As seen in thread title I built this custom loop just for Over Clocking, it was first planned to run on a car raidator but then coulding figure a way for fittings so switched to 3x 240MM radators
The name 240 3X11X is number count of radators + size and number count of the number on fans hooked onto the radator in total which is 11 fans
As seen in video this machine is soundless>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF_13IZ5MCI
I use this computer for entertianment and I was addicted to overclocking since i first stareted to oc when I was 13 years old (on a e5400 Intel 2 core)
Its on a fx4300, 5x hdd raid0 at 929MB/s max read speed and write speed tops out at 910mb/s max 64kb stripe size, 1tb hdd each limited to 2tb in total since windows dosen't install on a larger than 2tb hdd,
2x hd7850 radeon 2gb+ 28GB RAm warter chilled 2x 2400MHZ 8gb, 1x 1866 8gb, 1x 1600 4GB, water flow meter and water temp meter, coolant mixtrue about 2-5% anti freeze + 95-98% tap water, 2x brushless pumps and fans are externally powered with a seprate voltage controler for pumps, and a sperate for fans.
Pumps and fans run on lowest possible voltage settings, fans are 700RPM max and pumps are bascally soundless, making it feel like its not even powered on when you walk past cause its so silent excatllty like soundless only thing you can hear is hdd sound, and a little bit of vibrations because of hdd and fans

Yes 5.1GHZ it was only stable for about 15-30 mins on mem test full load cpu core and i was fed up with the stability so clocked it down to a stable 4.8GHZ on hours of occt stress
When build first started

Used the 3X11X cooling loop version and done some testing on applying heat sink grease
The dude in the back ground thats my dad and he was there to give me extra help. since i don't see it possible doing the loop by one dude after i had made this build
Finished build and waiting for a shipping of a old am3 cpu so i can boot up my 990fxa gd80 and update bios back to am3+ and swap the gigabyte for msi, and getting another 5x 12mm ball bearing fans and some fittings and another waterflow meter (dumping the resivior and hoking the pipes straight on to water flow meter and hoking the water temp meter back on) (The reason for dumping resivior that it provides no cooling property just holds water, and cooling down 10ML of water is much faster than cooling down 100ML of water same in the loop, if you have 1l of water in total taking of 200ML the resivior means that you only have 800ML of water meaning cooling down 20%faster on the other hand having more water takes longer for water to heat up and longer to cool down 800ML of 36C water and 1L 36C water cooling down you have 20% more hot substances in the 1L loop 20% longer cool down time)
and adding on another 240MM radator, not getting better water block even the one i am using now is really rubbish, wating for new am4 cpu to come out then getting new mother board cpu ram and hopefully sata4 hdd
This is the highest point in the loop and there is a hole there to screw open and get rid of air bubbles
As seen in description pumps and fans are externally powered so i don't blow up my motherboard fan out puts
