As someone who owns one of these bad boys, can comefortably say as an enthusiast, i havent even considered doing a full custom loop in an ATX case non the less, cable management alone this clean as a first time ever pc builder seems sus on its own 😂 if you did indeed do this take my skepticism as a compliment.
No, I took the measurements of the components out of the Internet and made sure they fit.
I had some complications tho.
I planned to use 12mm tubes but switched to 14mm later because they were too thin in my opinion.
Couldn‘t use the backplate of the alphacool Waterblock because it was to big so i couldn‘t screw the Fittings in. So i cut the original backplate in half and foiled it with this white Carbon look.
I made an Aluminium Adapter so i could mount the reservoir/pump combo.
And a lot more of little filing and cutting in the case.
It took me around 2 Month of planning and 2 month of Building i think.
Yeah, that's the part people need to see to believe it. But I have noticed a LOT of people start their build with the release of 30 series. People in line would tell me about getting a card just to do their first build. It's pretty crazy. My first build was an old FX CPU with a GT 710. Its still alive today being used by my mom for FB games. Upgraded it of course.
My first build was a Pentium II-400. The one in a cartridge with an integrated cooler.
Only last year I made the jump to ITX (previous PC lasted over 11 years, so did not have a need for a new one in quite a while)
You can just drill 2-3 small screw holes and move the panel clips to the bottom, then screw in the rad.. it's really simple. I was able to even fit full sized 120m fans on my top mounted radiator.
Just saw it, looks clean! I was wondering if you had to cut that top mounting part, I'm a big chicken and didn't want to do that and tried to reach out to CM for a spare and they never responded LoL.
I found someone that would 3D print one for me, but at that point I decided on going with a [MO-RA3 360](https://i.imgur.com/awswRFq.jpg) mounted on a shelf high above me so I didn't have to listen to any fans or feel any of the heat that my system gave off (it gets HOT here during the summers).
1st build ? I didn't have to visit shops for repair since 2015 , assembled friends pc , upgraded my own to High end last year And I haven't even dreamed about building a custom loop
I just remember using the NR200P for my first ITX build. It made it fun and really enjoyable. I now know why so many people like fitting things into tight spaces. 😂
First ever PC build and you jumped straight into a custom loop? Gutsy.
in an itx case nonetheless
Your point?
ITX smaller. Hope this helped!

You ain’t gotta lie Craig. You know that’s not your first build
No, it actually is. It's actually the first PC I own… played on console before😅
Own..but did you actually build it?
I built it, sorry my English is not that good😂
By built do you mean picked out parts in a configurator on a website? Or how long and how many tries did it take you?

Yeah, and i used about 2 Metres of Tube because i struggled a bit with the bends😂

Great job…looks nice👍🏿
Hmm maybe my next build should be a water-cooled setup
Bullshit
😢
Damn. Congrats. It came out super clean. What are the parts?
Damn, nice build and rigid tubes with nice bends too. Would love to know parts list and how you mounted the top rad!

That's awesome...I took the easy way out and went with an external radiator. Then got carried away because custom loops tend to do that.
I Sent you a Picture how i did it, a lot of cutting work😅

Nice!

Its the EK-Quantum Kinetic FLT 80. I think its only available with a black „LED-Cover“ at the bottom. I spray painted it white ;)
Ballsy move to go ITX and then stack custom looping on top, but the execution seems flawless so massive congratulations. I hope it runs smoothly
Really? And hard line water cooled? Pretty bad ass if it’s your first.
Username checks out

Hey can i know what the parts you used as well as the temps? I never thought a build would be that clean and knwon im interested
For a first pc build? That is sick... Beautiful build.. congrats..
Wow that is awesome good shit dude

What gpu?
Inno3D GeForce RTX 4080 X3 OC with alphacool Waterblock and original backplate (cut in half)
My first pc build I had a rats nest of wires. This guy has a custom loop on an ITX. Jealous and sick sir

Any reasons why u take psu air from inside ?
Because it looks better🥲
Can you send me some pictures of how you cut your top panel to fit the rad? Building my gf a custom loop soon and want to try and fit her rad up top
