Hi guys , this is my 1st worklog as well as my first water-cooling build rig. This will also be a long-term project , will update from time to time.
In the first place , never thought of going into water-cooling rig as i thought i'll just use it for dota 2. But as time passes , seeing so much beautiful water-cooling rig, at last i can't resist . Still get myself into the water-cooling world.

This build will not be featuring top-notch items. It will be featuring some basic items.

Awaiting component :
GTX 670 with wb.
New radiator
Modded side panel

Main component of my rigs.

Allow me to post some photo of my rig before going into CM690 II Advanced.

Xigmatek Asgard 382.

Eww, look ugly aren't? D:

After some cable management and NuclearTEC Blue CCFL. Looks better now


After a few months, i realise that i'm poison by water-cooling and forced to change casing , due to the casing is too small. Can't fit even fit my radiator doh.gif

Here come's the beauty .

Here's come the water-cooling component.

XSPC x20 750 EX240. It's just a entry level kit. I regretted why i didn't buy d5 kit doh.gif but this will not kill me. Will upgrade when i have budget icon_idea.gif

Assemble my water-cooling and running leak test.

First attempt fail. Forget to put the XSPC Acrylic bracket in. Drained the whole loop and cut the tubing a little shorter cause can't take off tubing from barbs, only choice cut the tubing.

Second attempt , get everything done . Leak test all going good wanna assemble my motherboard back and found out that i can't fit the water-block on my motherboard for don't know what reason, can only tighten 3 screws doh.gif

Final attempt drained the loop and gone rage , cut all the tubing and mount the water-block on motherboard before fixing tubing . Takes me 30minutes to fit the block on don't know why i can't tighten it all up , end up using spa-nar to tighten it. It's all set and run the leak test once again.

Really an experience , first time assembling water-cooling, aren't as easy as i though , but now i guess one attempt can get the system started tongue.gif

Specially thanks to Pristine for guiding me along the way. Really appreciate your help bro. biggrin.gif

This time everything goes just well. Running leak test the 3rd time.

Tadaaa the completed rig.

That's all for now

Maybe when I got mood la. Sometimes making a worklog without morale support from forumers kinda disappointing.

Okay, yeah true. Like mine. Feel bad cry.gif . Just want to share thought, if you know that your thread has people following you will feel motivated and boost to your project. If theres less people viewing we will feel useless as no one is looking over our work . So kinda sad yeah
