Could you post a picture of your loop?

I'm thinking of setting up a loop over my CPU, GPU, and may as well put it through the motherboard too (MVF) at some point but I've never been fond of putting water in my electronics. Odd that.

Regardless, does anybody have first hand experience putting these together that would be willing to share experiences and rewards / regrets?

These loops are a little costly and I recommend only doing cpu at first as GPU waterblocks are costly, a bundle can cost 150-200$ USD, also ask yourself how good are you at.rig building, these are not hard to install but when you do a gfx card it gets tricky as you will have to take the cooler off the gfx card unless you buy a really expensive one. And the fittings can be tricky. There's a thread around here with a good vid you should watch,

Water cooling requires a few extra things if you want to over clock like most people do
A really good.motherboard
A good case
Extra drive bays as you will need 3 most of the time

Alright thanks. I'm going to look into how much the different parts cost. I figured it would be a chunk of change more than an AIO cooler.

I'm not worried about taking apart a GPU and or adding coolers to either, I'm more worried about leaks.

I know that my motherboard is more than capable (Maximus V Formula). Currently I have my 3770k running at 4.6GHz with a Kraken x60 cooling it.

I'm mostly interested in the experience of building it plus the overall look of the system. Also GPU boost 2 being based on temperatures might be further encouragement

You mentioned having free drive bays. I'm assuming you mean 5 1/4 drive bays for a res? I've seen a lot of cylindrical reservoirs such as You must login or register to view this content.. Thoughts on this type of res?

Your worrying about the wrong thing, if you get a kit with colored tubing and build just the CPU then your temps will go down and you can keep your current over clock with rock bottom temps, leaksare not bad if you have the correct fitting but they will come with the kit. GPU cooling is where it gets expensive. Also just get a drive bay all in one there easier, your talking about %100 custom which gets difficult and I have and no one here has experience in.

Alright thanks for the advice. I'm going to look into it a little more and put it on the list of things to do after a new downhill bike.
Do you have water cooling in your rig? (pics? xD)

No but if given a basic CPU only 240mm rad setup I could easily. The dual loop with a GPU is something I'm not big on as I wouldn't be big on taking apart a graphics card as they are costly.
