I'm getting super excited! I have finally decided to build my own custom water cooled machine. This has been something I've been wanting to do for a very long time and I have finally ordered a large portion of the parts. I'll include the list below. All is ordered minus RAM CPU and Video Card.
Computer Hardware
Case: Corsair Obsidian 750D Airflow Edition
Power Supply: Corsair HX850i 80+ Platinum
Motherboard: Asus X99-A II (Preordered)
CPU: Intel 6800k or 6850k (Will order upon release, depending on availability and prices)
Ram: G.Skill Trident Z 32 GB (2x16GB) 3200 MHZ (will order soon)
Video Card: Nvidia Geforce 1080 (Looking to order an EVGA or Asus model, will order water block when I order it)
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO (from current build)
HDD: Wester Digital 5 TB (from current Build)
Water Cooling, Bits and Pieces
EK Supremacy EVO X99 Nickel
EK CoolStream PE 240mm
EK CoolStream PE 360mm
EK XRES 140 Revo D5 PWM
5x Noctua NF-F12 iPPC 2000 PWM (decided on higher speed and can lower it later through curves)
2x Swiftech 8 way PWM splitter
20x PrimoChill Rigid Revolver Compression Fitting 3/8" x 1/2" Straight Knurled Nickel Plate Brass in Silver
PrimoChill 1/2 Rigid PETG Tubing clear 12 x 36"
Bitspower Silver "T" Fitting
Bitspower Silver Dual G1/4 Adjustable Aqua Link Pipe
Bitspower Mini-Valve Silver with Silver Handle
EK High Flow Barb Fitting 10mm Nickel
Tygon E-1000 3/8" ID (1/2" OD) Tubing (drain tube)
Mayhems X1 Clear Concentrate 250ml
I plan on doing a Res/PUMP >>> GPU >>> CPU >>> 360Rad >>> 240Rad >>> T with drain on bottom >>> back to Res/Pump loop. The GPU will be added in later if I can't get one when the CPU is ordered.
There of course are a few of the more expensive parts, such as the video card, to wait on and order when they are available. However, I will get started with the case and radiators by getting a general layout. I ordered plenty of tube since I will eventually be including the GPU in the loop, but I will be waiting until the right one comes out. While I wait for one, I'll be using my current Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming in it's place. I also need to find the tools to get the tubing bent.
Let me know if anyone see's anything I have missed. This is a dream I have had for a while and I now have the means to build it!
Edit: Ordered 2 Swiftech 8 way PWM splitters and added them to the list.
