Water-cooled ASUS Maximus XI Extreme + Evolv X

[Philizard]

Hi,

My first Water-cooled Build.
My previous PC must have been 10 years old, Intel i7 920. Thought I had go nuts at least once in my life.

It's still a bit of a work in progress.

I was inspired by the water cooled Evolv X at Computex. However I wanted it to be different with the vertical GPU and tubing. I had to make a bracket to move the Res forward so that it would fit just right, although it blends in quite well. Also there is a small metal block under the GPU bracket to hold the GPU up at the increased height.

Still to do:
- Tubing will be redone, as it is far from perfect.
- I will either get a new PSU or at least cover the label.
- Likely a Monoblock if bitpower or Ek release one that appeals to me (Might grab a 9900k, as i've got another use for the 8700k)
- Figure out if the existing vertical slots can be used for something... Considered an intel 905p, though that seems way overkill (And expensive)
