Nice, simple, understated. The way I like a rig to be.

Looks neat. I like the look.

Nice looking build. I have a very similar air cooled build. Hats off to you guys doing water in desktop builds. I never could bring myself to do a water build so a big arse NH-D15 with Phanteks fans it is for me.

I will never understand why the pc community think its a clever idea to blow air through a radiator INTO the case from the front only to be re used a second time when its extracted by a second radiator fan. Just stupid. So people can have their windows to see their LED lights where a huge fan should be located.

I don't disagree that blowing the hot air from the radiator into the case is a bit counterproductive, but, you could still have a front-mounted radiator and just simply reverse the airflow (in other words, have the hot air blow out of the front of the case). That way, you keep the aesthetic appeal while keeping the PC properly cooled.

Hi,i have a Corsair Air 540 and have tried my Corsair H110i gt front mounted(intake) and top mounted(out) and it made no difference to cpu or gpu (Evga 1080ftw) temps whilst gaming.

Really nice build but is that bubbles I see in the reservoir? Might need to bleed the system a bit, bubbles are not good for your loop.

While of course you are right, it more looks like the res does at times condensate some of the vapor (top water drops), and the bottom is slight traces of dust inside the res (and air "sticks" to it there). The tubing itself looks full and not bubbles there, I guess the rig's builder is fine.

Nice looking rig! Like the thick smoothly flowing tubes. But damn, you gotta overclock if you've gone to all that trouble - as long as it still stays silent!
