Omg I nearly died! My heart sank then it just clicked and I was so happy

I heard back from them and they said there is no safe way to remove the fins

Masking tape it is

please dont it wasnt you, i have too many opinions about some of the rules in this forum! i was under this impression a forum was a place to get help and share things?

many be gaddafi runs this place?

anyway while on my ban i managed to move some bits round

as you can see my 140 is outside the case and the pump is at an odd angle but with a little determination, 45's and 90's this is the out come

140 inside

pump on its side but now 0 noise at full

as you can see its very tight!

looks a lot better i think

but wait what is this?!?!?!? the side cover wont fit now!!! lol

need to dremel off those nuts :/

what do you think?

buzzlightweight · 27 Oct 2011 at 22:56

btw the side door fits nicely

Is it just me or does the hose from the bottom of the GPU to the rad have a kink in it?

OCD-OC · 28 Oct 2011 at 14:35

is there not another IO port on the bottom of the reservoir ?

if not no biggy

but I thought it would be easier to go from the GPU to there

and the 90 degree from the GPU to the RAD is kinked ... that'll affect the flow.

I'd loop it from the rear RAD to the top of the GPU .. then from the GPU to the bottom of RES

it looks very bent but its just the angle, it is slightly bent yes but not as much as it looks

as above but the temps are still the same? so i cant be effecting it much? when my 2700k arrives i will be doing some more plumbing, i have bought a couple more 45's and 90's.

i bought the 2700k to see what it can do, if it is better than the 2600k i will sell it

Really liking how this has turned out

Can't remember if you said and didn't see from quick browse, are you planning on cable braiding? Would really finish the build with some red and black cable braid me thinks.

Looks good! Got the same motherboard as you
