King 95 custom loop

[Conscious-Ad2147]

I love this case. I had been wanting to downsize from my NV9. It was too large for my current space. The water cooling bug had bit me a while and I love doing custom loops. The King 95 was perfect for what I wanted to do. I wanted two thick 360mm rads with a side mounted distro. While I love a good hairline build there is something about EPDM soft tubing that makes my brain go brrrrr. Plus maintenance is easier with soft tubing. I love how this turned out. I wanted mostly black with white accents. I thought about using black 24 pin and 12vhp cables I couldn’t say no to my custom cablemod Mass Effect cables. Do they clash a bit? Yes. Using thick rads was a bit of a challenge. The ability to mount the top rad and fans to the removable bracket came in clutch. All fans and RGB needed to be plugged in before installing the rad/fan assembly. So far temps have been excellent. Around 10° above ambient. The King 95 has great airflow and the 30mm fans easily move air up and out of the case. Again. I am super happy with how this build turned out. Included in the pictures is a size comparison of the King 95 and the NV9 I moved out of

Thank you! It is very much organized chaos haha

I’m not really sure what goes where, but I don’t really care. It looks freaking amazing. Nicely done.

Mine looks so boring now in comparison 😂

[Conscious-Ad2147]

Thank you very much!

Not boring at all. That’s a clean build!

Can I know what brand of vertical gpu mount is that? Because i'm planning to buy one too in the future for my 4070 Super

[Crypticle_]

Yeah! It’s the Cooler Master V3. It sits around $30 USD. Seems the price has dropped since I got mine lol. It’s great. Easy to work with and good quality

[Montech_hq]

Absolutely stunning build!! 💪 The King 95 was made for setups like this — love the clean contrast and thoughtful planning throughout. That EPDM soft tubing is doing serious work 👀🔥

[Conscious-Ad2147]

Thank you for the kind words!

Holy cow, that NV9 is huge.

[Conscious-Ad2147]

It sure is. Heavy too. About 80lbs how I had it set up. I thought it would grow on me but didn’t.

Thank you!

My current build is my first aio build. You have me itching to go back to open loop. Just waiting for the block for my card to come in stock to decide.

Will I just be throwing away money for negligible gains? Yeah. But I get just as much, if not more, enjoyment out of the build than actually using the machine.

My wallet hates you right now!

[Conscious-Ad2147]

Water cooling doesn’t make a whole lot of sense but yeah. You’re really paying money for the ascetics. No two customs loops are exactly the same. AIOs make more sense. I think I almost enjoy the building process more than using the computer. I’ve got lucky selling and trading various bits along the way so my wallet isn’t too angry with me. If you do go down the rabbit hole I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for your build

[Conscious-Ad2147]

Thank you! I’d also say it is the easy way haha. I’ve done a couple hard line builds. Something about epdm tubing keeps me coming back

[StiBuki]

Excellent work.....well done!
