    Project Ecthelion - Thermaltake Tower 900 Build, Dual Loop Hardline Liquid Cooling

    Fluid Color Additive Leak testing... Completed Benchmarks... Completed Stress Tests... Completed Now its time to add pretty colors to the fluid loops! Sticking with Mayhem's Pastel additives, as I used the Pastel Blue in my current rig, and after 1 year, it still looks great. Haven't...

    Project Ecthelion - Thermaltake Tower 900 Build, Dual Loop Hardline Liquid Cooling

    Leak Testing, Benchmarks, and Temps After a lot of frustration, the cables are done and its time to move on to the more fun parts of finishing up the build. Now that everything is in place, we can begin to make sure our connections are sound and start filling up the loops. Being that we are...

    HDMI CEC to turn TV on with system boot

    Thanks for the idea about using a Master Controlled power strip. I am using a 40in 4K Samsung TV above my 38in Dell Ultrawide. If I forgot to turn it on via the remote when powering on the PC, all of my windows and browsers would get shifted around. Now it powers on automatically right after...

    Project Ecthelion - Thermaltake Tower 900 Build, Dual Loop Hardline Liquid Cooling

    No kidding. At first I thought it was just a single PSU connector that needed to be changed, and I was fine with that as mistakes happen. But when I discovered that every cable had to be re-wired... I was a tad pissed.

    Project Ecthelion: Sleeved Cables... CableMod sucks Been a while between my last post and this one. During that time we sold our home and moved, had various work trips, and went on a family vacation. Back from all that, and ready to finish this build! With the tubing done, and the small...

    Project Ecthelion - Thermaltake Tower 900 Build, Dual Loop Hardline Liquid Cooling

    Stats Screen & Case Lighting Now that the bulk of the components have been installed in the system, I wanted to add a small display screen to the case to show loads and temps at a glance using NZXT CAM as a dashboard. Same idea that I used on my current build, Project Open Core as seen below...

    Project Ecthelion - Thermaltake Tower 900 Build, Dual Loop Hardline Liquid Cooling

    Pumps & Tubing Now that all the waterblocks and radiators have been installed, its time to get the tubing runs completed. This build will have a combination of hard and soft tubing. We are using 2x Thermaltake Pacific PR22-D5 Res/Pump Combos for power our loops. These are supposed to be...

    Project Ecthelion - Thermaltake Tower 900 Build, Dual Loop Hardline Liquid Cooling

    Radiators & Fans This will be a fairly quick update at there isn't much to this part of the build, but there are some important steps that I didn't want to skip over. As seen in the earlier loop diagram, this build will have 2 loops, and dual Radiators. We will be using XSPC EX360 Radiators...

    Project Ecthelion - Thermaltake Tower 900 Build, Dual Loop Hardline Liquid Cooling

    Custom RGB LEDs Strips With all the waterblocks assembled, its time to get our block lighting squared away. The case lights will be RBG, but will most likely stay a soft white glow to allow the case components to we lit well. The waterblocks on the other-hand will take full advantage of the...

    Project Ecthelion - Thermaltake Tower 900 Build, Dual Loop Hardline Liquid Cooling

    Acrylic Divider MOD Although I really like the Thermaltake Tower 900, there are a few things that visually I want to change. It has some large cavities towards that back that are made to route cables and tubing. In function is is fine, but I don't like the way its looks, along with the extra...

    Project Ecthelion - Thermaltake Tower 900 Build, Dual Loop Hardline Liquid Cooling

    RAM Heatsink Color MOD Continuing with the color theme we have going for the case, GPUs and Motherboard, we need to modify the 64GB of GSkill Trident Z RAM we have going into this system. The actual heatsinks are great, with a gunmetal finish, but the red plastic highlights have to go...

    Project Ecthelion - Thermaltake Tower 900 Build, Dual Loop Hardline Liquid Cooling

    Thanks for the clarification. The Stainless shroud looks pretty good, just not what we wanted for this particular build theme. I definitely like that you guys include a shroud around the "fluid window" vs just having the entire acrylic slab visible (cough...EK...cough). I modified the...

    Project Ecthelion - Thermaltake Tower 900 Build, Dual Loop Hardline Liquid Cooling

    GPU Acrylic Backplates / SLI Bridge Now that we have some really nice looking white GPU Waterblocks, we needed some backplates to match. Originally we were going to purchase metal backplates, and just paint them as we did the waterblock shrouds. Luckily we came across another option that...

    Project Ecthelion - Thermaltake Tower 900 Build, Dual Loop Hardline Liquid Cooling

    Thanks! I have done the planning with 3D renders in the past for other builds (as seen here), but decided to go more freehand on this one. A LOT less time involved compared to the 3D attempts. Doesn't look as cool, but did the job, and helped me figure out the fitting count.
