Core P3 Custom Loop
by Kyle Y Posted on: 4/5/2022
Build Description
General purpose gaming machine built to be able to handle anything thrown at it.
Original purpose was to make something strong enough for gaming at a high frame rate on a 4K TV but ended up buying a 3440x1440 ultrawide instead. (4K TV is still the plan but currently in no rush until maybe a good deal comes along)
Been making custom loops for several years and all the pieces other than the CPU and GPU blocks are bits and pieces that I've collected by breaking apart salvaging my old loops, so I don't remember all the part numbers for the pump, fans, and radiators.
Compression fittings and hardline are mainly Monsoon parts. There are bits and bobs from XSPC and Bitspower in the loop as well.
The weird set of valve fittings above the pump are there to help with bleeding and draining of the loop.

Favorite Feature
The custom watercooling loop with the CPU monoblock. (First time I've used a motherboard specific monoblock)The case allows for wall mounting for maximum visibility too, but ended up repurposing the wall mount for a TV in the future.
