I did it /g/, I finally built my first custom waterloop
>lel no gpu block
it's just a 1070, gonna upgrade to a 1080ti before I add the gpu to the loop. Not playing anything at high enough resolutions or refresh rates to overclock right now anyways.
>no rigid tubing
I don't have the room or tools to to rigid tubing, and I figured it would be easier to do rubber tubing for my first go.
>ugly tubing management
Yeah, but it would have either cost more money for 90 degree fittings, or I would have to deal with kinks due to too sharp a bend.
Let me know what you guys think.

Honestly doesn't matter if you didn't go 90 degree, it's functional, and isn't too messy, nice work
>>
>>55596308
Looks good for your first attempt.

If it works but it looks stupid, it isn't stupid.

Oh, and here's the specs for anyone interested
i7-6700k @ stock speeds (for now, since i just finished and am currently just bleeding the air out)
gtx 1070 @ stock (like I said, don't need the extra gpu power yet)
2x8gb ddr4 2666 corsair vengeance lpx ram
corsair cx650m semi modular psu
asus maximus viii hero rog motherboard (got it for like $60 off)
intel 530 480gb ssd for os and some games
wd red 3tb for everything else
case is the fractal design define s
water cooling parts are:
swiftech 3x120mm radiator (just a regular 30mm)
3x corsair sp120 fans (taking the one on the front off so I can connect the pump to my mobo, don't have a fan controller yet since i'm on just the one rad)
2x fractal design 140mm fans (came with the case)
1x nzxt 140mm fan (came with a closed loop I bought for a mini itx build that I'm not using currently, gonna take that fan out and move one of the fractal design fans to that spot once I get a 240mm rad for the front and stick more sp120's onto it)

here's a shot of the cable management in the back of the case
tiniest bit of bulge because of the 24 pin, but other than that everything runs pretty flat
