OT: Attempting my first water cooled HYTE Y60 Mid Tower desktop build, any advice greatly appreciated.

Ok, I'm ready to start wiring, I have not a clue, so some reading is in order lol

Wiring coming along. I bought this motherboard because it came highly reviewed and given great marks from gamers in general.

It comes with 6 sys fan connections, so I had to use a couple splitters.

While wiring through the evening I ran across some entertaining videos on YouTube.

If you hadn't seen him yet, and you like story telling with humor, might I recommend "The fat electrician" on YouTube. I especially enjoyed the "most gangster marine of all time" and the "most gangster politician of all time". Both were very good.

Almost there. I fabricated my own pump stand mount since the 2x140mm fans and radiator are in the place the pump should mount.

Bent and installed the easy acrylic tubing pieces first. The last 2 runs going to the 240mm radiator in the roof require many bends to work around the existing installed equipment.

Here's current pics.

Pressure testing the entire loop now. If the pressure holds, filling coolant, firing it up for the 2day pump operation test.

Looking good, I suppose.

Thanks NS. And just so you know, I knew next to nothing when I started this. It was actually loads of fun to build.

Looks like a fish tank full of neon tetras

Lose the parabolic screen imo and get two screens side by side

You know I'm going to build it 🤣 

Already spoke to the wife, as soon as the roof is done this summer, I'm building it. And I'll be making it a dual system with 4 monitors, 2 for each system. I'll use Byski this time instead of EKWB for the water cooling system.

This will be an awesome set up for combat air and fps co-op as well as against one another.

Lol

I've always been in to tech in some way, especially gaming. I took computer science as my major back in the 90's after my enlistment was up. To bad I didn't get to see it past 1 year, long story, but I've lived, shall we say, an interesting life. Hockey, Football, we're a passion since childhood, but so was tech stuff.

I just never really dove in to it like I am now. It's actually a lot of fun to build them, and I do love the whole "latest and greatest" gadget thing.
