-thing, but i hope you will all bear with me about both my text setup, and my grammar.<br><br>

Okay lets get started!!!<br><br><b><span style="font-size:16px;">Who am i:</span></b><br>

Nickname: Noddy<br>

Name: Mathias Laursen<br>

Age: 21<br>

Country: Denmark<br>

Work/study; i'm study electronic and IT at Aalborg University. I'm at the 5. semester right now<br><br><b><span style="font-size:16px;">What have i made before:</span></b><br>

Before i made this build, i have made some different mods and builds, that i have only posted on Reddit /r/BuildaPC.<br><br>

I'll just list them fast:

<ul class="bbcode_list"><li><a class="bbcode_url" href="http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1wq0tp/build_complete_made_a_computer_for_my_girlfriend/" target="_blank">Computer i made for my Girlfriend when she became student</a></li>

<li><a class="bbcode_url" href="http://imgur.com/a/CaGKU" target="_blank">Custom watercooled Cosmos 2</a></li>

<li><a class="bbcode_url" href="http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1ab6f9/build_complete_watercolled_orange_phantom_4000_rig/" target="_blank">My friends Rig that we built together</a></li>

</ul><br>

Okay, that was a little introduction to what i have made, and who i am.<br><br><b>Now for this Blue lightning build project,</b> i'm gonna make some acryllic hardtubed watercooling. Also i'll have my case fully repainted, so that every color fits together, and the colors i'll make this rig in is: Blue White Black.<br><br>

The project is supported by:<br><br><a class="bbcode_url" href="http://www.coolerkit.com" target="_blank">www.Coolerkit.com</a><br><a class="bbcode_url" href="http://www.coolerkit.com" target="_blank"></a><a class="H-lightbox-open" href="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2137006/"><img alt="" class="lightbox-enabled" data-id="2137006" data-type="61" src="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2137006/width/500/height/1000/flags/LL" style="; width: 241px; height: 90px"></a><br><br><br><a class="bbcode_url" href="http://www.webdanes.dk" target="_blank">www.Webdanes.dk</a><br><a class="bbcode_url" href="http://www.webdanes.dk" target="_blank"></a><a class="H-lightbox-open" href="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2133379/"><img alt="" class="lightbox-enabled" data-id="2133379" data-type="61" src="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2133379/width/500/height/1000/flags/LL" style="; width: 303px; height: 78px"></a><br><br><br>

Okay so to make the rig look nice, i have made some drawings and 3D models, to make sure that everything should more or less fit in the way i want it to. Pictures later.<br><br>

So now, the hardware thats is gonna be inside the rig:<br><ul class="bbcode_list"><li>CPU: Intelcore I5 2500K 3,3GHz (turbo 3,7) Max clock i got, is 4,7 GHz @ 1,41V and 48 degrees</li>

<li>Motherboard: MSI MPower Z77 socket 1155</li>

<li>PSU: Corsair TX 850</li>

<li>RAM: 4 x 4 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz CL9 Dominator (from old build)</li>

<li>GPU: MSI GTX 780 Lightning 3GB</li>

<li>SSD: Corsair force series 3</li>

<li>HHD:

<ol class="bbcode_list"><li>HDD: 1TB seagate barracuda 7200 rpm 64mb cache</li>

<li>HHD: 1TB seagate barracuda 7200 rpm 64mb cache</li>

<li>HHD: 1TB Western digital green</li>

</ol></li>

<li>Case: NZXT Phantom original</li>

<li>Case fans:

<ol class="bbcode_list"><li>2 X Enermax T.B. Vegas Trio 120mm</li>

</ol></li>

<li>Optical Drive: Sony Optiarc Blu-Ray Writer, BD-5300S</li>

<li>LED Controller: Onboard Phantom NZXT original fancontroller</li>

</ul><br>

And a picture of all the watercooling parts included:<br><br><a class="H-lightbox-open" href="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123251/"><img alt="" class="lightbox-enabled" data-id="2123251" data-type="61" src="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123251/width/500/height/1000/flags/LL" style="; width: 500px; height: 664px"></a><br><br>

