Jefferz hard line water cooled PC build thread.

[jefferz]

I figured I'd start a different thread rather than flood the other threads. This is my first liquid build so it'll be a learning experience. I'll try to post pictures of everything I do. I'm open to ideas, criticism, questions, etc.

Here's my parts list and I'll update it as I go. I'll try to list every part and what went where.

[jefferz]

I put my reservoirs together tonight

Parts breakdown:
left reservoir
Bitspower Z-multi 250mm reservoir white
Bitspower Premium Male G1/4" Matt Black Aqua-Pipe I Fitting - the black piece inside the tube which is supposed to help keep everything mixed.

Right reservoir - parts from top to bottom
Bitspower Z-CAP II With G1/4" x3 white - allows 3 ports on top. One port will be the inlet, one will be permanently plugged, and the other will be for filling the reservoir.
Bitspower Premium Male G1/4" Matt Black Aqua-Pipe I Fitting - see above
Bitspower D5 Single/Dual Top Upgrade Kit 250mm white - the piece and round reservoir that bolts on top of the Mod pump top .
Bitspower D5 Mod Pump Top "S" white - square piece that the mod kit screws to
Bitspower D5 Mod Kit white - the very bottom round pieces that holds the pump inside
Swiftech MCP655-B D5 pump - can't be seen

If you want to throw the $550 my way to add another card, go right ahead

If I was going to dump that much more into the build, I'd go with a Case Labs case over another card.

What resolution monitor are you thinking?

This your idea of "intelligent discussion with PC people" you were telling me about?

Calling a pc sexual as fuck - you're definitely the stereotype when people think of lonely gamer nerds.

I game on a 4k tv.

Sexy looking is the top of the list. The lower temps are a bonus for me.

Curved monitor?

I'm in 2 minds about these, but the last ones I saw looked pretty nice.

Nah, just a Samsung KU7000 55". I looked at curved versions at a store and the only difference I noticed was a better view when you looked from the sides. I already have a second tv that I use for media so viewing from the sides doesn't matter.

Spoiler

It's an old 65" rear projection mitsubishi but still does 1080. I have to replace the bulbs once a year but I paid $20 for the last one so it's not much to keep the old girl going.

Two video cards it like double penetration porn. Not everyone is into that.

weird, why not go with a 4k monitor not a tv. Monitor tech is usually more advanced

If it would not have go me banned I so would have responded with a couple links from Blacked.com.

so 2 cards= 2x the size.

4k monitors only go up to 40". There may be some enterprise stuff out there, I haven't looked, but odds are the price would be too high.

@Strychnyne , he's got one of those Sexual 32in predator ones, he was able to acquire it for under 800$.

I sit 8 feet away from my screen. A 32" would be way to small.
