Last rad appeared today along with a couple of fans... Annoyingly,the cables are not braided and they have coloured all the wires black,so good luck if you want to braid these...for a £12 fan,braided cables are not a lot to ask. They do include a 7v resistor tho for those without controllers They look great in case. Now just waiting for the 12 120 SP versions and another 140....
ST got the rest of my loop in. Sorry about the crap pics,the weather is bad and my phone is no-pro 2 Koolance D5 tops and the rest of my fans. The pics of the pump tops doesnt do them justice,they are the best bit of machining i have seen on WC gear. No swirls or tool marks,even the impeller machining is spot on. Should get all the loop in and done this week,ordering the first of the GPUs and another SSD end of the week.
Lovely build! I really like the case! Quick question though, wouldn't it be better to cool both cpu in parallel rather than serial? As in splitting the cooling route to cool both CPU at the same time?
Chrome plated copper. Copper tube would of looked odd with all the red in the case Would of been awkward to do with this tubing,serial is easier.
Pics are fine. I suspect the last pic went off on you because you are facing the light. -Unless you are trying to talk yourself into a camera purchase. I'll shut up if that's the case.
A little update.. Bolted the two tops together,just waiting on a Sli link to join them up. Mounting holes drilled and bulkhead fitting in place. Silicone washers for pump dampening.. Pumps bolted in. Top rad fitted. Some external shots... One of the SP 120s didnt come with a red fan ring...hence the white one in a couple of shots... There is still some painting to be done yet on the rads and pump tops before final fix,i was keen to see how they look in there....couldnt help myself!
Specialtech got my order out again in quick time... So im looking now towards the modding and finishing up the loop so i can get this fired up. Some 1.5mm Alu sheet and some 3 mm flouro red acrylic. Im removing the drive bay panels and replacing them with a solid Alu panel and doing some cover work on the HDD/SSD caddies.. Some braided fan cables,braiding cables is a pain at best,but doing fan cables is just frustrating for me,hence i wimped out and bought some. The last fittings for the loop,Koolance lo profile 90's and a VID fitting for the pump tops. Trying to keep the cabling tidy has become a bit of an obsession,these caught my eye... Dont know if i will use it,i really im not keen on that HUGE connector.. These i will be using.. Staggered length SATA III cables,should keep everything tidy behind the board.. Now.....this was my GPU choice,3 670 Cheesecake. I know Coolmiester will be disappointed that its not dual 690...sorry mate! Whats this?? A full size 680 board?? Which means 680 blocks and plates!!! Dont get comfy stock cooler.... So now im waiting on another 2 cards and the blocks...plus some more storage...maybe a light even!....OOOOOOooooooh!
I love it ! THis will look awsmoe when its done. Those 670's are gorgeaus! Just like i want them to be, not those small and tiny looking things !
Looking very nice. When doing hard piping loop like this, does it make it so it can all be removed in 1 piece? would be quite a bonus perk if it can. stars & rep
Appreciate it! All the lengths are hand bent to size so its all comes apart easily,just release the lock on the fitting and you can pull the piece as needed.
It's a bit-tech thing the F T W, if you type it altogether it says cheesecake, it's an auto thing like on steam when people swear it coughs up pink love hearts. Don't know the history of the F T W thing though. I agree though the evga cards are very nice & the warranty top notch & this build is sweet.
