Hey folks, LONGGGGGGGG time no post. I just referred someone to an article on the main page and it had me thinking, "I should post in the forum, just because."
So after a long break from running custom water I recently built a new custom loop. Far more advanced than any of my old configurations that is for sure. So here is my current workstation setup I put together: -Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.8Ghz for now -Gigabyte AX370-Gaming-K5 mobo -g.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB PC2800 -Nvidia GTX 980 (Used off Ebay cause screw pricing right now.) -WD Black M.2SSD for scratch disk -Samsung EVO 850 256GB SSD boot drive -WD 1TB backup HDD -Thermaltake Tower 900 Case Cooling: -Dual Loops (GPU / CPU) -Alphacool 250mm Eisbacher VP755 Pump/Res combos -EK Water Blocks Mono block for CPU and Mobo VRM -Bitspower full coverage block on GTX 980 -EK Water Blocks SE360 thing 360mm radiators -6x Cougar Gaming Vortex 120mm fans on Rads This is a big step up from my old days of running a Danner mag pump, vinyl tubing, and a car heater core. However it made me nostalgic. I need to dig up old photos of my stuff, maybe I will see if anything hides in the corners of this forum. Photos: ![]() ![]() And a video on YouTube while putting it together: Ryzen 5 Watercooled Workstation Up until this build I'd be running Air coolers or AIO coolers for a long time. It felt good (if not rather expensive) to get back into building a full custom loop. Hope all is well, if anyone even sees this!

Looks like an awesome build, thermaltake has had some giant cases over the years, I have one nearly 3ft tall. I like the symmetry of the reservoirs too.
Everyone is on about rigid tubing right now, I keep complaining about the inability for easy maintenance/parts swapping, glad I'm not alone ![]() Good job on the cat tax there Zelda! |

Thank you. I like the look of hard line tubing but this is a workstation. I've already replacwd the motherboard and CPU on it once. So flexible tubing has been absolutely ideal for me.
