Yup! Thinking a 6 month flush/rinse and an annual take it apart and boil everything.

Thanks again everyone for your help! Build is complete. I posted a new thread here: https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/cerberus-x-custom-water-cooling-asrock-taichi-ultimate-intel-9900k.9858/

So this was my first attempt at water cooling and also my first attempt with an SFF case. I used the Cerberus-X (http://www.sliger.com/products/cases/cerberus_x/) from Sliger. Special thanks to @MarcParis and @fabio on the Cerberus thread! Most of the parts are listed below. I ended up using...

@fabio -- Thanks for the suggestion! Works on top... glad I bought a black top for the white surrounds. :)

Nice! Yeah maybe I'll just move it to the top. Just need to build a wire to extend the two pin sensor currently at the bottom up to the top...

So I got the Aquaero in today and 'mounted' it to the case. It's not really attached to anything but semi-wedged to the front bottom fan with its power cables routed under the front radiator and its fan cables wedged in the front bottom corner... Anyone see any concerns with this?

Yeah this whole project was a splurge for me. Sold a bunch of mining cards when I got out of mining and decided to dump it into this. The fittings were a lot more nickle and diming because I didn't want to miss any parts when building. Got a bunch left over too. 350 looks right including the...

If my counting is right, 35.

Completed my loop, will water test while waiting for rest of parts. Didn't intend to not use tubing, but all the spaces were so small that it was easier to just use the fittings...

Heh, so the SFX PSU arrived, but it doesn't have an ATX adapter, so now I need the SFX rear mount for the Cerberus. Another couple day delay. :)

Haha! Small world! Yup its all good. Thanks again! Got it installed today.

Solved my other temp control question, ordered a Aquacomputer Aquaero 6 LT that I'll hide in the bottom front of the case or behind the cross bar.

So I've got the hydrocopper installed and hooked into the bottom part of the loop. Question -- can I have the out line going through the opposite side of the inlet into the CPU block or is that what they mean by not connecting them on the same side due to severe performance penalties? EDIT...

Thanks! First water build, first SFF build. Lots of scraped fingers and cursing. :) Galletabah is correct.

Hey All, Got my build underway! Turns out the ATX PSU that I had will not fit with my res mounted to the front rad/fan combo... so I ordered an SFX-L PSU last night... Hopefully be able to get this guy booted up next week... Modifying the Heatkiller tube wasn't too bad. Took a bit of time and...
