Superkompakt vattenkylningsprojekt.
Welcome! This is the build log on my NCAMSE M1 build which features high end components and a custom water cooling loop. My main plan is to stick to straight pipes which as far as I know never have been done in this case. This means I have to use a lot of fittings, a lot or patience and a lot of time.
I recently translated the main post into English but will keep the updates in this build log in Swedish. I will probably make a smaller English version later on when everything is done.

This is a very complicated build involving many hard-to-climb obstacles and has a very steep curve to it. As it get's more and more complete more problems occur and the more components I fit in this small case the harder it gets to work in it. The absolutely largest obstacle is to fit all pipes straight with the fittings and still have room left for both airflow and cables.
In February I finally reached my first goal - to fill the loop and test it out! It was a success but I knew I was not finished here. I encountered more problems to solve along the way and learned a lot in the process. Phase two of the build is currently undergoing and it involves new pipes, a slightly changed layout and new fluid. I'll keep you updated as often as I can in this build log!
This is the video that fueled the flame to start this project in the first hand. Bluehandstech NCASE M1 build that looks very impressive! I knew I had to do something similar...
