Hello, My name is Shane and this is not my first computer build. However, this will be the first time i will be modding a case. My previous builds were just buying basic pieces and putting it all together. Have never done water cooling before either. I will be doing water cooling in this PC. Have not decided If i want just a contained unit for just the CPU or full system. I will be building off of the Cosmos 2 Case.
There was a build on here earlier based off of the Cosmos 2. A sick orange one i cannot remember the builder but will be using his work log as a guild for mine. I welcome ideas you guys/gals may have. This build will be stretched over a few months as my work schedule is very hectic right now and can only spend a few hours a week on it for now.
Thank you for taking a look
Edit: feel like I need to put down the components I will be using. As they have changed a bit already, I expect them to change again in the future.
Main components
Case - Cooler Master Cosmos 2
- mods to case include but not limited to, window cut into side, HD bay removal, powder coated frame, air brushed exterior.
Motherboard - Asrock x99 extreme 6
CPU - Intel 5820k (still undecided, if funding allows will go 5960x)
Ram - g.skill ripsaw 32 GB
PSU - EVGA supernova p2 1200 watt
Hard drives - 2 Samsung 850 EVO 1TB drives and a Samsung 256GB m.2 card for the OS
GPU - 2 EVGA 980ti with water blocks
Have not looked too far into water cooling yet, but will post what I do know.
Water Cooling
Radiators - 360 and 2 240's xspc ex model with outer part painted white.
Reservoirs - 2 custom made from skeeper
Pumps - 2 swift tech 655 pumps with custom top. (Can't decide between white or blue pump case)
Fluids - mayhem uv clear with blue dye
Fittings - bits power fittings
Water blocks for CPU and GPU - unknown
Here are a couple shots of the outside of the case.
