SOOOO...... It all started with a $700 build with a Phenom II X4 965 BE and a Zalman Z11plus HF1 case, and well it has evolved to a Corsair 800D $2000-3000 build. All custom work including some brackets from Triptcc. Its going to be a all red and black build.

***UPDATE Current PICS 99% DONE***
Finally Tackled those wires!!!! Ane added a few more lights lol. Now just waiting on a new ram set I got so I can reinstall my full RAM waterblock kit, then I will clean it all and do a photo shoot last

Im actually still using all the Corsair pumps, the H100i for the cpu, and the H70 and H50 for the HD6970's. Im adding red tubing and setting up them in a parallel. I don't have all the details worked out yet but I am going to use a flow meter to test the pumps independently in different setups to see how good they do. Also I have a great aftermarket pump that was designed for RV water systems but it has a good GPH rate and great PSI and head pressure, Its also self priming and can be ran dry with no damage. The real issue is figuring out how im going to set it all up, I may have the powerful pump on the three big RADs. I am open for any opinions. I should get the rest of the parts within two weeks or so(im stationed in South Korea). I wanted to do sum thing different and the project out grew the Zalman case I had so I ordered a Corsair 800D. I have been talking to Corsair threw letters trying to get Sponsored and get some free stuff and so far it sound good!

I got the Corsair cables for extera and I intend to wrap the Cougar psu cabels in PET. I dont have a Corsair PSU yet because im on a budget and I already invested alot of money in the 1000w Cougar PSU, but I do intend on replacing it with a 1200w Corsair (hopefully for free!). Overall though im happy as long as I have a all red and black build at the end..... I have a 16gb Red Vengance RAM kit(1866) but I also scored a great deal on 4gb(2000mhz) kit of those two black ones you see for like $10!, but will eventually get the the other half of the 32gb kit which I will probably still order the black ones bc they go along good with the rest.

Looks good, However it would be better if you posted pic in order. Unboxing, Start, Middle, End.
Its a mess to follow at the moment in my opinion.
Subbed however, This should be exciting

I agree completely, Im still waiting on some of the parts but as soon as I get everything together it will start making more sense because I will start posting my work in order. I intend to do some pump testing and benchmarks as well. I think the data I gather about the Corsair Pumps will be helpful for other people who intend on using them for custom applications.

So I tested the H70 for the LPH rate both with and without RAD and it was pretty poor, im surprised they do so well compared to other coolers, I find the pump week at a 0.714LPM with RAD and 0.769LPM with out RAD, not what I expected......... Another bad thing is I went to conduct the same test on the H100i, and after draining it of its stock fluid then re-priming it it was barely trickling even with just the pump so I think its defective....... So I decided to dissemble it to make sure it wasn't as no run dry pump and I wasn't, its just a simple propeller, but in the process I broke the small wires that connect to the PCB, but I checked the PCB voltage and it was barely putting out anything....... Oh well cant RMA it now so I removed the pump head to increase flow and now im using it as a water block. Im going to hook my corsair link kit to the 4 prong RGB LED of the PCB of it and use it with my other case lights so I can still control it with software. On the Bright side I did receive my new pump and its strong as hell so im thinking of spiting it off and running it to both cards and CPU. I guess we will see...... I will test my big pump when I get my tubing so I can run it threw all the RADs to see how good it handles it.....













AND THATS WHAT THE INSIDE OF A H100i Corsair pump looks like.........

So I decided while having this time on my hands that I would clean the H70, and im glad I did because it had some build up from the old coolant. I do see why the H100i is better though, the H100i fins on the block have a rubber jet that directs the incoming stream directly in the middle of the fins thus having a even cool of the die, but with the H70 it had nice big fins but its a directional flow so naturally one side of the die would be cooler than the other..... The H70 has a circular Fin magnetic floating pump just as the H100i but the big difference is the H100i is obviously a higher quality setup thus it runs smoother and quieter.....

I tested my 3 XSPC 360mm Radiators today with my high pressure pump, and my two EX360's did great with a 50PSI test but my RS360 RAD exploded lol. I was however able to solder the leaks and I painted and Baked it with some other parts after painting and will test it later for leaks once its dry. I am very satisfied with the results of my test though and will be using the pump, and if I do reuse the repaired RAD I will defiantly have it on the bottom of the case lol. I was able to score alot of great fittings and awesome screws for the rad, they look great!
