Mini ITX Water cooled

[Smaug]

Here's my latest build. I call it the Minimus for obvious reasons, It packs a huge punch in very small case. Specs below, tell me what you think.

Silverstone SG06BB-LITE
ASUS Maximus VI Impact
Intel i7 4770k
2x 4GB (8GB) Corsair Dominator GT 1866MHz
ASUS GTX 760 (unfortunately the 760 water blocks will not fit this card... see notes at the bottom)
Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD
Athena Power Apollo 600W

Water Cooling:
Alphacool DT-LT Pump/top/rez combo
Alphacool 120mm Radiator (30mm thick)
Bitspower AIZ87M6IITX Nickel/Red water block
Monsoon Fittings (the orange looking adapters are bitspower #disapointed)










*I had to RMA a waterblock for the video card because ASUS moved come components on this video card. If you want to water cool your video card look to another card as this one does not have a water block available for it!

Like they say: Good things come in small packages. 😉

Congrats on the build!

Thanks for the reply Chino, I've done some wire cleanup. Also, I didn't like the Phobia Black (purple) coolant so I replaced it with clear distilled water. Here's some more pics on the build...

Here are the components..

I am still building this wood case (I call Pagoda). Unfortunately the water block I purchased for the video card will not fit ASUS' GTX 760 so I'm stuck with the air cooling which won't fit this case. 😞



Water cooling components... this was a 92mm rad. It's since been replaced with a 120.

Very nice build! I can't seem to find the Airflow installed in the motherboard. Does it fit?

[Smaug]

Thanks for the comment. The fans for the memory? No, they definitely wouldn't fit. They would if I reroute the tubing but there is barely enough room to remove the memory. If they ever release a water block for this video card I'll have to get it and maybe I'll throw them in then.

Nice looking build. Note on the VGA not having a water block, usually most block makers start off with the reference blocks and then sometimes, they make blocks for the DCii's TOP's etc....depends on the popularity of each type from the VGA Mfrs.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I hope they do come out with a water block for this card. If they do I'll be able to move all of this into my pagoda... the wood case teased in one of the pictures here... I may have to create a new thread for that one.

I did some more searching and I found a water block for my video card! Just bought it I'll post the results when it gets here.
For anyone with the ASUS GTX 760 DCII and want a water block here's the one I've found: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=35204:bf622c87d7...
