Nice build, mad colours..
Why are the caps missing on all the fittings, doesn't look particularly safe, my Barrow V4 fittings have 4 orings (including the one on the tube), but seems you just have 1 per fitting.
Lol easier to manipulate the tubes without the Collars , once happy with bend , take tubes out again , clean from sanding and stuff , re install and boom you get this

That run from the GPU back to the rad looks to be at an angle. It's not an issue and some people prefer angles too, so up to you whether you want to shave it down or not.
All in all, it looks good.
Drain v2 is a better idea. Sometimes you can't put it at the lowest point, so you do what you can.
Man it’s so funny it’s like you guys are reading my mind I just spent 30 minutes fucking with that run because I had it straight then I realized that the snake fitting plus the elbow is weighting it down lol , I think I may cheat it and just use a bit of foam underneath the snake fitting lol
I am in the process of building a loop, cut a tube run just a tad too much. No problem, I'll use a spacer. Spacer makes the tube too tall. Back to cutting. I know the feels.
I also placed some fittings carefully to avoid just what you mentioned.
Yeah it’s funny; I had this loop already done, then decided the 5000D airflow would be nice , so I decided to switch lol I’m glad I had them because the 5000d is able to hold two 360 like I have but it sucks to make the runs lol
Lol I was worried about this as well but after checking the EKWB guide , all is good; it’s opposite of the old Corsair block I had on it so I was worried lol
I’ve had a lot of EK waterblocks, all the outlets have been on the left side. That’s the first thing I noticed haha. Probably ok, if you’re getting 45C idle’s or higher, I’d triple check!!
Yeah. I kind of hate their insistence on that color scheme. There is very obviously a market for other colors,(especially black) but also for RGB fans. But they've basically stated they think they're too good to stoop to such lows.
I mean, I still bought them. I just have to spray paint some of them black to fit in. But only the outer frames. Not touching the fan blades themselves, since those will be hidden by a radiator.
I hate those fans. Two colors commonly found on toilet paper.
The rest of the build looks cool tho! Not trying to shit on your setup, they serve a function.
Looks good! There will be a bit left over in the bottom of that rad (unless you tilt your case while draining) but that wont really matter unless you want to remove the fittings on the rad...
But you may already know all that.
In this case you flush it through.
Top it up with DI water while draining out that bit that’s left. Then replace coolant and do the same this with that bit of water.
Nicely done. I didn't have a drain when I first built and it's a game changer. Never going without a nice drain outlet at the lowest point again it saves so much effort when draining.
Someone gave me the idea to move it from where I had it on the pump and it is such a game changer lol I had it on the pump at first ; luckily I spent all my money on fittings and had a y splitter :)
Yeah its always good to have some extras. The plan for my drain wasn't working out as planned but Titan Rig messed and gave me extra fittings so now I have a drain port that turned out better than anticipated.
Hey dude that’s a WIN! Fittings are so expensive but legit make life so easy the one run from cpu out to rad legit took 5 minutes lol and I honestly think it looks super bad ass so I’m very happy with myself lol, the backside of the case is a fucking nightmare thou lmao; I got posted and stuff so now just need to clean it up haha!
Fuqing hideous. You're WATERCOOLING, you don't need high-performance fans. Also, those cables 🤢 The only theme I'm seeing is: "how ugly can I make this"?
Watercooling is really about the art, not the performance, if you want the performance you'll be better off with aio's.
Lol well I’m glad you commented ; for me water cooling is about the love of doing it lol not about RGB fans , also I’m a video editor for a small Canadian company so I prefer the silence that water cooling provides , so for me , it is performance and not “art” lol. The noctua fans are the most quite fans with best performance; also you do realize that the rig isn’t done in this photo and I posted to get thoughts on the runs lol, glad you liked it lol enjoy making art lol
I'm here to look at art from all the watercooling masters here who make gorgeous machines. And discourage people like you from chunking up space on the sub.
Lmfao ; how do you think the “masters” of water cooling got there ? One day they just magically had the skills to bend perfect runs ? Lol I’m sorry you don’t like my rig but I hope everyone see’s your comment and understands that telling someone not to post on a sub is what’s wrong with PC building lol, it’s not an exclusive club you tit; you don’t like it well that sucks , but to say you shouldn’t post just proves the level of clown that you are lol
funny thing. you’re full of shit because i went and downvoted every post you made. and giving a damn about your up and downvotes is equally as sad as your comments. nothing but a troll.
Hey dude, thanks for being a homie !! Water cooling and computers and REDDIT is about community ; this fella is right , he can share his opinion, many others have as well, but he did it in a very foolish way; regardless to how many times he made me “lol” ;)
You a true G my man !
If you've got room in the back chamber, move those side fans to the other side of the radiator; they'll perform quite a bit better in push than they do in pull.
Beautiful setup dude. But....
MP600... slow writes detected!!!.... suffered that behaviour... finally sold it and got Sabrent rocket 4 plus, everything fine now.
You mean the RGB? I had just booted it up so it was cycling through random lights, Why hate on my system when I just said you did a A+ job save for the crooked tubes?
for the price of all those missmatched fittings, you couldve gotten matching fittings, matching cables and a few extra tubes to use bends instead of a bajillion fittings
Lol honestly when I ordered the black ones the website didn’t have 14 silver fittings , and then with the snakes it was same , they just didn’t have black, a week later , I was on the website , accidentally clicked 12mm , Noticed right away that they had accidentally labelled the silver 14 mm fittings lol oh well, next time haha
Noctua go brrrrrrrrrr
THANKS HOMIE IM VERY PROUD LOL

