Hey All,
Rather new SFF member but longtime fellow over at HardForum.
I had an itch to attempt to build a watercooled (CPU) Lian Li O5S. Since the O5S is shorter than the more common O5SX (it doesn't have the raised top portion that allows for a 240MM rad), its built to be air cooled only. After some trial and error, I managed to successfully get a wc loop built for my processor. Honestly, it will likely be far cooler if I air cooled it but it wasn't the point... I think it looks way cooler with this loop than another boilerplate air cooler. It was a fun build but not practical!
6800k runs @ ~38c w/ load at 30%. ~52c @ 70%
Strix 1080ti OC @ ~88c @ 100%
Happy to take more pictures but this is what I have thus far...
Cheers!
