Anyone who has ever owned an xclio windtunnel(Or windtunnel advanced in my case) or has looked at one for more than a minute hows how hard it is to watercool one of these. I Ended up going the watercooling route, kind of a pain especially when you see the pump/res placement.

Parts List:
*XSPC RS360 Radiator- Bought from Jab-Tech
*10ft Clearflex 60 3/4" OD 1/2" ID Tubing(I highly recommend this stuff, just as good as tygon for less than 1/3rd the price) -Bought from Jab-Tech
*XSPC ddc Res Top- Bought from Jab-Tech
*Liang DDC 3.2(MCP355)- Bought From Jab-tech
*40mm Kaze Ultra fan(For northbridge, not watercooling but i did it along with the rest of the watercooling) - Bought from Jab-tech
*4x Dangerden Fatboy 1/2" G1/4 barbs(Pump/res and Rad) - Bought from Jab-tech
*Two 10 packs(20x) Black anodized Thumbscrews(Replaced the silver side panel screws aswell as the tooless pci system)- Bought from Jab-Tech
*12" Pure Silver Strip(Wound into a coil and put into tube directly before res(biocide) - Bought from Jab-Tech
*Bitspower Radiator Support 1 - Bought from Jab-tech
*6x Worm Drive Hose Clamps- Hardware Store
*6x Coolermaster R4 120mm Fans(90CFM @ 20dba) Blue LED - XoXide(Going out of business sale got em for like $5 each)
*Shin Etsu X23-7783D- Had it on hand(obviously)
*Two Hose grommets 1 1/16" OD 3/4" ID(To route tubing outside case)
*Coolant is Distilled water

Inside Case:










Pump/Res:




Res/Pump without flash: (You can see the biocide silver coil in the tubing on the inlet)






Rad:







Tubing/Grommets:







Thumbscrews on expansion slots:(I love how xclio has holes there for the screwdriver)



Very impressed with how it turned out, need to finalize a few small areas yet(Such as cable management,fill in the now open expansion card slot because i removed the fan controller, clean the dust from pcb of mobo/gpu/sound card), and replace the adhesive pad for the pump with screws but other than that is great Also need to clean up that rear 120mm fan hole, i removed the grill from it when i got the case and never got around to totally cleaning it up. Plus i may end up putting a 120.1 on there...

Right now my temps are idle around 45c/45c/35c/35c, and load at 60c/60c/58c/58c. Im holding off on posting screenshots though until about a week or so once the system is ~99.9% bled and the shin etsu has had time for the solvents to evaporate.

Dont skimp on a power supply,if it fails, it usually takes out other components alongside it.
New? Dont forget to read the rules. Heatware
P.M. If interested in Shin Etsu X23-7783D
