I was in the same boat but i had to try it out to see if its as simple as they say and being that it was my first time doing I took my time to plan it out and make sure i got all matching parts that are compatible. Took about one month to get everything together and about 4 days to do all the bends and test it out. Though what i would recommend is start with soft tubing as andyp297 but when you do switch to hard tubing save the soft tubing. reason i say this is i had one problem were i had to drain the loop 4 times because I had to get the CPU block replaced due to RGB not working and then the GPU RMA due to similar issue. If I had used soft tube to test everything then once I know its ok I can just drain it the one time and then put on the hard tubes. Hope this helps in future builds.
Thanks, only reason it looks so nice is barbecue i wasted sooooo many tubes to get it as perfect as i could to the point that some tubes i just didn't want to bend and just added 90 degree fittings to cheat my way through it. i might still buy one more tube to straighten the one that leads from GPU to water block.
I'm really loving the build! Just one question for you :) Does the card clear if it is mounted as normal? I am going for exactly the same card and case and I just wanted to know.
I am looking to do a build in this case. Any complaints with it? I am not going to be doing a water build. I have heard that this case doesn't get good air flow do you think it still be ok for me? nice build though. +1
From my experience on this case I have done only air cooled , AIO cooled and Water cooler, as for airflow I feel it get amazing air flow as long as you are no going full negative or positive. At max you can put 9 fans in the case, this is not including fans that would attach to an air cooled cpu coolers, but only problem i have with this case is the it is a bit narrow so a lot of the bulky GPUs or CPU cooler will not fit. I was unable to fit 1080 ti FTW3, 2080 ti FTW3, and the 2080ti Xtreme edition GPUs. All this GPUs need about only 1 inch to 1 1/2 more clearance and it would be perfect.
I'm curious of your thoughts on fitting that e-atx board in this case with that water distribution block. I'm about to run something similar and I'm sort of dreading how tight I think it might be.
