Recently I made a plan to put a water block on my CPU, i have had a Corsair 900D case for quite a while now and i was running my i7 - 6850K Corsair H115i AIO cooler in push and pull configuration. So i made the following changes , i was advised by people to go for soft tubing as it was my first time. Currently running my CPU at 4.4Ghz @ 1.355V while gaming max temps are 58C and on stress testing on real bench the maximum temps were 68C after running it for 2 hours.

I would like to give special thanks to @RKA007 for his advise regarding custom cooling .

Thanks, there were many hiccups which i overcame. Custom liquid cooling is not as easy as it seems . One has to do a lot of research.

Finally, on the high ride, exhibits the true enthusiasm of yours towards PC. It looks fantastic.
The above pictures are only in dark lights,. It would be great if you could upload pictures in idle lighting, too.

MashALLAH everything looks great. I hope it serve you for long run.

Awesome build. May I ask what is your room temp like? As 58C seems high for a custom loop setup without even gpu on water. Is that pump from swiftech a D5 pump or other? If it is not D5 then your priority should be a D5 pump on next upgrade list. Enjoy the beast.

58C temperature are when gaming and steaming at obs studio at 720p @ 30 Fps combined :) ... other wise temps are well below 54C while at 1.355V ...and yes the pump has a D5 spherical motor ...

These are really good temperatures, especially under such extensive work load. Could you tell room temperature?

i know man, people used to tease why i had such a huge chassis but no custom water cooling, only if i could make them understand then that i did not want cheap water cooling components, so i waited. thanks man :D

@JANARIOO

Thank you, i am glad you liked it, all my components have RGB so yes i have tried many lighting schemes. Here are the links some

My Rig - Album on Imgur
My Rig - Album on Imgur

You might see some slight change in components in both the links

@nafu

The room temp is 27C. The pictures with lighting are as follows but they are horrible , i guess i need a DSLR camera :(

[MENTION=127100]Superiority[/MENTION] this is a dilemma with chassis of this size. Even when I reviewed it, I had same feeling that without custom loop this chassis is too much for routine use. But, listen to your heart not to what others have to say. ;) You have built yourself a beautiful rig. Enjoy it. :)

Told ya man, you need a DSLR for quality presentation.
Mobile camera cannot give you good results in dark scenes and in light deficiencies.

Congrats mate! and props to you for custom water loop, the risks involved are far too great not to mention the crazy amount of time, money and effort it requires. Water loop leak is one of my greatest nightmare, I was thinking of doing custom water loop with my new build next year but guess i'll be sticking to some AIO.
