Update: Everything is working great!

whats left to do:

*small amount of cable management (dam CPU cooler has messy cables)
*get a longer PCI extender so I can plug the GPU to the top slot
*2 more fans below
*install dust filters on the intake fans
*get Plexiglas for the front
*build a custom panel for the power button, light switch and USB ports

Plenty of space for a temperature display and other components including a custom water loop

Have to figure out how to make a panel for these stuff

I somewhat finished the build but it looks like my CPU cooler has a bad pump

been troubleshooting for a couple hours....

anyone have a LGA1151 compatible cooler for sale?

need something temporary until I can RMA the Corsair Hydro

aio's are a set of nonsense lol a custom loop is only scary the first time you do it. you can do it pretty cheap with chinese pumps (they work just fine).

...until you spring your 1st leak.

I've been down that road.

AIOs please and thanks.

Open ports refer to channels that are open on your firewall to allow traffic through

For example standard RDP port is 3389.

To open ports you need to use port forwarding on your router which varies from router to router

You can open it when you playing and disable when you not. If you worried about security.

My firewall/router allows this

the IP address of your gateway is the IP address of your router....open ;command prompt; from your start menu and type: ipconfig

the address u seeing under your 'default gateway' is what u need to use...

I didn’t like the sagging tubes so I tried doing hard line and very pleased with the result

[iM@st@1]

Night and day difference bro very well done and them bends look perfect, you used a bending kit or you did it free hand?

2 on the bottom is freehand. From the CPU to GPU those were done with a kit.

Got the tubes before the kit that’s the only reason why

hello good day, have a pc issue, pc keeps restarting with no signal to screen, tried removing each ram 1 by 1 and switching on back to see if ram was an issue but seems not, any suggestions?

You can try:

• Reseating the CPU
• Changing the Power supply
• Adding an external video card

But most of the time that symptom is indicative of a failed Motherboard.

How did you determine RAM is not an issue. How old is the system/components in the system.

[slickrick777]

ok found the issue, was actually the 1.stick of the ram...

[fred1266]

Hi guys quick question
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004CRSM ... asin_title

Above Is my current ram,

Apparently one of the stick don't work so have to buy a new set do I have to use back a 1866 KHz, cause not sure where I can get one on short notice so think about an 1600mhz ( hopefully 2x8 GB)

But if I do that Can I still use the 4GB one that's working

most boards ain't too picky when it comes to mixing and matching memory just keep in mind they'll all run to the speed of the lowest module
