    Hey Guys,

    im new in this forum, but since a few months ive looked very often in the one or other project log, just to see the progress. And now its my turn.

    Project Maximus


    Actually im waiting for my case, i think it will be in Germany (where im living) in the next 2-3 weeks (mid Juni).

    Hardware

    CPU: i7-5930K (evtl. auch i7-6950X)
    GPU(s): 3x MSI GTX 980 TI 6GD5T OC
    RAM: 64Gb Corsair Platinum DDR4 2800MHz CL14
    SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 512Gb / 850 Pro 1Tb
    Case: Caselabs Magnum SMA8
    PSU: Corsair HX1200i Platinum
    Mainboard: MSI X99 XPower AC

    Water cooling

    CPU: Bitspower Summit EF
    GPU(s): Bitspower VG-NGTX980TIMG Acrylic
    Pump(s):Laing DDC mit Bitspower Magic Cube
    AGB(s): Bitspower DDC Upgrade
    Radiator: Bitspower Leviathan Slim 280, Leviathan Slim 360, Leviathan Xtreme 480, Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 560 (oder Hardwarelabs)
    Fans: 15x NF-F12 industrialPPC-2000 IP67 PWM / 12x NF-A14 industrialPPC-2000 IP67 PWM
    Fittings: Bitspower Matt Black
    Tubes: Bitspower Crystal Link 12mm
    Liquid: Mayhems Pastel Black und Purple (self mixed)
    Heat-conducting paste: Cooler Master MasterGel Maker Nano
    Control: Aquaero 6LT
    Lighting: AquaComputer Farbwerk

    Whats planned?

    I will produce and use a few S-Lights, one of them integrated in the watercool loop. The tubes im going to use are all Bitspower clear.
    The CPU and mainboard (fullcover block) will become its own watercool loop, the 3 GPUs another one.
    Color scheme will be black and purple, all Mayhems Pastel. I will make my own purple, with Pastel White and Puprle Dye.

    Each radiator will become fans on both sides, just to be sure to have the maximum good temperatures.

    I will make all cables by my own, in the old way. Meaning of "oldschool" - with Heatshrink and without cable combs, but still perfect.
    Im producing cables since a few years, i think i know what i have to do. xD

    Problems

    The big S-Light which will be integrated in the loop, seems to be a problem.
    I can produce that S-Light by my own, but the rails for the water is something, i can not do alone.
    So i have to find a german company who is able to make exactly what i have planned.
    But - this will not be a problem, which can not be solved. :rock:

    Always a good idea, to have the tools for everything.