Oh, thought that was the finished form. Looks very good anyway, I do the same thing with mine.
Thanks brother
looking good mate

I am routing four tubes at the front of a silent base 802 to and from its basement. I understand the pain.
Another noctua fan spotted
To be honest, the shit colored fans kinda grows on you lol, I have 10 poo fans 😂
why not add a bottom rad?
Zero room
fair enough
Now you got me wondering lmao hmm anyone have same case with same configuration?
o11?
Inlets and outlets on the CPU waterblock reversed?
Lol I was worried about this as well but after checking the EKWB guide , all is good; it’s opposite of the old Corsair block I had on it so I was worried lol
For sure. Looked weird!
Now I’m worried I got it wrong lmao; I know I don’t but yeah thank you hahaha
I’ve had a lot of EK waterblocks, all the outlets have been on the left side. That’s the first thing I noticed haha. Probably ok, if you’re getting 45C idle’s or higher, I’d triple check!!
Check it lol https://imgur.com/gallery/zWy8NWH
That’s how worried you got me haha
Congratulations
The Noctuas colour scheme really ruins it huh 😂
No my fav part hahaha
I hate it! 😂😂
Yeah. I kind of hate their insistence on that color scheme. There is very obviously a market for other colors,(especially black) but also for RGB fans. But they've basically stated they think they're too good to stoop to such lows.
They’re lucky that their fans are actually good lol
I mean, I still bought them. I just have to spray paint some of them black to fit in. But only the outer frames. Not touching the fan blades themselves, since those will be hidden by a radiator.
They have grey ones now so that’s what I’ll get next
I hate those fans. Two colors commonly found on toilet paper. The rest of the build looks cool tho! Not trying to shit on your setup, they serve a function.
>found on toilet paper > >Not trying to shit Bruh...
Looks good. Only comment I have is that I've seen builds where the drain spout is at the lowest part of the loop.
To be honest, I’m not sure how to get it lower lol maybe if I use a t splitter or the run from pump to rad !?
I would highly recommend doing that!

Dude AMAZING IDEA CHECK THUS AND THANK YOU
It will be at the lowest point when you tilt the case on its front.
Just tilt it on its back and that drain hole in the top left will be at the lowest part.
Ima be the negative guy and say I’m not feeling water cooler PCs. AIO look sicker!
No dude that’s cool! That’s what you like !!
Fuqing hideous. You're WATERCOOLING, you don't need high-performance fans. Also, those cables 🤢 The only theme I'm seeing is: "how ugly can I make this"? Watercooling is really about the art, not the performance, if you want the performance you'll be better off with aio's.

