How thick is the wall of the pipe?
You sure you can even get it down .6mm?

Yeah having serious doubts about the copper piping now - but for the life of me cannot figure out a nice loop with plexi or tubing.
Might give this another go.

Basically if i ditch the copper i'll add another GPU and potentially cool the motherboard..

Why would you want copper pipes anyway? Might look good but maintenance is a cunt.

No compromise!
That's why :)

EDIT:
And i've worked out a nice way of sanding the edge of the pipes down to fit the SLI connections, this loop really only has 3 bends, the rest are straight pipes.

So im tossing up with my coolant colors and the overall colors of my build.

Should i keep the red heatsinks on the ram? or swap them for black.
Likewise i was thinking of ditching the red coolant for black oil coolant.
Sleeving colors i've decided to stick with pure black, red sata.

Edit:
just finishing polishing each individual GPU/PSU and motherboard capacitor

Can't be bothered going that nuts with everything.

I'm currently conflicted on how I want my system setup, should I use the 300$ in QDC fittings on every piece or just go grab compressions and kick myself in the nuts with regard to maintenance/switching parts. Flow rate loss with the QDCs isn't important because of the two PMP 450S pumps in serial.

Yeah i cannot stand the look of qdc in a build. I just have a drainport at the bottom compartment. Bit of case tilting and everything eventually comes out.
Flow rate is hardly restricted with the newer disconnects, so a single pump will push it fine unless you have ridiculous long tubes.

Tilting my case isn't exactly practical.

Practical, never been a fan :)

Update:
So I've decided to throw another 680 into this build, even with the copper i feel it needs more components...my motherboard looking quite lonely with only the single gpu.

Now Im going to leave this next part up to jsp.
My waterblocks. Do i change the gpu to match the cpu or the other way around?
