Phobya 81136.Product colour:Black.
In the words of so many here, "Jesus Fucking Christ" is the first thing I have to say! It's so awesome to see everyone pumped up over the build. If I had known there would be so many comments, I'd have posted the pictures with some context, but I'll try and answer your questions now.
Are you posting more pictures?
Definitely! As soon as I get stuck into the meat of the build (this weekend maybe?) I'll take a few snaps during the build and the final result.
What are you going to do with this thing?
Play Minecraft on the lowest resolution possible with the particle effects and clouds turned off of course!
But seriously, there are several use cases intended for this rig, some personal, some work related:
Why four Titan X cards? Give 980 Ti some love!
Originally I considered two Titan X cards and two 980 Ti cards for this build, but that idea was discarded for a few reasons and considerations, some more logical than others:
For those asking about PALIT branded cards, they offer a reference design card for Titan X, which is fine, because most other vendors do the same. I will of course be dismantling the cards to add waterblocks to them, and possibly doing other crazy, potentially warranty-voiding overclocky things to them.
That Sandisk Ultra II..it's so peasantly compared to the 950 Pro.
I should have mentioned that I also have a 1TB 840 Evo that I'll be bringing over from my current workstation, which has a fairly negligible performance benefit over an 850 Evo and Pro in a practical setting.
The Ultra II was a Cyber Monday deal, much cheaper than an 850 Evo or Pro for reasonable performance and storage capacity, and more than enough for infrequent secondary storage.
De-ionized water, why not distilled?
I didn't list it in the pictures because it hasn't arrived yet, but I am expecting a delivery of distilled water tomorrow for filling the loop. The de-ionized water will be used to flush water blocks and radiators as it is a cheaper source of purified water to obtain here in the UK (unlike distilled water, which stores don't stock like in the US).
Biocide, coolant, anti-corrosives?
I have decided to start with distilled water and a couple of drops of Mayham's Biocide (a copper sulphate concentrate), and keep a close eye on the loop for the first few months to see how it works out, and introduce corrosion inhibitors if needed. I am fortunate that my loop mostly consists of copper, with brass and nickel plated/brass fittings, so at this point, my main concern would only be the tin/lead solder inside the radiators as being a potential corrosion hazard.
If anyone has information on corrosion inhibitor bases that can be added to water that don't contain a glycol mixture and dyes, and that are designed to protect copper/nickel/brass/tin/lead, I'd love to hear from you!
You better have awes-mazing monitors for that rig!
Baby steps...it has been five years since I built my last workstation, and everything will eventually have to be replaced, which includes five 21.5" 1080p 60Hz monitors. Replacing those is a financially crippling research project in itself, but for now, the tower is the first replacement to be dealt with.
Are you going to trick this thing out with LEDs, chrome rims and a sexy lady lounging over the case?
No, the tower isn't really all that visible in practice as it would be sitting behind a monitor (and not repositionable as the whole desk is covered in monitors!), so I did not intend on going crazy with lights, colored tubing and platinum case trim, instead directing the budget towards more practical components.
How much did the rig cost to build?
I'd better leave the number crunching to my rich daddy and his solid gold, diamond encrusted calculator.

