love the build. super clean, and the black theme is awesome. you should try purchasing some backplates for ur video cards to give them a cleaner look and tie them in nicer with the black theme of ur rig
@digitaltactics well if u like to see an ugly ass pcb and a bunch of solder points then be my guest and dont install backplates. but i actually have taste in building computers and i love a clean interior and gpu backplates do just that. also like you, i like to see what i paid for, and paying $500+ for graphics cards means i shouldnt have to be staring a pcb that doesnt even match anything else in the entire rig, except maybe the back of the mobo.
Can anyone comment, I couldn't find gpu block for my twin 560 ti direct cu2 from Asus. Is it since its a low-end card so no one make cooling blocks ?
Tried couple of website like xspc , performance pc , danger den etc, if any body have experience in fluting 560 ti direct cu 2 can comment, thanks in advance
Could u plas tell me whether your video card is Asus branded 560 to direct 2 , since I have 2 cards running in SLI. I could get video card in any website, since I'm from india, it cost quite a bit to import ( 100% duties). I want to be quite sure , Could u pls tell be were u for those cooling block for 560's . Also confused between swiftest and koolance, both cost almost the same and don't know which one to buy.
@lavinhthuy same with my cooling system, until i took the water-blocks apart, my coolant was gelling up inside them. are you just running distilled water? no additives?
i have a question sorry if i sound like a moron but i dont know a lot about the water cooling... im getting primoflex pro when you take off the toobs to put new ones on the water the water doesnt go all over the place does it because that would suck. lol and is the removal of tubes and whatnot difficult?
if i were you, i would use some anti-vibration grommets underneath the pumps to avoid this vibration noise in the beginning. But still very clean and good build :)
Looks good? I'm also wondering how much improvement you notice from pumps, honest question. Also, I want those waterblocks, what are they called? did you need an adadpter for the block or....I want to do the same but just for my gpus
under the PC parts you put HDD: ____ SSD lol, its not a Hard disk drive if its a solid state drive. Sexy case though, I'm looking into getting me a nice fan controller like yours.
Cool le pc jaimerais bien etre capable de monter le watercooling mais on ma jamais apris, sinon tu dois forcément parler francais kan j'ai lu home depot lol.
@soda480 wow.... so close to yours. I don't know what size screws are. I used the "same size" screws came with the package, but I got the screws longer from Home Depot.
why 2 pumps? I'm pretty sure those pumps are good for 20ft you would probably see a gain in LPM if the pumps were opposite sides of the loop from each other.
@MrGrandDragon All the fans are 3pin. No fans connect to motherboard, 7 fans connect to the fan controller (3 fans on the radiator was soldier in parallel). The GTX560 uses 6-pin and 6-pin power cable.
@desipilla Thanks. CPU overclocked at 4.4GHz.. Overclocking was done easily in BIOS setting, just set the "Multiplier" to specific number you want. In this case, I set to 44.
how much did that the whole water cool setup cost you and where did you buy them from ?

Quick question.
How many fans do you have connect direct to the Mother Board?
And how many fans do you have connected to the fan controller?
I am going to use two AP-15's in my rig and connect them to a 2 ch fan controller. Are the fans 3pin?
Also does the GTX 560 connect with a 8pin and 6pin PCI-E power?
thnx
