I chose to use PETG
tubing because
it’s much less
prone to cracking
during bending
and deburring
I started by putting the pipes in
place once I’d bent them so they
would touch the floor, and then
proceeded to draw around the
tubes, so I knew exactly where to
drill the holes in the floor. After all,
I only had one chance!
I used a step drill bit to get the
holes to the size I needed, then I
installed two pass-through fittings
from EK. These allowed me to hide
the sharp edges from my drilling,
which gave me the opportunity to
add fittings into the floor to give
themachineanevencleanerlook.
That’s an enormous amount
of cooling power for just a CPU. Is
there an overclock and what sort
of temperatures are you getting?
Liam: The CPU is a Core i7-6800K.
It’s getting on a bit now, but I
currently have it running stably
at 4.5GHz on all cores. The
temperatures under load usually
sit at around 50-60°C. I love the
overkill cooling system – it means
I can run the fans at basically
silent speeds and still have
fantastic temperatures.