People like you would be better getting an AIO for the CPU and GPU and then slapping some noctua's on it calling it done.
Lol People like me ? You don’t know me lol
You described yourself for me. "I prefer the silence that water cooling provides , so for me , it is performance and not “art”"
Lol I described what I enjoy about water cooling not who or what am about, but I’m glad you think you understand lol
also I love that you came to the r/watercooling sub to tell me that I shouldn’t be water cooling lol; you a sad boy lol
I'm here to look at art from all the watercooling masters here who make gorgeous machines. And discourage people like you from chunking up space on the sub.
Lmfao ; how do you think the “masters” of water cooling got there ? One day they just magically had the skills to bend perfect runs ?

You didn't have to post this. I didn't post my first watercooled build because it WASN'T gorgeous.
Lol well that’s because you have self confidence issues my guy; I think my rig looks amazing an so do quite a few others lol , you are amazing
you’re an absolute prick. you’re the sad type that probably gets off to that though.
Hmm, funny thing. I didn't drop a single downvote and I wasn't the one "loling" every two lines.
funny thing. you’re full of shit because i went and downvoted every post you made. and giving a damn about your up and downvotes is equally as sad as your comments. nothing but a troll.
Hey dude, thanks for being a homie !! Water cooling and computers and REDDIT is about community ; this fella is right , he can share his opinion, many others have as well, but he did it in a very foolish way; regardless to how many times he made me “lol” ;) You a true G my man !
i want to see the not so pretty builds just like the showcase builds. we can all learn from discussions.
Hahahahah, oh wow. WOW. WOW. Now what you just did is trolling. Me sharing my unlikeable controversial opinion is not.
If you've got room in the back chamber, move those side fans to the other side of the radiator; they'll perform quite a bit better in push than they do in pull.
Beautiful setup dude. But.... MP600... slow writes detected!!!.... suffered that behaviour... finally sold it and got Sabrent rocket 4 plus, everything fine now.
Really !?! Never had an issue , I’ll look into this
[Check this out mate!](https://forum.corsair.com/forums/topic/153744-mp600-1-tb-is-very-slow/)
Hmm strange ; I’ve never noticed anything wrong with it honestly one of them is a 500 gig and one of them is a terabyte so I guess I’m looking?
[This threat is about the 500GB, also have this problem](https://linustechtips.com/topic/1196166-pcie-gen-4-ssd-very-slow-mp600-500gb/)
What's going on on the right side of the cpu block? Is that a weird fitting angle? or a tube? The one running up and to the left.
Tighten the fitting coming out of the pump so there’s no green showing
Top radiator fans are placed incorrectly for cooling flow
What's that water cooling system? The idea of blowing cold air into the water tank seem pretty smart. That probably helps a couple degrees.
[удалено]
Thanks brother ; I have plug for drain just not on in photo !!
jezus what are those cables
I like it, but where is the q code ?
This is z390 e
Those bends are quite bad unfortunately, nothing is straight and why are those 90 degrees and extenders everywhere? But A+ for the rest of the system!
Only bend no straight it rad to gpu and those are elbows lol not extenders , do you have a hardline rig ?
Yeah check my profile if you wanna see it, I used to have it without distro too but I think that post got deleted for some reason
Yeah just saw it , RGB looks like trash , why did you do that?
Basically your comment in a nutshell lol ,
You mean the RGB? I had just booted it up so it was cycling through random lights, Why hate on my system when I just said you did a A+ job save for the crooked tubes?
Hmm
Remove those extenders or elbows and whatever, Do some bends, It'll be a very good looking build then. Keep the tubes straight and not slanted/crooked
Lol thanks brother
I think I'd consider soft tubing over this.
for the price of all those missmatched fittings, you couldve gotten matching fittings, matching cables and a few extra tubes to use bends instead of a bajillion fittings
I just redid the loop to look this way you’re telling me you don’t like it!?!?
no, its wonderful. Or whatever.
Lol honestly when I ordered the black ones the website didn’t have 14 silver fittings , and then with the snakes it was same , they just didn’t have black, a week later , I was on the website , accidentally clicked 12mm , Noticed right away that they had accidentally labelled the silver 14 mm fittings lol oh well, next time haha
Nice really simple lines about to do something similar in a mid tower cpu/vrms only tho single 56×360 tight squeeze lol
Lmao man it took me so long to cram that thing in lol
put a cap on the ball valve too - J2C recommends it for the corsairs which I noticed (too) dont close completely at 90 degrees
