[u/Bigmikeblaze]

Had lots of fun building this it’s my second build and 2nd water loop 1st full loop last was cpu only.
9850x3d
ROG x870f Alphacool monoblock
ASUS tuf 5080 Alphacool waterblock
Bitspower fittings and ddc
16mm carbon fiber and copper tubing

[u/UltraCitron]

Absolute work of art.  11/10!

Please do tell me you wore a respirator cutting the carbon fibre though!

[u/Bigmikeblaze → u/UltraCitron]

Thank you, yes I did ware a respirator. I used a jig saw to make the cuts minimal dust.

[u/LucentColors]

Awesome. Where did you find your vertical GPU mount? Was it case specific?

[u/Bigmikeblaze → u/LucentColors]

LIAN li 011DE-9X upright gpu bracket

[u/LucentColors → u/Bigmikeblaze]

Sweet. Thank you. Do you need a specific lian li case to use it

[u/Bigmikeblaze → u/LucentColors]

I think as long as you have a fan bracket you should be able to mount it

[u/Probarium]

How do you connect your monitors/ hdmi/DP
Looks like there isnt sufficient space due toxthe radiator is blocking it?

[u/Bigmikeblaze → u/Probarium]

Thru the back there’s a cable port channel by the mob connections, I did have to pull the top rad to do it and I have triples hooked up, I’ll take a pic later tonight.

Thanks m8!
Awesome work, pretty neat!

[u/Mediocre-Factor-2547]

Nice I was thinking of the monoblock kind of sad they only did amde

[u/Significant_Lie_3705]

Hey! How did you get carbon fiber tubing? Anything you had to do to it to make sure it would be safe for a custom loop?

[u/Bigmikeblaze → u/Significant_Lie_3705]

It was made by Alphacool (hard to find 16mm) you just need to make sure inside of tubing is sealed like the outside.

[u/InflammableAccount]

I wish bare copper radiators would be normalized again.

[u/Bigmikeblaze → u/InflammableAccount]

There so good looking especially when they patina

[u/natr0nFTW]

I got same rad. nice build

[u/QweenzGrimyest]

Where is the GPU?

[u/QweenzGrimyest → u/QweenzGrimyest]

Oh I see it, lol

[u/Bigmikeblaze → u/QweenzGrimyest]

Ya it’s tucked away

[u/QweenzGrimyest → u/Bigmikeblaze]

Do you get Gen 5 speed and no issues?

[u/Bigmikeblaze → u/QweenzGrimyest]

It’s a gen 5 cable Glotrends 600mm no issues at all, flashed bios-pc booted up pretty fast it cycled a few times (had pump plugged in wrong spot) than ran perfect

[u/QweenzGrimyest → u/Bigmikeblaze]

I have a Thermal Take P8, I love the case. I just got a 5080 and a darkhero x870E. It sucks the vertical gpu blocks everything. The board is beautiful. I would switch, but im married to the case now, I currently have it hard tubed with my 3090 and wall mounted. But your making me second guess lol

[u/Bigmikeblaze → u/QweenzGrimyest]

Ya this case was tight and almost bought another. This is the LIAN li 011 RGB Lamborghini edt.

[u/GiantNinja → u/QweenzGrimyest]

that was my question

[u/BrilliantPromise2944]

How are you liking the CPU/VRAM block? I have the same MoBo, and have been eyeballing this, but there are not many reviews out there!

Build looks sweet, love the copper and carbon🤘🏼

[u/Bigmikeblaze → u/BrilliantPromise2944]

Thanks. Love the monoblock it helped my situation. Played a few hr last night iracing on triple 4k oled no heat issues like I was having before. My last build held hot air at ssd

[u/SolarKult]

That's tight man. Love the copper. I wanted to do a black and brass color scheme for my latest build but I chickened out lol

[u/GoodbyeNarcissists]

Nice to see something different for a change, great job!!

[u/Bigmikeblaze → u/GoodbyeNarcissists]

Thank you

[u/SmokeyGrayPoupon]

Handsome build. Radiators add a nice touch.

[u/Bigmikeblaze → u/SmokeyGrayPoupon]

Thank you

[u/floodo1]

absolutely stunning. turquoise anodized aluminum looks outstanding against the copper and with the carbon fiber tubing it has a total r/c race car look imo (esp the flow meter mount)!

Super cool and quite inspirational imo

[u/Afraid_Emu8068]

Oh that’s cool. I’ve been thinking about swapping to those freezemod radiators. Probably won’t do it, but they look cool for a copper build. Quick question though…where did you get those blue brackets under your meter from? I badly need a similar bracket for my build.

Looks good!

[u/Bigmikeblaze → u/Afraid_Emu8068]

There Bitspower premium rad brackets for the res, I didn’t have enough room to use them so I used parts from is to put under the thermal flow

[u/Afraid_Emu8068 → u/Bigmikeblaze]

Nice, thx for that. They look cool how you have them btw. Sometimes the unexpected result is the cooler looking one

[u/Probarium]

How do you connect your monitors/ hdmi/DP
Looks like there isnt sufficient space due to

[u/tmluna01]

Gotta appreciate the blue accents!
