Dracarys V2 (Don't know what else to call it )

Hey guys, it's been a while. New personal project otw. You can check out my last worklog here=>Project: Dracarys
i'll be upgrading my rig to skylake, along with some other parts, so i'll have to re do the watercooling loop, always wanted to try petg tube bending, so here goes nothing

Since my last update from my previous worklog, i've upgraded my graphics card from a 6990 to a R9 290X, and a few other things. Here's what it looks like:





yes, the graphics card is soggy will definitely do something about that since i wont be upgrading it, don't feel the need to upgrade it yet since i rarely play games nowadays.


Here's the list of parts i'll be using:
- Intel Core i7 6700K
- Asus Maximus VIII Formula
- Corsair Vengeance LED 32GB(4x8GB) - Red
- Asus R9 290X Direct CU II
- Seasonic x-750
- Kingston UV400 480GB
- Seagate 2.5" 1TB SSHD
- Corsair Obsidion 750D

Watercooling Parts (Mostly reused parts):
- XSPC Raystorm
- EK-FC R9 290x DCII nickel acetal
- XSPC RX240 + XSPC E360 Radiators (Paired with Coolermaster jetflo red led fans)
- Koolance DDC pump res combo + swiftech MCP355 + 200mm Koolance reservoir
- new* Bitspower Enhanced Multi-Link Fittings 14mm OD + PETG tube 14mm OD


I've already started on the project, will post updates soon! Thanks

#Update 1
- disassemble current rig, and drain the loop
- install new components


That GPU sag is real, lookslike it can snap any minute


love this motherboard even though it is a bit overkill for me, but bought it mainly because of how it looks


testing new components at stock, with stock cooler

#Update 2
- started working on petg tube
- found a solution for the gpu sag
- loop done, now leak testing


Solves the gpu sag problem, had some acrylic tube leftovers and some extender fittings


loop done, leak testing, will be using mayhems pastel red later on

#Update 3
- leak testing done, drained the loop and added mayhems pastel red
- painted the gpu support acrylic thingy
- added rgb led strip to the motherboard rgb header




not the most perfect solution, but it'll do




rgb led, controllable via asus aura software, going for black+orange theme


next update:
- will work on a new psu cover, that covers at least from the psu to the pump/res, and with cable holes
- going to remove some scratches on the side panel window

#UPDATE 4
- Changed cpu waterblock to EK supremacy evo
- Changed reservoir setup, now => bitspower 250 integrated kit with pump top + EK ddc heatsink + Ek uni pump bracket
- re-did some of the tubing
- new psu cover delayed



Pictures took with flash on, without flash you can barely see the cpu waterblock, need some white leds on it
watercooling loop done! temps are quite okay, idle at 28c, max when gaming 58c max, all at stock speeds no overclock, just left everything on auto, boost clock at 4.2Ghz max





Next Update:
- cable combs for better cable management
- white leds for the cpu waterblock and reservoir
- hopefully new psu cover, already contacted mod n go designs to help make it for me
