Ended up filling the loop fully last night to avoid the noise being generated when water is splashed in the loop, still a lot of stuff needs to be done so the final loop isn't ready yet but at this moment it's fully functional. Temperature and all aren't real at the moment such as sitting around 20c under minor load of multi-tasking as I only have 3x Noctua Industrial Fans setup in pulling the air out at slow speed, not even full and the RGB LED Fans for push at the bottom aren't even installed yet as I might run into clearance issue in 900D considering my rad is so thick but like I said .. still work in progress but here's something I recorded for someone else so figured would share it here as well.

Nice, what color scheme you gonna use? and btw isnt coolant a better choice over water? It prevents from rusting.

This is lab made pure distilled water so not worried about rust and it has a kill coil in the reservoir which kills algae, this water is being used temporarily until I finally decide on the dye. Like I said, it's a project in progress and I will most likely go with red and black theme once Maximus VIII Formula is here along with custom sleeved cables of similar theme.

I wanted to go with distilled water for initial tests to see how I like my loop with tubing and what not before adding in the dye and finalizing the build thus you see distilled water in the loop at the moment, final product will be entirely different.

Haha, thanks! It's coming slower than I expected and want but .. it's coming along fairly nice. Surely taking my time and enjoying the excitement it builds up as I plan the loop and what not, I might end up modifying 900D as well or start a totally new case from scratch designed by myself. Let's see how it all goes!

so u got the mobo back ...

Yeah bro, I left a comment on your Mauler thread telling you I got it on Saturday evening. It's the same old one with SATA port issue, will use this until new one arrives in coming weeks.
Hope you're feeling better now, last we spoke you were heading to hospital.

OC like hell when it is done.

Not interested in Extreme, bro. Been waiting for Formula and it should be here in a month or so InshaAllah.

Thanks for bringing it up to my attention though [emoji4]

Will update you here when I put the pictures up. CaseLabs is nice, but their chassis aren't as subtle as 900D. While it looks like a tower casing to some, it's elegant in sorts which I prefer.

That sounds amazing, looking forward for you to review it

They're not my cookie, sadly. Plus it's for my PK build and I wasn't looking to import chassis otherwise my choice would've been InWin most likely.

InWin is a class and so is Lian-Li. Point is Except Lian-Li and InWin, Case Labs and Parvum both ship to Pakistan. Telling this Just in case if anyone is interested in their cases and holding on just due to the reason that they are not available and not shipping to Pakistan.

That's good to know but customs will rip you a new hole when you're trying to deal with them, it's hell to deal with them thus I use services from the likes of Amaga to save my time from all the hassle.

Nonetheless, good to know that they do ship here if I ever change my mind [emoji108]

Congrats bro.....Decision is your's but in my opinion why you didn't go for a Titan-x instead of 980ti sli because I think that all games wont support sli...Correct me if I am wrong......

All modern games support SLI, sometimes drivers don't go well but fix is always there right away. NVIDIA launches SLI fixes before the game even launches so no issues there.

Titan X alone wouldn't be as powerful for gaming as 2x 980 Ti

And correction, another one is 970 in pictures as stated in the post not another 980 Ti. I'm running a single 980 Ti for 4K with G-Sync 4K Monitor for over a year now (monitor, that is for over a year).

Next, I'm awaiting new cards coming from NVIDIA soon and will be getting my hands on those as soon as they arrive. Initial ones won't be HBM2 sadly if recent rumors are to be true but they'll still have a significant increase in performance which is happily welcome in 4K gaming where each FPS counts.

Hope it clears the confusion.
