Project White Carbonite, November 2020

[MrPrisoner]

I've always dreamed of building a custom water cooling loop, just for how cool it looks. So when we went into lockdown I had some time on my hands and decided to build a loop with parts sourced from Carbonite. It was great dealing with a bunch of carbies who I tagged below, you guys really made this possible. My current build was in a Fractal Design Define 7 case with a white interior, so I thought I'd stick with the black and white stormtrooper look. And the name White Carbonite because it's mainly built with parts sourced from here.

Wtf, title misleading! I thought this was something to do with changing Carb to a White UI!

I saw this PC yesterday, all I could say was DAMN!

It just needs a couple of finishing touches, will post some pics here later today.

It is done. Here are some pics, will also put up a timelapse video of the build for anyone interested.

I still want to change the leds on the cpu block and get proper custom cables (especially that white pump pwm connector top right)
