Hi all,
So for the past year i've been debating whether or not to go down the proper water cooling route, only reason i didn't want to was in case i messed it up and flooded my pc as i have never done this before.
Yesterday I got looking again on the net for parts and thought what the hell and ordered my parts, they arrived today :)
Image
Got home around 7.30pm and decided to started stripping my case and having a fiddle with where im going to mount everything etc, 3 hours later and the result is
Image
obviously the radiator isnt screwed in yet and the cpu block isnt on the cpu yet as i have to run a leak test for about 12 hours (will have to be around 8 hours as i cant wait that long, and out of the 8 hours im a sleep for 7 haha).
Next came the part where i had to fill the reservoir with the fluid, that's when it becomes difficult because i had already gone over all the connections to make sure they were all on and clamped like 10 times and i still wasn't satisfied it was done properly. Finally got the balls to fill it. (Front of the case is off btw)
Image
Only one step left now and that was to switch it on, took me longer than when i had to fill the reservoir.... but i finally did and so far no leaks :D
Image
This is how my pc is currently sitting and will do till the morning now, hope you all enjoyed the read lol :)

A pointless update as no one seems to be interested LOL.
Did my leak test over night for around 11 hours and no leaks :) so i fitted the radiator into place and then attached the cpu block to the cpu.
Only thing im waiting for now is my UV LED's and UV tube lights.
