Steve and Marcel made this PC through The IT Guy Bournemouth before Elements launched. The photographs are of Edmond's actual build. This is a historical custom project, not a finished example of today's proposed H2.0 configuration.
Plan around the whole system
The agreed parts discussion specified an Intel Core i9-13900KS and GeForce RTX 4090, housed in a black Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL ROG Certified case. This was a substantial performance platform, but its size did not make the loop straightforward: the pump, radiator, tubing, graphics-card support and lighting each needed a considered position.
The final direction became a custom loop cooling both CPU and GPU. Earlier parts discussions included other cooling options; those were planning steps rather than a description of the finished machine.
Make the loop fit, and make it serviceable
Marcel fitted the two water blocks and formed hardline runs through the case. He also fabricated brackets for the pump and display, worked on support for the graphics card and adjusted the route as the physical build developed. The coolant and UV lighting gave the loop its colour, while the clear side panel made the detail visible.
Radiators and fittings were prepared and the loop was checked before handover. A custom water-cooled PC needs this sort of deliberate assembly because future access and maintenance matter just as much as the first photograph.
Check the finished machine
The December photographs also show the system running a benchmark during workshop testing. That does not tell the whole story of stability or temperatures by itself, but it does document the machine running after assembly. The job messages record the practical work around flushing, loop adjustments and final checks.
Each loop we build starts with the customer's use and an agreed component plan. Today we would also confirm block compatibility for the exact graphics-card revision, maintenance access and the cost of the finished specification before parts were ordered. Our custom water-cooled PC page explains the process.
Related to H2.0, but not the same machine
Edmond's 2023 build is another real example of the craft behind a CPU and GPU loop. The current H2.0 concept proposes a different white case and modern components; these photos do not depict that proposed model. You can also see Dan's earlier build and David's compact flight-sim PC to compare how the brief changes the engineering. We currently serve Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, with collection by arrangement and no shipping of finished PCs.
