Corsair 280X Custom Water Loop

My first custom water loop in a Corsair Crystal 280x micro atx case with a RTX 3070 / 10700k and Corsair Hydro X Series parts. This one was a lot of fun to build. Once the water blocks are released for the RTX 3070, that will be underwater too.

Only video on KZbin showing actually filling the XD3. I’m doing it now for my first time ever and am worried I’m doing it wrongly or so slowly. Glad to know I was filling and stopping the pump in the right places not to run it dry.

Beautiful PC! I'm looking to do my first custom loop soon. I finally have a good space to confidently work in

[@Mr.RoWdyy]

[@poonie9091]

NIce build!! I want to get the kit for my build too but I would like to know how do you go about draining that loop

[@PrettiestJewx3]

Looks good

[@fnuraghupathireddy2789]

Nice build, trying to install the same, can you let me know the exact fittings you used at video frame 6:10?

[@danijelkotur688]

It missing a side view. I would like to know how QL120 looks on 280x, compare to LL120

[@alfredteh]

Hi Alex, you have this build for almost a year now. how do you find the Corsair XD3 doing? Does it make loud noise over the period of time as many of reviews out there pointed out?

Screaming without the s

Nice build! Any plans on adding a gpu block?

[@drix2247]

I actually did already! I will add a video update because I filmed that too. I used the N-MS3070VES-X block from Bykski

The ram costs more than the motherboard

[@toasty-x]

Not entirely how it works but i get the point. Filled my loop with an astonishing 300ml.
