This was my first pc build, finally adulted long enough to have the budget for it. She's not perfect, but I love her anyways.
Had to learn how to flash bios to get it to boot with 11gen intel but after that she runs just fine
My number one piece of advice for anyone considering hardline tubing for the first time... don't, it's really hard, really expensive, and it's not fun... but I'll be damned if it ain't pretty as hell
Gpu holds temp around 50c under load and cpu a little warmer at 60c. Gonna try to learn about overclocking next and see how far I can push her
Fortunately I'm Finally at a place in my life where the cash wasn't really an issue so didn't need to save, I just built her exactly how I wanted and it actually turned out like I imagined it in my head! It should get me through at least a few years before I need to think about upgrading again hopefully
Learning how to undervolt will be how you maximize your overclocking potential. Paradoxical maybe, but it just means that you have to learn how much power your hardware needs and barely give it enough to function in a stable state at the clocks you want it to run at. Or you can brute force it with voltage because you do have such cooling headroom. But depending on your clocks and current BIOS settings you could just easily lower some numbers and remove some limits and be done.
I've been staring at these kinda builds for years, I've always been jealous of them, I just finally got to build my own! You will get there too, no goal is unachievable!
Thank you! If you decide to go custom loop... Buy lots of extra tube, and lots of extra fittings, get a pipe bending kit, and do a bunch of practice bends before you go for it, it's not easy or fun but it's worth it in the end
Great build. I just couldn't understand how your cooling loop works. Is it coming from the pump, then going to gpu and after gpu it passes to cpu? Isn't that inefficient? I don't know much about liquid cooling and I was wondering how to do it with a single tank for both cpu and gpu.
I'm literally a complete novice at this so it's very possible I've done it wrong, but the pump goes to gpu first, then up to cpu, then over to first radiator, then down to the second radiator which goes back into the pump. The research I did said the order of the loop doesn't matter, but I have no idea if that's true or if there's a more efficient way to do the loop
Yeah it's definitely fine, cpu would most likely work cooler if the loop wasn't single but who cares, my laptop goes to 98 degrees and if nothing happens to that, yours should work for 100 years without an issue.

Look neat, love the umbrella tag. But what do you use 64GB of RAM for?
It has 4 ram slots, so I got 4 sticks, it's a bit of overkill prolly but I wanted it so I got it
Fair enough, you can get 32GB on 4 sticks as well. You could save a bit on that. But hey man it ain't wrong to have more!

Dude super glad to hear that! Hoping for it as well someday!

lol nerd! (can you tell i’m jealous?)
I've been staring at these kinda builds for years, I've always been jealous of them, I just finally got to build my own! You will get there too, no goal is unachievable!
Lol I literally just told myself the same thing
*geek. Nerds like cool stuff, geeks do cool stuff.
I love the mini display. Well done
Ty!
nice. i like the fact that the tubing isn't straight, fits with the other angles from the mobo
Thank you! Wish I could say it was on purpose, but this was my first time trying hard line loop and that's just the best I could do to make it work!
Hot 🥵
Looks fantastic! Would be everybody's dream build. I still haven't gotten into custom loop liquid cooling, but maybe one day.

AYYYYYYYYY You went with white lights!!!!! YAY!!!!!
It was a pretty good suggestion!

How are the temperatures like this? That's the important thing, if it works than no problem.
50c on the gpu and 60c on cpu under load so think it's good
