Profeus - Republic Of Gamers 900D Fully Overclocked/Water Cooled Rig - Build Log

[Profeus]

Hey guys so I have posted an original forum post for my Corsair 600T build from which I have learnt so much from all of you and doing over a year of research/building to create... It was also my first ever attempt at a water cooled and over clocked rig.

After many realisations, the biggest one being over heating issues due to not enough radiator surface area for cooling... I have decided to buy a better case to base my build on and with it I am water cooling every single component in the rig.

Here is my journey to building the ultimate monster of a build that I have ever made in my life, I have spent over $7K AUD on this project to date and am finally ready to begin pulling my not so old 600T build apart to evolve it into this machine.

I cant wait to over clock this rig and see what kind of temps I can maintain doing it! 😄

Here are the components for the build, this will be updated when required...
