Mounted the pump under the top rack. Can't say I'm overly impressed with the mounting mechanism. It's a bit of a pain to work with. Also drilled / filed a slot for the 20/24 pin motherboard plug to come up through.


The chipset WB was a major PITB to install on this motherboard. The DFI has 2 mounting rings for chipset cooling, but the block is set up for either 4 rings or hard mount with bolts. Had to do some creative mixing and matching of other chipset coolers to come up with something that worked. The primochill ghost barbs are still installed in this picture, as they hadn't started leaking all over my motherboard yet............


The only thing I don't like about the swiftech res/rads is that I don't have a clear indication of water flow so I threw in one piece of clearflex to give me a view.



Top and back views of the loop during leaktesting / bleeding. I'm wondering if I've got a bum pump. It pushes the water in a cycle rather than a continuous flow. Maybe it's something about getting it bled, but I'm going to have to do some research to see if this is normal for the Danger Den DDCPX-PRO.


Last pic for now of the Enzotech heatsinks. Should cool off those components well as they're right in the path of the fan, and once I get back up and running I'll slap more onto whatever components are hot. I also cut away a small bit of the Apogee mount to give me access for installing those sinks.

Edit: Pump issue seems to be resolved. Must have been a major air pocket in the pump. Seems to be properly primed now, and damn it's putting out a lot of flow!!! :)