So this is basically what the rig will be made of, also there will of course be some LED's, custom made acryllic and metal parts.<br><br><b>The 3D drawings</b> i have made is seen here: so this is without the optimal colors, also it's not the correct Motherboard, watercooling block and Graphiccard.<br>

Also i haven't made the tubing/fittings around the Reservoir/pump part, because im not quite sure how it's gonna be yet.<br><br><a class="H-lightbox-open" href="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123256/"><img alt="" class="lightbox-enabled" data-id="2123256" data-type="61" src="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123256/width/500/height/1000/flags/LL" style="; width: 500px; height: 407px"></a><a class="H-lightbox-open" href="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123257/"><img alt="" class="lightbox-enabled" data-id="2123257" data-type="61" src="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123257/width/500/height/1000/flags/LL" style="; width: 500px; height: 425px"></a><br><a class="H-lightbox-open" href="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123261/"><img alt="" class="lightbox-enabled" data-id="2123261" data-type="61" src="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123261/width/500/height/1000/flags/LL" style="; width: 500px; height: 430px"></a><a class="H-lightbox-open" href="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123262/"><img alt="" class="lightbox-enabled" data-id="2123262" data-type="61" src="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123262/width/500/height/1000/flags/LL" style="; width: 500px; height: 364px"></a><br><br>

Underneath the metal foreclosure is gonna be a 240 mm XSPC EX240 in black.<br><br><a class="H-lightbox-open" href="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123264/"><img alt="" class="lightbox-enabled" data-id="2123264" data-type="61" src="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123264/width/500/height/1000/flags/LL" style="; width: 500px; height: 176px"></a><a class="H-lightbox-open" href="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123265/"><img alt="" class="lightbox-enabled" data-id="2123265" data-type="61" src="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123265/width/500/height/1000/flags/LL" style="; width: 500px; height: 176px"></a><br><br>

I'm gonna use 5 Fans in the top, so that i doesn't have to cut in the fancontroller and power panel to make a 25mm height fan fit.<br><br><a class="H-lightbox-open" href="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123268/"><img alt="" class="lightbox-enabled" data-id="2123268" data-type="61" src="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123268/width/500/height/1000/flags/LL" style="; width: 500px; height: 189px"></a><br><br>

Pump is gonna be mounted on top of metal foreclosure to make sure it is underneath the reservoirs all the time, to make water continuous dropping into it, so i wont burn it.<br><br><a class="H-lightbox-open" href="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123278/"><img alt="" class="lightbox-enabled" data-id="2123278" data-type="61" src="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123278/width/500/height/1000/flags/LL" style="; width: 500px; height: 320px"></a><br><br>

Some more pictures of the area aroudn the reservoirs and pumps<br><br><a class="H-lightbox-open" href="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123308/"><img alt="" class="lightbox-enabled" data-id="2123308" data-type="61" src="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123308/width/500/height/1000/flags/LL" style="; width: 500px; height: 330px"></a><a class="H-lightbox-open" href="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123310/"><img alt="" class="lightbox-enabled" data-id="2123310" data-type="61" src="http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2123310/width/500/height/1000/flags/LL" style="; width: 500px; height: 528px"></a><br><br><br><br>

I have most of the hardware already, and the watercooling is also ordered in the next few days so that i hopefully can get started before my vacation ends, but also i won't try to rush through it, because i want it to end out as nice as possible.<br><br>

My only consern is whether or not the two reservoirs can fit in there. Besides that i haven't found a nice spot to mount my SSD yet. but maybe it's gonna be on side of the 5,25" HDD bays.<br><br>

This is all gonna take some cutting, polishing etc. to work out nicely. Fortunately for me is im having a friend who is a smith and one who works with carpainting, and both have told me, that they would like to help with the parts i can't do myself.<br><br>

Hopefully this is going to be a very nice build <img alt="biggrin.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.overclock.net/images/smilies/biggrin.gif"> and i'm really looking forward to make this build.<br><br>

The buildlog will feature painting, metal cutting, maybe some acryllic cutting, hardtube-routing custom mounting for 360 and 240 mm rads, dual reservoir installation into one build, and a lot more.<br><br>

Also if you have any questions about my other builds feel free to ask or PM me.<br><br><br><span style="font-size:24px;"><b>I hope you guys will enjoy the development of the project</b></span>