If you made it this far through the rambling, thanks for reading, keep an eye out for more pictures, and keep on being glorious!
Lol, points for the work but you know the real things are less that $10 right?
Even the high end ones like Phobya are under $20.
Note that I will see this as a 5000$ build, some stuff that is fine for 2000$ has no place in a 5000$ in my opinion. So not all of this applies to a normal build.
>2 x LOGISYS CLK12UV 12 inch Dual UV Cold Cathode Light Kit
These kits are horrible... just buy some cablemod LED strips (they have uv ones too but I personally dont like uv stuff).
>EK-XTOP DDC 3.2 PWM Elite - Plexi (incl. pump)
NO. NO. NO. NEVER EVER buy a DDC pump if you are going for SUCH a build. A D5 pump is much better and a lot more quiet. Sure they are both good pumps but mainly the DDC pump costs a little bit less and is smaller, something you really dont care about in this build.
> 2 x PrimoChill 1/2in. Rigid PETG Tube – 4 x 36in. – Clear
Add 3 more, you will need it
>Corsair K95 RGB Wired Gaming Keyboard
They released a new version, the K95 platinum
>NZXT Sentry Mix 2 Fan Controller
Meh... just let your mainboard control your fans and use these fan controllers that just take one PWM input and multiply it like this one https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00OD7MO6E
>Corsair SP120 57.2 CFM 120mm Fan
>Corsair Air Series SP120 High Performance Edition (2-Pack) 62.7 CFM 120mm Fans
Nope to both, buy the new Corsair ML fans, they are much better.
>LG WH14NS40 Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer
If you really want one...
>Thermaltake Core X9 ATX Desktop Case
Kinda dont like the case but that is personal preference
>EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Superclocked Gaming ACX 3.0 Video Card (2-Way SLI)
Normally SLI is not really worth it. Right now I would just go for a titan XP. I know they cost a lot buy a single titan XP is a much better experience compared to 2x 1080. Would be a different story with 2x 1080ti.
>Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
I remember 4TB drives being more reliable but that could be wrong
>Crucial MX300 1.1TB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
Only Samsung 960evo or 960pro. That Crucial stuff has nothing to do in this build and it is a SATA SSD, so about 6x slower compared to the 960 pro and it probably wont even work with your mainboard.
>Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Not worth it. Go for x99 and an i7 6800k. You get 2 cores more and a much better mainboard for only 200€? or so more. This is change by A LOT once Ryzen comes out and Intel will probably answer with lower prices and maybe new x99 stuff. Definitely wait until Ryzen comes out and dont even bother with anything that has 4 cores.
While Intels 8 and 10 core CPUs are really overpriced their 6 core CPU is not that bad.
TLDR; normally not bad but if you are going for a 5000$ build you have to change some things...
As you said plugging the pump into the CPU OPT fan might be a better idea as it will let you monitor the pump rpm separately from the fan rmp.
The Phanteks hub only sends the rpm signal from the number 1 socket back to the Motherboard, if you have the pump there then you won't be able to get any reading for the fan speed.
Having said that, the Phanteks hub is for 3 pin fans, not 4 pin if I'm correct. I don't know if it will work properly with a pump or fan which needs a PWM signal. Yes, it works off a 4 pin PWM signal but I'm not sure what it then does to control the fans, does it convert the PWM signal to voltage regulation or does it actually pass on the PWM signal ... I think it uses voltage control as the PWM signal is usually sent over the 4th pin which is located away from the guide slot on the fan plug. Looking at the Phanteks hub it looks like these pins are the missing ones, so it couldn't be sending a true PWM signal.
Your pump might still work but the PWM part might not, so it may just run at min speed or max speed and not change speeds.
It is possible to get true PWM splitters (e.g. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00OD7MO6E) which will send a PWM signal to multiple fans, but the Phanteks hub isn't one of them as far as I know, sorry.
I'd reuse the old psu if it is not loud by now. That is not a bad model, and your PC won't use much anyway.
If you go with a mainboard that only has two ramslots I would get only 1 8GB stick, not 2x4GB. It will make upgrading later to 16GB much easier. The performance impact on the graphics by using only one ramstick in the beginning won't be noticeable with your usage. However, in both cases it should be faster ram.
since the H7 is not available in Germany right now - as far as I could see - I'd consider an alternative.

The Samsung 860 is of course a better SSD, if you prefer it that is fine.
To use multiple case fans with one fan header you can use fans like the Arctic PWM PST, they allow chaining multiple fans together. Or you get a fan hub. But it is important to get one that supports PWM, like https://www.amazon.de/Phobya-4Pin-PWM-Fan-Splitter/dp/B00OD7MO6E
This could be what you are looking for : Phobya 81136 https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00OD7MO6E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_F0CLDbB4KEKV2
It can happen, but not for 2 fans unless you are having some fans that drain a buttload of power. As a rule of thumb, 1 A at 12 V, so 12 W is fine for most fan headers.
Just to make it sure, are you sure that the fan header on your Mobo is a full PWM header and not a fake one?
If its full PWM; you can get a PWM splitter. Swifftech, Silverstone and Phobya sell those. They take the PWM signal of a single header and splitt it for up to 8 ports, but the power comes from a Sata or Molex power connector.

Here is a way to power 8 fans by PWM control from one PWM header, if that's what you're looking for.
I can't say how well it works as mine is still on its way to me. Just found it last night.
I just use Phobya splitters for my 2 480mm rads, a two way splitter cable for my two d5's and then just fan headers for the case fans
It's up to you. You can get a simple, cheap internal fan controller which will allow you to adjust voltage for 3-pin fans(usually it has something like 5-7-12v switch). Or you can buy something like this. It will allow you to adjust speeds of all your 4-pin(pwm) fans through your bios.
But since your case has 2x5.25 bays, i suggest an external fan controller.
Like this. There are plenty to choose from.
Using this:

https://www.amazon.de/Phobya-81136-L%C3%BCfter-Heizk%C3%B6rper-refoidisseurs-schwarz/dp/B00OD7MO6E
Just get that one and plug all your fans onto it =)
Let the haters hate, homie. I'm currently waiting on 18 more fans to come in to finish off my custom loop.
As for hiding them, the bottom ones on mine will be shielded by a custom side plate on the plexi side, and four fans side mounted on the other side.
For the ones on the top, I'm going to cut and solder the wires longer so I can run them across the top and down the middle.

I had a similar problem as this, i had a single case fan header on the motherboard but it didn't actually work so i went online and bought a molex to fan header thing, the speed isn't really an issue for me since they aren't loud fans but i bought something similar to this
Will this PWM fan splitter work?
https://www.amazon.com/Phobya-4Pin-PWM-auf-Splitter/dp/B00OD7MO6E
Here's one that uses molex. It's worth noting you cannot control speed on 3-pin fans using any hub.
It would be okay to put one of your case fans into the CPU fan header if your cases airflow and your CPU cooler are sufficient. In other words: Do it and check your temps while running prime95. If they aren't too high then you're good to go.
But yeah a splitter would be the better option. Use something like this http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00OD7MO6E Just search for PWM splitter and pick something with good reviews. There isn't much that they can do wrong on such a simple product.
